    You just couldnt let a palestinian on stage last august could you Dems. You couldnt even just give lip service to the fact that after 4 years of Biden, people were struggling.

      Imagine being one of those people that couldn’t see this coming a mile off. And instead of acknowledging their total lack of situational awareness, they try to blame someone else for not making things even more obvious than they were.

      “Why couldn’t they just put a sign on that door saying “pull”? I stood there for an hour, pushing on it, and nothing happened. Whoever is in charge of doors in this country, needs to be fired.”

      I have said this several times on several instances, in several ways: when we cling to the past as anything other than a data point for formulating a (new or adjusted) plan of action, that past becomes a heavy burden that hinders progress. Take the lesson, not the loss.

      Do you do anything on this platform except blame the current state of the world on the people who aren’t doing it?

          Trump’s malice is only temporary in that particular meat sack. But it’s plainly visible. Snarling wolves and smiling foxes are equally avoidable.

          You still think things are going back to normal. This would have been adorable 6 months ago

            He’s mortal, old, and his admin is incompetent. Fascist regimes collapse under their own weight, even if not stopped by external forces.

              His admin is systematically root and branch destroying all limits, legal and conventional, usually placed on American governments. They are ticking off more and more of their stated aims every week. What part of this do you think is incompetence?

    Btw, saying “from the river to the sea” is now illegal in Australia, will be interesting to see if it’s equally illegal for zionists and Palestine supporters.

    I remember an interview with Sam Harris on Trump where he said he was critical of many things Trump did, but he definitely deserved the Nobel peace prize for the Gaza cease fire (and release of Israeli prisoners). It really doesn’t take much these days…
