In just over 1 year Trump has:
•Bombed 8 countries
•Perpetuated genocide in Gaza
•Stolen Venezuela's oil
•Blocked all oil to Cuba, sending Cuba into catastrophic & deadly energy shortages
•Cut USAID, which has already killed 700K people
•Bombed Iran & spiked a global fuel prices
•Eased sanctions on Russian oil & given Russia hundreds of millions

Meanwhile at home groceries are more expensive, unemployment is rising, manufacturing is collapsing, & democracy is in shambles.

Are we great yet?🧐

@QasimRashid
Greatly screwed is my observation from the other side of the ocean...

@QasimRashid

Yet I've got leftists telling me it's the Democrats who need to change, Kamala wasn't offering anything, and that she was a bad candidate. Voters need to get their collective heads out of their collective asses and understand they are the problem.

This maniac is exactly who Democrats, Joe, and Kamala warned everyone about. Bernie might also want to quit going on right wing podcasts and telling the big lie that both sides are "largely corrupt."

@HakeemG @QasimRashid Some of the leftists are too “pure”, and clearly not pragmatic enough. The choice between Harris and The Head Blood Sucker was so stark the impediment to
making the correct choice has to be blinded by ideology, not in touch with the reality, or they believe in martyr status if they didn’t get purity. 🤔
There is a “self” related issue regarding the inability of humans to work together when survival is at stake displayed across the board.

@Huntn00 @HakeemG @QasimRashid

Pragmatic enough? Yea, i guess some would rather not put a price on human life.
The fact it seems so easy for you to choose between two genocidal regimes should make you question your life, not their commitment to their ideology.
The system in place is not inevitable, it is a consequence of peoples inability to see it for what it is.

@Fou_ad @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Biden didn't do enough to stop what was occuring in Gaza, but that you claim they're both genocidal regimes is crazy to me.

Mamdani and his base supported the uncommitted movement because of Gaza. Then when he wins the mayors office, he hires former "Genocide Joe" FTC chair Lena Khan to lead his transition team and his base loves it. I don't know about you but if thought Joe was guilty of genocide, I wouldn't support anyone from his regime.

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Kamala made it clear she would continue in the footsteps of the previous admin considering Gaza.

I dont know anything about Khan nor do I care in the context we are talking about. But generally speaking i do not agree that everyone working within the government at the time is a despicable human being.

@Fou_ad @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Of course you don't know anything about Khan, this is just like when I talk to the MAGA cult. The minute you call out the BS they don't know anything about it. A simple Google search will show you she worked for Genocide Joe and Mamdani hired her.

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

I don't know or care about Khan because I am Lebanese living in Lebanon and have other shit to deal with than following the details of your politics.

Oh and the other shit is thanks to your bipartisan support for Israel.

@Fou_ad @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

You don't care about Genocide Joe officials because you live in Lebanon, but you care about Genocide Joe. At least be consistent with your statements, of course it's hard to do when you're defending propaganda. This is the same problem MAGA runs into when I call them out.

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Are you comparing Khan To Biden?

@Fou_ad @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Are you saying it's okay to hire officials from a genocidal regime, but not the leader? Was Joseph Goebbels acceptable to you after the war? She was a political appointee in a "genocidal regime."

At this point I think it's safe to say you've been exposed. Thanks for putting out all this BS so I can show everyone what all this anti-Dem leftist nonsense is really about.

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Why are you insisting on Khan? Is she your direct competitor in some upcoming election?

I told you i knew nothing of her, that includes whether she was appointed or was there before or anything else to do with her.

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

If you think getting the upper hand on a non US citizen ranting about being anti Dem is going to help you show anything to anyone I think you are delusional and already lost.

@Fou_ad @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

If you just want to make shit up, put on a red hat and get in where you fit in.

Ceasefire and Humanitarian Aid: As Vice President, she was among the first high-ranking U.S. officials to call for a "cease-fire" (in March 2024) to address the "devastating" humanitarian situation in Gaza, stating she "will not be silent" on the suffering.

She supports a two-state solution that provides security for Israelis and dignity, freedom, and self-determination for Palestine

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Duuuude, the theater they put on for brainwashed americans doent cut jt for the rest of the planet.

When the US talk will be reflected in US action, if only in votes at the UN, then come back on your high horse and talk about what Kamala did.

@Fou_ad @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Brainwashed Americans says the guy who thinks Trump and Kamala were no different. The jokes write themselves these days.

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Like i said, you cant get your head out of your two party system.
Political theater puppeteered by people currently laughing their asses off at how much money money money they are making no matter who wins or loses in war.

@Fou_ad @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

I don't know who else is laughing, but I'm laughing at your fact free desperate attempts to make an argument rooted in fallacy.

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

No sir, you are simply trying to remain myopic in your discussion of US politics while im trying to get you to the bigger picture where the details mean nothing.
The US has been at war non stop in one form or another (they are very creative in naming things) since they colonized indigenous lands. Your whole system is based on violence and exploitation (i.e capitalism dare I say).
But hey lets talk about Khan.

