Damn, you've got to give it to the guy.
There are a lot of encouraging signs that under the Trump administration that this gravy train is ending. In the past eighteen months, the administration has green-lighted increasing the population density in some Jewish settlements in the West Bank, Jerusalem has been recognized as the capital of Israel, the US has just cut some $300 million from the UNRWA–the UN agency that funds anti-Semitic propaganda and discourages Palestinian “refugees” from assimilating in their host nations–and, last week, our ambassador said he could not imagine a situation under which Israel would relinquish the Golan Heights, clearly implying that US recognition of Israel’s conquest of that area was being considered. Today, however, the hammer came down.
In 1994, as a bit of baksheesh for participating in the Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, aka the Palestinian Authority, was allowed to open what amounted to an embassy in
Washington, DC. The idea was that recognizing the PLO with some trappings of statehood would result in the PLO leadership acting like the leaders of an actual nation. That certainly worked well. While numerous members of Congress have criticized this decision over a quarter of a century, the stupidity of rewarding Palestinian intransigence acquired a life of its own. Until today:

Now, more than ever....
If he does something I like I have no problem crediting him for it. Btw, weren't you just cramming Obama's dick down your throat extolling how great Obamacare is. Hell I heard some dipshit say that without Obamacare 30 million people were being denied healthcare.
So you say Obamacare is shit but then still lie and claim the it provided 30 million people with access to healthcare they otherwise wouldn’t of had but that was you just “trolling” and not a reflection of anything you truly feel.
Oh it’s all so confusing Hondo
