Israel decides to celebrate Donald Trump's victory by defying international law and further oppressing the Palestinians.

Courtesy of BBC: 

Israel has approved hundreds of new settlement homes in occupied East Jerusalem, after the staunch pro-Israel US President Donald Trump took office. 

Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Meir Turgeman told AFP: "Now we can finally build." 

Israel's PM reportedly delayed approval given the opposition of Barack Obama, who infuriated Israel by allowing a UN resolution against settlements to pass. 

Settlements in East Jerusalem are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. 

For his part Trump just invited Netanyahu to come hang.

Courtesy of Politico: 

President Donald Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday and invited him to the United States in February, according to a statement released by Netanyahu’s office. 

“The Prime Minister expressed his desire to work closely with President Trump to forge a common vision to advance peace and security in the region, with no daylight between the United States and Israel,” the statement said.

Gee maybe Trump will also invite Putin and they can all sit around laughing about all of the human rights they plan to stomp on.

      America needs to stop putting our money in those areas. They should not be our responsibility! How about putting the money in America and use it for the many problems Americans are currently facing! Trump himself said we are a horrible country!

      Plus, Netanyahoo is one nasty man, a dictator, has a huge ego, enjoys being in control and calling for wars! He and Trump fit together perfectly - which is critical to all of us!

      Is it any surprise that Netanyahoo and President Obama didn't get along? President Obama is completely the opposite of him!

    2. So is Iraq. So is Iran. For that matter so is Israel. If we're going to go back far enough to the biblical times when Israel was a nation, then everyone else needs to go back too. You can't pick and choose a time where one country existed. There was a time when Palestine existed too. Now the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians what was done to them; seizing their land and making them "homeless."

      If you're going to justify an ancient history that restores all of the land to Israel they historically had, then that means the U.S. can hand everything over to the Native Americans.

      You can't pick and choose.

      Since Roman times when the Philistines inhabited the region around the Jordan (hence the name “Palestine”) there has never been a political entity – neither a province nor a state – called “Palestine” and no one claimed there was until well after the United Nations created Israel in 1948. The land on which Israel was created by the U.N. was also used by the colonial powers to create Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Jordan. It was land that had belonged to Turkey for 400 years. The Turks are not “Palestinians” and are not even arabs.

      There never was an Arab country called “Palestine” or inhabited by “Palestinians.” Before the creation of the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964, which was sixteen years after the birth of Israel, no Arab political entity was called by that name.

    CNN is soft pedaling Trump today and it's total bullshit! They are interviewing folks that are pro Trump! What happened to the anti Trump folks which are the majority of America!

    Trump is an ass - and, will do nothing but harm our country. He is not qualified to be potus and is a sorry excuse for a human being!

    CNN don't let his group browbeat you into only saying nice things. Investigate him and make public what you find.

    The media is trying to act nice because of Trump knocking the media and press. Fuck him!

    Also, quit covering Trump every second. You didn't even acknowledge President Obama this much! Give America a fucking break from the jerk! Your ratings will go down because you are going to have Americans turn off your channel and watch movies!

    Trump is a fucking pain in the ass in 'everything' he is doing! He has to make big announcements from the White House - invites the media in strictly for the publication! Yea, he 'hates' the media, but sure as shit 'uses' them and knows he has to at some point.

    They keep saying he is so busy today! Shit, the guy doesn't even have a clue what a 'full' day consists of in a real working environment. He lies constantly!

    " no one has more to lose from impetuous decisions made by our new president than our service members. Cautious though they are, they’re battle-tested, and used to being jerked around by American politics."
    "Officers currently in uniform preferred Hillary Clinton, This countered both their traditional voting preferences and that of their enlisted brethren, who overwhelmingly supported Trump in the Military Times polls." “A lot of soldiers are excited, mostly because they detested… Hillary so much.” But he also draws a correlation between excitement for Trump with deployment inexperience. “Senior enlisted and mid-level and senior officers? There’s a lot more ‘WTF, Over.’ We’ve been doing this too long for this much UNKNOWN.”
    Our military—any professional military, for that matter—is always going to attract a certain type of rigid thinker drawn to authoritarianism; what one of my officer basic course instructors liked to call “Goose Steppers” after the German parade drill. Truth be told, sometimes you want a Goose Stepper or two next to you in the proverbial foxhole. But Goose Steppers making strategic and operational military decisions should turn the stomach of ANY American“ SO>
    "You got to be flexible for this life."
    " Then we flex to the next thing.”
    There’s hard-earned wisdom in those words, and, perhaps, a cynical sort of FATALism."

    Republicans File Bill To Terminate United Nations Membership And Revoke Diplomatic Immunity

    A bill co-sponsored by about half a dozen Republicans would force the United States to quit its membership in the United Nations.

    Earlier this month, Rep. Michael Rogers (R-AL) filed legislation called The American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017 on behalf of himself and at least four other GOP co-sponsors.

    The measure aims to repeal the United Nations Participation Act on 1945, which authorized U.S. membership in the intergovernmental organization.

    The bill states that the president "shall terminate all membership by the United States in the United Nations, and in any organ, specialized agency, commission, or other formally affiliated body of the United Nations."

    Additionally, the measure prohibits "diplomatic immunity for U.N. officers or employees." Without immunity protection for diplomats, the organization would be forced to re-locate its headquarters outside of the United States.

    Rogers' legislation comes after President Barack Obama's administration refused to vote against a UN resolution condemning Israel for illegal settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem
    .
    If the bill is passed by Congress, it would take effect two years after being signed into law by President Donald Trump.

    I know this is very OT but trumps potus Twitter feed is using a picture as his banner of him signing away our rights but if you notice he is surrounded by people including Barron and Melania.

    If you notice in the picture Barron is staring off to nothingness and his mother is staring at him rather then her husband. As a mother of two boys on the spectrum I recognize Barron's gaze and his mothers concern.

    From here on out, although Trump will never have my compassion or loyalty, his son and wife are off limits. To attract them in any way is as bad as when Trump states that families of terrorist should be attacked.

    1. While I agree minor children should be off limits, it is all on Trump for putting them in the spotlight. Attention will ALWAYS be on them, whether they are "attacked" or not. And it isn't an "attack" for anyone to show concern and voice questions about whether Barron is autistic.

      If Trump didn't like that, then he shouldn't have run for office. Others have stepped down from running for lesser reasons.

    "Dealings between sovereign states tend towards anarchy—because, ultimately, there is no global government to impose order and no means of coercion but WAR. For as long as Mr Trump is unravelling the order that America created, and from which it gains so much, he is getting his country a terrible deal." "Hair Force One"
