Burning shit seems to work well when done in large enough quantities, see France.

Do they not teach you in school that Canada was the reason for the Geneva convention?

And not in the “we thought it was a good set of rules” kinda way.

Why you gotta be pissing off your friends America?

What the fuck did we do to you?

Now we have to be mean back, and that’s not good for either of us.

Because the two countries have been attacking each other economically, politically, intellectually, and digitally for decades now.

Just because people aren’t shooting guns at each other doesn’t mean a war isn’t happening.

The US is also at war with China.

These mother fuckers never learn.

Ha ha

Yea, well, we’ll see how well the republicans get support 3 years from now when everyone is in even more pain than they are today.

The people will again be looking for someone to blame, and rather than blaming themselves for being stupid and voting for Trump, they will simply throw Trump under the bus.

Ahead of his time in so many ways.

Enjoy the face eating.

That’s why I said stretch. He could have been asked to leave immediately, then charged with trespass for not leaving fast enough or something.

They can’t have a reason, it’s not illegal to hold up a flag. They may be able to stretch it to trespassing at best.

There was never any intention to “clear out” Afghanistan.

It’s FAR easier to just remove every single person than to try to eliminate a specific tiny minority of a population who blends in with the locals.

Canada did it first…

Not only is the gift illegal, Trump can’t even use it because of security issues.

It’s just rediculous all around.

Why not?

If you think about this from an individual perspective, if you go out to a protest, and by doing so block an ambulance from getting to a patient leading to their death. Morally, that death is on you.

This isn’t any different, by protesting you caused an electoral result that led to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Being part of a group does not absolve you of the results that group causes.

Again, The road to hell is paved with good intentions. That saying exists for a reason. People do things for the right reasons, but they turn out to have bad consequences all the time.

It’s not the genocide that was unpopular because of the protestors, it was voting that was unpopular because of the protest. The protests brought far more attention to the situation, and people stayed home on voting day because of it.

If you think that the only difference between Democrats and Republicans was their support for the Israeli situation then you’re completely delusional.

How else were they supposed to get the democrats to stop driving the bus off the cliff?

You can’t always get what you want, and sometimes you get what you don’t want. Knowing when is the right time to take action is just as important sometimes as taking action.

All this protest did was end up with Palestinians in an even worse spot.

I said it was NOT unforeseen. People knew that these protests would suppress democratic voters, and would be unlikely to sway the current administration. They protested anyways knowing that could cause a Trump victory. Now by the time the next election comes around, there may not be a Palestinian people for the Democratic party to support.

This situation is the textbook definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Protestors made a poor decision. Despite protesting for the right reasons the consequences will be more harmful to those they sought to stand up for.

This was not an unforeseen consequence, everyone with a brain was screaming it from the rooftop, and now here we are.

This shit is being hidden from people in order to allow foreign countries and billionaires to sway votes.

It’s not free speech.

Yes they did. Musk and Trump literally campaigned together, Musk was on-stage next to Trump at multiple rallies where he spoke too. It was clearly reported during the election that Musk was spending hundreds of millions of dollars to get Trump elected.

Here’s an article from September (before the election) with Trump saying he’d create DOGE and have Musk lead it. https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-elon-musk-government-efficiency-commission-e831ed5dc2f6a56999e1a70bb0a4eaeb

Anyone who voted from trump and didn’t expect this is either lying, or intentionally being ignorant.
