PERSONALLY I AM GLAD that the ICC ISSUED a ARREST WARRANT for Netanyahu.I am sure people here know the ruling and the arrest warrant I am referring to. FWIW, I subscribe to the theory that Bibi is definitely prolonging the war to avoid his own charges at home. That does not dismiss that he is dismantling some long standing terror support infrastructure in the region.If the ICC had issued simultaneous warrants against the IRGC leaders, Iranian council (who is literally punishing little girls over dress code) and Hezbollah, I’d have 100% agreed that it’s a ruling to give justice to people. Iran is a signatory to the Rome statute. So is Lebanon .I’ll lay it out for you real easy: what Israel is doing is genocide. The Israelis have methodically destroyed every hospital, school, water treatment, and agriculturally productive area in Gaza while also openly murdering mind numbing numbers of journalists, paramedics, doctors and children. They’re also only allowing a calorie deficit into Gaza to starve the people, and also regularly stealing land and attacking Palestinian landowners with the protection of the IDF in The West Bank-another act of genocide against the Palestinians. A terror attack does not justify a genocide. Nothing does. The war on Palestine disgraces the Israeli people, and Bibi deserves harsh judgement for his leadership. The problem with the warrant is that this creates a playbook for terror groups like Hamas on what to do: Brutally and graphically attack civilians. Commit unspeakable horrendous crimes. Do it sloppily and most of all, make it very visible and public. Say they do this to country X. The resulting pressure will force country X to try to solve this problem and go after the true sources When country X comes to hunt you down, hide within the civilian population. Use schools and hospitals for launch pads and hide ammunition in tunnels under them. Use them as human shields Country Xis now forced to commit collateral damage Have your international backers ready to whip audiences worldwide into a frenzy. Anyone who opposes, call them fascists or anti-humanitarian Convenient evidence ready for “international law” for prosecution rinse and repeat. Now as I said, I do think Bibi needs to stand trial but without also prosecuting those who cause this issue, we are basically green lighting future repeats. A fair and just future has to include dismantling of support infrastructure of terror. And that has to go beyond just Hamas as a local entity, and to its true backers. Getting Bibi charged went almost as according to their plan since by now, Israel is unquestionably being reprimanded globally for responding to a terror attack that was heinous and deliberately provocative. We can argue about proportionality but that’s not how war works. When a non state actor uses civilian population to hide in and attack (all war crimes of their own rights by the way), you have little choice but to resort to extreme measures. Israel’s atrocities in Gaza which are against a population that was already under its oppression are not excused or justified by Hamas’ attacks. The arrest warrant is because war crimes and crimes against humanity were committed by Israel in gaza on the orders of Netanyahu and the scale of these atrocities are thoroughly documented, much of it by Israeli soldiers who have conducted themselves like terrorists. I have written enough already. All I am gonna tell you is that ICC had a golden opportunity to properly settle ALL criminals against humanity yet they pursued a narrow political agenda. They blew it. Now Trump will come to power, actively thwart the ICC, MBS and Israel will have their long overdue Abraham accords and the only people who would have suffered for Iran’s regional ambitions will be the Palestinians.

ARRESTING BIBI Netanyahu !

WILL TRUMP SURVIVE A SECOND TERM?
