Trump negotiates with terrorists

Wednesday, March 05, 2025

The Trump administration has engaged in direct talks with Hamas. The US special envoy for hostage affairs, Adam Boehler, has met with senior Hamas officials in Qatar several times, two sources familiar with the matter told The Jerusalem Post. These meetings, first reported by Barak Ravid on Axios, mark the first known direct dialogue between Hamas and the US administration since the US designated Hamas as a terrorist organization in 1997.

"Tell us again how Biden negotiated with Putin by releasing a terrorist arms dealer for a basketball player."

Pretty standard prisoner exchange ---- that perpetuated the hegemony that persisted for 80 years, until Trump decided America doesn't need Colonel Jessep standing on that walk after all.

That's how.

Do you understand?

I don't think you can.

#9 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-03-06 05:44 PM

I understand Biden negotiated with terrorists (your words) and you have no issue with it.

#10 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2025-03-06 05:49 PM

Thanks for confirming you don't understand it.

#11 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-03-06 05:58 PM

You didn't ask if I had any issues with it.

You asked someone up explain it to you.

Do you want me to try again?

#12 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-03-06 05:59 PM

And if Jack Nicholson can't explain it to you, you are beyond help.

Is your purpose here on the DR to illustrate how ignorant and angry Trump supporters are?

Didn't you use to actually contribute to conversation?

Or have you always been nothing more than a pathetic troll?

It's been so long since you posted something worth reading, I'm not too sure why you came back to the DR after rage quitting over members being banned for spreading lies and misinformation.

Is Putin a terrorist? Is the person Biden released to him after negotiations a terrorist?

Do you ever have anything but lies and coverups?

#15 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2025-03-06 08:45 PM

Is Putin a terrorist? I ... Is Putin a terrorist? ...

Maybe, maybe not.

You decide ...

Putin has repeatedly used terror attacks to tighten his grip on Russia (March 2024)

Maybe, maybe not.

I want to hear Trump's critics decide, since Biden negotiated with him.

Is Putin a terrorist?

Interesting question.

Based on the definition of the word, I guess he is.

But, I had never thought of him as a terrorist any more than I considered BushJr a terrorist for invading Iraq.

When I think of a terrorist, I think of school shooters.

Is the person Biden released to him after negotiations a terrorist?

The arms dealer? He was arrested in 2008. Any services he provided terrorists was quickly filled by someone else.

Doesn't really matter. America is the number 1 arms dealer in the world. - www.statista.com

Are you suffering from ivermectin poisoning?

Nothing you wrote merited posting or receiving a response to.

You've got nothing. It's starting to become apparent you never have.

@#17 ... I want to hear Trump's critics decide, since Biden negotiated with him. ...

Fmr Pres Biden may have negotiated with Pres Putin.

But, I have to ask, did fmr Pres Biden seem to surrender to Pres Putin, as Pres Trump appears to be doing?

#19 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-03-06 09:45 PM

Trump didn't just Surrender.

He blew Putin for good measure.

#20 | Posted by ClownShack at 2025-03-06 09:46 PM

@#18 ... Nothing you wrote merited posting or receiving a response to.

You've got nothing. ...

That current alias has got nothing?

Yeah, I do not disagree. It seems to live (and possibly spawned others) to disrupt, not to contribute.

But I replied because I thought context may be important to counter its apparent disruption attempts.

"I understand Biden negotiated with terrorists (your words) and you have no issue with it."

Still trying to figure this out...
Is this so you can have no issue with Trump negotiating with Hamas?
It's like some kind of transference process?
"Since Biden did X, it's okay when Trump does Y."

I just want to make sure that's the point you are trying to make.

Because the other point you are making is a different one.

In that point, Trump is negotiating with one more terrorist than Biden did

As both have been negotiating with Putin.

So, I guess you're right about that, You don't care which terrorists Trump negotiates with, but we do, which means we got trolled when Trump did that, and congratulations on winning this exciting internet argument!

"So, I guess you're right about that"

I know.

#23 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2025-03-07 07:01 AM

Again, congratulations.

You trolled us, vicariously, through Trump's rapprochement with Hamas.

It gave your life meaning for a few brief moments.

That's what Trump does for you, that no other person has ever done.

He makes you feel like you're accomplishing something with your life.
