Today, at the newspaper owned by Trump’s biggest donor, billionaire Miriam Adelson

I'm sorry but you're past the 90 day return policy. Best I can do is a discount on the next president you purchase.
Buy two presidents, get one governor free!
Do I ever have a deal for you!
You don't have to worry about your vote counting ever again! (Because it won't)
What about Gazan interests? That’s been known to tilt an election or two.
Geez I wonder why genocide would tilt an election; it's not like it's the most horrible crime man has ever committed.
Well ok, but don't forget about Hawaiian pizza.
Never been proven, and I'd bet against it. People overlook that 2024 was a bad year for incumbents overall.
Agreed. People on online politics spaces tend to be very informed and assume the average person is similarly informed. From convos I've overheard or the amount of basic questions I've had to answer, I don't think the average American has even heard of Gaza/West Bank/Palestine/Hamas or Netanyahu and probably only know Israel because it's in the Bible.
How can a US president betray "Israelis". He's not their president, and America is not their mommies. We owe them exactly nothing. They should get off our tit, and we'd like all the nuclear materials they stole from us returned immediately.
Without the large amount of material and monetary support America provides to keep Israel's military the strongest in the region, they would get steamrolled by their neighbors. Probably not immediately, but it would be inevitable. Note that I'm not saying anything about whether this is right or wrong from any ethical point of view in any direction, simply that it absolutely would happen. For whatever reason it has consistently been the policy of the American government not to let this happen.
Israel's very existence as a modern state has been, shall we say, deeply unpopular with its Arab neighbors literally since day one.
the reason is that its free surveillance on the rest of the region. USA wants to keep an eye on countries they seem hostile and their interests (oil).
They also give our surveillance state their surveillance tech and cyberweapons they developed using Palestinians as guinea pigs. They host our police departments and teach them how to treat our citizenry like Palestinians as well.
"betrayed the Israelis"... Why does America owe Israel anything?
Completely unrelated but hindsight being 20/20 the warning signs were always there with moderated centralized forums like reddit.
I have my same reddit acct I've had for 15+ years. I'm banned from few aubreddits but my first and most memorable was from AskReddit for doxxing myself. To remove the ban they told me I had to draw a picture of some stupid shit like a giraffe in a Santa hat because it was Christmas or something. That was when I realized I don't want anything to do with these stupid ass moderators power tripping over a users engagement on a forum. Absolutely asinine.
yeah, I'd also ask: what more could we give them that hasn't been given already? also, it just illustrates how there's no offramp, no future peace with this government - Bibi knows only perpetual war will keep him in power, and maybe out of jail, so they're all out for it and thought trump would be dumb enough to go even further.
it's pretty mind boggling. he is really dumb tho so...maybe they think they can neg him into it? fuck....
I find myself asking this question more and more... But not just the US. How the fuck does Israel have so much power over so many countries. Like just look at the UK and how they're treating anyone even protesting for Palestine. It's insane how much power they have over so many countries... I just don't understand how.
The Holocaust was real, and it's important to not forget atrocities because as we can see we slip back into them very quickly.
My main issue with HOW the Holocaust lives in the modern western conscious is that it drowns out plenty of other genocides, from the Armenian genocide and the Bengal famine up to more recent ones in Gaza and the Congo. It's ridiculous to compare genocides as if they can be distilled to a number and compared, but the framing of the Holocaust as worse than the other genocides is so counterproductive to developing the empathy necessary to prevent this kind of thing in the future.
I mean the Holocaust literally happened and Europe and they're full of racism against romani and recent migrants. People shit on the USA for having a checkered past but at least we know about it. The number of brits who don't even know about their atrocities in Ireland, their backyard, is nuts. That's not even counting what happened in their colonies. I talked with a Belgian once who wasn't aware of how bad their colony in the Congo was.
The Epstein class. It wasn't just a sex ring.
Israel has nukes pointed at everyone in range, enemy and ally alike and will fire if there's a chance of Israel "falling."
All of the above.
And it's disappointing that the Dems are scared of doing without the election funding.
I get it. It's understandable that they don't trust voters to look past name recognition and ads. But... I still think it's a bad call. Being beholden to Israel isn't worth it, even if it makes us more likely to lose elections.
Call your Dems. Tell them you want transparency in funding, even if it is AIPAC.
Dems as a party could make a big show of rejecting AIPAC altogether and returning all the money. That'd buy them more publicity and goodwill than ads can buy. At least the next cycle.
Good question, but it's important to note that they only have as much power as they do because they're being allowed to do so by the US political establishment. It's not like Israel is writing US foreign policy in the Middle East from the ground up; US foreign policy just happens to be close enough to what Israel wants to do that that's what it looks like. That's the base on top of which the blackmail, money and religion are acting, as evidenced by how none of those factors would ever make America act like this with, say, China.
"I never got why everyone hated the mass-and-child-rapist, but now that he doesnt want to murder iranians anymore... I get it now."
Except it isn’t that he doesn’t want to murder iranians any more. It’s that he put himself in a lose-lose situation and he somehow doubled down and made the loss even worse.
Israelis will blow wherever the wind blows. Don't let them convince you that they're totally checking anti drumpf progressives in November when suddenly every other D is taking their money. They will lie, cheat, and steal to keep the US-Zion Siphon going.
That op-ed is from a different author, in a different newspaper, over a decade ago. Not sure what it proves other than "different Israelis have held contrasting political opinions at various points in time."
That's crazy! Next you'll try to tell us that there's a nation who has elected both Trump and Obama as president!
If that president could read he'd be very upset
Trump is a dumb mother fucker but Israel has their own dumb mother fucker. The fact that he feels “betrayed” is quite telling about who wanted this shit in the first place.
you betrayed us, the Israelis
Fucking lol
Lmao, even
Sheldon had a lifetime total donation figure of $273 million, while as of the publishing of their profile, Miriam had a total of $284 million.[6]
Miriam Adelson has been described by major news outlets, including Reuters and Bloomberg, as a significant financial supporter of pro-Israel political causes in the United States, contributing substantial funding to Republican-aligned political initiatives and organizations supporting U.S.–Israel relations.
Wow.
MAGA will absolutely not shut up about George Soros and Jewish conspiracies, but… this is okay?
It’s what’s so frustrating.
It seems the Democrat side absolutely revels in peeling each other apart (see: Lemmy), but US Republicans have horse blinders on. Their leaders can do no wrong; unity comes first. They will rail and rail and rail on something the Democrats are doing when their own party is already doing it too.
…I know why, or at least I think I do.
It all ties into “worship culture” and parasocial relationships like the evangelical church, talk radio, Tech Bros, and similar structures that seem to occur more in conservative zones. It’s a pseudo-religious “unity and belief” mindset.
…And Democrat’s indulgence in ragebait. And tribalism.
But it’s still crazy. Democrats will eat each other alive over some tiny detail or controversy, but even raging internet antisemites, who proudly follow Trump, will slide their eyes right over this little detail.
Well he betrayed Americans too and they still seem to love him.
I’d say most of us really don’t.
Trump< /could/ have been the best president of all time!? By those standards, where literally anything is possible, it could have been a dismembered hand on a tek deck. Just as likely.
Ffs. For him to have become the best President of all time. He'd have to become a fundamentally new person with almost exclusively opposite traits.
idgi OP, just post the raw🔗

