Legacy media has carried trumps water since day 1. There is no honest, critical eye on this, just “yay Donnie”. As for trump, all he wants is adoration, and to try and one up that black man that made him look foolish. He doesn’t care about Palestinian OR Israeli lives.

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a ceasefire. Why is the media calling it a peace plan?

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

We can agree to disagree, but I have given this much thought and I think a Harris presidency would have led to fewer deaths of Palestinian children. When you have a choose of voting for bad or awful, you vote for bad then work it. Trump was always awful, but people forgot that, now we are all fucked

Admin. This was coupled with a threat utterly destroy Gaza if they did not comply. Also, at this point, with this agreement, there is no clear path for self governance in Gaza, only a trumpian plan to rebuild it, and will this be his months ago promise to turn it into a trump resort?

Starvation. Keep in mind that only reason trump was (possibly, only time will tell) able to secure a cease fire was because he INCREASED the number of weapons provided to Israel, including the MK-84 heavy bombs. This gave Israel greater capability to destroy tunnels and bunkers than under the Biden

The party splits. Biden then Harris played politics, for sure. Knowing the US is a country that has been a decades long supporter of Israel, they risked losing more voters by turning against it. It was a shit calculus. Public opinion has turned against Israel precisely BECAUSE the threat of…

Right into the fascists hands. As I’ve said before, I knew when hamas raised Israel it would be an issue that would split dems and hand trump the election and I was right. The dem party is a big tent party, whereas maga is mostly monolithic. When a big tent party demands purity without compromise …

I don’t disagree that Biden was pretty bad on the issue, but calling in “genocide joe” is the same kind of “both sides” ism that has allowed maga to flourish. Trump has been TERRIBLE on a global scale. ICE, BP, NG invading cities, tariffs, come on. It’s a fucking disaster. And “genius joe” plays …

I’m having a hard time finding data that quantifies the incident rate of deaths to support your claim. All of the verbiage I see post election includes “intensifies bombing”, etc, implying it was worse post election. Also the threat of starvation dramatically increased in recent months.

The war picked up in intensity and the starvation set in during trumps term.
