As expected. Nearly if not all judges nominated by Biden , Obama or Clinton always rule against Trump Still some of his nominees will occasionally rule against him.
This case will obviously be litigated till the Supreme Court

It will be by any means as long as the end goal is Peace. Diplomacy, decency and everything you stated have been tried for the past 50yrs. Under Trumps last regime 4 Arab nations for the first time recognized the state of Israel. This is what decades of Dem and Republican govt decency and diplomacy have been unable to do

How many stakeholders meetings have been held about the middle east in the past 50yrs? What happened Oslo accords, Camp David, Hebron protocol, Roadmap for Peace etc. All these before you and I were born. Yet as at few weeks ago they were still sending missiles to each other, burying men, women and children
I doubt you truly understand what you are proposing.

Take it from me. No Nation will take order from Trump by open threat or bullying. Not even the smallest country in Africa with no military. It is a disrespectful and insulting, and it will achieve nothing. Diplomacy might be slow, but it is the only respectful way for Nations to agree among themselves.

And you have visited Gaza and asked Gazans what they want and they told you what they want now is to be moved to Jordan and Egypt and their land taken over by US? And if the aim is get other Arab nations to enforce peace, it will be by threat?

No sir, decency and Diplomacy is Trump calling all the stakeholders to a meeting and reach an agreement on way forward before making a statement.
The people of Gaza desire and prayer is that every Jew on the surface of the earth be wiped out They loudly wish Hitler had accomplished his mission..
Trump is aware of that, that's why he is playing hard ball .
What have those Palestinians done with all the aid given to them for over 60 years? When Israel withdrew from Gaza the first thing they did was to loot and destroy numerous green houses and started begging for food.
Then in their elections they elected Hamas which routed Abbas PLA in a bloody takeover. Abbas cannot hold elections because Hamas will win hands down.
How do you negotiate peace with people who want every Jew dead?

Supporting a president who says whatever comes into his porous brain regardless of the disastrous fallout of such utterances. Would you even respect someone who does that as a father much less a president?
🤡
Who supports him? I said he says a lot of things like this and most time it is to bring other parties to the table.

I support Israel defending herself and her people by every means necessary. I also support US to withdraw her aids from Palestinians if it is not achieving any US interest. What is wrong is US threatening or planning to take over Gaza.

Thanks to DOGE. In sep 2022 Lindsay Graham introduced a bill to ban abortions at 15 weeks federally Led to a massive turnout by democrats. They still lost the house though. The timing of the bill was a coincidence?
Lindsay also supports military aid to Zelensky , he has visited Kiev too.

A data cruncher has discovered the International Republican Institute (IRI) ,an NGO received $130 million from USAID.

https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/1886785021236928861

Lindsay Graham is a board member.
It also has other big names on its board, including Sen Joni Ernst, Sen Tom Cotton, Sen Dan Sullivan and McMaster.
Toh! Case closed.

This is why I was telling IMAliyu2 that both Republican and Democrat politicians have been running these racket for Decades, So you the Dems now want to be the party to defend this corruption and mismanagement of tax payers money? Good luck to them explaining to voters that you are against exposing these spending

I am sure even Lindsey Graham will rather keep quiet at this point and let the Dem catch the knife for him

as in i saw the post and i was like this can only be another made up story. because who wants to write off guaranteed income in highly coveted dollars ?

a 90 day freeze is 3 months. and it should be clear to anyone that aid to third world african shitholes that have nothing to offer is not anywhere close to mr art of the transactions priorities.

this is from trump 1.0

A few miles away, another prison employee, Crystal Minton, accompanied her fiancé to a friend's house to help clear the remnants of a metal roof mangled by the hurricane. Ms. Minton, a 38-year-old secretary, said she had obtained permission from the warden to put off her Mississippi duty until early February because she is a single mother caring for disabled parents. Her fiancé plans to take vacation days to look after Ms. Minton's 7-year-old twins once she has to go to work.The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things."I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," she said of Mr. Trump. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

Nigga STFU

Over 12,000 kgs of Fentanyl were seized at Mexico border last year but your evidence is "Canada's biggest lab" with just 54 kgs of Fentanyl.

You are a real product of state school education

More drugs and more fentanyl flow from USA to Canada than vice versa. You can bet your balls on that.

Fucking MAGAts, always preferring anecdotal or isolated evidence over full data sets because they specialise in lies.

Experts say about 2 mg of fentanyl is a lethal dose. how many people can 54kg kill?

0.002 g divide
54,000 g is 27,000,000 

that 54kg can kill 27million people.

I guess the Canadian PM is supporting trump as well.

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-sell-off-half-all-federal-property-what-know-downsize-cut-costs-2026412

The General Services Administration (GSA) reportedly sent out notice on Tuesday that it plans to sell half of the federal property it manages—a move that appears to contradict Donald Trump's and Elon Musk's plans to get federal employees to return to in-person work in the office.
Why It Matters

Trump is pushing to drastically shrink the size of the federal government, signing an executive order that imposed a 90-day hiring freeze on federal agencies—with the exception of military personnel of the armed forces or roles linked to immigration enforcement, national security and public safety—and offering incentives to federal workers to quit their jobs.

In an email sent to federal workers late last month, the Trump administration asked almost all government employees to decide by February 6 whether they want to resign and receive payment for eight months. The move was strongly condemned by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), who said it created "chaos for the Americans who depend on a functioning federal government."

GSA regional managers last week received messages from the agency's headquarters in Washington directing them to terminate the leases on all of the roughly 7,500 federal offices across the country, the Associated Press reported.

The ultimate goal of these moves is to save money for the federal government; senior Trump officials reportedly told the media that downsizing the federal workforce could save up to $100 billion.
What to Know

In a message shared on social media by journalist Lisa Desjardins, GSA's Public Buildings Service (PBS) Commissioner Michael Peters informed the agency's employees that a recent analysis revealed "a gross excess of space" in PBS' portfolio "as well as substantial levels of deferred maintenance."

The combination of these two factors, Peters said, has resulted in "excess spending" and "suboptimal working conditions for the federal workforce at many locations."

The solution to these problems, the commissioner said, is to reduce non-DoD federal building space by "at least 50 percent." This reduction will come from "more efficient space utilization, as well as an overall downsizing of the federal workforce," Peters wrote. "In addition, by transitioning from an agency-centric model of space utilization to a 'whole government' approach that assesses requirements and availability across agencies, we expect to further consolidate and reduce space, as well as downsize the associated support staff and other PBS resources," he added.

According to the GSA website, PBS currently owns or leases an inventory of more than 8,800 assets, maintains more than 370 million square feet of workspace for 1.1 million federal employees, and preserves more than 500 historic properties.
we are Nigerians - so we know exactly what is going down here . This is team trump playing BPE and selling assets to cronies on the cheap.

putin is telegraphing exactly what happened in russia in the 90s.

the only thing missing is the anecdote of a drunken [maybe in this case high on aderall] trump running around naked on the streets of moscow.
