Trump picked Republican senator Marco Rubio, a staunch supporter of Israel for Secretary of State. Rubio said earlier this year he would not call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and that he believed Israel should destroy "every element" of Hamas. "These people are vicious animals," he added. Trump also nominated Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and staunch pro-Israel conservative who backs Israeli occupation of the West Bank and has called a two state solution in Palestine "unworkable," as the next ambassador to Israel read more
In the wake of President-elect Donald Trump's sweeping election night victory, a rising set of Democratic voters are having a difficult time accepting the results. So much so, that some election conversations have devolved into a set of extreme beliefs called "BlueAnon." Like it's right-wing counterpart, QAnon, the far-left's BlueAnon is also rooted in denialism at all costs. "Trump cheated" began to trend on X after the race was called in his favor, according to Gordon Crovitz, CEO of the ratings transparency system NewsGuard. read more

Qatar has asked Hamas's political leaders to leave the Gulf country, after more than a year of trying to leverage their presence to broker a cease-fire with Israel that would halt the war in Gaza and free the hostages held by the group.

So what are you saying CENSORED?? That Sarah McBride shouldn't have ran for Congress??
#5 | Posted by LauraMohr
McBride had every right to run for Congress and the folks in that district had every right to vote for Sarah. However, I don't think this conflict is helping the Dems in any way, shape, or form.
I've said the below before and I'll copy/paste it again:
Dems really need to up their game on throwing people under the bus if they want to regain and retain power. Maybe look to Bill Clinton for some pointers.
Why Bill Clinton really signed DOMA
The way Bernie Sanders tells it, the former president is guilty of political expediency.

I thought you were alluding to Russia's threats to nuke members of NATO, including UK.

Russia has changed their nuclear policy. This brinkmanship might not work out.

Mandate, shmandate. All the GOP cares about is power. They disregard every political norm to achieve it. And then they suppress the vote to keep it.

I have no idea what you could be referring to. This conduct by Trump is shocking and completely unexepected.
