It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.

      But the genocidal president promised us a better economy or something! What’s a little cultural oppression if it means cheaper eggs at the grocery store?

          Are you fucking joking? Are you not watching what’s happening? Do you not realize we’ve mobilized OUR military? The middle east is a ticking time bomb and all the players are in position. We’re closer to ww3 under biden than we EVER were from trump. But go ahead, tell me I’m wrong.

        More like the one protecting the entire western world from Islamic jihad expanding more.

        There’s a reason the leadership of the civilized world has lined up against the Palestinians here. This is a zero sum game BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION, with Israel being the first target. They even say Jordan is next. It’s wild people are supporting them but not believing them.

          Oh, just like in 2001 when ‘radical Islam’ hated our freedom so we had to invade Iraq? You can say the same about the goal for Israeli leadership, they have long made it clear they don’t support a solution that allows Palestine to exist, they want the idea and the people gone. If they got rid of Palestine you don’t think they’d have new targets?

          What do you even mean Jordan is next?

              The righty think-tank justifications and quasi intellectual support for the war began immediately after 9/11, before even. Shhhhiiit, we already done it once.

            Actually though it wasn’t them that rejected the two state solution, Arafat and now Hamas have been very clear ‘from the river to the sea’ they will not accept a two state solution or any form of existence for Israel

            Edit - downvoting literal facts won’t change them

            Except for the fact Iraq wasn’t calling for the death of all Americans as part of their charter. It’s nothing alike, this is more like if Mexico started attacking America every single day and said it wouldn’t stop until every American was dead.

            The leadership of Hamas has said clearly that Israel is the start, they intend to take Jordan next. They’ve already tried and failed in Jordan.

            Israel has offered something like a dozen internationally backed peace agreements. Each one has been rejected by the Palestinians who refused to acknowledge Israel as a country. What do you mean they’ve long made it clear? They’ve made offers over the past twenty years… they left Gaza entirely in that time. They’re not trying now, but they’ve certainly tried plenty over the years.

            Considering Israel has returned land that it’s acquired in conflicts, they’ve shown they’re not interested in crossing into Jordan, Egypt and the like. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an argument they’re trying to be expansionist beyond the west bank or what their hard right would consider their biblical borders, that’s a weird one. Their push to the river is clearly a defensive maneuver to rid itself of a threat that can strike its capital. Peace would eliminate that argument and most Israelis are in favor of leaving the wb and the strip entirely.

                No lie, just Jew hate. People refuse to accept that the propaganda they’ve swallowed isn’t backed by the historical record.

                Mother fuckers out there claiming Jesus was a Palestinians Arab FFS. Dude died before Islam was even a thing. It’s wild watching the disinformation flying around these days.

            I never said it was but… Palestinian= Hamas as it is comprised of Palestinians so calling Hamas Palestinian isn’t incorrect in any way shape or form.

                Did I miss when America elected the KKK? I’m not American, I might have not seen that on the history Channel…

                So not the same thing, not even remotely close to the same thing.

                  “Palestinians elected Hamas” isn’t the gotcha that you think it is. Palestine hasn’t had a free election since 2006, when Hamas postured themselves as the moderate party against the liberal Fatah, who were embroiled in a corruption scandal at the time. As soon as Hamas took power, they shifted to fundamentalism and ceased elections.

                  There are people living in Palestine right now who have never had a say in their own government because they weren’t born when the current regime took power.

                    I’m not saying it as a gotcha, I’m stating it as a fact. Hamas is Palestinian, made up of Palestinians and currently representing the Palestinian people to the world.

                    It’s not wrong to say Hamas is Palestinian, it’s 100% accurate and truthful.

                    Hamas existed well before they were elected, their founding Charter is based on Islamic jihadism. You’re not so ignorant as to believe that the people of Gaza weren’t aware of this when electing them, and if you are then please get off tik tok and touch some grass.

            Yes that’s who Israel is fighting, it’s a tragedy that innocent Palestinians are caught in the cross fire but when Hamas won’t let them leave it’s very difficult to avoid casualties.
