Current Affairs The Would Be Emperor Has No Clothes (aka POTUS 47)

[LinekersLegs]

Sir Frederick 'Jumbo' Stewart: There are four words to be included in a proposal if you want it thrown out.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Complicated. Lengthy. Expensive. Controversial. And if you want to be *really* sure that the Minister doesn't accept it, you must say the decision is "courageous".
Bernard Woolley: And that's worse than "controversial"?
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Oh, yes! "Controversial" only means "this will lose you votes". "Courageous" means "this will lose you the election"!

This is ethnic cleansing. No less. It is ethnic cleansing.

I wonder what America literally refilling Israel's rockets under biden would be classed at (genocide?) given the rockets were killing thousands of people?

As dramatic as people are being about this, biden armed Israel to commit genocide. A little bit of context when reacting to trump is required but I doubt people will have. Quotes seem to be talking about rebuilding Gaza for the Palestinians which absolutely may have hidden context, not really as bad as refilling the rockets fired at Palestine whilst they get humanitarian aid.

"yesterdays news was greeted with cheer by people all around the world"
I mean it's delusional.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trumpsaid Tuesday that he’s given his advisers instructions to obliterate Iran if it assassinates him.

“If they did that they would be obliterated,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters while signing an executive order calling for the U.S. government to impose maximum pressure on Tehran. “I’ve left instructions if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left.”

What even is this timeline?

Entire CIA to be purged and replaced.

I take it you haven’t been reading this thread where myself, and many others have been calling the genocide for what it is all year.

As for your last sentence “quotes seem to be about rebuilding Gaza,” - no, no they absolutely do not seem to be about that. Not even close. But I am sure you already know that don’t you

Not sure you understand just what trunk is threatening here. It certainly ISNT rebuilding Gaza for the natives.

Trump has managed the impossible! He has found a place that even Graham doesn’t want to send troops to.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Out - Let’s rebuild East Palestine, Ohio

In - Let’s rebuild Palestine.

USAID, that Musk is enthusiastically gutting, would be a lead agency if you had any intention to rebuild.

 

[RAFUH]

Probably not seen or heard that 44% of the people killed in Gaza on the last crusade were children.

Neither cares if it was kids then or now.

As the u.s is retreating on all fronts and not even bothered about soft power anymore, how long before someone steps into the vacuum and starts oh, I dunno, a version of isis or similar. Who will stand up to terrorist factions from now on? state backed or domestic.

I doubt very much it is about temporary rehousing but the context here really is key. At this point it's fair to say America hates Palestine and stand with Israel no matter who is running the country. However the last leader wanted Israel to murder them, the new one wants to simply move them. Neither are right and my heart really does go out to them knowing just how little support they have. It's their country and they should really have the world's backing , but that is another talking point in another thread.

Either way context is , one president wanted to murder them all, the other doesn't? At some point , in an empty hollow way, trump is the more humane of the two! Only if you accept the fact that America clearly will never allow Palestine to be free of Israel.

I resisted the urge to tag Davek. In fact I've resisted the urge to tag Davek since the inauguration.

That would really spice up this thread
