    We shall see. He supports Israel just like the Biden Administration.

    Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them ... and others are content being forum mods.

    The gestures are purely performative so his base doesn't take his head off. It's not real. He's as much in on it as Bibi himself.

    Only two options here. The other is he's severely weak and incompetent and he's not fit to be President. It's certainly the first option but if you disagree, the second doesn't help your cause either.

    Put it this way, I'd be surprised if they didn't try.

    He stepped back from the election for a reason. I know he talked about brokering peace. Harris didn't talk much about the conflict over there and she should have as I said earlier. She did say she saw both sides and wanted to broker peace.

    It makes it hard when Netanyahu doesn't want that and won't listen. It makes it harder when it's your ally.

    Like, I said maybe Trump will get him to stop, at least until his term is over.

    How are Biden and Harris to the right of Reagan and both Bush imbeciles? They had red lines and threatened to pull funding.

    That got it done. Not too difficult unless you're compromised.

    Yeah, I wish the Biden Administration would have done more. Let Netanyahu know that, dude you are our ally but we can't condone the killing of innocents...and yeah threaten to pull funding and then do it.

    Biden came out and try to say it wasn't genocide, that it was Israel fighting back against Hamas who attacked them. They were, but the bombs that were killing Hamas was also killing innocents. That's the shitty thing about wars, it's not just soldiers that die. And, at some point if you don't recognize that you are continuing to kill innocents and aren't trying to minimize those deaths, there is another level of responsibility and blame to be had there. Netanyahu is crazy and doesn't care who he kills.

    Does Biden or Harris want that, no. Have they done enough to do what's right over there, no.

    I think you have to consider with whom you are dealing, too. Reagan and the Bushes weren't dealing with Netanyahu. Netanyahu's a lot like Trump.

    Unfortunately so.

    For one, trying desperately to hold on to power and doing what he must to succeed in that matter. Sounds familiar

    It sounds like even if they somehow bypassed the 2/3 vote, 3/4 of the states (38) would have to ratify it. They don't have that support.

    Nothing matters if we don't give people anything to vote for.

    People vote for him because they think he’s anti establishment. Usually people who feel all their problems are because of the damn gubment.

    Even though they drive a $80k truck but complain that eggs are too expensive.

    The fact that he says and does things that normal politicians would never do makes them like what he does even more.

    At least that’s my little understanding of MAGA
