There's something hilariously ghoulish about Trump's desire to own Gaza. We've gone from MAGAs claiming he's for America First and against war, to him talking about re-taking the Panama Canal, Greenland, and maybe making Canada the "51st state"--and now he has dreams of turning Gaza, a place he says is associated with so much death--
And turning it into the "Riviera of the Middle East."
That's right, we will have to first permanently relocate the people already in Gaza. Then remove all the rubble and rebuild. And of course there will need to be a military presence....
So basically, we'll be permanently owning Gaza with tens of billions of dollars and a face full of intifada. But imagine selling all that real estate potential that Jared Kushner saw there! Imagine what could be built! (Imagine the kickbacks Trump could get from any cronies of his who get hook-ups!)
Now, to me, that sort of thing sounds like being the entertainment director of a leper colony. But Donald Trump has big dreams of it being a place for people. Persecuted people. The world's people. (I'm thinking mostly the kind of wealthy ladies who go on vacation to have seaweed wrapped around their cankles and the excess lard from their rumps syringed into their cheek pads, but why limit one's dreams when the spell of horseshit is upon one?)
It's ethnic cleansing. It's ghoulish. It's insane. And he stood next to Prime Minister Netanyahu and said that out loud where people could hear. I'm guessing MAGA will be fully onboard within a day or so.

A good post with a lot to chew on--it would actually be a bit reassuring to me if our foreign allies just came out with it: "Your country is batshit and we cannot even deal with you all right now" instead of trying to normalize what we're have become (are becoming?) We're in bad need of a head slap moment. Something bracing. (I fear it will come as a more unpleasant shock: all personnel of the CIA have been given their version of the "fork in the road" letter, the FBI personnel who worked the 1/6 cases were counter-terrorism hands, and Gabbard is now likely to be DNI--all things that make me VERY uncomfortable.)
