    If you expected Trump to give a single, solitary shit about ordinary citizens, then you have NOT been paying attention.

    Are the Israelis still turning away folks from the shelters that don’t look like them? They did that last year.

      Hard to tell. I saw this the other day: https://x.com/hippyygoat/status/2028821826499903592

      Sorry it’s on X but I can’t find any other source. So it may be sensationalist, recycled from 2025, or made up.

      Regardless — sorry, zhongguoren, but you aren’t the chosen people.

      Imagine living in Israel in 2026. Fucking wild, unless they’re there to overthrow the government then quite frankly fuck em.

        Being there does not mean you live there. There are many people working for “American” companies with headquarters in Israel, for example.

    Yeah. That’s what you get when your leader prioritized loyalty over competence.

    A cynic would say they’re hoping for American deaths in Israel to use as further justification for war…

    But it’s gonna ring pretty hollow after how many Americans Israel has killed.
