You're getting there, Gaza is being blockaded by Israel and therefore Gaza is under military occupation by Israel. So Israel controls everything that goes in and out of Gaza. Wherever the money comes from (money is fungible), by Israel letting the money into Gaza (and they do so by allowing Qatari's into Gaza with suitcases of money), they are in fact funding Hamas. If Israel wanted to stop funding Ham shocked

as they would stop letting money into Gaza to give to Hamas. But they won't because they like the chaos. A unified West Bank and Gaza under PA leadership would force Israel to seriously negotiate a 2 state solution. They don't want that.

So, back to where we started. Netanyahu funded the terror organization that killed all those people on Oct. 7th. So, by your definition Netanyahu is a Hamas lover, terrorist and wants to kill Jews. And since you support Hamas that makes you equally responsible for all those dead on Oct. 7th.

You're a pawn in this and Israel's quest to acquire more land. The problem is you're really too stupid to realize it.

Hunter biden trial. Revolver he bought was produced in court yesterday. After 7 years.
Trial heard how Hunter walked in. bought a gun. Filled the forms, bought some bullets and left.
After 11 days tjhe gun was found in a public dustbin. Of course it was traced to him.
Who throws away a gun without getting arrested ? He should have reported it stolen, What if it was used to commit a crime. Besides the point FBi never hauled his ass to jail, maybe because is white?
Why it stinks even more. FBI determined there were traces of cocaine in the gun holster. Another crime buried. Besides lying he was not a drug user or addict. the holster tested positive.
Instead the Gestapo went to the gun seller demanding the documents he signed. The seller refused because he didn't trust them.
The matter was buried. Until the laptop.
The FBI were sent the laptop by the repair shop owner.
They sat on it for over a year.
But the owner had imaged and retained a copy, which he passed on to Giuliani and leak published by NYpost. The repair shop had clearly indicated there was some shitty stuff in it to the FBI. But they buried it, till he got pissed off and contacted Giuliani.
Thats when the gun story long forgotten by FBI came up.
If it was not for the laptop being leaked, there would be no gun crime and no reputable evidence of Biden family corruption,

I also remember FBi has Anthony Weiners laptop which contained over 340,000 of Hillary Clinton and Huma Abefin emails. Gives credence to rumors of it containing gory abominable stuff enough to make investigators puke.

If Bibi didn't allow UNHRWA food and financial aid access to Gaza, they will call it suffocation and genocide.
Now he's allowing both, they say he's trying to prolong the war so he can continue killing people.
2-state, 1-state. I only agree with you that the Palestinian authority needs to be restored and that's why Hamas needs to be eliminated first.

You're arguing the paradigm Israel has set up as if there are no other options. The Palestinian Authority could have taken control over Gaza. But of course that would be too much like a contiguous government of, yup, a state, giving credence to the 2 state argument.
And you do know that Bibi has been trying to stop UNRHWA from providing any aid to gaza at all.

You are also arguing with the wrong person. Those are things that Netanyahu has said.

And the minute the war ends, Netanyahu will lose power and most likely face a trial. He has every incentive to continue to fight.

He allowed Money Qatar was sending to Palestine in. Who is the government of Palestine, Hamas right? Europe and the US send Money to UNWRA, Hamas is the government UNWRA answers to and all that money is controlled by HAMAS. You have no understanding of the situation, it is just your hatred for jews and love for terrorists that you are displaying here.

You maga cultists are quite the dumbest people alive. That's why no one takes any of you seriously because you don't have any landing.

Pretending to love jews, fake man, but you are filled with "Jews are taking over america" conspiracy hate while you support a convicted felon who calls Jews "dead in the brain". Netanyahu is a criminal, so why does that hurt you considering you don't even support Jews? You Maga cult nut.

---Donald Trump's 'Unblemished' Primary Record is Now Very Blemished---

A second Donald Trump-backed contender has lost a Republican candidacy race, overturning the former president's self-proclaimed "very unblemished" record in such matters. It could also be another sign that the former president's overall influence on Republican voters is waning, although wider polling varies.

Mendham Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner, who was endorsed by Trump for the Senate during his campaign rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on May 11, was defeated by real estate developer Curtis Bashaw by seven points (45.6 percent to 38.6), with most of the votes reported, according to The Associated Press.

At the rally, Trump suggested his record for supporting political candidates is "very unblemished" while urging people to "go out and vote" for Glassner.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-backed-candidate-defeated-republican-senate-primary-new-jersey

One of the most underated reporting right now is the sheer amount and droves of real voters peeling away from convicted felon trump.

This election will be historic and will Mark the worst loss of any republican presidential candidate.

The maga cult and the dumbest RNC in a generation are being haughty and stubborn as ever. They are relying on their own alternative facts and disputing or outright shunning the negative influence of a felon on the electorate.

Just take a look at all the loses of maga candidates in the primaries, but they are too stubborn to see their own Downfall in real time.

I can't wait.

