This is so weird I can't even process it. I guess trump got his hotel and his jet and God knows what else. Is there no one in power holding anyone in this administration accountable? I'm no one and I know this is fishy af.

Is there no one in power holding anyone in this administration accountable?

No there is not. We saw with R in power they refuse to hold this admin accountable either in the previous term or this one, and with a captured SCOTUS who knows what will be admissible. If nothing comes of the midterms I'm nervous where we will be led in the 2 years after.

Future thoughts and prayers to the Idahoans who lose their lives when Israel attacks it.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why do you think Israel cares about Qatar?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I mean they had Gaza locked down but they're stilling killing Gazans.

My guess would be that once they run out of Gazans all the government, social, and media structures that lead them to shooting israeli children yesterday will probably not be dismantled so they'll repeat the process until it becomes a logistical problem. So yes, Qatar is small and might look like a good next target for Netanyahu.

The Israelis will go after Lebanon or Syria next. Qatar's of no use to them. And the Qataris quietly collude with the Israelis due to their common interest in preventing the rise of democracy in the Arab world.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 2 months ago

While you may be correct, I would expect the Levant to be the main Israeli objective right now. I'm guessing if Qatar is to be a target, searching P2025 document would have something about it.

I wonder how long before they use it as a ICE deportation stop.

Since it makes it a nearly perfect excuse for them. Ship people there, get them onto a plane labelled as Qatar, fly them out.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Probably about 45 seconds after opening...

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So this is what the plane bribe was for....

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Plane bribe and letting israel go in and kill hamas leaders for this

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

letting israel go in and kill hamas leaders

Along with a few tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

My thoughts exactly

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Everybody is laughing at the US

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Nervously...

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Very normal and very cool
