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!

Summary

Donald Trump stated that Palestinians displaced under his Gaza redevelopment plan would have no right of return, claiming they would have “much better housing” elsewhere in Egypt and Jordan.

Egypt and Jordan have rejected both Trump's plan and his requests to take in refugees from Gaza.

His remarks follow his controversial proposal to “buy and own” Gaza, which has been condemned by Palestinian leaders and the UN as a violation of international law.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu praised Trump’s plan as “revolutionary.”

Arab leaders have rejected it, while Germany’s Chancellor Scholz called it a “scandal” and an unacceptable population displacement.

How long we gonna keep doing this? There’s a real possibility that Leon and Trump rigged the election, and those voters didn’t affect the outcome anyway. When we’re facing the Handmaid’s Tale, ya’ll gonna asks the people fighting with you who they voted for in 2024, and tell them they can’t participate and fight with you, because they made a poor decision on a Tuesday? You can be angry about it, but the time to move on is approaching fast.

They helped saddle us with at least four years of this shit. They can deal with people calling them dumb for a little while. They clearly don't have a very good memory or they'd remember the shit show that was Trump's first term.

This sort of criticism isn't intended for those who've accepted they made a mistake and will choose differently in the future.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who sees this. I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I can see this"hurt the other" is a fool's sword that cuts both ways.

They ignore facts like every 3rd party vote could have gone to Harris and the cunt still would have lost.

The part that's shocking me the most is how he's honest about it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

That's the difference between Republicans and Democrats, Republicans will tell you to your face exactly what they are going to do. Democrats talk progressive, then make the same decisions their conservative counterparts do. None of this would have been possible without Biden/Harris providing endless money and weapons to level Gaza to begin with.
