Add getting the Trump bucks during the initial COVID waves and I don’t know what else to say than he’s materially the best president weve had in my life.

I mean it really shows how useless and evil the Democrats are more than anything. It’s fucking wild

(Obviously it’s not over yet, not getting ahead of myself, but this is the most progress we’ve seen by a long shot)

edit: folks it should be obvious i dont think he is doing this as a good thing or that it’s not going to be a double edged sword. i’m just saying look at biden and compare.

He won’t do it, but imagine he did universal healthcare labeled like “Patriot Care” or some shit, he’d go down in the history books as probably the best president ever, just for that alone. The bar is in the bedrock.

I’m very curious how he reacts once he starts receiving praise from the left online if the ceasefire is a success.

No idea what that looks like with him

If he achieves peace in Palestine, it may lead to the death of dems as a political force. I foresee a potential major realignment of us politics.

I think it could be as big as 9/11 in terms of politics in the US.

Fixing the hole in the TriCare (military insurance) budget by letting civilians sign up for it, instituting a public option.

If he does, I bet he’ll pile on the culture war bullshit. So free health care but your national insurance card has gender assigned at birth, racial makeup and political leanings. And it’s administered by palantir

I’m a big fan of the current push to convince him that it would really piss the left off if he built high speed rail and called it “Trump Train.”

Like nothing would own the libs and commies harder than high speed Trump Train we would all be soooooooo mad!!!

if only they’d make a nonwoke train then all American patriots would ride it, for generations, and chant Trump’s name

I would hate having to see Trump’s name all over every time I get on the anti-woke Trump Train that gets me from Denver to Las Vegas in 3 hours. I would cry liberal tears the entire trip 😭

The real cherry on the cake is that it’s part of his weird isolationist shit

That money isn’t going to go to anything good, but it’s removal from ’s pocket is still somehow a net benefit

World is a fuck

I’m waffling between “This is like praising Reagan for negotiating the hostage release in Iran” and “Well it’s not like the Democrats were actually trying.” Happy to end up being wrong but I’m thinking we should wait for the other shoe to drop before we draw any conclusions.

“This is like praising Reagan for negotiating the hostage release in Iran”

That would only make sense if Trump was working behind the scenes to sabotage Democrat led negotiations until he got elected. Even if he was keen on doing that, he didn’t have to because there were no actual negotiations.

But the motives here are very different. With Iran both parties wanted to bring back the American hostages (obviously), and Reagan only sabotaged it for personal gain. But in this case Biden didn’t want a deal and Trump is only indirectly causing a deal because of his isolationism.

At the risk of going a little conspiracy-brained, I think attributing this to isolationism is a facile reading. I don’t think Trump actively colluded with anyone but it’s reasonable to assume that Netanyahu did what he could to drag out the negotiations knowing that a ceasefire would be good for the dems politically but, even so, they wouldn’t try to apply any leverage to get an agreement in place. Bibi needed the ceasefire because the genocide is destroying Israel’s economy, but he also needs Hamas because they’re how he holds onto power. So while the agreement looks like a loss for Israel and like Trump had to twist their arm, it’s still a win for Netanyahu. Now they can quietly annex the West Bank once the world stops paying attention and go back to the slow genocide in Gaza, which the Trump admin won’t do anything to prevent.

yeah i mostly agree with this. it is partially what i’m talking about. bibi saw trump as ok here’s someone i can reasonably say “he talked me into it” to, whereas with biden and harris, who kept shouting for israel to kill all Palestinians, there isn’t a way to not look weak.

this is why the democrats suck so fucking bad

I dislike focusing on individual imho. He does not matter. The colonization will not stop and if the financials want to cut their losses for now, it’s only because they can’t physically continue without creating unrest in the imperial core. Their lies are too apparent now.

Beside, with the americans in syria they will want a piece of that cake i bet. Scums

i mean in this case the difference between biden as an individual and trump are pretty night and day. i get that in the grand scheme, but i’m talking specifically under a microscope here, which should be pretty obvious considering i’m about to hand it to trump

Does the ceasefire discussed even have good terms? I haven’t looked into it.

I don’t expect the Zionists to honor it anyway, though, but hope it works.
