Carmen Mercedes Lineberger (62) faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison if convicted of the charges.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

What the heck does Benjamin Netanyahu care about the hardworking American taxpayer who suffers without universal healthcare while Israelis enjoy world class medical treatment without onerous paperwork, awful outcomes, or bankruptcy from astronomically-high bills?

The price of irrational Muslim hatred is way too high for Americans.

Soon the US will be $100 billion in the hole:

Cost of Iran War for Israel's Behalf to the American Taxpayer

In 2024, the Democrats already paid the price of ignoring the antiwar bloc of the American left.

Bibi called them "the useful idiots of Iran."

On Monday 4 Nov 2024, the Palestinian death count in Gaza at the hands of the IDF was least 43,374 human beings, mostly women and children; another 102,261 were wounded or maimed.

In response, on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024 (US election day), roughly 5.7 million progressive voters did not cast a ballot out of disgust and stayed home. Those same Samaritans voted in peacetime for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Tuesday 3 Nov 2020.

"Carlson said he believed both the US and Israel were failing their own citizens.

"I would like a democracy in the United States like I'd like one in Israel.

Israel is not a democracy; the United States apparently is not a democracy either. Our government keeps doing things that people don't want, so that's not democracy; it's the opposite of democracy."

"Of course, Israel is not a democracy in any sense. There are millions of people who live under Israeli control who cannot vote," he told Segal.

"These places which Israel has controlled since 1967 have people living in them who have no control over the government that controls their lives, which is true, it's not a democracy."

Israel "is probably the most violent country in the world," he said.

When Segal said Israel was acting in self-defense, Carlson responded that "no country has boasted more about killing its political opponents than Israel."

"Israel makes a public relations campaign out of boasting about killing its opponents."

Carlson also accused Trump of yielding to Netanyahu over Iran.

"Why did Trump let a nation of 9 million people drag a nation of 350 million people into a war that would change its future, and that is bad for the United States?"

"It's wrong that I'm paying for Israel's actions," he said. "There's no reason the United States should be sending any money at all to Israel and particularly not to its military."

The Israeli prime minister pushed the US president, he said, "who turned out to be far weaker than I understood, into a war that hurts the United States."

Mother Tucker, Ex-Cult Member!

I'm SO happy for him!

Perhaps there's hope for our Resident Cultists, too... ok, who am I kidding?

"Netanyahu is highly skeptical about the negotiations and wants to resume the war to further degrade Iran's military capabilities and weaken the regime by destroying its critical infrastructure.

Trump also said Netanyahu "will do whatever I want him to do" on Iran, though he also said they had a good relationship. The two leaders have had temporary disagreements on Iran before but have remained closely coordinated throughout the war."

--

"Trump told Netanyahu that the mediators were working on a "letter of intent" that both the U.S. and Iran would sign to formally end the war and launch a 30-day period of negotiations on issues like Iran's nuclear program and opening of the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. source briefed on the call said.

Two Israeli sources said the two leaders were in disagreement about the way forward, while the U.S. source briefed on the call said "Bibi's hair was on fire after the call."

The source said Israel's ambassador to Washington had informed U.S. lawmakers that Netanyahu was concerned about the call. An embassy spokesperson denied that characterization and said "the ambassador does not comment on private conversations."

Two sources noted that Netanyahu has been highly worried at previous stages of the negotiations, even as deals failed to materialize.

"Bibi is always concerned," one source said."

We're going to end up with Trump's Excellent Adventure costing lives and taxpayer money for nothing other than a worse situation than before he tore up the last Agreement.

Iran remarked early on that getting Ownership of the Straits was more important to them than nukes. And they are now headed towards getting both.
