Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Lmao, even
Sheldon had a lifetime total donation figure of $273 million, while as of the publishing of their profile, Miriam had a total of $284 million.[6]
Miriam Adelson has been described by major news outlets, including Reuters and Bloomberg, as a significant financial supporter of pro-Israel political causes in the United States, contributing substantial funding to Republican-aligned political initiatives and organizations supporting U.S.–Israel relations.
Wow.
MAGA will absolutely not shut up about George Soros and Jewish conspiracies, but… this is okay?
It’s what’s so frustrating.
It seems the Democrat side absolutely revels in peeling each other apart (see: Lemmy), but US Republicans have horse blinders on. Their leaders can do no wrong; unity comes first. They will rail and rail and rail on something the Democrats are doing when their own party is already doing it too.
…I know why, or at least I think I do.
It all ties into “worship culture” and parasocial relationships like the evangelical church, talk radio, Tech Bros, and similar structures that seem to occur more in conservative zones. It’s a pseudo-religious “unity and belief” mindset.
…And Democrat’s indulgence in ragebait. And tribalism.
But it’s still crazy. Democrats will eat each other alive over some tiny detail or controversy, but even raging internet antisemites, who proudly follow Trump, will slide their eyes right over this little detail.
"I never got why everyone hated the mass-and-child-rapist, but now that he doesnt want to murder iranians anymore... I get it now."
Except it isn’t that he doesn’t want to murder iranians any more. It’s that he put himself in a lose-lose situation and he somehow doubled down and made the loss even worse.
You could have been the greatest president of all
No, he couldn't have
You betrayed us, the Israelis.
I realize I don't necessarily speak for all of my fellow Americans when I say this, but I could not possibly care less if Israelis feel betrayed by Trump. He's not your president, it's not your government, go fuck yourselves.
But he is the President they paid for! Doesn't that count at least a bit?
I'm sorry but you're past the 90 day return policy. Best I can do is a discount on the next president you purchase.
Buy two presidents, get one governor free!

"betrayed the Israelis"... Why does America owe Israel anything?
My first Reddit ban was for attempting to ask that question in the most politically neutral way possible.
Completely unrelated but hindsight being 20/20 the warning signs were always there with moderated centralized forums like reddit.
I have my same reddit acct I've had for 15+ years. I'm banned from few aubreddits but my first and most memorable was from AskReddit for doxxing myself. To remove the ban they told me I had to draw a picture of some stupid shit like a giraffe in a Santa hat because it was Christmas or something. That was when I realized I don't want anything to do with these stupid ass moderators power tripping over a users engagement on a forum. Absolutely asinine.
Mine was for saying only, "Israel is the Devil" Wait, that was twitter actually my bad. Fucking reddit did a bunch of dishonest enforecements against me because of Israel though.
yeah, I'd also ask: what more could we give them that hasn't been given already? also, it just illustrates how there's no offramp, no future peace with this government - Bibi knows only perpetual war will keep him in power, and maybe out of jail, so they're all out for it and thought trump would be dumb enough to go even further.
it's pretty mind boggling. he is really dumb tho so...maybe they think they can neg him into it? fuck....
The “enlightened world” is clearly one which regards themselves as superior and other “less enlightened” people as deserving of genocide.
If that president could read he'd be very upset
How can a US president betray "Israelis". He's not their president, and America is not their mommies. We owe them exactly nothing. They should get off our tit, and we'd like all the nuclear materials they stole from us returned immediately.
Without the large amount of material and monetary support America provides to keep Israel's military the strongest in the region, they would get steamrolled by their neighbors. Probably not immediately, but it would be inevitable. Note that I'm not saying anything about whether this is right or wrong from any ethical point of view in any direction, simply that it absolutely would happen. For whatever reason it has consistently been the policy of the American government not to let this happen.
Israel's very existence as a modern state has been, shall we say, deeply unpopular with its Arab neighbors literally since day one.
the reason is that its free surveillance on the rest of the region. USA wants to keep an eye on countries they seem hostile and their interests (oil).
They also give our surveillance state their surveillance tech and cyberweapons they developed using Palestinians as guinea pigs. They host our police departments and teach them how to treat our citizenry like Palestinians as well.
Mr. Scorpion, we could've been across the river by now but instead we're both drowning to death
– the frog
Do we tell them that he is the POTUS? Israeli interests should not be something we care about

Fuck Adelson, that bitch. She is the fucking devil.
Fuck Trump and Fuck Israel.
I've never felt the need for the "we are not the same" meme before reading this .
Trump is a dumb mother fucker but Israel has their own dumb mother fucker. The fact that he feels “betrayed” is quite telling about who wanted this shit in the first place.
How did Israel transition from a US base in the Middle East into the country that visibly holds the keys? Blackmail? Money? Religion? What the hell happened?
I find myself asking this question more and more... But not just the US. How the fuck does Israel have so much power over so many countries. Like just look at the UK and how they're treating anyone even protesting for Palestine. It's insane how much power they have over so many countries... I just don't understand how.
A giant honeypot operation whose goal was to ensnare as many prominent politicians and business leaders as they could into raping children.

All of the above.
Money. Politics is always all about money. Not ideals/virtues. Not borders. Not cultures. Not ideas. Not what the people need.
All of the above
Gotta be the Epstein blackmail?
Ghislaines dad was an Israeli agent
It's so insane. It's just blatant they dictate our foreign policy at this point.

Israelis will blow wherever the wind blows. Don't let them convince you that they're totally checking anti drumpf progressives in November when suddenly every other D is taking their money. They will lie, cheat, and steal to keep the US-Zion Siphon going.
That op-ed is from a different author, in a different newspaper, over a decade ago. Not sure what it proves other than "different Israelis have held contrasting political opinions at various points in time."
That's crazy! Next you'll try to tell us that there's a nation who has elected both Trump and Obama as president!

If the "enlightened" world is totally on board with genocide then we are so fucked.
Trump< /could/ have been the best president of all time!? By those standards, where literally anything is possible, it could have been a dismembered hand on a tek deck. Just as likely.
Ffs. For him to have become the best President of all time. He'd have to become a fundamentally new person with almost exclusively opposite traits.
What a stupid fucking article written by a stupid piece of shit. Any and every president could have been the greatest if they made the right decisions.