I was going to write a article on JOE BIDEN's chances of serving a SECOND TERM . Then he was kicked to the boot by the Democratic Deep State . Then we saw that KAMALA lost, she had not chance to beat Donald J Trump . WILL TRUMP SURVIVE A SECOND TERM? .We have assassination attempts , evil deep state democrats and possible foreign actors at play . People tell me by way of consolation that the US Constitution is unambiguous: This is Trump’s 2nd and final term. People, he knows this, too. He can now go full bananas (a technical term we political scientists use ) without worrying about backlash, ratings or reelection. If I was a betting man, I would say yes, but I don’t think it’s outside of the realm of possibility that we fracture as a society from it. I think him winning will mark the beginning of the end of America as a respectable super power though. He’s not a serious person and the fact that he can win twice while doing what he did to tarnish public faith in democracy means the American experiment has failed. With a gerrymandered Congress and no end in site to broad, popular support for anti democratic MAGA behavior evidenced by a Trump win, I don’t see a way out of constant constitutional crises, if not total fracturing of the country, for decades. Economy will climb, Palestine’s fucked & PRETTY MUCH ISRAEL in wars to come , Ukraine’s party is over, nothing will change for that special protected class nor will abortion. Still lethal in every state. Leaving the typo. There are no states where woman face prosecution for having an abortion. There are no states that criminalize miscarriage, the care of, or removal of ectopic pregnancy. There are no states that criminalize life saving care for the mother. There’s also no states where a mother needs to be dying in order to receive care. None of Project 2025 will be implemented, that was only the Democratic boogeyman.Nobody cares about messing with the gays at this point, nor should they care because it’s not interfering in Americans’ lives. You’ll probably see a tighter lockdown on trans ideology being taught though, specifically to kids. I personally agree with that.They dismantle Roe V. Wade and let the states decide, and I’m guessing they’ll find that states will end up wanting to choose to be pro choice; and once again, even as a Republican you can’t necessarily be mad at that because at that point the people have decided upon it.The economy will probably only see a difference in the third year, would love to be wrong though. If the administration keeps their money where their mouth is and manages to efficiently and wisely cut needless federal spending, you might even see a government kickback or two to the people within the first two years almost like a bribe of goodwill 🤣 NOW WE PONDER , WILL TRUMP SURVIVE A SECOND TERM IN OFFICE ? First off ...He was already president for 4 years, and while I disagreed with a lot of his policies and decisions things were still fine. COVID happened and his response was panned but COVID sucked for everyone in the whole world and pretty much everyone ended up getting it anyways no matter what they tried, I don't think Hillary would have stopped COVID from killing millions and disrupting the global economy. I don't believe he will turn the whole Government nazi or hunt down LGBTQ+ people or become immortal God Emperor of the United States or all these other crazy hysterical things I've seen posted on social media. I think he will probably get elected and that's not ideal but everyone should just take some deep breaths it will be fine. Nothing we haven't been through before already, I don't see how it's meaningfully different this time and I'm not getting worked up about it. I do think one important piece of this time that’s not hysterical but is a “big deal” is that Trump will have a true lame duck period where he doesn’t care about reelection that could lead to him doing some crazy stuff for his last year or so. Even in the most generous interpretation of his intentions he will certainly be trying to shore up the government in his favor for decades to come and hand out as many favors as possible. A Trump second term is vary unsettling to anyone. Your ALL GOING TO WAKE UP to that reality to that he might win a second term. It will be interesting to see politically, if he’s not on the ballot, if he still has the hold on the party that he does now. Half of the GOP senators are queasy every morning over tweets. Based on the current hysteria, anything short of extermination camps for minorities, gays and liberals, women losing the right to vote, being annexed by Russia, and having the White House become the “Gold-plated House” should be considered a win.The one thing many predictions seem to agree on is that the election could rest crucially on Mr Trump’s leadership of the US through the coronavirus pandemic and mitigating the public health crisis’s impact on the economy in the upcoming months before November. Trump is running not so much against specific parts of the government as against the idea of Washington, which is to say the idea that someone somewhere has a lot more power than you do and is using it against your best interests. That idea is deeply fixed, both in the rational workings of the American mind and in the untamed regions of American suspicion Donald J Trump DID WIN a second term. THE FUTURE : I am not saying the dollar is only valued at three cents, it’s 100, everyone knows that. What I am trying to get into you is the devaluation of the dollar is currently at 3 cents, that’s it’s buying power in 2024. It’s on borrowed time, the rest of the globe knows that. Didn’t we have last year one of Africa’s leaders stating to get off the dollar? The bigger nations like China are decoupling from it and dumping a lot of their USD holdings out of their circulation. I’m betting we’ll have a digital currency escape plan in not too much time. They might make us willow in poverty for a bit as punishment for Trump.Donald Trump has just won a second term. Many on the American left are scratching their heads, asking themselves "what went wrong"? However, every commentator I've seen seems to be focusing on small picture details. Attempting to analyse and dissect. Why did you many young men vote for Trump etc. IMHO, they are missing the wood for the trees. The American Democratic Party has been comprehensively out maneuvered, and this is all part of a conspiracy that has been twenty years in the making. Trump enters his second term emboldened by surviving Jan 6, indictments, and assassination attempts. Now armed with deeper knowledge of government levers of power, he’s more confident, daring the system to defy him. A dangerous phase of his presidency begins.

