Perpetrator of New Orleans attack named as Shamsud Din Jabbar. I fear for what will happen next. Trump will be loving it.

Loving 10 Americans being killed? Are you an idiot?

And why is your biggest concern how Trump will feel? Yikes!

How Trump feels is the least of my concerns. What he will incite as a response to this tragedy is what concerns me.

If you think Trump gives a shit about people being killed or dying you’re the idiot. He contributed to hundreds of thousands of excess American deaths during the pandemic due to his complete mismanagement of it.

Literally everything is a political opportunity for him and if you can’t see that you really haven’t been paying attention over the last ten years.

He’s posted the following on his wanky platform.

When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true.

The killer was born in the US, obviously.

This is the problem with society. People are too quick to see someone with differing opinions or politics as the enemy. When dialogue, debate and discussions stop that's when it's time to really worry.

As a lurker, i wouldn't worry about being blocked by her, she has a ridiculous amount of posts that are all utter dross.

 

[west didsblue]

Sure...

Yep.
Pretty sure.

The thing is, is that any worse than professing to be concerned about the slaughter of Palestinians while being complicit via inaction / tacit support?

It is if you aren't morally-damaged or fucking stupid, yeah.

I think being 'fucking stupid' would be falling for a difference in presentation as if it were a difference in policy.

Being fucking stupid would be pretending that either mattered to you other than as grist for a post.

There you go with the insults when you run out of reason. You know all your politicians are happy to sit back and see Palestinians butchered, but still need to pretend your cherished democrats are better. Cultish - and no, that's not a spelling mistake.

Not really sure what the beef is with yourself and Foggy, but regarding Palestine, Red or Blue in the Whitehouse is not going to make any difference.
In fact it may get worse with Trump, we just don’t know how that could be possible at the moment.
AIPAC seem to have the Israel lobby sown up.
You can’t ever see America speaking out against Israel’s actions.

That's exactly the point I'm making. Foggy has got all sweaty again because I dared imply both sides are indifferent.

Liberals in caring about tone above all else alert .... not supposed to say stuff like that out loud.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Biden's support for Israel was pavlovian. The senile old nepotist had a perverse and pathetic loyalty to Netanyahu. That weakness was used against the Palestinian people.

Trump is transactional in every interaction, on theoretical policy terms he is worse but in practical terms because of that need for devotion and platitudes, and his fickleness he may actually be better.
