This is what I suspected of Trump’s ceasefire as well.

Massive wars will break out over climate refugees invading the least affected areas. Billions will die and those left will be trying desperately to rebuild society. Nuclear contamination will be a real problem after nukes are used by middle East countries completely out of fresh water that Western countries are hoarding. Corporations will be outlawed after Nestle attempted to create a water monopoly and massive revolt saw their board murdered in public by a mob. Humanity will be 1/10th the population of today.

I fucking hate Trumps facial expressions so goddamn much. Like nails on a chalk board.

Gerrymandering doesn’t directly affect presidential races, but it does affect them. States that were gerrymandered to Republican super majorities created rules to make voting harder for lots of democratic areas. They limited ballot access and purged voter roles in blue areas. It also affects the electoral college. As part of all the other tactics, it all made a difference.

Trump won by 1.5% and the media acts like it was a Reagan-esque 1980 sweep. They had to gerrymander for decades and launch a massive misinformation campaign to get this outcome too. Plus Biden had to be one step into dementia and punt to unpopular Kamala (who lost her 2020 primary attempt) last minute to help this small victory. Yet everyone is acting like this is some massive referendum and America fully swung to the right. These sycophantic tech bros are showing their bellies awful quick.

Funny how when you rich pricks take everything and leave the rest scraping by, the rest of us stop supporting your broken system. It’s almost like no one wants to live to serve entitled narcissists. Maybe if you want your capitalist country to succeed, you should focus on raising the standard of living for ALL who contribute to it?

AIPAC paid good money for U.S. cover against consequence dammit.

It’s not RFK’s fault. It’s the brain worm at the wheel.

AIPAC knows how to play the American lobby. Funny part is, the Netanyahu is getting the guy he really wanted now. Lets see how well this “ceasefire” turns out for the people of Gaza long run.

Netanyahu knows Trump is going to be better for HIS Israeli right wing party. The cease-fire was going to happen either way, because his Israeli party is paying too much of an international and domestic cost at this point. Netanyahu waited to be sure to give Trump the win if possible because he knows Trump will capitulate to his party. It was going to go this way after the election either way. It was self-serving. Wait and see what happens after the “cease fire.” This was politics between like minded parties, not compassion for the people of Gaza.

That’s fair. I didn’t know enough about the regime to make that leap.
