The Trump Presidency - Part 2

Trump cancels sanctions on Israeli settlers in West Bank​


WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday rescinded sanctions imposed by the former Biden administration on far-right Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of being involved in violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, the new White House website said.
The website said Trump rescinded Executive Order 14115 issued on Feb. 1, 2024, which authorized the imposition of certain sanctions "on Persons Undermining Peace,

Security, and Stability in the West Bank."

And people foolishly thought that he would be better for the region.
Hey, we were told by quite a few on this forum that it couldn’t get worse and so not voting for the Dem was the right thing to do as a protest vote against Biden’s abhorrent Gaza policy, so don’t worry, it’ll be fine.

Talk about out of the frypan into the fire. Trump can make everything worse. Didn't people even notice what a total mess he made of the last time around. The hundreds of thousands dead? Drinking bleach advice? Disastrous economy (partly covid but still largely him) etc etc etc

Are you joking? I guarantee you that over half of Americans believe they were better off 4 years ago. We are a dumb nation filled with dumb, bigoted, selfish people. I used to believe the majority of people were innately good. No longer. The majority of people are monsters.
 
Easy now, they have a clean conscience, and really that’s the most important thing.
Except they just voted in a President who enabled and legitimised continued/expanded settlement in The West Bank. Not sure that would make me feel morally superior. Ashamed of my gullibility perhaps?

Sadly I am beginning to suspect that this is true.
 
Pardoning the jan 6th crew is a disaster isn’t it

all these lunatics who believe trump is the second coming now know, if it wasn’t already clear, they can do anything in the name of trump and get away with it
 
Ok enlighten me with some numbers then? I was under the impression that inflation in the US has been one of the lowest among the main industrial countries.
Saw this on another site:
Unemployment 4.1%
Gas $3.12/gallon
inflation 2.9%

All as of 20th January 2025

A good listen. We don't have to call it Italian or German fascism. Every version has its own flavours and ideas. But at the heart of the "ideology" is no academic arguments and no foundations in literature, it is pure expression of violence in multiple forms.

i dont know if you noticed through that smug writing, but there's a ceasefire right now.
because trump sent some random real estate developer there, who treated netanyahu like the leader of a client state and himself as the representative of the world's only superpower.

if this ceasefire holds, which is somewhat doubtful, and if trump's destruction of civil rights in the US goes through, which is not unlikely, the lesser of two evil arguments will probably still land in favour of the guy not doing a genocide.

Nice effort but they don't care, they don't even really understand the story, they just want an easy dunk, and if that means punching down on Arabs, Palestinians, Muslims or those with affected friends and family then they'll take it.

They couldn't even wait a little while for when the carnage quite likely will erupt again.

Yep, totally smug over here, you nailed it. Can’t wait for the destruction of civil rights!

Totally, you also nailed it.
 
So who had Musk doing a nazi salute on their bingo card? The way i see it there can only be four possible explanations

a) Hes incredibly fecking stupid
b) Hes high as shit on Ketamine
c) Hes an actual nazi
d) All of the above
I think his awkwardness and extreme uncoolness is because he is an autistic who has never had to mask to fit in. The Nazi salute was just him trying to express his emotions at the time. Him being a techno fascist c*** is because he is a techno fascist c***.

Edit: He did it twice so ignore what I said. I don't know what to think. I just can't believe he is this stupid to do it on live television as he can do much more damage with the influence he enjoys if he actually is a Nazi.

I still think there is a difference. Biden wants Palestinians wiped out, given four more years he would have tried his best to achieve that. Trump wants Israel to occupy all the land, the Palestinians can stay in that land or be removed from it, he doesn't care about killing them. The result of both approaches may be the same to be fair.
Do you really think Biden actually wanted Palestinians wiped out? Really? Pandering to Israel is not the same thing.

Trump will be worse. He always is.

probably all of the above but the scariest part is we're at a place where he knows he can get away with it

I genuinely think we're at a point whereby Musk being the next president, or Trump for a 3rd term, is a real possiblity

He did not need to pander to Israel after the elections. He did not need to send more weapons to Israel after the elections. What is the motive behind arming Israel (after elections) when they are systematically destroying hospitals, schools, aid infrastructure, etc. and killing doctors, aid workers, journalists, etc.?

Trump will let Israel occupy all the land and Trump does always find a way to be worse, I get that sentiment, but Biden has shown a willingness for genocide which I never expected.

Those numbers don't show what brought things down. You're doing exactly the same thing as the Trump supporters, just in reverse: "oh, it happened when Biden was president, it must be because of him".

Biden didn't cause the inflation, and he didn't fix it. It's dumb.

These sanctions weren't worth a bucket of piss.
 
So far in his first day in office.....

He's signed executive orders that ..

Remove the USA from the Paris Accord

Removed the USA from the WHO

Reversed Biden's executive order that lowered medicine prices for those on Medicare and Medicaid

Renames the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and Mount McKinley gets its name back.

Attempts to override the 14th amendment and revoke US birthright Citizenship (will go to appeal) via EO

Removes sanctions placed.on Israel and Israeli's

Revokes ban on sales of 2000lb bombs to Israel

Pardons all those convicted in the J6 riots

Stops US aid funding of UNWRA

Accuses Spain of being a BRICS nation and since then the Official Spanish White House Twitter page and the Spanish White House website have both been deleted. (Spain collectively doing a McNulty now saying 'What the feck did I do?'

Starts ordering and sending the Military to control the Southern Border

Revokes countless environmental protection orders signed in by Biden

Signs an EO ensuring drugs available to states that carry out the Death Penalty via lethal injection and wants the speed of all planned executions sped up


Signs executive order declaring there are only two genders, male and female

Signs an executive order once again preventing transgender from serving in the military.

In total Trump revokes 78 of Biden's Executive orders including on race, DEI, climate change, gender identity, COVID and more.

Announces tarrifs of 25% to be placed on all goods coming from Mexico and Canada starting February 1st

Removes National Security clearance from John Bolton

Signs an EO making it easier to fire Civil Servants from their government positions and reduces protection they receive from unions.

Plus goodness knows what else hasn't been reported yet or I haven't seen or heard about yet.

Also note how many of these were objectives of Project 25..... The same Project 25 that Trump said he had never heard of and wasn't part of.

Jesus, that is a horrific list. He is giving the American people exactly what they voted for to be fair. I think other than the drug prices, this is MAGA's dream.
