Does anyone think that Donald Trump will lose any votes because of these latest Epstein documents?
My guess is that Trump could rape underage girls on 5th Avenue without losing a single MAGA vote. 🙄
It looks like 35% of Americans would vote for Trump no matter what. Trump is not running for president. He is running to stay out of jail. Anything he says that is extreme and entertaining appeals to this minority of voters. He is having a ball just saying outlandish and crazy stuff that keeps him on TV and the front page every day.
That photo of him being led off the stage posted here recently shows he is an old man and not in good health. Something may give way for him health wise in the coming campaign months.

Hope this link works. I have known Roger for 50+ years but never once thought he would go this far but did think he would anything short of murder to achieve his goals.

Professor Juan Cole writing today in Informed Comment:
The longer the Biden administration allows this savage carnage on the part of Israel to continue before the eyes of the world, the more likely it is that the whole Middle East and perhaps the Muslim world more widely will be destabilized. The US and its allies will not be left untouched by such a development, as the Red Sea debacle already demonstrates. But that interruption of container ship traffic could be a minor consequence of the Israeli genocide against Gaza compared to what is coming.

Doug,
George W. Bush's former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill reported in his memoir, The Price of Loyalty, that Donald Rumsfeld had spoken to him as early as January of 2000 about contingency planning for a U.S. invasion of Iraq.
As you probably know, both Rumsfeld and Cheney were members of the Neocon think tank, the Project for a New American Century in the 1990s. PNAC's agenda, even prior to Dubya's controversial election in 2000, and 9/11, was to invade Iraq and depose Saddam Hussein.
The other PNAC/Wolfowitz agenda items, which were disclosed to Wesley Clark at the Pentagon shortly after 9/11, were based, in part, on Israel's Oded Yinon Plan-- to use the U.S. military to weaken and de-stabilize Israel's Muslim neighbors.
President Reagan maintained in his public speeches that the Soviet Union was the Evil Empire. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
Today, as a result of America's subsequent foreign policy actions you recite above the United States has emerged as the new Evil Empire. What is unique about the U.S. Empire is that a foreign country, Israel, exerts much control today over America's foreign policy.

Israel makes no distinction between civilians and combatants. The IDF executes their own citizens while they wave white flags. Israeli soldiers post gleeful videos on TikTok celebrating their war crimes. Netanyahu compares the entire population of Gaza to the Amalekites and calls for a holy war to permanently eliminate the population of Gaza. Israeli politicians make genocidal speechs on mainstream television news shows. Israeli television broadcasts a children's choir singing about the absolute annihilation of their enemies, the people of Gaza. The very idea of international law becomes meaningless as a genocide unfolds before the worlds eyes and the world sees that no one will be held accountable. The seeds of chaos and world war are being sown.
Indeed the U.S. and Israel could end up destroyed by Israel's genocidal attacks upon Gaza using armaments shipped to them by President Biden. The whole world is watching all this unfold live on TV.

Israel is going to defend itself and by so doing binds itself to the court's decision on the case.

Excerpts from a long article in the Wall Street Journal of January 2, 2024, front page:
GAZA DESTRUCTION STANDS OUT IN MODERN HISTORY
The war in the Gaza strip is generating destruction comparable in scale to the most devastating urban warfare in the modern record.
By mid-December Israel had dropped 29,000 bombs, munitions and shells on the strip. Nearly 70% of Gaza's 439,000 homes and about half of its buildings have been damaged or destroyed. The bombing has damaged Byzantine churches and ancient mosques, factories, and apartment buildings, shopping malls and luxury hotels, theaters and schools. Much of the water, electrical, communications and healthcare infrastructure that made Gaza function is beyond repair.
Most of the strip's 36 hospitals are shut down, and only eight are accepting patients. Citrus trees, olive groves and greenhouses have been obliterated. More than two-thirds of its schools are damaged......
The destruction resembles that left by Allied bombing of German cities in World War II. 'The word "Gaza" is going down to go down in history along with Dresden and other famous cities that have been bombed,' said Robert Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago and author of a history of aerial bombing. 'What you're seeing in Gaza is the top 25% of most intense punishment in history.'"

Israel is not perpetrating a genocide.
Hamas is using its civilians as human shields. Israel has shown over and over again, and then again, tunnels leading to hospitals, mosques, schools, apartment buildings.
If Israel wanted to commit a genocide, you would see hundreds of thousands dead. They would not leaflet and tell residents to leave war zones before going in---a humane strategy that costs IDF soldiers their lives.
A genocide is the Tokyo fire bombing of WWII, or the nuke-jobs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, or what he Nazis did, or the Japanese in Nanjing.
You are entirely deluded, your commentary worthless. But go to Gaza and you can see for yourself. Advice: Do not accept any invites to see Gaza from the top of a building.
Rather than go to Gaza, I plan to await the decision of the International Court of Justice on the charge that Israel is committing war crimes, including inflicting mass genocide in Gaza.

This article is relevant to the topic here. If JFK were president today, how would he react to the genocide by Israel being inflicted upon the Gazans? Would he, like President Biden, eagerly send vast armaments to Israel without authorization by Congress, including 2000-pound dumb bombs, to be used upon Gazan civilians, especially upon the hospitals, schools and refugee camps that contain women and children?