POST ELECTION FALLOUT & THE SHOCK TO DEMOCRATS !!!
HE IS BACK ! THANKS TO THE DEMOCRATS |
This is what we call a “moment of truth” in the truest sense of the term. That moment where you’re forced to stop out of the echo chamber and take in how large the gap is between belief and reality. If you were shocked by this result, I would take some time to sincerely speak to others who don’t hold your views. If you expected a landslide, good job, but keep your beliefs accountable and remember to reckon with the differences in your expectations of a Trump presidency now vs. what he will have accomplished by 2028. WE WARNED YOU ----WE WARNED YOU this was going to happen four YEARS AGO !The Impact of Trump’s Landslide is Still Yet to be Felt .Exemplary and moved, Kamala Harris gifted Donald Trump what he had deprived Joe Biden four years earlier: She admitted defeat. On Wednesday, November 6. The hysterical reaction to the US election, not only on social media but in the mainstream media, is the fallout from a failed biopolitics, in which the body of the voter has been targeted with innumerable thee. The hysterical reaction to the US election, not only on social media but in the mainstream media, is the fallout from a failed biopolitics, in which the body of the voter has been targeted with innumerable threats. For months, a powerful confirmation bias dominated the Democratic camp and most commentators. It was based on the idea that every excess, every incoherence of Trump was proof of his extremism – an extremism the American people could not, in good conscience, accept. The fact that Harris' presidential campaign centred on countering Trumpism showed a lack of genuine interest in tackling issues important to minority groups. Democrats actually benefitted from Trump's rise, which presented an opportunity for them to win votes freely by positioning themselves as the only alternative to outright fascism. It failed this time, but this is the new technique of politics. Threats. It failed this time, but this is the new technique of politics. There is no doubt that the collective rage among liberals over losing the election to Trump comes from a place of cognitive dissonance influenced by American exceptionalism. How could the US - a beacon of liberal values and justice - elect a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, convicted felon as its president? Yet, rather than taking this opportunity to examine the many issues within American democracy and society - ranging from structural racism to economic inequality, monstrous foreign policies, and the malign influence of money and multinational corporations on politics - liberals are taking their frustrations out on disenfranchised communities. THE LEFTY DEMOCRATS IMPLODED without CONSIDERING some facts WHY TRUMP WON and WHY KAMALA HARRIS LOST . The scale of Trump's win was a shock to the system for Democrats, many of whom have suggested that Biden running for reelection before making the decision to drop out of the race in July may have doomed their hopes of retaining the White House. Harris led among women by an average of 11 points. That’s a decrease from the 15 point lead Joe Biden commanded in 2020 and Clinton’s 13 point lead in 2016, according to a Washington Post average of October national polls. Harris shed support among women compared to her Democratic nominee predecessors, despite being lauded as the candidate of The Girls. She was a pretty poor candidate. Biden should have done the honourable thing about a year or so ago and announced he wouldn't run again. Give the Democrats a chance to pick a candidate with a chance, For those in a hurry: (a) Harris was rumbled as a phoney; (b) she focused on the wrong things; and (c) women can think for themselves and weigh up what's best for them, their families and the country. Who knew? The definition of a blowout win in modern times is Obama's 2008 victory. For Trump win probably DID occur, but he could sweep all the swing states plus New Hampshire and Minnesota A HUGE victory is large enough. That would get him to 326 electoral votes to 212 for Harris.THAT WAS PREDICTABLE MONTHS AGO !!! Biden did not explicitly pledge that he would not seek reelection during his 2020 campaign, although he did hint at the possibility by describing himself as a "transition candidate" and a "bridge" to a younger generation of Democratic leaders. While the president changed course and announced that he would likely run for reelection only months into his term, he faced immense pressure to drop out this year following a disastrous debate performance with Trump on June 27. THE BIDEN FALLOUT BLAME