Add getting the Trump bucks during the initial COVID waves and I don't know what else to say than he's materially the best president weve had in my life.

I mean it really shows how useless and evil the Democrats are more than anything. It's fucking wild

(Obviously it's not over yet, not getting ahead of myself, but this is the most progress we've seen by a long shot)

edit: folks it should be obvious i dont think he is doing this as a good thing or that it's not going to be a double edged sword. i'm just saying look at biden and compare.

Trump is only indirectly causing a deal because of his isolationism

At the risk of going a little conspiracy-brained, I think attributing this to isolationism is a facile reading. I don't think Trump actively colluded with anyone but it's reasonable to assume that Netanyahu did what he could to drag out the negotiations knowing that a ceasefire would be good for the dems politically but, even so, they wouldn't try to apply any leverage to get an agreement in place. Bibi needed the ceasefire because the genocide is destroying Israel's economy, but he also needs Hamas because they're how he holds onto power. So while the agreement looks like a loss for Israel and like Trump had to twist their arm, it's still a win for Netanyahu. Now they can quietly annex the West Bank once the world stops paying attention and go back to the slow genocide in Gaza, which the Trump admin won't do anything to prevent.

yeah i mostly agree with this. it is partially what i'm talking about. bibi saw trump as ok here's someone i can reasonably say "he talked me into it" to, whereas with biden and harris, who kept shouting for israel to kill all Palestinians, there isn't a way to not look weak.

this is why the democrats suck so fucking bad

Yeah, it is impressive how many ways they've managed to be awful.
