Almost every statement and action the current and previous governments have made and taken in relation to the destruction of the Gaza Strip has been done in the most bleak, cynical bad faith, so I see no reason at all to assume any part of this was done in good faith.

The urgent priority at every stage has been: how can we 100% comply with American requests, without the libs catching on to what we’re doing? That includes two years of relentless screaming abuse and pretending to be terrified of protestors. These are just horrible people with no redeeming features.

Whoa! Didn’t expect to wake up to this news.
“A year into Trump’s term, voters say Biden was better.”
Trump’s net approval on the economy is now -18. That’s 26 points worse than this point in his first term and a brutal 53 points lower among independents.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
