There is also the Soleimani drone strike that Donald Trump had issues with Benjamin Netanyanhu over.

Trump not being on board for Greater Israel and making a deal unfavorable to Netanyahu isn't that shocking.
Trump isn't on the best terms with Netanyahu. Can't say I blame him. He did serve his friend Abe food out of a shoe:
Tulsi seems to be on the path to being confirmed. She had to compromise on 702. Tulsi's views are not Zionist geopolitically.

- Trump wants to end the war.
- Israel says they’re fighting to free the hostages.
- Trump says “Great, I’ll free them and then the war will be over!”
- Trump frees the hostages through diplomacy and tells Israel that they’re victorious.
- Israel seethes because they didn’t actually want to rescue the hostages, they just wanted an excuse to kill their ancient enemies.

this is the part I need burger suit wearing Doompillers to explain. I was ASSURED by the top minds of pol that trump was gonna take every last penny out of my wallet to be sent to israel to exterminate every last arab babies as a prelude to the extermination/enslavement of the goyim.
This did not happen. DA J0000000s/ZOG/whatever I was assured trump was beholden to seem to be very upset instead. What happened? Doompillers need to explain to me why their predictive models of donald trump sucking kushner's jewjew cum have completely and utterly failed.
could it be Doompillers are just as mentally ill as libtard TDS paitents?

Judaical Watch continues it's attempts to get Fanni Williams's DA office to cough up any discourse between her and the Biden Admin in regards to Trump's case.
She just lost a judgment where she was fined for lying by saying her office had no such records. Too bad for her several people came forward with documents and gave them to Judaical Watch so the judge got pissed and made her pay for the court costs that JW had to pay in order to get her lies. To the tune of 22K.
She is still stonewalling and refusing to turn over anything however, now saying the documents are privileged and thus not part of FOIA. No doubt most of them have "been lost" by now but by how hard she is fighting to keep her ADA's from being questioned and her office from being searched you know there is still some shit to be found.
No doubt she's holding out for Biden to ride into the rescue....stupid nigger. The Dem's ain't going to save your ass now, you failed so they're going to toss you to the wolves in the hope it will be enough to save their own skins.
Just wait until Trump's AG gets in, then his team will go over your whole office with a fine toothed come and find everything. You think your ADA's are going to go to jail to save your ass Fanni?
Your in deep doo-doo gurl.
Anyway here's some faggot lawyer going over the judgment.

Yea he always seemed more anti war than almost anything besides immigration enforcement.
I’d guess his son in law Jared Kushner will push for more Israel favorable terms but in the end Trump wants the fighting to stop I think. At some point or another. He has a similar philosophy in Ukraine I think.
Or he doesn’t because he’s Trump and changes his mind constantly / plays the 10d chess madman theory type.

You nigs need some new stoner stereotypes and people of all walks of life get high. I personally vape the legal devil's lettuce like a chimney and I'm a complete workaholic (bitcoin/stonks and snowboarding don't exactly pay for themselves) and love outdoor recreation while stoned. I also suspect if having all of the old cigarette smokers die off by now pretty much contributes to these stupid marijuana vs tobacco debates Twitter addicted weirdos are obsessed with ad nauseum - The last time I remember ever seeing someone use a voice box was way back in 2009.
Also a question for those in blue areas - Are you seeing a conspicuous drop in LGBT crap being displayed where you live? I've noticed in my area the amount of rainbow flags (And BLM junk for that matter) I used to see being proudly displayed on people's homes have dropped like a rock.

My great grandfather was killed young by tobacco. A packing crate full of the stuff landed on his head.

Wow Gillibrand has aged a lot since I saw her last
Danielle Smith was just at Mar-a-Lago, says brace for impact, she doesn’t think Alberta oil will be exempted. And that was probably most likely to be exempted since it’s 60% of American energy imports.
It’s 25% of everything from Canada, that’s going to have some impacts. Less on the US side but not negligible. Canada is flat fucked if this happens.

