Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory Monday, saying that “the time has come” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

    Cool story.

    So you know, both the LGBTQ and women’s rights are going to take a HUGE hit now as a result of their smug little protest votes. Oh… and Palestine is either going to be occupied, or become a crater. Same with Ukraine- so… victory! Right? We certainly learned our lesson at the expense of a shit ton of innocent lives…

    But as long as they can feel morally superior, right?

    I’m not arguing this any further.

      So the Democrats, who actively told their left wing to fuck off with any demands, are not the ones at fault for not doing the thing that would win them the election. It’s instead the fault of random unknown and vague people in your head at fault. Literally millions with their own reasons. Not the campaign with the ability to respond to these demands.

      Great strategy bubby. Top tier strategy. How many elections is that winning?

      Nah, instead of changing gears and doing something that works you’d rather whine, blame, guilt, and otherwise make an ass of yourself.
