"On Tuesday, at a stunning joint press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced the US will be taking over and running Gaza, potentially for the foreseeable future.

“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "

      Those people are too busy foaming at the mouth over the gulf of America. They never gave a shit about Palestine, it was nothing more than a convenience for them.

      They still blame it on Biden and Harris.
      One argument I see a lot is that it’s somehow Kamala’s fault by not trying hard enough to win their votes.

      Harris got more votes than Biden did in the majority of the key swing states. Stop directing your anger at people other than those who actually voted for him.

        Nope, people who stayed home instead of voting Democrat are worthy of anger too. Not voting has consequences.
