Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Well, we knew Trump was sucking Netanyahu, but CNN is going all in and says he's deep throating it now.

The kiss of political death.

I honestly wish more US politicians would endorse Netanyahu if they support him. Just come right out and say it, publicly, because maybe it'd make people realize who not to vote for in November.

Nice. Lately a trump endorsement is the kiss of death for any campaign. If Trump makes Netenyahu lose, even accidentally, that'll still be more anti zionist politcing than has gone on in the US since.. JFK.

/S Just kidding. The Israeli population is massively in lockstep behind Netenyahu's war crimes. Eiskenot (his opponenet) has had to veer farther right to even run at all. The resistence to the far right is a tiny tiny tiny minority there. Its basically no one. They will re-elect Netenyahu, and the whole world knows it.

Is this good for Netanyahu, or does it hurt him? I'm asking sincerely since Trump's popularity has tanked in Israel over the Iran war just like in America, just for different reasons.

Honestly everybody with a shot at winning that election is terrible so I'm not even too mad about it. Short of coming out in support of Palestinian liberation or something, Netanyahu is on the better side just because he's "dumb" (he's not; he just doesn't actually care about the Zionist project and that makes him act in ways that would be dumb if he did).
