Trump got him out of jail and his party got angry at him for it. So his partisan DOJ of course is opening the investigation.

He’s not innocent but this is also politically motivated. They wouldn’t do this if it wasn’t for Trump meddling. I miss having an independent DOJ.

Sure but they’ll stop trying to be silly and get more serious (albeit hateful).

As Chris Rock said, if a homeless guy has a funny sign, he hasn’t been homeless for long.

Doesn’t this need an act of Congress to enact?

Sure you can. When Trump breaks them and makes them poor, they’ll have to stop trolling and get serious. A ton of them are starting to wise up and pressure their congressional representatives to do something.

Because Trump is getting demented. This is all his idea

Stealing the top comment:

See what’s sad is that there could be real national security reasons for the FBI/DOJ actions, but because the pattern lately has been un-uniformed randos detaining people in the streets (and then disappearing them), I’m fresh out of benefits of the doubt for the government here.

If they’re the subject of a criminal investigation, say so. If they’re not, then explain why nobody has heard from these people in seemingly weeks. Are they green card holders? US citizens?

There’s no way for carmakers to absorb tariffs AND increase jobs with the reduced revenue.

He can’t even cherish California, what makes anyone believe him?

Impossible, Trump promised us all he would end the war in 24 hours, likely before even taking office.

This is the best preventative measure they can do for now. Musk and other actors can dump massive amounts of money into elections to sway them and many of these democracies haven’t been challenged from outside like this before.

If the world sanctioned Russia for Ukraine, the US will be sanctioned a lot worse.

Trump: the innocent shall suffer!

This simply won’t end here. RFK wanted vaccines pulled off the market. (He may put on a show during his confirmation and lie and pretend now he loves them though)

Antivaxxers have spent the last 4 years claiming that vaccines cause people to “shed” vaccine particles or spike proteins. They’re blaming miscarriages, autism, and actual covid on this mythical shedding and some have tried to ban vaccinated people from businesses and homes. They’ll try to ban vaccines to stop this delusion.

No we all boycott Tesla until there’s a 50% drop in sales and hope the shareholders and board force him out.

How many sanctions do you expect from Trump?

That’s a ridiculous question. A person who leaves a penny as a tip did give more than a person who left no tip at all, but you’re mad that they aren’t being praised for that penny? Or are you arguing that a penny is significant? Sanctioning just 7 people while continuing to arm and fund hundreds of thousands of illegal settlers who are openly committing violence and obstructing peace is useless and frankly more insulting than any actual help.

We all know Trump is bad. We lived through it. I was in Palestine while Trump was in office. It was grim. But if Netanyahu had decided to actually go through with his cabinet’s open talk of cleaning out Gaza, Biden would have publicly defended him and gone along with it, because he refused to ever criticize Netanyahu in public. Obama actually proposed meaningful sanctions on Israelis and Biden privately argued against them and as VP he publicly undermined Obama on the issue. That’s not an appreciable improvement over Trump who just says the bigoted and extreme stuff out loud and is functionally the same.

Biden sanctioned only 7 settlers. Not 7 per illegal settlement, or 7 per day, 7 settlers in total. In the first 9 months of 2023 before the war, settlers killed over 240 Palestinians and set 3 West Bank towns on fire, and it’s on video with the IDF standing by and not intervening. Prosecutors decline to prosecute any Israeli settlers despite the evidence.

A stupid weak policy that did nothing as Israel complained and Biden cut the sanctions down to 5 people after the settlers sued him, then Trump reversed it. That was your evidence of what exactly? Biden being useless? It’s the equivalent of leaving a penny as a tip. You’re going to argue it counts as something useful?

Biden should go down in history as a pathetic president on this issue.

That’s not evidence. I don’t see any mention of how Biden got Netanyahu to cave on anything. If anything it appears Trump got him to agree to the plan that Hamas already agreed to back in May.

What will New York City do now?

It doesn’t sound like any major differences than what Hamas agreed to last summer but Netanyahu publicly backed away from. The deaths are on him.

Headline is misleading. He was jailed for inciting religious hatred against a minority, in a country where there have been riots and pogroms against minorities.
