Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Most likely finalizing the condo deal in Gaza. Crooked Don

Should be easy now that Biden's helped level Gaza

Don’t think it would get worse with Donnie in charge?

Asking for bribes, no doubt ...

From the article:

The 1799 Logan Act permits Americans outside the government to meet foreign officials but it also limits their ability to negotiate U.S. disputes with foreign governments.

It was a rare case of Trump allies traveling abroad as part of an organized delegation to meet foreign officials. It took place amid strains between Israel and the Biden administration about Israel's conduct of the war in Gaza.

Seems like it could fit the dispute criteria. They are clearly meeting with Israel in preparation for being president.

He’s doing Nixon 68 and Reagan 80 all over again.

Established Republican foreign policy playbook

Netanyahu playing along as he always has. Only confirms he is on the Putin, Xi, Trump side of the line.

Same tax plan and stance on regulations too.

It's 2016 all over again too. And if anyone thinks Israel won't covertly attack their "closest ally" to undermine its democracy, all I have to say is LOL.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

You mean attack them again, right? Israel has already directly attacked the US during the Six-Day War, bombing the USS Liberty which was watching events off the coast of Gaza. They jammed the Liberty’s calls for help, and the US Secretary of Defense even went so far as to call off the jets sent to defend the Liberty, leaving the US sailors to die. The president covered it up, keeping the story out of the papers so the American people wouldn’t be outraged.

The Israeli government will absolutely do whatever it takes to make sure their interests are served, and anyone who gets in their way will die.

Until openly committing treason like this gets one of these Republicans executed they'll keep doing it
