Summary

Former CIA Director Leon Panetta warned that Trump’s return to the White House could embolden Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, giving him a "blank check" in the Middle East and increasing the risk of war with Iran.

Panetta expressed concern that Trump would support Netanyahu's aggressive stance against Iran without restraint, potentially worsening regional instability.

Panetta also predicted Trump might allow Russia to retain parts of Ukraine if he returns to office, though he doubted Trump’s negotiation skills.

He criticized Trump’s approach to foreign policy, suggesting Trump would be inclined to "capitulate" to authoritarian leaders, which may not sit well with some Republicans.

Harris abandoned queers, brown people, and the entire progressive side of the party and needed to pay the consequences.

No, the queer community, brown people, disabled people, etc will now pay the consequences. gg

This brown queer person says that Harris was the wrong person for the job, we have our own agency and don't need liberals to speak on our behalf. We're capable of speaking for ourselves. Many Brown queer people that I'm familiar with felt the same and voted accordingly

None of that changes whether you will be among the primary groups to pay the consequences, which is all I said.

Well, they know who you are, and you better believe that you are on several of their lists. So hopefully you will be able to take solace in the fact that you "took the high road" during the last real election this country will ever have, when you're huddled up in some white person's basement, hiding from the government.

So brave of you to try and come white knight for us as our protector. What would we do without white CIS people to guide us?

Is that what you took away from that comment?

Learn some fucking history, because it's repeating.

If you can't even do the most basic thing to help push the tiniest bit to prevent the worst from happening to you, why would anyone else care?