GAME is going right NOW. It’s also plausible that millions of women didn’t want to elect a vapid cipher as their first female president. Clinton, for all her scandals and shenanigans, was one of the most cunning women in politics. She had genuine talent in rhetoric and strategy. After Biden’s abrupt ouster at the eleventh hour, Harris had the herculean task of proving herself to an already skeptical public. She skipped the primary process without a single vote cast, ascending to the nomination without demonstrating that she was qualified. Just like men, women could clock Harris as an impostor. Harris’ team and media could still claim that the women who voted for Trump suffer from internalized misogyny, or promote the idea that women can be sexist against women. In reality, many women’s reasoning was simple. Their lives were better under Trump, rendering hollow Democrats’ warning that their rights would be revoked under a second term. I was not surprised to hear that the Harris supporters quickly said people didn't vote for her because she is a woman and of color. Imagine always having that excuse in your pocket all the time.Your boss tells you to do something you do not want to do and you can come back with “This is because I am a woman of co lour isn't it?” It is such a cheap, lazy excuse to blame either Clinton’s or Harris’s failure on misogyny. Always someone else’s fault. No, it was because Clinton didn’t bother to hide her contempt for anyone who wasn’t her, and Harris is frighteningly incompetent. If Condoleezza Rice had run, she would have won in a landslide. Donald Trump, the victor of the election, offered to help pay off the Democratic Party's campaign debt. In a social media post, he surprised expressed that the Democrats didn't have a surplus of funds left after raising a record amount during the 2020 presidential race. I am very surprised that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight in the 2020 Presidential Election, raising a record amount of money, didn't have lots of dollars left over. Now they are being squeezed by vendors and others. Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do. We have a lot of money left over in that our biggest asset in the campaign was Earned Media. , and that doesn't cost very much. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump wrote. The left can’t bear to think they lost and therefore throw accusations around of misogyny and racism. Everything for the left has to come down to identify politics, it’s never about talent and who’s best for the job, it’s about virtue signalling. It’s wonderful to know that Americans saw through the endless propaganda and voted for someone with a plan, as opposed to someone whose only plan was to not be her opponent.With a presidency that was perceived as being sub par, left leaning voters who wouldn’t vote Trump and progressive voters who were reluctant to go Harris both had less enthusiasm and turned out less. Trump’s side hasn’t really lost any of their passion for him, and as a result turned out in force once again. I think no matter which Dem, it would have been hard to win. Inflation kills admins. This parallels Jimmy Carter vs Reagan. Carter and Biden had economic crisis and an aggressive Iran. This is when "strongmen" like Trump and Reagan come to win elections. Didn’t help Harris was a dud even in 2020. People should have seen how really unpopular she has been. She also had a lot of misses during her campaign. You can only run on feelings for so long, and focusing on trump when she should have focused on being a strong voice about her own policies would have helped. Every other word she said was Trump or threat to democracy. It feels like her words became noise. BUT focusing on trump when she should have focused on being a strong voice about her own policies would have helped. I think this is why she faded so hard in the last 6 weeks according to polls. She went hard negative, and who does that motivate? No one in the world was sitting there thinking, "Man, I'm not sure if I think Trump is a good guy or not, but if I hear a democrat insult him for the 9001st time I'll finally agree." Plus it rings hollow when they kept exaggerating or reading his words in the worst possible light. Dude was president for four years, people already have him as a given in their minds... you job has to be to convince them that you exceed that level, not that that level was actually way worse than they remember. For anyone shocked by this, they are not understanding of Maslow's hierarchy of needs and are in a bubble preventing them from seeing, most people care about being able