    I wish some of us would think about what it would be liked to have our homes blown up and told we're being moved from Oregon to Kentucky whether we like it or not and think how that would feel. And then getting told that Kentucky's new governor is fascist Erdogan.

    Good lord. Every time I think I've read it all, someone shocks me.

    For gosh sakes, Turkey didn't even want the Kurds that lived there or along the border, and people think they're going to take Palestinians????

    If they did, it would involve money from U.S. taxpayers, and I guarantee you the techbros aren't giving up money, so maybe Trump means they'll be living in camps like the Turks did with the Armenians.

    I'm actually angry. This was so tone deaf and people are going to die and I've got this guy saying "I was just spitballing."

    I get what you're saying, but it is just a discussion on an internet forum. It's an opportunity to help educate those who haven't been exposed to another perspective.

    I appreciate you taking the time to do so. I learned from the conversation and I wasn't even involved.

    Thank you.

    It makes me disgusted to be an American. We can't even have healthcare for our people. Instead we're forced to give our money for apartheid and genocide while the most evil son of a bitch smirks as he dog walks the President in front of cameras.

    Utterly gross on every level. And we're complicit.

    Well this isn't threatening at all....

    https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/...olden-pager-apparent-reference-lebanon-attack

    Netanyahu was grinning ear to ear as Trump justifed ethnic cleansing with his vision of condos and strip malls in Gaza. And the talk of dismantling bombs...boots on the ground in Gaza "disguised" as a cleanup crew? What happens when the resilient families already resettled in Northern Gaza don't want to move to fucking Egypt? Do we kill them?

    Trump is going to displace millions of Palestinians and raze the Gaza strip to put in a resort for tourists...and you thought he was going do something good for Palestine.

    That's blatantly untrue. I always said "if."

    Trump is every bit as evil, if not more so. He's certainly far more dangerous.

    All we had to do was get enough people to vote against him. But Democrats were too corrupt to set themselves significantly apart. Too corrupt to make sure the population is educated enough to see it.

    Voters wanted a change so they voted that way. You should be upset at the feckless and spineless Democratic party for losing to a convicted felon again. Not the voters.

    I didn't vote for him so take your ire elsewhere.

    Their response to what's happening now makes so many hate them even more which I thought was impossible. What a worthless bunch of goons.

    They have got a long way to go before earning my vote again.

    I haven't even seen their responses. Mostly just Bernie and AOC advocating for what we really need and against the evil POS we have in power now.

    They have no response. Bernie and AOC are among a handful of decent ones while the majority of the party treat them like they're crazy. The rest of the party is just sitting back because they think they don't have to do anything until the next election. We just keep ping ponging between awful parties every couple of years.

    That's what I was afraid of. They are just happy to point at how shitty Trump is and use him as the excuse to be not much better.

    First day in office, Pam Bondi threatened criminal prosecution of private businesses that have diversity programs.

    Trump overturned a 60 year old executive order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating based on race, religion or national origin. He has made it clear civil rights of people of color, women and LGBT people are not only no longer enforced but are literally criminalized. He made hatred of trans people central to his campaign and presidency.

    But he established a commission to investigate discrimination against Christians and named far right televangelist kook Paula White to lead it. Like Trump, White has been married three times and commit adultery and fraud.

    This is not a joke. How long will it be before she declared making states recognize marriage equality persecutes Christians?
