Thank you for bringing this up, Dean. I hadn't heard about it. Okay, first of all, let me state that I am Jewish and I am absolutely appalled by Israel's behavior. Second, isn't this exactly the kind of thing that got Trump impeached? Third, how can Jews support someone who wants to turn the US into a Christian country? And last, for now, where is Merrick Garland? No, wait, there's one more thing: that thing with the pagers was a war crime. Netanyahu should be in the Hague. (I do not support Hezbollah or Hamas but I do believe in acting in a civilized manner and that and Israel's treatment of Gaza are not it.)
It seems that he received the money right after the election was held, making him president elect. I'm not sure what laws were violated, but then, he breaks the law every time he wakes up.
Nor is he president now. Private citizens are not allowed to conduct foreign policy activities and my understanding is that it is against the law. He has “hosted” victor orban, netanyahoo and who knows who else at mar-a-lardo. What’s going on there?
I wrote to my Democratic congresswoman about that and she blew me off. Maybe it's not her jurisdiction but Garland should certainly be doing something about it. It's a national security risk.
With my Jewish heritage, I am with you 100%. There are just too many things here that don't make sense. I don't understand Jews voting for trump any more than I understand blacks voting for him.
I also don’t understand women voting for him. Project 2025’s ultimate goal for women is to disenfranchise us, and confine us to the kitchen. We are also supposed to bear a child every year, and our mothers are supposed to care for them while we are having another baby. I had five pregnancies, and it took my body several years to undo the damage that pregnancy caused.
How could I have forgotten women?!?!? I've never been pregnant, but I am not surprised that it took several years to recover. I wonder how women who don't believe in birth control manage.
Paula, the answer to your question is: a very scary one. The thing I ended up wondering was if he is what we used to call "an oreo cookie". He's the same one who said some people need killing. IMO, he should possibly be the first of those??
Obviously he's very sick, Susan. What I don't understand is how he ended up being lieutenant governor. Did people actually know what he was like when they voted for him?
I have no idea, Paula. The thing I know is that if you are republican in a state like NC, you vote for republicans, no matter who they are. They do not seem to be interested in the truth. I saw coverage yesterday of what he was writing about being a "perv", being a black nazi, and some other disgusting things, on a porn website. None of that seems to matter.
All of you must realize that Marc Robinson has done just that. Started it last week with all his other BS. Backed by Trump. Oh and he said he’d own some too
Yep. He breached the Logan Act but like every other Act he’s breached in the last 10 years, there will be little that he will have to answer for when all is said and done. He’s still got too many friends in high places.
I have argued for months that Trump, maybe directly, maybe via Kushner, was colluding with Netanyahu to keep the war going thru the election. It damages Biden, especially in Michigan because Joe can't bring himself to cut the weapons pipeline that keeps Bibi in bombs. In spite of the fact that Bibi, charged war criminal, is using those bombs to murder Palestinian civilians both in Gaza and on the West Bank. We know that Bibi needs to keep the war going in order to stay out of prison. We know that Trump needs to win in November to stay out of prison. Their interests absolutely intersect. The cat almost came out of the bag when Jared, moron that he is, spoke publicly about wanting to build beachfront condos in Gaza.
There seems to be a collusion among Trump, Putin & Netanyahu to put Trump back in power & avoid prison for both Trump & Netanyahu & avoid The Hague for all 3. In addition to what was mentioned in this article, Trump sent Putin classified US information on Israeli military operations to Putin, which may have been used to help Hamas plan the attack against Israeli citizens on Putin's birthday, which Netanyahu, with foreknowledge of the event, inexplicably let happen, & (along with Hamas) insists on pursuing, with encouragement from Trump, despite the great dangers of a wider war (which they all actually seem to want) & the condemnation of the UN & the rest of the international community. This, along with the social unrest in the US to which all 3 of them have been contributing, benefits these sadonarcissistic psychopaths by keeping Netanyahu & Trump out of prison & all of them from The Hague trials, taking international attention away from Putin's brutal war on Ukraine, harming the Biden/Harris administration, & boosting Trump's chances, which affects the fortunes of all 3 (although it's hard to see how Israel could benefit more than they already have with the stalwart military support they have had with this administration as they've had with all US administrations, except with actual physical participation of the US by, for example, bombing Iran, which is what Netanyahu really wants).
Yes, I’ve argued the same thing. Bibi needs Trump - although they’ve had some disagreements. Bibi brought the most disreputable people into his government. Gvir who as a young man supported the assassination of Rabin for his part in the Oslo Accords. That paved the way for Bibi’s rise. He fed Hamas and sent his Mossad and IDF leaders to convince Egypt and Qatar to keep the spigot open when they were set to close it. Neither Bibi nor Hamas wanted a 2 state solution.
Biden and the next president face a big problem. Israel is a pin in the grenade of the Middle East. Do we let Iran (Persian) and its terrorists have a free hand? The Arab countries have had more than their fill of Iran and its terrorists. They want to align with the West. The US has a military weapons stockpile there. Can the shipping routes be kept open if Houthis have a free hand? And it has been known for decades that Israel has nuclear weapons although not publicly confirmed by Israel. I suspect that is a big reason Bibi sanctioned one of his cabinet ministers after he said in a radio interview that Gaza should be wiped off the face of the earth with nukes. (Not the only right winger who has made similar comments but the only one in the cabinet.)
Project 2025, MAGA's "Black Nazi", The Chosen One & the race to the extremist bottom:
The Republican Party as currently constituted is an irredeemably authoritarian & is "facing the reality that it has become so extreme it is hemorrhaging former supporters and mobilizing a range of critics”.
Very concerned about the terrorists Trump will set on innocent people and don't know why he hasn't been put on alert to stop hist HATE CRIMES...Springfield is outrageous...so upsetting...where is the GOVERNMENT STOPPING THIS
I've been complaining about this for years now. Trump is a national security threat & as such should be imprisoned (while awaiting trial, which would also be a good way to expedite the trials), as would happen to anyone else who had said & done what Trump has.
As horrible as it is, stopping it is cleaning up Trump and Vance's mess. These guys, and their minions, are so over the top disgusting that it gets harder and harder to imagine them winning.
The SAVE act is also an effort to disenfranchise woman, who will have difficulty providing documentation matching their birth certificate because of surname changes after marriage. It is just more Republican voter suppression because they can't win free and fair elections on policy. The current gender gap has women favoring Democrats by a historically wide margin, so as far as Republicans are concerned, the fewer woman that vote in red states, the better.
Are you saying that a married woman can't use a combination of marriage license and birth certificate to prove who they are? In many cases, like mine, my maiden name has become my middle name, and its on my driver's license that way.
If you have all the necessary documents such as those, you should be OK, but if you don't, you may be in trouble. It may be harder for women, compared to men, to maintain all the documents they need to qualify.
Even though I live in a red state, I have been registered to vote here for 16 years. I don't think I'm in a group that is vulnerable, but if need be I do have the necessary documents.
Key word in your post: SHOULD. maga lawyers will figure out something, and then something else, and again, something else to confuse and delay our election results. And they're trying to suppress female votes in BLUE states, although the more votes they can suppress, the better. Practice for their NAZI crackdown. So many triggers of the next Civil War; historians won't be able to identify just what started it!
Israel did an air strike on Lebanon this morning. Netanyahu, like Trump, a malignant narcissist is willing to sacrifice his own people by ignoring the warnings of the October attack to justify a genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza. Is now moving to take the West Bank and expanding the war into Lebanon. Biden needs to support the United States stop the spread of what may well become a global war - just as trump has been hinting at during his campaign with talk of nukes.
He will probably devastate that beautiful country too. Why isn’t he being stopped at least by the Arab countries or are they too drunk of their money to care?
This is really scary stuff, which I had not heard about. IMO the reason trump and Netanyahu support each other is because they are both trying to avoid prison time. My father's cousin was one of the founders of Israel, so I've always thought of it as a special place. No longer. Under Netanyahu is is no better than Russia, Iran or China. Very sad.
People don't realize that Adelson has made her money from her methadone program that's not at all a treatment program. It keeps heroin addicts addicted .Once they sign up their eligible to go to a crusty nasty dirty county building daily for a dose of her methadone. Then they're eligible for subsidized poverty housing and food stamps. This now makes their family in a poverty program that the counties make millions never ever rehabilitating anyone.Over years methadone causes organ failure to the point of the bowels and anus become protruding out of their body. It's a horrible way to die .Heroin isn't as bad . Their heroin addiction is no where as bad in their bodies than methadone. And that's how Adelson has made her money off American drug addicts , making Ng her the richest lady in earth. She's worse than the drug dealer ...because she's doing the same thing , conning people but legally they the govt programs . Just like Musk , these foreigners have no business profiting off of the American people . Her program is a shame
Trump pulled this crap in 2020 as well. And while we're on the subject, let's remember to keep pushing for an investigation into the $10 million Trump probably got from the Egyptian government in 2016. Trump won the election and was able to shut down an investigation that had commenced just before November 2016. The media let this go just as they are now treating Trump and netanyahu like they can do no wrong.
Netanyahu is a traitor, a fascist, a dictator and an enemy of peace, security and democracy. He should be tried for crimes against humanity at the Hague immediately..
How odd that part wasn't included in most media coverage. He is openly admitting he doesn't think he can defeat Harris and needs help from Israel and openly begs for it.
Thank you for bringing this up, Dean. I hadn't heard about it. Okay, first of all, let me state that I am Jewish and I am absolutely appalled by Israel's behavior.

