Offered him a tower and a plane. They're trolling the US.

Well it was US who backed them in the first place.

I hate corruption in all forms, but I love the fact that Israel (edit: Israeli government) is freaking the fuck out right now because the Middle East just realized all they have to do is bribe Trump.

Israeli government is pissed right now, and that’s awesome….

But also, stop pretending like just about every politician in Washington doesn’t also take legalized bribes

Corruption is a hell of a drug!

All of those January 6th people who were freaking out about losing their country... where are they now? Hmmmm.

Fucking hypocrites.

I find in endlessly funny that we've been screaming at the democrats to leverage Israel more to end hostilities in the ME without any real movement from them, but suddenly Trump is willing to say 'fuck it' just because the right people happen to be bribing him.

If the right people keep trump's palms greased for long enough we might actually end up on the right side of history by accident, and if that's not comedy I don't know what is.

He did quid pro quo with Ukraine his first term and he got away with it so why not keep doing it.

My new conspiracy theory: Vance is a made man for the Technate, and the plan has always been to get him into the Presidency. Trump will be enabled to act as corruptly as he wants, until an impeachment succeeds. Vance will step in and fulfill Thiel's program. Trump lands softly, and the Matrix is built.

The crowd that went on about a laptop for 5 years suddenly don't care about The President getting a whole ass jet and tower as a gift. But they aren't a cult. Only decorum and the law matters when Dems are in power.

I am not arguing with the obvious corruption, but to provide a counterpoint to the second part of the argument: if we aren't allowed to make peace with former terrorists, then we can never stop fighting each other, and if we keep fighting each other, then we will keep creating the next generation of terrorists.

The really ugly thing here is, al-Sharaa is the best thing to happen to Syria in decades. Most people have been urging recognition of his government and the relaxation of sanctions because he's about as good we can expect a leader of Syria to be.

And he is still bribing Trump.

This isn't merely corruption. This is the *normalization * of corruption. Even countries that abide by democratic norms and international law are going to need to grease palms to conduct regular diplomatic relations. The EU and UK and Canada might be able to weather his bullshit until he folds like he always does, but developing nations will be stuck trying to bid for American favor.

Welcome to the Chinese century.

I ran out of outrage about two months ago.

..... and no one should put all the blame on one man ... he isn't that powerful or persuasive

It's a complicit government that had decided to allow this orange menace to do as he pleases because it benefits some wealthy owners.

It's a lot easier to blame one man because it would remove the complicity of a large organization of people that are driving all this.

This post reeks of Israeli propaganda. Ahmed al-Sharaa renounced al-Qaeda many years ago and has a lengthy, demonstrated record as a moderate, inclusive leader who fought both the Assad regime and ISIS at the same time. A moderate Arab leader who protects ethnic minorities is a threat to the Israeli narrative about their neighbors.

Here's my most optimistic take for Americans. This guy is not as bad as Hitler. He's out to scam the world, not conquer it militarily. So that's a plus, for now. If his successor is Vance then the invasion of Canada and Mexico might actually happen.

This needs to be posted in every single LOOK WHAT HE DID NOW thread