@Fou_ad @HakeemG @QasimRashid You are right about a 2 party system and capitalists, but your observation is just that. Change is not something that occurs with the snap of a finger. Human are decidedly selfish and a great number are stupid. Ultimately, we care more about ourselves, we don’t mind stepping on others for our own advantage. But for change for the better, it’s best via small battles, not Iffy all or nothing conflagrations. 1:2
@Fou_ad @HakeemG @QasimRashid As a victim, it’s easy to see our faults, . As someone who is relatively comfortable, the reality becomes clouded in their comfort and self interest. Those in relative comfort are less likely to choose to burn it all down. Instead, I’ll make a pragmatic choice that takes us in the right direction, with the understanding that Trump was the burn it all down for the 1% option. This is my observation. 2:2

@Huntn00 @Fou_ad @QasimRashid

Germany had seven political parties when Hitler rose to power. The idea that having more political parties is always better is dubious. The problem with America today isn't the two party system it's that conservatives and to some extent leftists live in a fact free world. Capitalism has produced the countries with the highest quality of life, not to be confused with the monstrosity that is American capitalism.

@HakeemG @Fou_ad @QasimRashid I was referencing a system where 2 entrenched parties are given what I describe as unfair positional advantage. The other issue seems to be winner takes all. We might do better with a more representational form of governance. 1:2
@HakeemG @Fou_ad @QasimRashid I rag on Capitalists but it’s where unchecked Capitalism has taken us and the human predisposition of wanting to be wealthy. This takes a grounded vision of how to keep society running smoothly, no self destructive wealth gluttons can be allowed, wealth caps, equal opportunity, equality before the law, a social safety net, 🚫bigotry, 🚫extreme income disparity, infrastructure, education, environmental responsibility, etc. 2:2

@Huntn00 @Fou_ad @QasimRashid

No doubt American capitalism is an absolute disaster, but what non capitalist countries are doing well now or ever?

@HakeemG @Fou_ad @QasimRashid Any system can work, socialism, communism, capitalism as long as wealth limits are in place, corruption is not allowed, and most citizens are on the same page about the limitations.
Capitalism has a track record of making people wealthy. The question becomes who, how much, how many, at the cost to who? How many actually benefit? 1:2
@HakeemG @Fou_ad @QasimRashid This is why we are currently in the Capitalist End Game stage because it’s predicated on endless growth, which is a myth. And when growth no longer satisfies desired profit margins, it starts cannibalizing the system and disenfranchising members of the team, our citizens. 2:2

@Huntn00 @Fou_ad @QasimRashid

The idea that any system is capitalist/socialist is kind of a pharce. For example we have elements of socialism and capitalism in the U.S. and so do most of the Nordic countries with the highest quality of life in the world. I've never seen a successful communist country though and that bestows far too much power in one entity for my liking.

@HakeemG @Fou_ad @QasimRashid Elements of socialism, rapidly being degraded because Capitalists in charge and romping, are consuming us.

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

"Didnt do enough" ?? Hilarious.

@Fou_ad @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

But you're cool with Bernie funding them through 2016 right? Not calling it a genocide until 23? Mamdani hiring genocide Joe officials, right?

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Are you running for office? It sure sounds like it.
You are deflecting with great prowess.

@Fou_ad @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

I'm deflecting? Rich! Leftists like MAGA aren't used to be challenged on their BS, well welcome to my world.

@HakeemG @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Looking at some of your posts it seems like you might truly still believe in your democratic system.

You are either the most naive or most optimistic person in the US.

@Fou_ad @Huntn00 @QasimRashid

Still no thoughts on Bernie and Mamdani supporting genocide? You still refuse to acknowledge the consequences of not supporting Kamala. Millions of people will suffer but you can go slap backs at the next Bernie rally and bask in your purity politics. Genocide Bernie bros! Oh the irony.

@Fou_ad @HakeemG @QasimRashid You have your ethics and your available choices and if one lets the decidedly worse human takes leadership on principle, you’ve lost the battle and have made the good outcome of the war less likely. IMO it’s one battle at a time not all or nothing.
There is no argument can be made that allowing Trump to win was the better option based on principle, unless the idea is burn it down and start fresh? 🤔

@HakeemG @QasimRashid

You talking about Genocide Joe? And more-of-the-same Kamala?

Perhaps "leftists" can see that your two party system is a sham and that Trump is the uncensored version of the whole establishment?

Thank god you still have people with morals, unwilling to vote for the lesser of two so blatant evils, to help you open your eyes. And if you need to take a beating to understand, so be it. The rest of the world has had a taste for the last 60 to 200 years depending who you ask.

@Fou_ad @QasimRashid

Perhaps American leftists are propagandists, hypocrites, and/or basking in too much privilege. It's funny to me how you guys rail on Democrats, but worship Bernie who gladly funded Israel until 2016 when he was running for president, and refused to call it a genocide until 2023 when he ran into some real leftists in Ireland and got called out for it.

