Forgive me for thinking that instead of keeping them out, Israel had been allowing them in and then murdering them 'by accident'.

If anything, his incoherence is, to them, a benefit, since he's just that much easier to manipulate. Since he can't form a coherent thought on his own, he can be readily filled up with someone else's ideas, just so long as they're framed correctly.

This is pretty much what was going on in the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush too. I'm so sick of sharing a country with people who eagerly elect feeble-minded puppets... I guess because they find them relatable.

They don't see Trump as the second coming of Christ, they see him as more like another King Cyrus. It's the idea that a ruler or other major figurehead can be a "vessel for God" benefiting the believers of a particular religion while not actually being a part of said religion or conforming to its morals.

Vox article on this, for example

There are hotels that allow dogs in the rooms? I don't see how that could work in the long run without requiring deposits that most people wouldn't want to pay.

At first I thought it said "J.D. Vance uses interview to peg Peter Thiel to help Trump campaign with cash".

I mean, that wouldn't be terribly surprising news either.

That information is very widely and readily available with a basic web search. His voice was fine until (I forget) years ago when a weird illness damaged his vocal cords.

I'm sorry I have to ask, but, serious or kidding?

 

What a surprise...
