Dummkopf Trumpf will apoogize to Bibi by putting his face on either the US passport, the $250 bill, or a coin.

I'm not yet sure I'd go that far. But it does seem to me that PM Netanyahu has a certain, ummm, effect and control over Pres Trump. For better or worse. imo, for worse.

This past week, when I had heard that PM Netanyah was going to visit the White House to speak with Pres Trump, my first thought was along the lines of ... OK, we are going into another escalation cycle.

That thought does not appear to be wrong.

Not exactly a hard questions or decision.

If you think only Hair Fuhrer is "influenced" by Bibi and Co, explain why Biden didn't shove aid for Gaza down Israel's throat.

But, again, nothing gets fixed in this country without Campaign Finance reform.

And I'm just saying that there's more than enough disdain to go around.
Democrats get no break from me on this genocide.

@#17 ... And I'm just saying that there's more than enough disdain to go around. ...

Thanks for that clarification.

But, yeah, current Democrats get no break from the genocide. I do not disagree with their prior support.

Maybe that is why support for Israel has been dropping of late?

Oops, I could have worded that [a lot] better.

Let me try again ...

I do not disagree with statements that Democrats have supported Israel in the past.
