Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

So much of this is a culture problem. People should feel shame to love guns so much. They should be shunned and face job consequences if their social media username is “shooter“ and their pics are guns. This is a person who helps get kids killed in school shootings and makes us all less safe.

Gemini's instructions (see below) try to sanewash this, but "just making stuff up" is the operative part. At the same time the picture of him personally making the sale, like giving somebody a selfie or an autograph, like something he might have done and forgotten, is very chilling.
Trump's Remarks: When questioned about the weapon and the strike, President Trump noted that Tomahawk missiles are used by and sold to other nations, remarking in effect that other countries possess and operate the system.

There's a thought. Maybe the Trump "fight" against drug trafficking is him protecting his drug kingpin pardon clients from competition?

He also only plays golf at his own courses. It's pretty obvious that he makes some money that way, Secret Service and aides and press etc. paying for rooms, meals, golf carts, whatever. There's not a single dollar around that he doesn't want to capture for himself.

"fight against drug traffickers" is overstating whatever it is. They don't have any probable cause to identify them as such, but meanwhile Trump pardons convicted drug kingpins.

And he did stop the delivery of the 2000-pound bombs (which Trump restored on day 1 of his term). Maybe without that IDF would have killed 150,000 instead of 75,000.