(I do not support Hezbollah or Hamas but I do believe in acting in a civilized manner and that and Israel's treatment of Gaza are not it.)
It seems Trump already enjoys immunity for acts of treason.
It does seem that way but of course technically that horrible Supreme Court decision about immunity does not cover presidential candidates.
Trump also wasn't president in 2016 when he took that $10 million from Egypt.
It seems that he received the money right after the election was held, making him president elect. I'm not sure what laws were violated, but then, he breaks the law every time he wakes up.
The same law he was impeached for. You don't request or accept foreign meddling in our elections.
Nor is he president now. Private citizens are not allowed to conduct foreign policy activities and my understanding is that it is against the law. He has “hosted” victor orban, netanyahoo and who knows who else at mar-a-lardo. What’s going on there?
I wrote to my Democratic congresswoman about that and she blew me off. Maybe it's not her jurisdiction but Garland should certainly be doing something about it. It's a national security risk.
Yet you'd never know it from the behavior of our legal & judicial systems.
Exactly.
With my Jewish heritage, I am with you 100%. There are just too many things here that don't make sense. I don't understand Jews voting for trump any more than I understand blacks voting for him.
I also don’t understand women voting for him. Project 2025’s ultimate goal for women is to disenfranchise us, and confine us to the kitchen. We are also supposed to bear a child every year, and our mothers are supposed to care for them while we are having another baby. I had five pregnancies, and it took my body several years to undo the damage that pregnancy caused.
Agreed. These women who are anti-abortion. Can they not imagine a situation in which they'd need one? Would they rather die?
How could I have forgotten women?!?!? I've never been pregnant, but I am not surprised that it took several years to recover. I wonder how women who don't believe in birth control manage.
And imagine a Black man saying we should bring back slavery. What kind of a person does that?
Paula, the answer to your question is: a very scary one. The thing I ended up wondering was if he is what we used to call "an oreo cookie". He's the same one who said some people need killing. IMO, he should possibly be the first of those??

