Trump shocked Netanyahu with post declaring Lebanon strikes "prohibited"

We could. But he would do it anyway.

I don't exactly mind the concept of communication via social media. In theory it's a good way to reach your citizens by using the platforms that they stay connected to. The real problem is that everyone, from government officials to the media to the general populace, treats social media as a big gray area for some reason. The lack of consensus on whether to take it seriously allows people like Trump to play it both ways. They can say whatever they want and treat their statements as either "official" or "internet talk" interchangeably depending on their audience and how much pushback they're getting. This allows them to set a direction without ever truly committing. So in effect, what *should* be a good method of communicating policy widely and quickly has become a tool used for the express purpose of pushing boundaries as far as they will bend. Ideally congress would codify some set of policies to remove the ambiguity, but I'm not holding my breath for that to happen anytime soon.

i was listening to some former maga politician, and he was sayiing how trump is very easily influenced. and anytime he says something it's cause the last person he talked to made the same talking points

First up, it is widely known that the Obama Twitter account is managed by a team, while Trump’s is obviously coming from only the man himself. Second, and this is legit controversial… only one of the Twitter accounts has **class**.

The USA is like WWE at present. All we need is someone good enough like President Camacho to put his trust on people smarter to do the right thing.

Tuesday. Taco Tuesday, you know.

Just a feelin i got, like something's about to happen, but i don't know what

Trump always chickens out

Trump Always Chickens Out

It's not even a "political" phrase. Wall Street meme'd this for Trump. That's how predictable he is.

The less tradeable meme is TOFU. Trump Often Fucks Up.

He’s fucked either way but at this point he can and probably will just say any disclosures from the Epstein info is fake news and fabrications and his diehards will believe him. Though I suspect Russia has much more on him than Epstein secrets btw.

A man cannot serve two masters. This will be interesting. I'll make popcorn.

I wouldn't be in the least surprised, but do we have any proof of this or is it all speculation?   Note that American presidents happily backed Israel long before Epstein.  

Does it even matter anymore? So much has already come out and his supporters just bury their heads in the sand and republicans in congress refuse to impeach him. Putin could release a video of Trump violently raping a 10 year old and his supporters would just say it's fake AI c***.

Idk. Netanyahu said that Trump answered to him on social media. Trump is probably pissed as he'll about that.

TACO implies rational thinking

If a truce depends on Netanyahu not attacking (especially if his trial may happen), I wouldn’t bet on peace lol.

US needs a proper multiparty system, not the easy to buy off 2 party autocracy they are running at the moment.  Not sure what will fix Israel at the moment, except a South African style pressure campaign to the the apartheid. 

> two nations at least 3

Three. Putin is still in power because he was able to game the system swapping between president and prime minister until he no longer needed to pretend

It cannot be delayed further than October this year though.

Israel: “We will bomb the rubble into dust.”

Military is already gearing up for Cuba. There's a very narrow time frame for congress to assert some authority here before it's too late.

Netanyahu has been in power for a long time but it’s been by the skin of his teeth since at least 2019. There is no strongman regime backing him up, it’s a paper thin coalition that he was holding together with promises of safety that have been proven false. There are plenty of equally morally bankrupt factions within the government, but it’s not a monolith that’s going to replace him with an exact copy.

Yes, very similar to Republicans.

It is a democracy with a reasonably healthy opposition and extremely strong freedom of the press.

It doesn’t even slow them down. It’s the “cellphone looked like a gun” excuse.

The Lebanese aren't going to be shocked. Israel has continued to bomb Lebanon continuously since the last war ended in 2024.

Carrion fly faster than any messenger bird.

Look, Trump has completely lost the plot. This will be another humiliating moment for him and probably seal the deal on an attempt to oust him. What will be interesting is seeing Peter Thiel and the like moving to move Vance into position. At that point, either the vise on authoritarianism tightens, or it all falls apart and they devour themselves. Trump may be in on it but if he's he's not, I think we'll see a compete meltdown as his handlers let him completely off the leash. He'll still blame Biden, somehow, I'm sure. On the other end, the Left is still rudderless and unless someone seizes the conch shell, the more moderate side (pro-corporate side) takes off and we're all screwed, but in the slightly longer run.

"She was very mature for a 12 year old" -Republicans Edit: lotta pedo defenders on today. Sit and spin, weirdos.

Literally. Files have already shown Trump’s involvement to an extent that makes it almost impossible to deny he himself participated in any child raping, and people have done nothing about it.

The sites tend to go after listnook for allowing the content to stay up.

Israel is the world’s sixth largest arms exporter, ahead of UK. Even Israel’s GDP per capita is higher than UK. Germany just paid Israel 5bn Euro to get Arrow-3 missile protection systems.  It’s a remarkably resilient and advanced economy. 

But Kamala would have been worse

Israel is integral to American tech. Everything from iPhones to massive ML systems have Israeli tech in it. Cutting them off could massively backfire.
