First off....here's to both Presidents for understanding and respecting, Democracy and not just shouting "Democracy!" when trump is in office.

In Democracy, in the end, the will of voters is to be respected and if not, their minds or hearts need to be changed. In their respective Decades, Presidents Clinton and Obama BOTH compromised. Clinton was PRO DEATH PENALTY. PRO 100,000 MORE COPS ON STREET. And while he did raise taxes on a higher bracket (not AMT/401K putzes--but the higher ones -lol) it was out of math. Need to bring in revenue. NOT wealth envy. His rhetoric - was strong against illegal immigration. His Welfare Reform - a fine compromise. He was anti gay marriage , and President Obama was also until later in his arc. Upon assuming office, Obama preserved the "Bush tax cuts for the rich" for quite awhile.


Credit to both men for respecting the voters wishes. And compromises on a FEW issues, and in return WINNING two terms and being able to do anything from Ruth Ginsburg and Sotomayor, to Affordable Care Act. (Not my favorite Justices, im just saluting political acumen and its rewards).

W did it - on prescription drugs for seniors.

Trump did it - on "free trade" .

But CLUB 401K SHEEPLE don't allow that today. They've ridden pronouns and other Lib fringe issues----into TWO Trump terms. PLUS a Biden term where Manchin's ass had to be kissed.

The BIGGEST CREDIT to Clinton and Obama: They knew that as President, their country was a slave to Israel. BUT ---they didn't totally kneel. They didn't totally accept the chains. The whippings. The pork out in back by the meat smoker.

Clinton didn't take NeoCon bullshit to some quagmire in Iraq. Clinton didn't let Chalabi make foreign policy.

Obama knew to get bin Laden -- and not alert "certain people" to America's impending military action within their borders.

Obama didn't always bow to Israel either.

So I salute both.


W Bush let Israel bend him over....

Trump is now letting Israel bend him over.


Both men arguably risk their Presidencies----over appeasing the world's user and manipulator.


Between Progressives and Young conservatives -- even though I may not like some of the rhetoric..... if it one day crafts a less severe degree of American Slavery to Israel ---- whether that is Massie or AOC --- I'm with you on that one.

In the meantime, Democrats and "Conservatives" especially can keep shouting "We love Israel!"---while Israel mocks your policy on abortion. While Israel spies on you. While Israel is cozy with China on many industrial fronts.

Conservatives----bent over by Wall Street. Bent over by HMOs. Bent over by Israel's.

C'mon guys, aren't we sore yet? Someone could drive a truck thru that thing after all we've been bent over.

You must be independently wealthy. People who criticize Israel and now branded an "anti-Semite" and cancelled. I commented last week, how TYT's streaming channel seems to have lost all of it's sponsors over it's being against this war for Israel.

Steve.....

Just like people who say "Stop squeezing out babies out of wedlock. Maybe put your net-worth into math tutoring like many other non-white demographics do, versus braids for the hair and tennis shoes" --- White Liberals who want to keep certain people poor----shout "racism" at that.


Accusations of "anti semite" are cheap.

And if being against ANY country manipulating ours, and killing our soldiers is "anti semite' - fine --- I guess that means I'd fit in with much of the world----in many dufrferent times of human history.

If people accuse me -- I dont care.

It's time others -- stop caring.

This is bipartisan---the tribes of America dont get that ---yet.
