Should anyone be suprised?

Trump, the same Trump that killed boarder legislation because he didn’t want to give biden a win?

Not him, no, never.

No, I’m surprised that Democrats pretend to care about Palestine when they’ve done nothing but kill them and then arm Saudi Arabia with weapons to bomb more innocent people

Republicans: “Bibi, please don’t stop slaughtering Arabs”

You: “Democrats aren’t opposing Republicans enough, this is their fault”.

“Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable with imprisonment for up to three years.”

I can only say: Lock him up!

I can only say: Lock him up!

…if convicted by a jury of his peers…

Pretrial detention would be appropriate for someone with a history of attempted witness intimidation and with the means to flee the country

Well yes ofcourse, I kinda forgot that’s not always to be taken for granted :-]

A jury of his peers could only be people that fail in business, sociopaths, pedophiles, and… former presidents?

A jury of his peers have convicted him before. It’s the judges he seated that are the biggest problem.

He’s already been convicted by one jury. It’s not impossible

Boy, if this had happened twice I’d have two nickels.

OH WAIT

Republicans just genuinely don’t have any original ideas.

I’m gonna need more than somebody’s social media post on this.

Edit: Because right now it’s “somebody’s” social media post with an unsourced and undated quote from “someone” referring to “reporting,” with a picture of a lady that has a PBS/NewsHour watermark. This is exactly the kind of thing you should be skeptical of in the absence of better confirmation, all up and down that ladder of vagueness.

Possible replacement for that twitter link, here’s an article discussing Woodruff’s comments - https://web.archive.org/web/20240820213405/https://newrepublic.com/post/185076/donald-trump-scheme-beat-kamala-harris-benjamin-netanyahu-ceasefire

I would delete it but it’s too relevant to the meme. Alternative link to the dnc footage would be nice, tho.

The rueters one doesn’t indicate anything about Trump talking to Bibi and discouraging him from setting up a peace deal.

To me it’s still relevant because it establishes that trump has an open line of communication to bibi and he is directly expressing to him his thoughts about the Genocide in Gaza.

Wish there was more reporting around this.

In his meeting with Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago a day after the Fox News interview, Trump said the situation with the hostages is very tough and that they have to be returned immediately.

Yeah. The hostage situation is “very tough”. They’re not gonna ‘fix’ that for him its just right out there like that’s how leaders talk. As if. And, agreed, he couldn’t lead a Mongol horde out of a wet paper bag.

I don’t see fox news reporting on Trump breaching the Logan act. They also know that Netanyahu will stop the attacks the second trump is elected to help him politically. It’s gross.

Non of those links confirm the tweet. Honestly this smells like fake news, as OP, has pointed out.

Complete tangent but how did you edit your comment without causing an edit mark to appear on it?

I edited it within a very short time after posting it. There’s some kind of “grace period” (at least on fedia.io), but I don’t know exactly what it is.

Reddit had a 2-3 min window to edit without it being marked as such; I haven’t noticed that on lemmy.world (dunno if it matters instance to instance).

Agreed. The “lady” is Judy Woodruff, PBS anchor and correspondent since it was the MacNeill-Lehrer News Hour, so it would greatly surprise me if she didn’t have some credible evidence behind “the reporting is”.

But I missed that moment last night, so I’d want to be sure she said it.

She did, see link above.

😂You really think Judy Woodruff is gonna put her reputation on the line by spreading BS? Good lord…

Edit: Oof, turns out she apologized and got the story wrong.

I don’t see any indication that she’s related to this. Anyone can put a picture of anyone near some text, and claim that they are quoting that person.

Google it. It’s on her Twitter account. She said it but she recently apologized and said she got it wrong.

If that’s true, it’s absolutely abominable.

Lol I was like “hold on, I’ve seen this one”

Reagan did the same thing with the hostages in the embassy in Iran.

I feel like Nixon at least knew how to wear a suit.

He also signed OSHA into law. His presidency is such a mixed bag.

And Democrats will just allow the Republican to get away with treason ‘for the good of the country’, even though that’s how we got into this mess. If Nixon actually went to jail, this whole era of Republican dirty tricks and corruption would’ve never happened.

They’ve got a lot of lawsuits against him already. And this act he can’t use “presidential duties” to hide behind because he ain’t president. If there’s evidence I can see Garland prosecuting.

theRe Really seems to be a common thRead between all these cRiminals that’s difficult to deteRmine.

Great, next Trump’s regressive economic policies will become bipartisan, and we’ll have a generation of propagandized liberals telling us they’re ackchually helpful.