Sorry man. But EVERYTHING I've seen about Netanyahu is just BLOODLUST! They totally leveled Gaza and the Palestine territories they occupied.
THIS IS NOT THE WAY!
I used to be a trump and Israel supporter, but my God! How much blood thirst is enough?
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
When the orange Cheeto lost to Biden and approved the execution of Pence, ("so what") that was the end. This worthless sore loser POS was hell bent on mass destruction.
No dipshit, you don't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, or to put your name or image on passports, park passes, or $250 bills. No, stupid, we don't want or need to see your ugly mug or name on the Kennedy center or federal buildings.
Just go quietly, into that dark, nameless abyss you crawled out from.
You have made America a much worse place, you divisive fuck head!
- damn proud Reagan Republican
You're just not too bright, so I'll bite my tongue. But Trump has nothing to do with Reagan. Full stop.
Total B.S. I was on topic. Trump and MAGA are not the philosophical offspring of Reagan. They are a mutation. They hijacked the party. Trump is the polar opposite of Reagan.
Reaganomics beat the shit out of whatever Carter was doing in the 70's; gas shortages with long lines, hyperinflation, mortgage rates went from 8.85% to 16.64% in 4 years. You may well not like Reaganomics, but it damn well saved the country from stagflation.
Reagan was a self deprecating optimist who believed that America is that shining city on a hill whose best days lie before her. Trump is a loud mouth, divisive, egotistical piece of shit, who is only out for himself and will persecute you to the end of the earth for saying anything bad about him. Their policies, politics, personalities, agendas, world view, are completely opposite.
It's really not difficult to disagree without being disagreeable. I think we all pretty much agree that we need to get this chubby, cheating, Cheeto in chief outta there. In the meantime, liberals and conservatives can have lively debates without making it personal.
Dude.
Reagan and Trump. No comparison.
I know.
I was there.
Hey brainiac!
When Reagan was lying in the hospital after someone tried to kill him, most visitors were turned away. One of his first visitors was his good friend, speaker of the house, Tip O'Neil.
Reagan lit up when here saw his friend. Tip O'Neil knelt down and prayed for his friend and kissed him on the forehead.
People who take politics personally, jab the other side, and question their motives are straight up wack, haters. That's not sane.
Well, the Lemmy folk were bound to be angry about the Regan pride.
But, any ally is an ally. Even old yuppies.
Just rewatch "They Live" and realize we are now living in the world where nothing changed and the wealthy (alien/human traitors/yuppies) won. That's why they are mad. Put the glasses on and get angry.
What a stupid fucking article written by a stupid piece of shit. Any and every president could have been the greatest if they made the right decisions.
Kick someone too many times on the playground, they cease caring what you want.
Trump is such a massive fucking idiot he really could have been the greatest president if the media wasn't up their own ass with hate
Todays headline: "No president can figure out socialized health care. Obama tried but failed"
Tomorrows headline: "It would take a great president to solve Americas Healthcare crisis"
etc...
The true source of the problem is Israeli zionists knowing that what they print in their country has actual influence over the policies and decisions of the leader of a foreign state. That just shouldn't matter to the USA president. Our leaders should be mindful of how our nation appears in the eyes of the world, but a USA leader should wipe their ass with direct confrontation like this when they refuse to do zionists' biddings.

No, he couldn't have
I realize I don't necessarily speak for all of my fellow Americans when I say this, but I could not possibly care less if Israelis feel betrayed by Trump. He's not your president, it's not your government, go fuck yourselves.
