Trump promised to end the Hamas war in days. It's 10 months in.

Israel had done as much as the world would let it & the war resulted in countries recognizing a Palestinian state.

A Dem would have pulled Israel funding sooner.

Give Trump some credit but it likely would have happened without him.

Josh Hawley is an idiot.

His phone wasn’t “tapped.”Records were obtained. None of the content of the telephone calls were obtained.

And it wasn’t Biden who directed this, it was a law-enforcement agency operating independently.

The crazy thing is, since Trump told MAGA that Biden was president on January 6, 2021, they will believe him. The live in a lie with no interest in accepting the truth.

Let's be very clear.

The Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House.

So they have the job of bringing a bill that can pass and be signed into law. They have not done that. They have not done their job.

Moreover, they refuse to do it. That's a choice.

The shutdown is theirs.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

Reading up on the issues related to the Hamas/Israel war.

"The Palestinian Authority backs a two-state solution but Hamas does not because it is opposed to the existence of Israel."

Hamas has been the de facto governing body in the Gaza Strip since 2007.
