It seems like Israel is about to invade Syria.

Massive troops movement towards the occupied Golan Heights and reports of Israeli fighter jets flying over southern Lebanon and Syria all the way over Damsqus.

This comes a day after a failed attempt in kidnapping some Syrians last night.

A woman recently went viral for holding up a window sign during a traffic stop, part of a growing trend of drivers using cards to assert their rights instead of speaking to police.

Embarrassed

That’s the best description of my response for America’s action under Trump.

Just completely, shamefully embarrassed by America - in every arena that Trump has influenced.

He is an embarrassment.

British state logic;
One activist lost their shit and hit a police officer with a hammer, so that justifies declaring the entire organisation terrorists, suspending their legal rights and arresting over 2000 people for holding signs.
See? Logic.

There is seriously something wrong with this man.

Also, he is devoid of any joy. He is bitter and rotten to the core. This post proves it.

Basically a shit for brains.

Less comfortable for genocide-supporting Zionists is not the same thing as less safe for Jewish people. And the equation of Zionism with Judaism is itself antisemitic.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

The only thing Putin understands is power. Right now he has seen only weakness as Witkoff begs for Russian envoys to make Trump feel important.

Every single person in this administration should feel embarrassed as should every American who is watching their President cower.
