Agreed. There are masters calling the shots who these people are kowtowing to. It sickens me that the real people ruling the word hide behind these puppets and that we have zero say over their policies, let alone their rule.
But that's no defense for Trump (2nd term), Biden (Senator & VP), and myriad others who've broken their campaign promises. What it TRULY shows is that they ALL will lie in order to get into power in order to serve their primary master, Israel.
I disagree that the average American believes they themselves have principles, even if mistaken about it. They have preferences and feelings. And they love to loathe the other side. It's about as serious and realistic as sports fandom - and every bit as rational. Politicians are merely meeting voters on what is common ground.
Recognize the similarities between Trump after 2024 and Obama after 2008. A lot of people were fooled in both cases. Never put your faith in any politician, they will ALWAYS disappoint. Instead, put your faith in yourself and your local community.
Bidens Admin's assaults on free speech were secret. WH, FBI, DOJ et al. And would have remained secret but for Musk buying Twitter, now X.
Trump Admin's "anti-free speech actions" are public. They are being contested in the courts. Time will tell of their legality.
Universities taking "the king's gold" must accept the strings attached or forego the money. Permitting assaults on their students is wrong-- but Columbia and others lacked principal.
"Universities taking 'the king's gold' must accept the strings attached or forego the money." -- NOT if those "strings" are unconstitutional. Yes, the Biden Admin broke the law by exerting influence over tech companies, but this Admin is doing the same thing with Higher Ed. As with the last Admin, it won't end well for this Admin either. D or R, it doesn't matter. They're all corrupt as f#@k.
However...keep paying attention. The word is: Israel is being saved for last. Look at it this way: If WE know the truth about Netayahu, SO DOES THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. How much do you know about The Children?
It's only right that Israel is being saved for last. This will be made clear in the very near future.
This is a bit of a odd take only because you’d have to be living in a different reality to believe any of those things to begin with, Trumps first term was extremely pro war and imperialist he out drone striked Obama of all people and dropped the MOAB and let’s not even get into how obviously anti free speech this man has always been lol he sues anyone and everyone who even makes a joke at his expense he’s a bitch always has been and he serves the same capitalist ruling class as Harris and the democrats do
It's not hatred to point out the hypocrisy, duplicity, and broken promises. I voted for him, and I'm growing more disillusioned and angry with him and members of his team (who I cheered when the Senate confirmed them) with every passing day. Just goes to show, D or R, it doesn't matter.
This isn't just Trump's depravity. Obama did the same thing when we voted for him to stop bombing the two countries we were bombing when he was elected and he increased the number of countries to seven. All of the many administrations before Trump made similar decisions which eventually brought us Trump.
We had better not fool ourselves that "things will get better when we get rid of Trump" because we are ignoring the steps that went before that brought us Trump as the logical conclusion of our mistakes.
U.S. democracy is in a death spiral because the electoral system has been compromised by legalized bribery of elected and appointed officials by foreign governments.
It was always team politics after all. It is just depressing to read respected Substack contributors who glorified free speech and no wars fall right in line with Trump. Brian Berletic was right. This is only continuity of government with only a different lens, singing in a different key.
It can not be underestimated the amount of kompromat that Israel has on all of those you mentioned and so many more. For all intents and purposes they own them. They can’t make a single decision that Israel hasn’t approved. If they do, it will be walked back very quickly.
Biden did the same. As did every single goddamn CongressPerson! Including my spineless genociders Senators Murray & Cantwell and Rep Strickland. Obedient to the oligarchs!
It’s almost like the second after swearing in, they are briefed on who their real masters are.
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

"It still shocks me how partisan hacks in American politics don’t actually believe in anything as a principle."
Are you 15? Virtually no one in politics has principles.

Add this: Trump is now so butt-hurt that Putin won't kowtow to him that he's talking about more sanctions. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-angry-putin-zelenskyy-iran-sanctions-rcna198729
Good try--but a miss.

What?
Thank You Dissident
They do exactly what Netanyahu demands under direct threat of assassination.
I agree.

Me too
Cool well then I hope he can get his shit together and turn it around
Sad to see such Trump hatred
I just hold people accountable for their actions 🤷🏼♂️

Be patient and don’t watch network news

Pitiful article
Odd take for a Useful Idiot's and Chris Hedges reader.
You have a reason for that? Because it goes against your indoctrinated ideology?
Biden did the same. As did every single goddamn CongressPerson! Including my spineless genociders Senators Murray & Cantwell and Rep Strickland. Obedient to the oligarchs!
It’s gonna be tough to drain the swamp at this rate.
Just like his first term, it looks like we've been duped again.
Great stuff. Sad, sick administration.
Much like all of them, my entire life.
