    Psyops are when…

    The current “president” (a dead sack of rotting potatoes) signs perhaps the most unpopular law since fucking prohibition of alcohol

    Also when aforementioned potato sack continues to fund and arm a genocidal apartheid state despite every other nation on earth and like 80% of his own fucking party screaming “holy fuck, just stop!”

    And then the incoming, supposedly “worse of two evils” president pulls the rug out from under the dead sack, tells Israel to stop (the future is the future- for now he has ended the genocide), and listens to the millions of addicted social media Americans (his constituents who is obligated to listen to- something the sack of potatoes told us directly he would never do, btw. Literally he said he doesn’t care what polls say. Great fucking democracy!) managing to get the stupid app unbanned.

    Did these things not occur? Do you believe Genocide Joe is playing 6 dimensional chess only making us believe he is an inept, out of touch, genocidal 4000 year old lizard? Or is it more reasonable to believe that his insanely stupid, medically braindead ass thought doing a genocide and banning the most popular social media app would be something people simply ignored?

    His entire lifetime tells us he’s an arrogant asshole (no joke- probably worse than Trump), he’s bloodthirsty, he’s stupid (important to note), and he has been ignoring all sane advice from… everyone except, apparently, his failson and his wife for years now.

    That’s not a fucking psyop. That’s a failure on a scale beyond comprehension. That’s Joe “Genocide Joe” Biden’s legacy.

      Adelson paid $20 million in exchange for moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem last cycle. His window, a megadonor for settlement development in the West Bank donated 100m to Trump with her stated goals being Israeli annexation of the West Bank and a U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty in all the regions of the land. Trumps #1 donor above Musk.

      This was part of the deal that stopped the right wing factions in the Israeli govt from blocking the ceasefire. Are they the worse of two evils? Or is the fact that you’re aligned with them escaping you?

      Israeli media reports indicate that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered enticing proposals to Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, including plans to expand settlements in the West Bank and enhance security measures.

      According to Israeli reports, Netanyahu is attempting to persuade Ben-Gvir and Smotrich to back the agreement by highlighting two key points: first, that Trump’s presidency will bring significant benefits to “Israel”, and second, that “Israel” will be able to resume the war if needed, with US support.

      He said that his faction had demanded and “received a commitment” that the method of war would be completely changed.

      That included, said Smotrich, “through a gradual takeover of the entire Gaza Strip, the lifting of the restrictions imposed on us by the [US President Joe] Biden administration, and full control of the Strip, so that humanitarian aid will not reach Hamas as it has been until now.”

        I don’t know if this a lib with his mind melting over Trump or if the username should be glasGLOW, but either way, if your point is “Wow, but Trump is a sack of shit” then we are in agreement. While I can accept that Trump is a sack of shit who is also capable of stumbling, at times, into doing the right thing, it seems you are just hyper-fixating on the (yes, bad) things and ignoring or calling psyops not-bad things.

        It’s not November. Please for the love of whatever you find holy and good, stop trying to convince people that Biden wasn’t a full and total fuckup. Objectively a worse president than Trump… so far. When that changes, then I will also acknowledge that. Because I’m following facts.

        Btw, the suggestion that I am aligned with Trump is… wew. Hopefully I can petition for you to be my witness at a possible future trial for “traitors of America.” You can tell the tribunal how much I love Trump.

        By the way, if you think Biden wasn’t also just letting Israel do whatever the fuck they wanted, you’ve been sleeping for 15 months. Biden has been going “No, please, stop… no… please… I can’t do anything…” the whole fucking time. They’re both pieces of shit. The only difference is people demanded Biden force Israel to stop murdering and he refused. Trump made it stop for now. That’s just factual. Why he did it, what he’s going to do, well, we’ll see.

        I can guarantee one thing though. Biden sure as shit was going to concede to Israel on taking the West Bank and/or Gaza as well. And had Biden actually restrained Israel he (Kamala anyway) probably wouldn’t have lost. Had he actually cut them off in Nov 2023 and forced a ceasefire and peace over a year ago, well, it doesn’t matter because he didn’t. Everything Trump did term one, Biden continued.

