Seriously? You want us to engage in political violence because the administration dropped sanctions on a country whose violent, repressive dictator was just overthrown? Of all the things to go 2A over, you pick this?
This could have been avoided if one dude had better aim.
Fred Trump?
That would’ve been a glorious day.

Kill all the Americans you want as long as you bribe the toddler-in-chief…
Open corruption. Absolutely WTF.
Don’s your uncle!
Trump’s MAGA is a terrorist aligned personality cult, confirmed.

Don’t forget treason and genocide.
I am not arguing with the obvious corruption, but to provide a counterpoint to the second part of the argument: if we aren’t allowed to make peace with former terrorists, then we can never stop fighting each other, and if we keep fighting each other, then we will keep creating the next generation of terrorists.
Its the same neocons who wanted Biden to stay in Afghanistan. Anyone who thinks neocons have a popular base is a gigantic moron. The amount of neocon voters is roughly equivalent to Americans with a transatlantic accent.
Excuse you, Tom Lehrer is far from a neocon.
I may also be biased because I grew up in Seattle so I learned English by watching Frasier. I got bullied a lot.
Yes but the deal almost certainly has nothing to do with peace.
Broken clocks…
Maybe they’re hoping for a yemen type deal, where syrians will only get murdered by zios and not by zios plus USA.
My first thoughts of Al-Sharaa was that he was serious about reform from the Assad regime. I realized I haven’t followed up much on how things are going though, so if y’all wanna correct me go for it.
He did quid pro quo with Ukraine his first term and he got away with it so why not keep doing it.

The former dictator was closely aligned with Russia\Putin so now that he has been dethroned and fled to Russia the USA is trying to get a foothold in the country. Everything else is just noise and BS.
Gaining a foothold by building a trump tower over there? Yeah, that makes sense
Yes, the former dictator was aligned with Russia. Now that they are dethroned the new leaders are trying to form positive relations with Russia’s enemy ,the most powerful country in the world, the USA by openly offering opportunity and financial linkage to the USA’s leader. The USA is always looking for new opportunities. So yeah it makes sense.
Why not building hospitals for syrians, why not gaining a foothold through other means rather than a hotel for trump? Because that hotel only benefits him, his family and his friends, no benefits for Americans nor for syrians. Sound logic you have there.
The Syrians have only known dictators. In that context this is how you win over new friends and forge relationships, plus it’s only a first step. It’s a good opportunity for the USA to increase influence in the region, make a new ally, and find new business opportunities.
He’s appeasing the people who put him in power and who determine whether he stays in power.
Why would he bother appealing to the American people? We don’t control foreign policy, and even if we did, the public is so fickle, ignorant, and easily manipulated that all it takes to get people to turn on him is a random unsourced tweet from a cryptobro.
literally it is what’s had been. we have no spine
Doing Business with LITERAL TERRORISTS is a BIG BRAIN BUSINESS MOVE that will HELP the US!
-Patriotic Republicans!
The sanctions on Syria should be lifted, but WTF. I mean honestly. It will be interesting to see what Israel does from that as they generally want Syria destabilised. Could further add to the rift between Netanyahu and Trump.
Yeah, this, the Saudis getting closer to him and the Quatari plane gift sounds like he’s slowly realising the Arabs in general have more money while he’s perhaps the one politician in the US who is immune to the AIPAC trying to primary him. And I would guess Israel hasn’t even said thank you.
It will be interesting to see what Israel does
Interesting? I’ll predict the future right now: The zios will continue to invade, murder people, and steal land.
… and no one should put all the blame on one man … he isn’t that powerful or persuasive
It’s a complicit government that had decided to allow this orange menace to do as he pleases because it benefits some wealthy owners.
It’s a lot easier to blame one man because it would remove the complicity of a large organization of people that are driving all this.
It’s easy to just blame the government. When the reality is there is an entire complicit class of voters voting them in
there is also the rest of us who don’t do anything to stop him and his regime.

we do nothing to stop it. we are a cooperative society. if we allow this to happen, then the blame is on all of us.
What about those that have only recently learning about the anti-education trajectory from the Right? Or those that are oblivious but would oppose such trajectory if aware?
Am I complicit if I don’t know it’s happening?
if you don’t know it’s happening, you’ve had your head in the sand or spent too much time watching tik tok. there are no excuses.
Blame lies on the judicial branch for not putting him on the chair for his coup attempt and instead telling before elections he can do whatever he wants, legally.
the blame lies on every one of us. we know exactly what is going on, that the government is broken, and yet we do nothing. we are the last guardrails of this democracy. if we don’t do something, this is the people’s fault.
So they just SAY they will build this tower, not they are building it. What’s the chances they aren’t building shit but told our dumb fuck president this to get this done? I think pretty high. They can strimg him along, because they know he will be gone in four years either by end of presidency or death.
And that is what I don’t get. He is so easily wooed by stuff. The UK trade agreement is not great, but he flounts the high tariffs that the importers will have to pay. Someone dangles a picture of something shiny and he jumps. This is so weird
The UK trade deal is great because over here it was basically just reported as “the status quo has been maintained”, and then they just moved on to other news items. No one really cares about it.
Trump was going on and on about how America “has the best beef”, and how it’s unfair that we won’t take it, and this trade deal essentially means that farms will have to follow UK food standards in order to send beef (or whatever) to the UK. Since none of them will, essentially nothing has changed.
Right? Nothing has changed except the tariffs that are still in place and will cost the americans money. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
I mean. Empty promises for things to be paid for by somebody else are kind of his Thing. Walls, Tariffs. It makes perfect sense.
It’s the
elephanthorse in the room, and it’s braying.
