Trump 2025

Quote:

Plaintiffs' lawyers argued that Trump's order violates their clients' constitutional rights to equal protection of laws and to be free from cruel and unusual punishment.

“There is no way to keep these women safe outside of a women's prison.” Levi said. “We are just asking this court to maintain the status quo.”

I guess that's supposed to scandalize everybody?

It's remarkable what different worlds we live in

The stupidest thing about taking over Gaza is, ain't no one going to provide money while the US is there. The place wasn't much when it was in one piece. I'ts a lot of rubble.

Trumps farts and thinks he has a good idea.

What's hilarious is you think it's Trump's idea. He meets with Netanyahu and comes out of the meeting with this idea? Golly gee, where do you think he got it from. They don't give a rat's ass about rebuilding Gaza what Israel wants is a constant never-ending United states presence of our military in Gaza. Duh duh and double duh.

Quote:

Jared Kushner has praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property” and suggested Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the strip.

The former property dealer, married to Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, made the comments in an interview at Harvard University on 15 February.

Quote:

Kushner also said he thinks Israel should move civilians from Gaza to the Negev desert in southern Israel.

He said that if he were in charge of Israel his number one priority would be getting civilians out of the southern city of Rafah, and that “with diplomacy” it could be possible to get them into Egypt.

“But in addition to that, I would just bulldoze something in the Negev, I would try to move people in there,” he said. “I think that’s a better option, so you can go in and finish the job.”


He reiterated the point a little later, saying: “I do think right now opening up the Negev, creating a secure area there, moving the civilians out, and then going in and finishing the job would be the right move.”

The suggestion drew a startled response from Masoud. “Is that something that they’re talking about in Israel?” Masoud asked. “I mean, that’s the first I’ve really heard of somebody, aside from President Sisi [Egypt’s leader], suggesting that Gazans trying to flee the fighting could take refuge in the Negev. Are people in Israel seriously talking about that possibility?”

“I don’t know,” Kushner replied, shrugging his shoulders.

I’m all for evaluating each expenditure individually. That’s why I said it’s possible we keep funding USAID. I’ve brought this up a dozen times over the years here. If we really just wanted to use our money to save lives, how about this? Just take all the public money used to fund football stadium construction and put it into anti-malarial initiatives in Africa. Can save HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of lives.

Quote:

But back to your point, and mine! There is a NEVER ENDING need for funds to support a gazillion good causes worldwide. I’m not sure it is our country’s (taxpayers) responsibility to take care of them all. Charity is a complex issue. We have BillyRyan who takes his own money and time to feed and clothe the homeless. And I’m guessing EvenBob does not.

Don’t you think EB should not be forced to take care of the rest of the world’s problems through his tax dollars? Gene, how much did you donate UNICEF last year? To Doctors Without Borders? To the food bank of Prague? To the Micronesia Battle against Hunger? To the Ecuadorian Fight against Lead Poisoning?

Nope. Son-in Law came up with it. Kushner said in Feb 15. Notice the date today. It's certainly not this February.

Quote: GenoDRPh

If EB wants to live in this country, he needs to accept the tax and spend decisions of out government. So, yes, EB, you, me and every other American is "forced" to accept foreign aid will be part of the Federal budget.
