Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

exactly how politicians should be replying.

Mamdani doesn't suit wealthy donors. Nor are his perfectly legitimate views on Israel welcome.

In order for the Democrats to stop being their worst enemy, they will need their own MAGA style grass roots uprising, obviously minus the poison.

The problem is the majority of the electorate are thick. Any change from the status quo of the establishment will be labelled communism, which will be lapped up by the window lickers.

The Democrats are still a right of centre of party, and historical glacial to change.

As Newsom said recently about Mamdani.

"Success leaves a clue."

He really did. It wasn't much because the US is so firmly and pathetically committed to Israel but he did at least try to help.

Any US President could stop Israel's slaughter, ethnic cleansing and stealing of other people's land in its tracks by simply cutting off the supply of arms to it, or even just threatening to. Biden didn't and neither did Trump. Although I suspect that it was mentioned as something that might happen after Israel thought that they could bomb Trump's buddies in Qatar and get away with it.

In fairness to Biden and the Democrats, Israel's antics happened during an election year and they have far, far, too much sway in US politics. So giving them a slap would have absolutely damaged their campaign. That still doesn't make their acquiescence correct however.

Those contracts probably existed before he took the presidency. He could have stopped them but the political blowback would have been catastrophic. Same for calling the genocide what it is, etc…

I never said otherwise.

Welcome all the long time lurkers who have only now decided to chime in when they see an opportunity to beat up Biden on Israel, while staying absolutely f*cking silent while Trump sh1ts all over Palestine, deliberately scuppering any deal Biden might have made when president by being in bed with Bibi, joked with Bibi about blowing up Palestinians with pagers and posts about their annihilation while putting up Trump hotels and making it a resort! 👋👋👋

The thing is Sand, plenty of posters here have called out genocide in Palestine and rightfully so, they also call out Russia committing genocide etc. Meanwhile somebody such as yourself gets excited by the concept of Ukraine submitting to a genocidal regime. You'd probably be praising Trump if he was more sympathetic towards Russia.…

So nope, you're a tad inconsistent on this topic. I assume you don't favour Putin being convicted, right?

'Bad for business': CEO suing Trump in Supreme Court rails against 'unlawful' policy

 "The government brags that it's $50 billion a month in proceeds. That's just not bearable. And they've also promised that this is permanent. So we either choose to pay a tax we believe is unlawful, or we challenge it and ask the court to review it and decide."Woldenberg went on to say that he and his legal team were pushing for a decision to come down shortly after Wednesday's oral arguments. His main argument is that in 2024, his tariff-related expenses were $0, but in 2025 they will be approximately $14 million — with that cost potentially doubling in 2026."We're behaving the way someone would behave if they had a sudden and irreversible expense of $14 million," he said.

At last Trump's lies on tariffs will be put in front of the Supreme Court and Trump's lies should be easily exposed, his defence thrown out and told to desist from any further tariffs.
