Obviously Netanyahu has always been a giant POS, but this is beyond the pale. Those of us that strongly support Israel are not going to help this garbage excuse of a human. The pitchforks should be out and on his doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Niederhut Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 What a relief! Talk about brilliant American diplomacy... 🙄 The U.S. Secretary of State has reassured us that Netanyahu will take steps to reduce further mass murders of Palestinian civilians while bombing what's left of Gaza back to the Stone Age. Bombs away, Bibi! Israel now living up to commitment to protect civilians, Blinken says By Michael Birnbaum December 1, 2023 DUBAI — Israel is living up to the commitments it made to protect civilians now that the assault has resumed, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday. Based on what he said he had seen so far of Israeli action, Blinken said that Israeli leaders appeared to be complying with what they agreed to during his visit to Israel on Thursday. “We saw Israel take steps immediately today to start to get information to people about where safe areas are, how they can get out of harm’s way,” Blinken told reporters after meetings in Dubai on the margins of a U.N. climate conference. “I saw the plans that Israel has, in a multiplicity of ways, to do everything possible to protect civilians, including making sure that they have the information they need, and that there are ways to accommodate them. And this is going to be very important going forward, and it’s something we’re going to be looking at very closely.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth tonight among the Maga crazies in the House. "Oh woe is us! We've been betrayed and stabbed in the back by our fellow spineless Republicans, the dirty low-down jelleyfish scoundrels!" Donald Trump wanted to keep this guy. Not only was Geprge Satos repudiated. The entire Republican House Leadership was repudiated. Johnson, Scalise, Stefanik and Emmer all voted not to expel Santos. Over 100 Republicans said, 'We don't care what you want. We're going to go our own way." The Leadership has lost control of its Conference. Chaos reigns in the House of Representatives tonight.

Steve Thomas Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 D.C. Judge Tanya Chutkan has denied a bid by former President Donald Trump to dismiss the 2020 election interference charges by "presidential immunity." Click on the word "denied" for her full 48 page page opinion. It's a doozy. Trump's not immune from civil lawsuits, now it's been ruled that he's not immune from criminal charges either. Chris Christie says Trump is in for some "legal medicine". I think it's castor oil. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the GOP is screwed now and they know it; with Santos gone and what's-his-face retiring, their "majority" is like, 2 lol They weren't going to accomplish anything anyway, but with that margin they won't even bother to try.

Trump got absolutely pummeled today in the courts. Brutally. Trump is well aware that the courts are standing in his way of changing the United States to a fascist form of government and becoming its dictator. So his War on America has largely been about trying to delegitimize the American system; the rule of law, not rule by one man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though maybe he's glad it worked out that way. The Israeli analyst nailed it. She said the attack was designed to start a war, and start a war it did.
