“The Republican Party, as many of us know it, no longer exists,” said one source, who asked not to be named. “We do not recognize ourselves anymore in Trump’s administration. There is a strong movement out there in the party to reclaim the values we were raised on and reclaim the middle ground.”

Translation: "Omg can you believe this leopard is eating my face? Now that I'm personally affected by my own stupidity I want to be friends with Democrats!"

a 67-year-old Israeli living in central Israel, told MEE that after initially supporting the strikes against Iran, reality quickly hit home that Israel was vulnerable and that Israelis, just like Iranians, could also be targeted.

"The attack surprised me," Yafa-Niger said.

Similar when they were doing border patrol in Texas.

Military training is kinda big on threat identification and assessment. You don't have to like the military to appreciate some of the stuff you can learn from it.

Protesting is not a threat to America. It's a threat to the people who are in charge.

Yeah but who got in trouble for hiring them? Did the farm owner run?

Pretty sure that happened. Multiple times. There was even an insurrection. 77,000,000 Republican voters didn't care. I think even some investigations were dropped.

Yes that was the whole point of the November election. Not enough people sent their message but 77,000,000 Republicans did.

This week, China imposed more export controls on rare earths, which include materials used in high-tech products, aerospace manufacturing, and the defense sector.

And then Trump,

executive order signed by President Donald Trump that launched an investigation into the "national security risks posed by U.S. reliance on imported processed critical minerals and their derivative products."

"There is no winner in tariff wars and trade wars, and China does not want to fight, but it is by no means afraid to fight."

His importance was underscored in a leaked text chain on Signal disclosed by The Atlantic magazine last month. In it, Hegseth named Caldwell as the best staff point of contact for the National Security Council as it prepared for the launch of strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.

It's not a complaint. It's a pretense and excuse to persecute people he doesn't like.

The decision by Uncommitted not to back Harris may not hamper her chances at winning the White House in November, but it bodes poorly for the progress Democrats had aspired to make in engaging disenchanted voters — not just their Arab and Muslim constituents.

I mean, the Uncommitted org is pretty much a single issue org so there's not much to work with or talk about. I still think when Kamala wins there will be a course change concerning Israel because Democrats know how important holding the White House for 12 years is. Right now the Presidential election is more important than single issue voters.

When Trump was in office foreign translators got a ton of shit for doing thier job. So many non English speaking people thought the translators were drunk. That made more sense at the time than The President of the United States of America actually saying the things he said. There was also the time he got laughed at by the entire United Nations.
