So cute and coy. Ever the kidder.
“Scowling guy” waits for his gag order and dutifully keeps his remarks inside the margins. I can’t imagine Al Capone doing that. Bigger fish to fry, retaliation can wait till I get another election to steal. Good to have goals.
What if anything did moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem during Trumps reign do to stoke the current war in Israel?
Recall how the media played the move as a campaign promise to high roller donors that were Evangelical and wanted this in place for the rapture to take place. What a crock. For someone it’s win win I’m sure, here we are. The push to make the move had been made and for sometime but never done, for national security reasons. Whose? Perhaps us all. This link explains the Evangelical thoughts better than I can, along with some background on the Congressional vote to move.
I have heard cries that Biden is somehow to blame for the crises. I am reminded of many exchanges I had as a florist prior to the pandemic as flowers had been ploughed under and we waited for a new season, many seasons for a good variety of roses and lilies to become available. I wore the 2 and 3 star reviews for the pandemic. So, blame, it’s unhelpful but somewhere there’s a name for it when you do something and then you get marked for it. You know, like at a university. But not that thing where you get fired, or step down first. Hmmm, if it’s a bad thing you do, you don’t get hired, rehired, a good review or recommended. That’s not blame, it’s merit and leads to understanding how we got here wherever here is in a given broken time.
Hate speech is hate. Said by anyone at anytime. Reasons have nothing to do with the act of hate speech. Hate speech isn’t blame either. It’s hate in the vocal form. It usually comes before, after and during some kind of deeper more intrusive violence.
There’s probably no coming together in our problems and perhaps we can make some changes around that. We will need to as we get sorted and move on from this low point. Consider it a theme inspired challenge by Israel-Hamas relations everyone seems able to solve yet fingers pointing.
Thanks for being here. ❤️ I wouldn’t be here without you.
