    On the incredibly infinitesimally insignificantly microscopically small chance that Trump somehow accidentally but actually stops the genocide, I won’t bother looking that gift horse in the mouth. I’ll just be thankful and move on to the litany of other problems.

    Are they still pretending they don’t support him? I thought for sure they’d all have given that ruse up the moment he won.

    Well hey, one of the reasons one might stop a genocide is because it’s been accomplished. So they may end up being technically correct on the first part.

    So they’re admitting that Trump, a private citizen, interfered with US foreign policy, which is yet another crime.

    I would like to remind people this conflict is decades and decades old, it’s not a democrat thing, or republican thing. America has supported this genocide for over 50 years. The democrats and republicans of now will surely, if unfortunately, continue.

      While true, I’m over 50 and have never seen such mechanized destruction in my lifetime. And yes, now I’m woke to the fact that my country has supported this shit the whole time.

    …are we counting “no Palestinians left” as the end of the genocide? 😬

    One can hope.

    Other than hoping, I am donating a few bucks to the most pro-Palestinian politicians.

    I have been looking for protests but they are hard to learn about.

    Suppose trump was actually the one to negotiate a cease fire with Palestinians and Isreal. That can only be considered in hindsight and would not change the harm reduction calculation. Notice how no one was arguing that trump would actually be the one to end the fighting in Gaza?

    Right.

        Sorry but I dont sugar coat the word to holdback progress, development or accomplishment.

          I don’t think ypu using offensive language casually is a sign of progress.

          Sometimes adults censor themselves out if consideration for others. Perhaps ypu should consider acting like a mature adult.

            Or try and get off your fucking pedistal and grow a pair?

            I’d be the first person to give you the shirt iff my backnor part of my meal. And because of my language you assume Im a POS.

              You think intentionally offending others out of a sense of entitlement is being an adult? Most adults understand basic manners which you are objecting to so you can hopefully understand why others aren’t receptive to your view here.

                  We aren’t talking about “getting upset over nothing”. We are talking about your choice to intentionally be rude. Grown adults behave civilly around others and those that cannot do so or choose to not do so are aberrant.

                  You aren’t in a position to tell anyone to grow up given what you have said here, boy.

        Real talk, how is stupid any less ableist than retard? Same meaning, same origin. It’s like telling people to stop calling black people n-words, call them coons instead. Pretty silly imo!
