The answer is mutiny. JD Vance could have private conversations with the cabinet, even the ones dedicated to hiding the Epstein Files, namely Bondi and Patel. He has more private conversations with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who may well already be close to open revolt, seeing their soldiers slaughtered in a meaningless fight for Israel's greater glory.
Once everyone's on board, activate the 25th Amendment and get rid of the guy before he gets us all killed.
The deal for Trump: leave, and the Epstein Files stay buried and you won't be impeached or prosecuted for starting an aggressive war or murdering children.
Alternative scenario, in case Vance's vocal support for the war is sincere: Tulsi Gabbard could maybe do it.
Tulsi would have the instant support of a majority of Americans, I think. Her patriotism is unquestioned, except for monsters like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, who found her truth-telling inconvenient, and drummed her out of the Democratic Party on the utterly fake pretext of her being a Russian spy.
@BrassVon@Oneiorosgrip Not the same women. Riley Gaines, for instance, hasn't sought to destroy male spaces in any way.
Respect women of character. Sports can help build that character.
Always defend people who deserve protecting, especially when you're defending them from people who don't.
@davidsirota Does this mean that Schumer can simply scuttle the move with ease?
I'd love to see sane Democrats break with the Israeli agents, but last I heard, the Israelis were still firmly in charge.
@DavidTe99369748@BRICSinfo We'll certainly notice if Trump lifts a finger to prevent Israel from continuing to murder Lebanese and steal their territory.
It would be the first time, like ever, that Trump failed to obey his master.
Most of us have given up hope.
The Smotrich parade scandal really highlighted how many mental contortions liberal Zionists are performing in order to separate Israel and its government. They like to pretend there are fairy fantasyland versions of Israel in other dimensions ruled by magic Jewish elf queens who ride candy unicorns and treat Palestinians as equals, and it is only by some freakish and unforeseeable twist of fate that our dimension's version of Israel wound up being governed by genocidal racists.
That's how they maintain their view that it's legitimate to criticize specific actions of this one specific government sometimes, but it's antisemitic to oppose Zionism or say Israel shouldn't exist. They pretend that the genocidal apartheid state we see before us today is some sort of fluke that is only one of the many possible iterations of what Israel could look like, and that any minute now it could agree to a two-state solution and become a virtuous beacon of truth and justice for the entire world.
This is of course ridiculous. Everything that Israel is today is the result of everything it has always been. All this war, genocide, apartheid and abuse is what it looks like when you give Zionists everything they want. This is all the inevitable fruit of the decision to plant a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization whose inhabitants do not belong to the privileged group.
There is no alternate reality version of Israel. Its government is inseparable from everything it is as a state. Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Netanyahu are the product of everything Israel has been from its very inception, and when they leave power they will be replaced by psychopathic fascists with different names and faces.
Genocidal apartheid states should not exist. To oppose genocide and apartheid is to oppose Zionism, because there is no material manifestation of Zionism put into practice which does not include those things. Saying "anti-Zionism is anti-semitism" is just saying you support genocide and apartheid and want those things to continue.
@BrandynsWisdom If Jesus appeared today in Bethlehem, tended to the sick and fed the hungry, Israel would drop an American 2000lb bomb on his head to slaughter him and as many of his followers as they could.
The Israelis today are the inheritors of those that killed Jesus.
@NiohBerg I support this, mainly because without US military and political aid, Israel would disintegrate instantly unless it can present a peaceful face to the world. Without lying.
If they maintain a posture of aggression and racial extermination, helplessness will be their teacher.
@Moral_Compass2@VividProwess I can call you a liar.
Israel also routinely targets and murders aid workers and journalists.
They are the most evil people who've ever lived.
@Hamoodi_Barran@VividProwess This was a prison break.
The Israelis routinely murdered Gazans. They called it "mowing the lawn"; i.e., murdering some large number of Palestinians to keep the population down.
Then they partied next to the Gazan prison.
@Moral_Compass2@VividProwess Israel has targeted and murdered tens of thousands of Palestinian babies.
And bragged about it. How can anyone pretend otherwise when there are mountains of videos of IDF soldiers laughing about shooting babies in the head?
@BRICSinfo Israel will never cease fire. They'll pretend to just long enough for those defending against the invasion of their homeland to lay down their arms, then Israel, with American help, will murder them.
It's not like we haven't seen this play out a hundred times just recently.
@Mondoweiss There's no indication whatsoever that Democrats would restrain Israel in any way.
Check out Chuck Schumer just over the last couple days. The guy'd shoot Arab babies in the face himself.