Unbelievable. I don't know what else to say.
All of you must realize that Marc Robinson has done just that. Started it last week with all his other BS. Backed by Trump. Oh and he said he’d own some too
One who is so repressed he hates everything that he was told he should hate as a young person still trying to figure his own life out, I’m guessing.
Sounds right.
Or women!
Too bad we can't impeach a Presidential candidate.
We don't need to. We have a justice system that's supposed to take care of these kinds of things. Or at least I thought we did.
VOTE
What she said 👆
Ditto.
👍👍
Yep. He breached the Logan Act but like every other Act he’s breached in the last 10 years, there will be little that he will have to answer for when all is said and done. He’s still got too many friends in high places.
For now. Let's see what happens.

Ah, yes! It looked up Putin's birthday and indeed, it IS October 7! Just a coincidence? or planned?
Coincidence doesn't exist.
Psychopathic sadonarcissists like Putin can't resist leaving a subtle marker that it was they who did this dastardly deed they're so proud of.

WOW. I hadn't thought of that! Are they really smart enough to plan for this? There really is no bottom to how low they'll go.
There is no bottom, they will just keep digging under the bar. One day the hole will cave in on them. It has to be soon to save democracy.
Are you saying that a married woman can't use a combination of marriage license and birth certificate to prove who they are? In many cases, like mine, my maiden name has become my middle name, and its on my driver's license that way.

I think that combination might be acceptable, but both would have to be original certified copies with the state seal, IIRC.

It's astounding who the pro-life party is willing to kill in the name of getting elected.
Think of all who've died already in order to keep him out of prison.

Add this to the long, long list of reasons why the US needs to pull support for Israel.
