Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

  • People applying to live or work in the US will now be screened for "anti-Americanism," including having their social media checked. Immigration officers are to look at whether applicants have had "any involvement in anti-American or terrorist organizations," or whether there is any "evidence of antisemitic activity."
  • "America's benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies. USCIS is committed to implementing policies and procedures that root out anti-Americanism and supporting the enforcement of rigorous screening and vetting measures to the fullest extent possible." Source Two: USCIS Policy.

    The State Department, led by the vapid Marco Rubio, has revoked more than 6,000 student visas this year. In June, Marco Rubella ordered embassies and consulates to vet student visa applicants for "hostile attitudes towards our citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles." After destroying USAID, this 'empty suit' is now driving foreign students and their tuition money to excellent universities in Europe and Canada. In 2024, nearly 5,000 individuals officially renounced their US citizenship according to the IRS. Under the Dummkopf Trumpf regime, expect more voluntary in the future. Remarkable that immigrants are applying to live in a violent police state that crams Christianity down people's throats in a system with an astronomical disparity between the wealthiest and the poorest, no universal health care, and loose gun control laws.

    Somehow we've come full circle, plagued by George Wallace segregationists, Joseph McCarthy witch-hunts, and Father Coughlin broadcasts.

    Blame Israel.

    They corrupted our Worldview with their Swinish Conceits about being "Chosen".

    They reinforce our already well established view of ourselves as Exceptional and Indispensable.

    It's Sick Actually.

    But we were already infected with a Superior and Imperialist Attitude and History long before the State of Israel was Spawned by World War and State Murders.

    Guilt about European Crimes Spawned a Terrorist Entity that we continue to Support at great Expense both Moral and Financial.

    When stuck in a Hole,..Stop Digging.

    Cut the "Chosen" Off.

    No Aid, No Weapons, General Sanctions like those imposed on Iraq. By the Clinton administration.

    That's what I'm talking About.

    Anti-Americanism, like when Texas wanted to succeed from the nation because Obama won his second term?

    Or, Americanism, as in, you express your freedom of speech which is protected by the first amendment?

    It's unfortunate Conservatives hate America so much.

    It's unfortunate Conservatives handed the nation over to a petulant spoiled brat who has delusional visions of himself as emperor of America.

    Russia is being sanctioned.

    Russia receives no funds or weapons from the US.

    I agree with both actions.

    Israel deserves, at the very least, the same treatment.

    But that would be "Anti-Semetic".

    Lol.

    Russia is being sanctioned.

    By who?

    Not by Trump's administration since taking office in January.

    Israel is a Parasitic Squatter Colony.

    They use the Guilt about Genocide committed by Europeans on Jews in Europe to receive Carte Blanche for a Colonial War of Annihilation on Muslims in Palestine who had No Hand in the Murders in Europe.

    Why should innocent People in Palestine Die because they are inconvenient to the "Chosen"?

    Because the Talmud says Jews are "Special", Smarter,More Enterprising, More Loved by GOD?

    Has anyone really considered how Batshit Crazy and Bloodthirsty these MotherFuckers Sound?

    Hamas Seems Reasonable by Comparison.

    They're not.

    There's no good guy in this scenario.

    Just a bunch on innocent Palestinians trapped between Hamas and IDF.

    One side wants them dead and the other side wants them as martyrs.

    The Houthis are The Shit.

    Lions in Human Form.

    They Alone are Unafraid.

    Israel has rich powerful suppliers of everything they need.

    Ansar Allah is fighting what Saint Augustine called a "Just War".

    And they aren't killing very many people doing it.

    But they Sure Are costing Israel and it's Backers Big Money and disrupting their Efforts as much as they Can.

    Israel has been terrible in their revenge on Palestine... prolly done maybe 10 percent, if that, of the damage done by Russia while invading THEIR neighbor with a civilian targeted terror warfare tactics, including kidnapping thousands of children, and killing many more.

    Well, not including the damage Russia has done to itself, then it's no really barely comparable except in the degree of depravity.

    Here's what we didn't hear from diplomats during these historical attempts at peace-making and negotiations:

    1922 Irish independence talks: "There will be no role for the IRA in any future government."

    1968 Paris Peace talks: "There will be no role for the Viet Cong in any future government."

    1990 Suid-Afrika post-apartheid negotiations: "There will be no role for the ANC in any future government."

    But here's what we do hear from diplomats today:

    2025 Israeli-Palestinian negotiations: "There will be no role for Hamas in any future government."