        There’s no psyop happening. You also didn’t address the actual main point which is Biden’s rotting corpse listening Lex Luther over at the ADL and banning the #1 social media app in the US. What a magnificent fucking blunder that was. Also totally predictable that Trump, who can room read, would immediately jump on that freebie from Biden. But I guess Biden being a fullblown dipshit is a psyop. Fuck, I forgot!

          Not a lib, market-anarchist.

          You are putting a lot of effort into deflecting from Trump’s openly transactional politics. I never claimed Biden was not complicit or a failure. He absolutely is. However, it is nonsense to suggest that Trump’s actions were accidental steps toward doing the right thing. Or that objectively he was the worse choice for Palestine. His decisions were driven by donor influence and political deals that empower some of the most extreme factions in Israeli politics. If you are genuinely following facts, you should acknowledge that Trump did not stop the genocide out of any moral principle or giving the people what they want. He paused violence in a particular area to gain leverage for his donors and personal agenda. Trump is clearly worse because he deliberately emboldened far-right factions in Israel, openly traded policy for donor cash, and encouraged the annexation of Palestinian territories. Biden’s failures are rooted in negligence and complicity, but Trump’s actions were calculated steps that further the erasure of Palestine. Recognizing this does not absolve Biden but highlights how Trump actively made the situation worse - like everyone not victim to these psyops could see.

          Why did Adelson give Trump $100m if there was literally no difference? You lack nuance, blinded by propaganda.

                Despite your ostenibly pro-Falastini stance, you share this concept of “Trump exceptionalism”, where you assume that, compared to previous presidents, Trump is the worst in regards to foreign policy, especially on Falastin, and thus this justifies voting for literally anyone, even a ghoul like Biden that has sent arms to {the Zionist project}, and at the near end of his term, sent $8 billion weapon sales to a settler-colonial genocide state (Only to be beaten by his previous August 2024 deal.)

                Compared to what, there was an agreement that $3.8 billion annually for 2019 to 2028, by Trump’s admin

                (you may call me pro-Trump for this, but I’ll call you a Starmerite for that)

                Other administrations, while imperfect, at least made some effort to slow the process. American support through military aid, diplomatic shielding, and economic backing is not guaranteed and can shift with leadership and public pressure.

                As Biden did this, when he not only give the greenlight for the Gazan massacres but let {the Zionist project} do a land grab of Lebanon and then Syria (ok this is unsanctioned), beyond the Golan Heights.

                Now, for sure, Trump is indeed transactional, and I’d suppose a wild card. I’ll give you that. However, Biden, to me, is a captain that goes down with his ship, even if its a sinking shit ship

                Response to your other post

                The Trump administration actually broke with decades of U.S. policy by declaring that Israeli settlements in the West Bank were not inconsistent with international law, effectively endorsing Israeli claims to parts of the territory. Significantly reduced U.S. financial assistance to Palestinians, including ending funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moved its embassy there to undermine the Palestinians (Adelson spent $20m for this)

                You mean recognizing the territories also de jure. Regardless of whether it’s de jure, it’s de facto, due to {the zionist project} occupying and causing such mess.

                Now, as for UNRWA, yes, I do feel sad for sure it happened under Trump’s watch, Biden did refund in 2021, however, he reversed this shit and barred the funding in March 23 2024 (because one can claim “Hamas” and all will be understood), which will only open up in March 2025

                His window, a megadonor for settlement development in the West Bank donated 100m to Trump with her stated goals being Israeli annexation of the West Bank and a U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty in all the regions of the land. Trumps #1 donor above Musk.

                Well, that wasn’t good in 2016-2020, I’ll tell ye that.

                This was part of the deal that stopped the right wing factions in the Israeli govt from blocking the ceasefire. Are they the worse of two evils? Or is the fact that you’re aligned with them escaping you?

                (Eh, yob tvoyu mat, Starmerite)

                Trump Is Desperate for Miriam Adelson’s Cash. What Will She Expect in Return?

