He keeps referring to them as "hostages"- while in the same room as the families of actual October 7th hostages.

Meanwhile hostages on both sides are due to be released via ceasefire (the only way that hostages get released without an IDF bullet to the head or back) and Israel has already arrested 60 more on the release of 90 while thousands of Palestinian hostages remain in Israel not even referred to as such

It is just wild that in the context of geopolitics Trump is not the worst thing happening because his own self interest may as a complete coincidence just for his own self image save more lives than "The lesser evil". That the bar is THAT low in the political kayfabe

It will be an important objective to re-write what happened on 6th Jan, as part of his “legacy”. That is why he won’t refer to them by their correct description of correctly convicted prisoners, or insurrectionists.

It's so disrespectful. Somehow he's worse than I expected.

That’s because he’s a fucking moron, but you know that, we all know that. I think the left should just starve these arseholes of the oxygen of publicity they crave so much. Just shut them down, talk about the good things that are happening instead

Lol such as?
Unfortunately moving from geopolitics to national to economics to industry to local and frankly the only "good things happening" would be talking about pets or personal lives.
At which point we aren't "left" we're a-political sticking our heads in the sand...
Which I'm not against.

Such as MLK Day, and pets, and grandchildren, and cakes, and small random acts of kindness. Anything but these fucking swivel-eyed loons