Looking just at contests deemed competitive by the NBC News political unit, based on political dynamics of those races and ad spending, 46 of Trump’s candidates won, and 33 lost. Of the 33 who lost, 32 of them echoed Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

It's wild Byron Donalds seems he's the appropriate messenger to about talking about Black families during Jim Crow.

He's a convicted felon, married to a white woman. Nothing wrong with either per se, but to be the advocate for Black families during the Jim crow era? He would have been hung 2x over. Just look at what happened to Emmett Till just for looking at a white woman. Just a total lack of any self awareness.

You have a problem he married a white woman... You are not racist.

You are gay, you can't have a family, he is more qualified to talk about family 200 times than you. He is a felon? You worship George Floyd.

What he said is fact, it has nothing to do with Jim Crow or Till.

Even when Biden wins this election, this election cycle would have taken its toll on the US. Trump has effectively destroyed Trust in the Media, US law enforcement, the Presidency, and now the courts. Look at what is going on with Trump's trials. The Supreme Court, a Federal Judge (Judge Cannon) and a State Supreme court (Georgia Supreme Court) have all put their hands on the scales of justice to delay his trials. That Alito was flying flags supporting Jan 6th is nuts on its own. In another time he would resign. At the minimum, he would recuse himself from any Trump case. Neither has happened.

Trump with the support of a sycophantic Republican party is destroying the appendages of what makes the US the US. The court is the most worrisome one. I don't believe the Dems are strong enough to counter it. Worrisome days ahead.

Another advocate for Black families. Bemeruca, the father of 4 children conceived out of Wedlock while living in Nigeria who doesn't have custody of those kids.

You are what it takes to be a Black Republican.
1.) No understanding of US history; you've never lived in the US, not studied US history. So, I'm sure you don't even understand Jim Crow.
2.) A lack of self awareness or Dementia about your life. A man who is married to a white woman or who has a Baby mamma will be the spokesman for Black Families? Don't you think you should have a black family before being it's spokesperson?

Disagree. Trump has shown a new path that works and is effective. It's all about normalization and once something has been normalized, it's hard to put it back in the tube.

A lot of the progress that has been made has been turned back. From Affirmative Action to reproductive rights. Where people were uncomfortable expressing their racism, they've gained a new found comfort. This movement was a progression of the Tea Party. And just because Trump may lose, the corrosiveness of the politics he practiced won't be gone.

The Dems may win the next election but they have to push the envelope. Republicans are continuously working the officials, pushing the envelope. So much so, it worked on Merrick Garland. He was hesitant on Trump's cases and look where they are now. While in his desire to seem less partisan, he allowed a Special Prosecutor to indict the President's son on a weak case that no one really gets indicted for. Look, on Hunter's case, they gave the gun store immunity to testify against Hunter. The gun store was forging gun applications. Think about it, what should be the Fed. justice's priority there? To go after a drug user who had a gun fort 10 days who didn't use it for anything nefarious or a Gun store who was forging gun Sale forms to maybe sell guns to people who couldn't have them?

It's not even about going lower. It's using the power they have. Congress controls the contours of the Supreme Court. The only thing the Constitution requires is a Supreme Court, how it operates, it's size, what cases it takes, is controlled by Congress. How many hearings have the Democratically controlled Senate had on it? 0. They are so weak, that Leonard Leo, a private citizen can tell them to pound sand when they send hima subpoena.

If Trump loses it will be proven his path is ineffective to win a national election. But he still raised a ton of money. So, his path is effective at raising money and making yourself rich. So, being most Republicans are grifters (Ted Cruz, a US senator has a full time podcast), they care more about money and maintain power than policy and winning elections outside of their own.

The supreme court will sort itself out in due time. They can choose to drag themselves in the mud and be ridiculed and sidelined or serve justice. Their choice.

So, dump wins in the money stakes but not in policies? I can gladly live with that since their money does not pass legislation. Besides, they do illegal stuff to get that money, and the law would be on their case to help them spend it eventually, so what exactly is it that they gain in the end?

I do not accept that "Congress controls the contours of the Supreme Court .... what cases it takes, is controlled by Congress". You are going to need to educate me how Congress controls the supreme court please, so I can understand why Congress did not dictate re Roe v Wade.

And the lies and misinformation work. Which is going to be harder to get a handle on unless Dems and the Media understand they just can't hope people figure it out. You see the lies posted even on this thread time in and time out.

Here is a good point.

Nearly three in five Americans wrongly believe the US is in an economic recession, and the majority blame the Biden administration, according to a Harris poll conducted exclusively for the Guardian. The survey found persistent pessimism about the economy as election day draws closer.

The poll highlighted many misconceptions people have about the economy, including:

55% believe the economy is shrinking, and 56% think the US is experiencing a recession, though the broadest measure of the economy, gross domestic product (GDP), has been growing.
49% believe the S&P 500 stock market index is down for the year, though the index went up about 24% in 2023 and is up more than 12% this year.
49% believe that unemployment is at a 50-year high, though the unemployment rate has been under 4%, a near 50-year low.