to afford food and safety more than they do about the social issues. THE CRASH HAS ALREADY BEGUN. The U.S. has already entered into severe recession, the auto industry is going bankrupt, the housing industry is going bankrupt, the steel industry is going bankrupt‚ the banks are going bankrupt! The 23rd largest bank in all the United States & the largest bank in all Philadelphia is going bankrupt, & the U.S. is trying to bail it out—another big top bank of the Federal Reserve System‚ one of the biggest U.S. banks! I think the Democrats need to stop with the moralizing. You can't threaten to take away gas stoves, heat, and put people in EVs using million/billionare spokespersons that fly around in private jets. You can't tell people when inflation is going crazy that we need to stand with Ukraine. I think the covid restrictions were damaging to democrats as well, when no gatherings were ok, but then when people protested it was OK because racism is more dangerous than covid or however it was presented. You can't present a sub par president, and bad economic as the greatest president ever and an economy that's going great. You can't dress up a terrible candidate and act like she's the greatest thing ever and democracy will be over if she doesn't get elected. The democratic party is out of touch and needs to reset to more grounded concerns of the middle class and not call their opponents supports clingers, deplorables, garbage, or Nazis. At some level the Democratic party needs to call out all of their liars from within that have been gaslighting everyone for years now. Multiple news sources are now projecting that Trump will win a second term as president.His anticipated Electoral College victory comes on the back of major battleground wins in North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia. But what many didn't anticipate was a Trump victory with the popular vote as well. If the projections hold, he'll be the first Republican candidate to win the popular vote in 20 years.Naturally, many questions about a second Trump presidency remain: How will this affect his ongoing lawsuits? Will the Republican Party secure the House/Senate/Presidency trifecta? If so, what laws are they looking to pass? If such a definitive victory holds, how will the Democratic Party adapt in the future?

THE CON ........AND THE DON of Election NIGHT !
THIS YEARS ELECTION is CLOWN SHIT SHOW . IT'S BETWEEN a CON~WOMAN and a MAFIA TYPE DON . You Know what I mean ? This NOVEMBER 5th .. there is going to be so much ballot's not being counted it's going to make the 2020 election look TAME .The public opinion of our government is low.Voters can respond in a couple of ways. The first is to stay away, and not vote. Off year elections have dismal turn-out, typically around 25% of eligible voters. This isn’t the sign of an engaged or enthusiastic electorate, and isn’t a good sign for a democracy. A second common response is to reject either party. The current two-party political system has encouraged the rise of the most extreme candidates, taking rational moderates out of the national conversation,The current two-party system gives too much power to the extremists in each party. Much of that is actually institutional in nature. So, for example, the primary system means that in a lot of states, independent voters are essentially unrepresented in choosing the two candidates who are going to appear on the general election ballot. In this election , the heated rhetoric between Trump and Kamala is no exception . The demand for " Change " that catchy word that Pres. Obama wiggled his way through the last eight years in reality has maintained the status quo. I've often asked my self . I am better off than I was eight years ago ? Once you get beyond fraud, however, it's a lot more... plausible. In the wake of the pandemic, many states implemented emergency measures that changed how votes were cast and counted. Additionally, there were a lot of strange occurrences on election night, and in the days afterwards. Some of these have explanations, some don't, and not all the explanations are well known or uncontested. This is stuff like how all but one bellwether county were wrong, which has never happened before. For reference, bellwether districts are one of the metrics that international agencies use when determining if an election is free and fair. There are some explanation to this, but they're not conclusive. Also, we're faced with an unprecedented voter demographics. Trump is the first second term candidate to gain a higher percentage of the vote and still lose. He also gained ground in every demographic