Quote from Washington Times editorial board

"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Yes. There's a big difference between what the people in power want and what Israeli citizens want.

From Wikipedia but definitely accurate based on my historical reading: "Britain...set up Mandatory Palestine under...the League of Nations. Increased Jewish immigration [led to] conflict between Jews and Palestinian Arabs...

Go back and read the history of how, why and the circumstances under which Israel became a state. Start with Britain suggesting Palestine as the ideal place for Israel, despite conflicts that started with British support of Zionism during WWI.

There are agreements obligating the US to provide certain assistance, which is supposed to be limited to defense, which is an easily muddied term for Bibi. That's why under Biden there were constant diplomatic efforts, though ineffective. We don't run Israel. I don't know why people think we do.

No one could have stopped it. Bibi did and does what Bibi wants. I don't know why people don't recognize that.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officersโ€™ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as โ€˜violent perpetratorsโ€™

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

Nah. Time isn't particularly real. It's an estimated thing we created as a tool of measurement. I'm definitely not concerned about mortality. That's not age-reliant. I'm content with experiencing this life, even when its challenges are overwhelming. I'm never bored. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

If the program is about deporting people, why does ICE need so much warehousing?

Of course. Although Trump thinks he can go on a rampage and murder everyone in the WH and be immune from prosecution.

Can the President Be Indicted? A Long-Hidden Legal Memo Says Yes (Published 2017)

Your reminder that "It is proper, constitutional, and legal for a federal grand jury to indict a sitting president for serious criminal acts that are... contrary to, the presidentโ€™s official duties. In this country, no one... is above the law."

is it hypocritical to want to abolish the death penalty under a capitalist state but support the use of the death penalty in a socialist state in particular against capitalists?

I imagine it could be accomplished through the usual legal means if what he's done fits the criteria of existing crimes. Which I imagine a creative Attorney General could make happen.