@Fou_ad @QasimRashid

There are a lot of dead kids in Iran and Palestine for that matter that would be alive today if you guys had made a better choice, not to mention the effects of his cruel foreign aid cuts. At least 23 million children stand to lose access to education, and as many as 95 million people would lose access to basic healthcare, potentially leading to more than 3 million preventable deaths per year, but I'm sure that's a sacrifice you're willing to make.

@HakeemG @QasimRashid

And there would be many more people alive today if you didnt start history on October 7th.

The US has been continuously at war since world war 2, and it hasnt really mattered whether it was democrats or republicans in power. You are so blinded by the american dream propaganda that you cant see the bigger/ real picture of what the US is.
You separate your foreign policy from internal politics and consider it fine.

I am certainly disappointed in Bernie.

@Fou_ad @QasimRashid

Hasn't mattered? Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran we're all the work of Republicans. That you so callously lie about that shows how much you really value brown lives. There are a lot people in the middle east who know it matters, but yes if you're some privileged Bernie bro, maybe it didn't affect you.

@HakeemG @Fou_ad @QasimRashid

Reading all these comments with great interest, and while I'm not as quick as you all here, or as adept at explaining a point, might I ask HakeemG what he ideal US posture/policy/candidate would be JUST regarding Israel?

I'm in my mnid 60's and I could never understand the US's blind support for them (while understanding I DONT understand the complete history of that region) and reconciling the thought of "how can a people who have been through all they've endured, turn around and try to elimninate (and succeed in grabbing land of) Palestinians?

@Sfwmson @Fou_ad @QasimRashid

Israel should not receive a dollar from the United States. They obviously have enough money for genocides. Further the United States should demand that the IDF and settlers be held accountable for their crimes, many of them are flat out murderers and war criminals. It's beyond disturbing how the ancestors of the holocaust have essentially become the bad guys.

@Sfwmson @HakeemG @QasimRashid

You are unwittingly playing the zionists game by conflating zionism and judaism.
Zionism is an ideology that is a direct copy of the american colonial project and had very little support from Jews when it was first proposed. But by using violence against Jews (in partnership with the nazis, and for decades afterwords) they slowly but surely convinced them and the world that it was the quintessential jewish desire and right to have a homeland.

@Fou_ad @Sfwmson @QasimRashid

Bro you don't even know who Lina Khan is, why should anyone listen to you?

@HakeemG @Sfwmson @QasimRashid

Such a weak counter. Shame, I thought you'd have more to say about the content of my message.
Fortunately I wasnt actually directing my message at you.
But it is pretty clear now you have political ambitions and this Khan lady has got your panties in a twist.
Im starting to think she is worthy of being checked out.

@QasimRashid
Nevertheless, the people love him and the MAGAs will win the midterms by a huge margin. Just wait for it.
@QasimRashid but, on the other hand, he totally stopped "transgender for everyone" and the streets are full of heavily-armed, masked racist goons. And they're building concentration camps across the country. So his voters did get what they REALLY voted for.

@QasimRashid I was going to comment "you forgot X" but then I realized you also forgot Y, then I realized you also forgot Z.... then I realized that the list of bad/stupid things trump has done is immense and wouldn't fit on any character limited comment.

So to summarize, "you forgot to mention literally everything else hes done"

Argh.

@QasimRashid MAGAts are bringing so many good things to us all. /s They are a death cult.

@QasimRashid So much winning.

Please, sir, can we stop winning. I am tired of this.

@QasimRashid You forgot to mention: 1) the measles outbreaks across the country; 2) the loosening or outright destruction of environmental protection regulations; 3) the erasure of non-European-American and women's history at public sites; 4) the erasure of climate crisis-related information at public sites and 5) the threatening of media companies for news coverage the regime dislikes.

@QasimRashid I am not an American so I shouldn't say anything but, this is a trend in most countries now I think, making it harder for the middle class to revolt (by keeping them busy) and giving those who have nothing just enough to stay chill and not group up.

Social media seems to be playing a part in keeping us separate too I think, as we aren't talking to people around us, and they tend to have different set of "teams" in each social media so our ideas locally never align

@QasimRashid ...made the whole world mad at him
@energisch_ ... not only at him. He doesn't act alone. @QasimRashid
@NatureMC Yes - but he's the 🎯 and not without reason. His attitude, how he talks down on people, his hubris, his egomanic behavior and slurs, he is a fitting target - not only for rotten tomatoes. @QasimRashid

@QasimRashid And while USians are whining about their prices, they destroy #foodSafety in poorer countries https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/16/africa-particularly-vulnerable-iran-conflict-disrupts-supply-chains and endanger the poor people of the rest of the world.
But well, that's part of #fascism and evangelical sectarian #fanaticism to crash the world for the survival of billionaires!

The number of countries that hate the USA is growing by the hour. But you still have friends like Netanyahu, Putin or Kim Yong Un.

#TESCREAL #USPol #strongSarcasmAlarm

Africa particularly vulnerable as Iran conflict disrupts supply chains, say experts

Food production in many African countries depends heavily on fertiliser imported from the Gulf through the strait of Hormuz

The Guardian
@QasimRashid When you figure out who the "we" is in all Trump's pronouncements, it all makes perfect sense.
Hint: It's no the "we" in "We the people".