I took an edible once out of curiosity, and that shit turned me into a damn vegetable for hours, to the point where when I filled a pot with water to boil some rice, I just stared at the water as it went from room temperature to boiling without doing anything else. I've drunk pretty heavily before, and even at my most shitfaced I was still more responsive than when I was high. (Don't take this as me saying "weed is bad, so alcohol good", I'm saying "alcohol is bad, weed is worse".)
That experience really changed my view of weed. I used to have a Libertarian "as long as it doesn't hurt anybody, you do you" view, but nowadays I think the only people who should use weed are those who have medical need of it in order to not suffer, such as people with debilitating chronic pain or parkinson's. Somebody who does that shit on a regular basis just to "relax" might as well be a walking corpse. I don't see myself doing it again.
Back me up!

Trump announces new ‘External Revenue Service’ to collect tariff funds
Edit: oops, hit post. That's what I get for phone posting.
Also, article isn't showing more than first 2 paragraphs.
I think they might be editing the article. I guess everyone is fumbling.

President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday he will create a new “External Revenue Service” to collect revenue from tariffs, a signal of his determination to impose sweeping duties on imports.
In a post on Truth Social, his social media platform, Trump said the “External Revenue Service” will collect revenue from tariffs starting Monday, after he is inaugurated for a second term. The structure of the new government operation was unclear from his post, although two outside advisers, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss matters they weren’t authorized to share publicly, suggested it could involve renaming an existing office within the Treasury Department.
Trump’s statement reflected his long-standing desire to enact far-reaching tariffs on imports, despite numerous reports that his advisers are discussing more limited plans than he proposed during the 2024 presidential campaign. Trump campaigned for president on tariff rates of as high as 20 percent on every imported good. Some estimates have projected those could raise hundreds of billions of dollars in new revenue, although economists warn they could also reignite inflation and raise prices, particularly for low-income consumers.
“For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Through soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves. It is time for that to change,” Trump said on Truth Social. “I am today announcing that I will create the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE to collect our Tariffs, Duties, and all Revenue that come from Foreign sources. We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share.”
His announcement Tuesday sparked immediate confusion about how such an office would work in practice. U.S. Customs and Border Protection currently administers tariff policy, which is set by the president and Congress. Importers self-classify and declare the value of their goods, and CBP officials review and audit that paperwork before collecting any duties, penalties and fees, according to the Congressional Research Service. Those funds are deposited into the U.S. general fund run by the Treasury Department. The U.S. government collected about $80 billion in tariffs and duties in 2023, according to a White House estimate last year.
But some supporters of Trump’s policies say a new Treasury division focused on tariff revenue could help ensure the effectiveness of his proposals. Charles Benoit, a trade attorney at the Coalition for a Prosperous America, which supports higher tariffs, said Treasury is not sufficiently focused on ensuring tariff revenue is maximized.
Benoit also said news reports are consistently underestimating the push by Trump and Howard Lutnick, Trump’s pick to lead the Commerce Department, to enact major new import duties. The Washington Post previously reported Trump’s aides are studying new tariffs only on critical imports, though they would apply to all countries. Bloomberg News reported this week that Trump was also considering a gradual set of tariff policies on all sectors.
“Why doesn’t anybody else understand we’re all-in for tariffs for revenue? He keeps saying it again and again,” Benoit said. “Trump and Lutnick are clearly all-in on tariffs for revenue, but most people have not adopted that paradigm yet.”
Benoit added that Treasury has “nobody left who even thinks about tariff revenue — someone has to, and Trump gets that.”
Critics say Trump’s announcement reflected his desire to try to disguise the fact that tariffs amount to a tax on U.S. households. Trump frequently suggests foreign countries pay the price for tariffs, but in reality importers pay the duties, and most economists say businesses pass on much of the cost by raising prices.
“We already have a customs and border agency that collects tariff revenue,” said Kimberly Clausing, who served as a top economist in President Joe Biden’s Treasury Department and is now at UCLA and the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a Washington-based think tank. “All evidence suggests U.S. buyers of imports bear the burden of tariffs. This is all about Trump’s desire to mask a tax increase as something that would instead be paid by foreigners.”

Fair enough. USA only imports less than $30b from Africa so probably not as impactful. Compared to $430b from Canada, $480b from Mexico, and $170b from South America.
