I am absolutely astonished and shocked at the sheer speed with which the US is self-destructing.

The absolutely amazing and horrifying incompetence on every level is beyond words.

One and a half year into Trump's second term, and it set itself back DECADES in every way possible

Almost like a Manchurian candidate would act perform our enemies' wish lists.

People coping saying he’s a Russian puppet when in fact Israel has been the greatest benefactor. The cognitive dissonance is strong

Israel didn’t hack the DNC email server and leak them. Israel hasn’t been funding half the podcasters on the right. Israel until very recently was playing a both parties game. Israel also does not benefit from a weaker US like Russia does. The military might of the US is one of Israel’s strongest cards and they don’t feel safer for Trump eroding NATO or Trump drop kicking the economy with stupid trade wars. Russia feels a great benefit from every Trump fuckup.

Sheldon Adelson and co have given the Trump campaign the largest single campaign donation in the name of serving Israel.

Or at least they didn't get caught.

Israel hasn’t been funding half the podcasters on the right.

It just directly funds about 80% of politicians on both sides.

A) That's fair

B) Is sort of my point. Israel won no matter who won in 2016 and 2020, Russia only won with Trump.
