What a shit! I swear I can’t be surprised and generally ignore his antics but there’s always another, scummier, act.

      I gotcha,…

      ISRAEL LENT SEVERAL antiquities to the White House in 2019, including ancient clay lamps for a White House Hanukkah event. Unfortunately, Donald Trump was president at the time, which means the artifacts are now at Mar-a-Lago, and Israel can’t figure out how to get them back, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.
      The artifacts were only supposed to be in Washington, D.C., for a few weeks. Israel Hasson, then the director of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, told Haaretz that because they are so valuable, he wanted someone to pick them up instead of having them shipped overseas. The pandemic derailed these plans, and the artifacts remained in the White House. Israeli authorities learned several months ago that they wound up at Mar-a-Lago.
      Eli Eskozido, who took over for Hasson at the Israeli Antiquities Authority, has solicited the help of the Israeli government and Trump’s former U.S. ambassador to the nation in his efforts to retrieve the artifacts — to no avail.
      Somehow, the former president stealing ancient Israeli artifacts isn’t surprising. Trump all but ransacked the White House on his way out of office, most notably absconding with hundreds of classified documents. Trump was criminally indicted for his handling of the documents in June, and yet still thinks he’s entitled to the sensitive material. Rolling Stone reported late last month that he was demanding his lawyers figure out how to get “my documents” back after the government retrieved them, even as it became clear he would be indicted for hoarding them.

          Reminds me of the time a version of him refused to work with and tried to kill a version of Red Skull when he found out the dude was an actual Nazi rather than just cosplaying one. “I may be a criminal lunatic, but I am an American criminal lunatic”. Which is an interesting take, dude’s a sometimes omnicidal maniac who has on multiple occasions tried to destroy all of reality, but at least he’s equal opportunity about it and it isn’t for racist reasons.

    Here’s a headline:

    “Cheeto guy commits felony, others suffer as a result.”

    Now that’s a headline no one expects!

    Trump is literally a 77 year old child and conservatives want this guy to be president. Holy hell, no one can be a Trump supporter and criticize any other president.

    Of course he did. The dude is a typical piece of shit criminal. He will do any crime he thinks he can get away with without a second thought because only cares about himself and literally nothing else.

      So far he has gotten away with all of the crimes, so it’s really working for him.

      Let’s hope the tide is changing on that, but I’m not holding my breath.

      I would like to suggest that the bot writes the title that it found and the time after the first sentance. e.g. “… The title that I found is ‘the scraped title’. …”

      IKR. It’s incorrigible, but it’s 100% on-brand. Ask anyone, “do you think Trump would steal ancient israeli artifacts from the whitehouse?”. Absolutely yes, that is exactly what Trump would do given the opportunity.

      That said, I don’t feel very sorry for the Israeli’s, they were just trying to suck up, Trump reciprocated with some incendiary statements in support of Israel IIRC, so it just sucks to be them really.

          ” The lamps were lent to the white house in 2019, before Trump took office.

          What? He took office in January 2017.

            Don’t, just don’t engage, you’ll end up arguing why trump couldn’t have written the constitution while single handedly defeating the nazis who weren’t actually that bad, just misunderstood.

            Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

            Just change anti-semite in this case to whatever the fuck redhats are now.

              Wow, I made a dumb, tired mistake regarding the year that Trump took office and now I’m an anti-semite? I don’t see how you can even make that leap, even though the subject had to do with Iseael. I wasn’t defending him, in fact, my mistaken comment was intended to point out that his actions were even worse.

              I’m not a Trumper and am certainly not an anti-semite. Don’t throw around accusations like that so casually. It’s dangerous for many reasons.
