Ex-Trump Official Makes Stunning Revelation: Trump Talked About Executing People At Several WH Meetings

Reply in thread

You do realize that former president Trump was such a strong ally of Israel (since he let his zionist son-in-law run it) that they named a new settlement on stolen land after him, right? And that he's never shown the least bit of interest in helping the Palestinians, right? And that his mid-east peace plan was normalization of relations between other Middle East states and Israel, right? Do you think Trump is going to take a stand against Israel if he gets elected? Honestly, what do you expect for him to do to the Palestinians? Send better bombs to kill them with? Stop pressuring Israel for a ceasefire or aid deliveries so that more Palestinians die from war or starvation? Please do share how you think Trump will end the genocide.

The US healthcare system is broken...

It's actually a pretty clever scheme by drug companies to foist the cost of medicine development AND supplying uninsured people onto insurance companies (and from there, the cost is passed on to people with insurance). I just don't understand how it's legal, or why the insurance companies - who are supposed to have such great collective bargaining power - accept this status quo.

I have noticed that it only seems to happen with very expensive, very recently developed drugs which are not yet part of the insurance companies recommended therapies, and they typically require a prior authorization (special approval based on the doctor stating there is a medical necessity for this, and only this, drug).

MTV is turning 43

MTV was really great in the 80s. Sorry it went downhill so fast and so long... It's really insane that they can't just make a channel with all music videos. Call it OG MTV or something.

The truth...

Which resistance are we talking about? "The Resistance" movement in response to Trump's election in 2016? Or "the resistance" which tried to overthrow the election on January 6, 2021? Sorry for being myopically American, but being American, I assume that's what we're always talking about.

Over 50,000 Palestinian children require treatment for acute malnutrition, says UN agency

“Israelis” need to abolish the state and go back to their own countries.

What an absolutely delusional comment. I do not support the way Israel is conducting this war (which is a genocide). But the solution is not the genocide - even the self-committed genocide - of Israel.

The region is multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multi-cultural. This is a fact that needs to be accepted by both sides.

The morally correct path forward is a secular multiethnic state, or states, that integrates the residents of the area and provides everyone with full and equal rights of citizenship, including fundamental human rights, regardless of their national origin, ethnic heritage, or religion.

As long as people like you keep calling for ethnic cleansing and/or the genocidal abolishment of an entire nation of people based on their nationality - be it Palestinian or Israeli- the outcome will be two tribes locked into an eternal struggle for existence, doing their best to brutally eliminate their enemy while creating future generations of enemies.
