Someone please steelman this for me. What's the reason to NOT designate them as terror organizations? US overreach into another country makes sense. What else?
"We have no choice but to delegate AfD as a terrorist organization, as the good people of Germany may make the horrific mistake of voting them in shortly despite all reasonable attempts at fortifying the elections to prevent Putin from stealing it. As such we shall be upholding our NATO obligations to begin the tough, but necessary, task of removing all known AfD members from European soil via whatever means necessary. Drones were launched 5 minutes ago. Remember, Democracy means Democrats -- or their equivalents -- win, always." - Kamala Harris, the 48th President of the United States, January 22, 2029.
 
Okay. That's hilarious. God, I love Trump for moments like this. He's not fucking around anymore.
Political decorum was always about the veneer of quid pro quo, I do a thing you want, you do a thing I want. The establishment made it very clear that they will never do anything trump wants, no matter how much of what they want he gives them. So he's not pretending to play the game with the people who already quit, its so funny to watch.
 
"See you in court."
to do what, say that the executive branch can't set executive branch standards? what the fuck are you intending to sue over?
The argument would be that withholding all funding is coercive and violates the Dole test. But there are lots of legal means to pursue Maine on the basis of existing sex discrimination statutes so the whole “I will withhold all funding” might be an opening gambit to disguise targeted legal attacks with more grounding.
 
Trump's hostage envoy Adam Boehler demands release of all hostages: "If I have one piece of advice for Hamas now-- if I were them I'd release everybody or they're going to face total annihilation right now." Hamas is still holding one American citizen hostage and the bodies of four others.

They're going to be facing complete destruction soon regardless.

Hamas kidnapped the Bibas family (9 month old baby boy, 4 year old boy, father, and mother) on October 7th. In November of 23 they forced the father to claim in a video that the Bibas kids and mother were killed in an airstrike. The father was released as part of a hostage deal. Israel got the bodies of the rest of the family yesterday. Hamas made a huge party of transferring the bodies. Turns out the two boys were strangled to death in November of 23 and then mutilated to the point where the forensic doctors examining the corpse got sickened. What Hamas said was the mother's corpse was the corpse of some random woman, the mother is still missing.

The other body that was handed over was that of Oded Lifshitz. Oded was an 83 year old peace activist who spoke Arabic and advocated for Palestinian children. He spent his time volunteering to drive Gazan children from the gaza border crossing to the hospital. When his coffin was shown in the ceremony that Hamas did before handing off the coffins, Gazan children were shrieking with joy at the sight of a dead Jews coffin.

After that, Hamas planted bombs in 5 buses and a children's water park in Israel, some of which which detonated early because the terrorists set the detonation time as 9 pm instead of 9 am.

There's a major war coming soon.
 
Oh yes, a hearing.

Why? Why do we need a hearing?

He said "Declassify and release ALL files.

ALL

EACH

EVERY

Why do we have to have a Congressional hearing to do this. Just send Wikileaks in there, we'd have them to read this weekend.
I think there's a chance they would do that if they just wanted to have them quietly released. But if you're the admin that's going to deboonk the JFK assassination once and for all (assuming good faith), I'd sure as shit would want credit for that. So that means press conferences, public speeches from Trump, the whole nine yards. And look at the current news cycle; any other year and JFK being declassified would be major news that would eat up all public attention for months. But the Ukraine negotiations and the DOGE axings are sucking up 100% of the oxygen in the room, so why not sit on it a little while, get it all neat and organized in a nice presentation so you can show off to the entire country "That faggot LBJ hired the mafia to do it and the CIA helped"
 
There's a major war coming soon.
hey i haven't been paying attention to the thread, have you or anyone else on the farms mentioned what happens if Hamas can't hand over the bodies because the people already fucking died? like even my morning zoo radio show i listen to before work brought this up, like i assume that has had to have happened at least to one of the hostages.

I think you’re correct, some US troops are getting moved around. I think he’s going to flatten them. I’d rather not be involved but I’m not going to shed any tears for the Palestinians.
 
Turns out Kiwi Farmers tend to have jobs that require them to work during the day. Meanwhile, I remember the feddit activity graphs being the exact opposite. Not that it was a stretch to say that Kiwifarmers are more effective than the US Government, but its nice to have data to back it up.
I work evenings and nights, don't be a hater *sigh*
