I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.

What kind of idiot would accept a pager from Israel? Doesn't he remember when they did that terrorist attack with them?

[–] glitch1985 6 points 2 hours ago

That's what the article is about. He congratulated them on a good operation.

"I'll page you when you get back..."

Jesus Christ. That was a terrorist attack.

In September '24, Mossad rigged thousands of Hezbollah pagers with explosives, detonating them across Lebanon and Syria. The result? 37 dead, including an 8-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy, 3,000+ maimed—faces melted, eyes gouged, hands vaporized. Civilians bled out in streets as Netanyahu preened about "technological superiority." The UN called it a war crime, but here’s Bibi, giggling as he gifts Trump the golden detonator plaque—“Press with both hands,” the same message that flashed before body parts rained down.

Trump’s response? “That was a great operation”—because nothing tickles his depravity like dead Arab children. Swap the pager for a scalp necklace and the message is identical: Look what we butchered for you. Their mutual adoration is a hate-braid of imperialism: Netanyahu greenlights slaughter, Trump rubber-stamps it, and both jackals feed on the carcasses.

Lebanon reels from 200+ children killed by Israeli strikes since September, but who cares? The "greatest ally" plaque now hangs in Mar-a-Lago’s Hall of Ghouls, between Melania’s migraine pills and Ivanka’s child separation policy blueprints.

These aren’t statesmen. They’re arsonists trading matches in a burning orphanage.

This is such a weird timeline

[–] GeneralEmergency 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Just remember this was the "good option"

If the trolls from 3 months ago are to be believed, this is nothing compared to what Kamala would've done! /s

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 hours ago

This is just comic-book-level villain shit.

[–] BradleyUffner 35 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

All other points aside, this is just tacky as all shit.

[–] athairmor 34 points 9 hours ago

Netanyahu knows this and knows that Trump eats this kind of tacky cruel shit up.

Damn, who could've seen this coming. One hand washes the other.

The people who voted for Trump because Harris wasn't vocal enough on Israel should get this article tattooed on their fucking skin.

The people who voted for Trump because Harris wasn't vocal enough on Israel should get this article tattooed on their fucking skin.

And to clarify, a protest non-vote or vote for third-party are votes for Trump

Please be a bomb pager, please be a bomb pager, please be a bomb pager.

If it was, and it did, I can't imagine what would happen next. The world is weird enough as it is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Bibi: Obviously I killed the guy, that was a Nazi salute and we all know it.

[–] Plum 13 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

President JD Pee Pants would become the Supreme Leader. And then resign a month later, take his toys, and go home. Leaving us with Superfundamentalist Mike Johnson in charge. It's dicks all the way down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 minutes ago

You have to wonder about something though.

In the 90s, the Republicans were very angry about Clinton getting a blowjob in the oval office.

Would the 2025 Republicans also impeach someone for fucking a couch in the Oval Office?

This assumes Super Nintendo Musk doesn't just decide to slide into the Big Chair and bypass the legal levers.

[–] SlopppyEngineer 4 points 9 hours ago

The world is only beginning to get weird. This is going to be more like the collapse of an empire weird and it's just started.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver 1 points 10 hours ago

Doesn't matter. That human freak show has to go.

[–] kikutwo -1 points 10 hours ago

Whatever happened, it would be a huge improvement.

Mini nuke inside so if trump turn on israel Boom! Would not surprise me at all

[–] [email protected] 34 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Wouldn’t surprise me if the pager was a listening device.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 hours ago

Given what it represents, can we also imagine it could be a bomb?

to the golf carts in Trumps courses in the early 90s, starting off this whole thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Why would they bug some random failed business man that everyone hated?

[–] Num10ck 1 points 27 minutes ago

because the carts were used by plenty of politicians and powerful people

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 hours ago

Now we’re officially at the “Yeah, that may as well happen” -stage.

Just like in 2020 when Trump was tweeting bizarre things every day. At some point, you became desensitized to all the madness and just went “Yeah, that might as well happen. Why not.”
