> [@chappachula](#): > > Even the craziest Maga fanatics will finally have to admit that their Dear Leader is wrong. I took one for the team and looked at the Fox News comments. Not much positive over there. Of course there are still people saying “masterful gambit sir”, but I think they are the minority now. Here is a sample: > [@](#): > > Anyone want to spitball how much a rebuild of Gaza will cost? I voted for Trump to bring down the deficit … this won’t bring down the deficit. > > Wow, and we thought Biden was losing it. Trump sounds more nuts every day. > > “Make Gaza, Greenland, Canada & Panama Great Again”. What about America? This will come at a cost of US troops lives and tax payer dollars. We got lied to. > > Thank you, President Trump. You just put a target on the back of all American service members serving in the region. > > Everyday the stories get bigger. sooner or later his head is going to blow up. Maybe tomorrow we will buy China and on Friday buy Russia. With all the debt we have what a few more trillion? This is just going to hurt the USA. If everyone thinks we are wild and out of control no one will ever trust us agin. Also, just glanced at Breitbart 🤮 Doesn’t look like this is a winning move over there either. ---

> [@filmore](#): > > There was a shift in the Muslim voters away from Harris because of Biden’s position on the Gaza situation. I wonder how those voters are feeling now. I have no sympathy for those protestors. They caused far more harm than good for their cause. Many will suffer from their misguided zeal.

> [@Elmer\_J.Fudd](#): > > The theory being floated is that Trump is using this batshit crazy headline bait to distract from today’s news of the retaliatory tariffs China just slapped on the US. This sounds an awful lot like a variation of, “Trump doesn’t really mean what he says.” This theory might be correct, but, oh, boy, it might be wrong too. I’m leaning towards false at this point as I don’t believe Saudi Arabia would be too pleased with the United States taking over Palestine and removing all the Palestinians. This puts them in a bind since they allegedly hate Israel over their treatment of Palestinians. ---

Moreover, is there enough imitation crushed red velvet and cheap gold paint in the world to redecorate Gaza, let alone the West Bank, to Trump’s refined standard of bad taste décor? ---

Why? This is exactly the sort of thing they _want;_ your typical Trump voter is the sort who thinks Palestinian = Muslim = Satanist. Their reaction to the Palestinians being removed would probably be “a good start”. Well, except that they’d probably prefer the Palestinians to be all tortured to death rather than expelled, but Trump will no doubt get around to that. ---

No, no, they don’t CARE about Palestinians or Israelis or anyone else. They’d gladly cut foreign aid and remove US troops from any and all places outside the US because they’re just that stupid. ---

The way I remember my apocalyptic lore (and it has been a while since I darkened the doors of a church so correct me if I’m wrong) is that 2/3rds of the Jewish people would be killed on account of _following a false prophet who told them he was going to restore the Temple_.

While I don’t think highly of Netanyahu, I will give him the benefit of the doubt here because it looked to me like he was struggling to keep a straight face while Trump was blathering.

Stop being distracted by everything that leaves this guys mouth. Fight actual nominations, proposed laws, etc. You know, stuff that is about to be real. Do not let his brain farts distract you. Greenland, Panama, and Canada were excellent distractions from appointing a true cabinet of horrors. Now Gaza is distracting you from Musks boys taking over the treasury. Look! Squirrel! Is how you distract a dog, a whole nation should be harder than that.
