US Israeli Embassy Moving To Jerusalem

[Newenglanddeac]

Well this is a promising start...

It sounds like the audio cut out on his mic.

Nah

 

[WFFaithful]

The pathway to peace always involves construction on disputed land.

 

[birdman]

So we've been wanting to do this for 20 years, but we've never had the balls to do it till now? Big swinging dick Murica is BACK.

No, Newt Gingrich's republican congress stupidly interfered with foreign policy 20 years ago and the executive has had to keep the peace and undo it every 6 months.

pff, have you guys seen LA lately?

This better be the most protected embassy imaginable. This will be a huge target, but maybe that is what trump wants.

 

[Louis Gossett Jr]

Sounds like a "yeahhhh we'll prob back off this" statement to me but whatev maybe it will happen

Was there a question that beget that answer from Spicer? Because if the question was "are you moving the US embassy to Jerusalem" a response of "we are at the very beginning stages of even discussing this subject" is at most a punt of the issue, and certainly not a confirmation

Tintin will point out fake news

Tintin is Vanessa hudgens, made that my aim name as an inside joke as a youth and just kept it when I first made accounts. This post fact world is nuts man, so many untruths spread by liberals

Solid work here.

So tintin's screen name is calling a 14 year old hot?

Clearly you've found the right party.

Jerusalem: Trump move prompts negative world reaction

How The World Is Reacting To Trump Recognizing Jerusalem As Israel's Capital

Let’s see...right-leaning Israeli leaders, for...rest of the world, against. Shocking.

 

[DistrictDeacon]

...also, what concessions did we get from Israel for this...?

Deal maker extraordinaire.

Trump got $25 million from Sheldon Adelson to do it.

Statement from the brother of the King of Jordan. Historically one our closest allies in the Middle East.

 

[ConnorEl]

Hard to not imagine Trump is simply eager to gin up a real conflagration between the US + Israel and the Muslim world. And I guess hoping a lot of the West jumps in with us. And Russia?

Good grief.

Yep. It's the exact same "strategy" he's used here in the US.

Piss off your enemies and divide the country/world into two sides pitted against each other.

 

[PhDeac]

It's beyond divide and conquer. Trump picks targets people already don't like and builds antipathy for them to consolidate his power.

 

[Liquid Karma]

Pretty obvious he wants war against the Arab world.

Those CA fires are hellacious.

My wife’s sister and her family lost most everything when their home in Santa Rosa burned to the ground several weeks ago.

My father-in-law was closing next week on a home on the hills above Ventura—it’s now gone. Thank goodness before the closing. Still quite crazy.

 

[HoosierDeac]

Seems like a mini-stroke or TIA to my untrained eye.

 

[deacvision7]

I'm just so sad.

 

[pinochadeac]

Did the media freak out when Obama said it?