group in America, save white males. What makes this particular worrisome is we know there was an effort to manipulate the election to ensure Trump didn't win. It doesn't show anything illegal, but account for much of issues that are raised, from policy changes with dubious legality, to coordinated news coverage, to issues with polling locations ranging from overt anti trump messages posted by volunteers to favored treatment for mail in ballot, which favored democrats. Joe and Kamala snuck into the polling places wearing Hamburglar masks, and they stuffed the ballots into black burlap sacks with a dollar sign on the side. Then they skulked off into the night, cackling at their perfidity.Then they...oh, I can't do it. Just stop, folks. Any widespread fraud would have been exposed by now.Did it happen on a small scale in some circumstances? Maybe. And if it did, I really want it investigated, no matter who it benefited. R'N ALL , Trump should have won 2020 , that I have to admit . Now to my Democrat friends , I admit that I told them back in 2020 that the worse of the two evils was Biden .... Biden , is part of some Deep State option , but who you'd think is running the country now ? Obama -Michelle , or Hillary Clinton ? You still haven't asked the real question: why did they steal the ballots? And the answer is staring you in the face! The Lizard People burn the ballots to create toxic smoke as part of a terraforming project to make the Earth favorable for them. Then they use the 5G wireless signals to alert the Robot Space Pope, who is the one really in charge of our elections. Donald Trump, who is in a secret cabal with Keanu Reeves and the ghost of Dwight Eisenhower, is the only one who has a campaign platform of resisting their inevitable oncoming invasion. There is quite an apparent lack of transparency. This is evident from the elections, and with Covid. People no longer want to accept whatever their government and the media tell them. This was the first big election where most of the voting was done by mail. I’m not claiming one way or the other but I think people’s concerns should be addressed in a meaningful way rather than gaslighting. As far as fraud, I do believe there was fraud in the 2020 election. I also believe there was fraud in the 2016 election. And the 2012, and the 2008, and the 2004, and so on. Oh, and I believe there will be fraud in the 2024 election, and beyond. There is always fraud, there will always be fraud. This isn't disputable, and until very recently it was just accepted that there will be some fraud. The catch is that I don't believe fraud has ever risen to a level where it would even come close to affecting the results of a national election. Some podunk town county clerk race with 100 total votes? Maybe, I guess. Statistically I'm sure any fraud there would have a better chance of affecting things, but anything beyond tiny county scales I just don't think fraud is a big enough concern when it comes to elections, considering the massive amount of votes involved. Should we do stuff to stop fraud? Absolutely, and we do. Could we do more? Maybe. I don't know, at some point there's a point of diminishing returns. I guess it would just depend on the measures planned and what negative collateral damage they would cause. Either way, that's just hypotheticals, and discussion that I think is purely neutral and reasonable that suddenly isn't politically palatable anymore to talk about without stirring the pot. My reply always is, so what if the Democrats cheated it's Trump's fault for letting them get by with it. If he knew they were cheating ahead of time as he says that he did and was President of the United States the most powerful man in the world and couldn't stop it he deserved to lose. You don't handle a scorpion saying that it's going to sting you and then be surprised and upset whenever you get stung.You can't really get mad at the Democrats doing exactly what you say they're going to do when Trump and the Republicans did absolutely nothing to prevent it. Either way, just my two cents... The 2024 election matters. It's fair to say we need better candidates and better electoral processes in general, but this narrative about Biden sucks is the worst thing anybody could say against US democracy at this point in time short of supporting Trump. The US is a crumbling Empire operating under the illusion of being a democracy, with a corrupt economic system that has failed, a Govt and media that has been purchased by the ruling class and corporations and has become such a joke, that we are on a rematch of Biden vs Trump. NOW HARRIS VS TRUMP !!!!
