Courtesy of the Chicago Tribune:Palestinian protesters set fires in Gaza Thursday morning and chanted "death to America." The State Department is warning all Americans against nonessential travel to Jerusalem, Israel, or the West Bank until further notice #TrumpResign pic.twitter.com/5Dq74yqd6J— Scott Dworkin (@funder) December 7, 2017
Clashes between hundreds of Palestinian protesters and Israeli troops erupted across the West Bank on Thursday while demonstrators in Gaza burned posters of President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as Israeli and U.S. flags.
The leader of the Hamas militant group, which runs Gaza, called for a new armed uprising in a widespread show of anger over Trump's move to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. In the West Bank, crowds of protesters set tires on fire and hurled stones at anti-riot troops.
In the biblical town of Bethlehem, troops fired water cannons and tear gas to disperse a crowd, in clashes that could cloud the upcoming Christmas celebrations in the town of Jesus' birth. In Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian government, protesters set tires on fire, sending a thick plume of black smoke over the city.
Before any of you start pointing out the obvious, yes I realize that this is a Trump directed distraction to keep us from talking about the Russia investigations.
However this also has devastating real world consequences so we really cannot ignore it.
Trust me I will have plenty to say about the Russian investigations in future posts.
By the way is anybody else deeply troubled by how casually people like Trump will risk the life of hundreds, if not thousands, simply to divert attention away from a potential scandal?
" a senior Palestinian official in Abbas’s ruling Fatah party said on Thursday that U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, due to visit the region later this month, “is unwelcome in Palestine.”
ReplyDelete“In the name of Fatah I say that we will not welcome Trump’s deputy in the Palestinian Territories. He asked to meet (Abbas) on the 19th of this month in Bethlehem, such a meeting will not take place,” Jibril Rajoub said."

Of course, intelligent people in this country saw this coming. Unfortunately many people are already adversely affected .Deeply troubled is an understatement!!!We should all be horrified!

Its quite simple t-RUMP is a grand mal presidential narcissist that is incapable of giving a FUCK about anything but himself and money. His own kids dont matter unless named Iskanka
ReplyDeleteIt has been the practice of powerful people who've been corrupted by power to kill whomever appears to be In The Way. It would be one of the reasons the founding fathers wrote the Constitution the way they did.
ReplyDeleteSo says Hard to Kill
Deletedoesn't that orange moron say or do anything that pisses off every one who hears it. why isn't his staff stopping him? are they doing stuff like this in the hope it will get him impeached or whatever faster? or is there even some one in the White House with him?
ReplyDeleteThe good news: according to biblical prophecy, Jesus will now have to return to the clusterf#ck that is modern-day Palestine. He's got no choice. Well played Mike Pence!

DeleteThis is all religious ridiculousness. How about someone step up and do away with ALL the religions, which of course anyone with eyes can see, is at the heart of all this strife.
ReplyDeleteReligion, causing wars and killing millions ever since Homo used it to explain the natural world. We know how the world works now, get over it folks, heal yourselves and live in peace.
I don't think this was done to distract from the fact that our President and his team are traitors. I think he did this for his crazy Christian followers who think this will bring the second coming of Christ... a guy who never existed from an archaic fairy tale that should have long since been discounted.
ReplyDeleteEven their Bible told them that it was stupid to think so.
DeleteYou will see, nonbeliever
ReplyDeleteNo actually I won't...

Serving the military is a noble profession IF you come out intact. Grab 'em young while they can brainwash 'em, and they'll ignore you when you come home scathed and laid up. Collateral damage for "you sunk my battleship" petty reindeer games.

Beloved son-in-law is already being pushed as President Kushner. (I am sure it is a mini group of peeps) Laugh or cry?
You can bet Cheney helped it along. Sell more arms. Make $$$
ReplyDeleteLike the middle east already isn't a growing powder keg already, may as well do the inevitable.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, by now it is evident that even if Mueller should prove beyond a smidgen of a doubt that a$$hat was involved with the Russians in destroying our democracy and destroying our country (and the rest of the world!), anything that finally might come down the pike is much too little, too late.
ReplyDeleteEven if the GOP finally impeached this a$$hat, he cannot be stopped from doing more and more damage to everything around him and to the rest of the country and the world.
Impeachment takes years, and we do not have years left. Short of him having a massive heart attack or being declared a mental patient, we are all S.O.L., and he will have the next three years to do more damage.
At least Nixon had the curtesy of resigning before he got impeached. This a$$hat will NOT resign.
Aloha Friday is a great day to resign mr trump.
