“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "
Called it. Good job to the idiots who voted for this or didn’t vote at all and allowed Trump to win. Nice work.
And now it causes more infighting and alienation to fester till next election too.
Lose-lose situation all around. It happened and we’re right to be angry at those simply too naive. But it’s also incomprehensible amount of money at play here doing its work. They won, they played the game we were too “righteous” to engage in.
The best con ever pulled was convince Democratic wings globally to be the “better one” while Nazis get to just bursh it off.
It is GG. I hope I get to live to see this get turned around, but honestly? Highly doubt it. We might see Nazis fuck up enough that they lose one cycle to then turn it around and have another Trump just mop the floor and do a great reset 3.0.
