US politics - the new orange wave (Part 7)

I can’t believe Putin was successful in installing a traitor as President to the United States. He really did play the long game and it paid off.

Scary 4 years ahead

I heard a report that Trump is deporting 5000 people a week whilst Biden was actually doing 15,000.

Is this true?

Just another way example of Trump says he’ll do something and then actually doesn’t.

Why though? It’s so stupid.

I don’t think the gap was quite as big, but is true.

More Xitter brain farts. Interesting.

Not stupid at all. They want to keep getting all that sweet military equipment from the US. And unlike Ukraine they don’t have to pay Trump back for getting it.

Maybe. Hasn’t the latest tranche of military aid already been passed by Biden? Why now? What’s the payoff?

There is always next year. And the year after that. And decades after that.

Also, they want support to turn Gaza into prime beachfront real estate.

Expected and disgusting from current US admin, craven and kind of astonishing from Israel. That’s a full fledged pitch for villain status. Uglier times ahead.

Unusually poor reporting by the Guardian there. No mention of how consumer confidence could be damaged by the threat to sack millions of workers.
