Too bad the Joe Biden Memorial pier has sunk, eh? Maybe they can just parachute in some more crates that was a success wasn't it? Except for the people they smashed.. fed at least 10 starving children with that

I think this is a spectacle similar to the Biden administration. The Biden team would try to create a false public appearance that they were pressuring Israel, while always giving Israel free rein.

Earlier this morning, Trump told Qatar that the US should take Gaza and make it into a "Freedom Zone".

Remember the air drops?

Remember the floating pier that couldn't withstand the Mediterranean, and was used as cover for a war crime?

I love that they just set up a new "foundation" in Switzerland, like, a week ago, that they're going to route all US "aid" through.

It's really fun watching what the executive branch can do when it's committed to grafting. Like there are literally no guardrails in place. It's hilarious.

It's wild watching the status quo go from "well, uh, you see [insert form of corruption] is actually fully legitimate and ok because you see these crime papers were rubber stamped in triplicate and everyone pinky promised to be a good boy, which you can see was notarized here, so it's all good and normal," to "well sure, president crimes is just stuffing money in a big cartoon money sack and bragging about how much crime he's doing, but you know there's no law that says the president can't do crimes so it's all good and normal."

Deeply unserious country innovates new ways to go even deeper and become even less serious.

This about face is very synchronized. I wonder what is going on behind the scenes.