                Pro-Israel support I guess…

                Israeli settlers in West Bank see Trump win as chance to go further

                Go further? As if they’ve not burnt olive trees since Oct 2023 and have the support of the collaborator PA authority?

                Miriam Adelson reportedly pressured Trump to push Hamas into hostage deal

                nothing new

                Netanyahu compromises with Smotrich, Ben-Gvir to secure ceasefire deal

                Israeli media reports indicate that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered enticing proposals to Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, including plans to expand settlements in the West Bank and enhance security measures.

                According to Israeli reports, Netanyahu is attempting to persuade Ben-Gvir and Smotrich to back the agreement by highlighting two key points: first, that Trump’s presidency will bring significant benefits to “Israel”, and second, that “Israel” will be able to resume the war if needed, with US support.

                But ofc, these ‘moderate voices’ of Trump and Ben didn’t reach Gvir nor Smotrich

                Ben-Gvir emphasized that over the past year, he and his team successfully thwarted attempts to finalize a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas, arguing that such agreements pose both security and political risks to “Israel”.

                Smotrich articulated his definition of absolute victory as “the total destruction of Hamas, both militarily and civically, alongside the return of all kidnapped soldiers.” He emphasized, “I am stating this in a serious, behind-closed-doors dialogue, and I will not rest or remain calm until these objectives are fulfilled.”

                As much as Dumpf and Ben may feel satisfied they’ve closed a whirlpool in this compromise by focusing more on the West Bank, Smotrich and Gvir are not exactly happy, and they’re not alone in this.

                Trump’s pick for secretary of state says sanctions on violent settlers to be lifted. Do Trump’s picks Rubio, Huckabee signal his approval of West Bank annexation? - analysis

                Ofc, typical American shithead

                Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s far-right finance minister, has said that he was given assurances that the war on Gaza would continue and Israel would launch a “gradual takeover of the entire Gaza Strip”.

                He was given assurances, indeed, but instead he was also left blueballed by the fact that the ceasefire happened under Trump’s influence

                  1. Fuck Starmer

                  2. Don’t disagree with you hugely on most points, but you can always go further, and Trump has given every indication he plans to do that. Can’t compare weapon sales between administrations devoid of the context should be your first hint of bias.

                  3. Biden was a zionist at heart, but Kamala would’ve had internal polling to tell her to stay the course, she wasn’t brazenly immune from public pressure which would’ve provided at least had some safeguards. The mask-off wildcard is never gonna be the better option.

                    Elaborate? CBS and PBS are American news sites that I don’t know of any bias.

                    Devoid of the context? Is this the part where you tell me about the genocide war on Gaza?

                    1. Biden was a zionist at heart, but Kamala would’ve had internal polling to tell her to stay the course, she wasn’t brazenly immune from public pressure which would’ve provided at least had some safeguards. The mask-off wildcard is never gonna be the better option.

                    Really? Ofc, I should prolly be swallowing my regrets on the mask-off wildcard, but just a side note: Kamala doesn’t have that sort of internal polling, let alone the ability to read da room

                    She answers like one of those UKKK politicians that tries to dodge the TERF issue.

        you seem to be fixed on the fact that isreal is going to annex the gaza strip (and eventually the west bank, golan heights, and chunks of syria as well) as if that wasn’t already a going to happen under any president; empires expand and the american empire’s newest colonial settler project in isreal is exactly that.

          The idea that Israel’s annexation of Gaza, the West Bank, and beyond is inevitable under any U.S. president ignores how deeply American policy shapes these outcomes. Empires do not expand in isolation because they rely on enablers to fuel their ambitions. Trump gave Israel everything it needed to push expansion forward by recognizing contested territories and legitimizing land grabs. Other administrations, while imperfect, at least made some effort to slow the process. American support through military aid, diplomatic shielding, and economic backing is not guaranteed and can shift with leadership and public pressure. History proves that empires can be stopped when expansion becomes too costly. Calling annexation inevitable is a lazy shrug at injustice, not a serious analysis of power and its limits.
