The Peace President

[Charles Fout]

I am enjoying President Trump's victory lap.

The new situation was a long time in arriving.

I'm praying for all who still want do deny Israel's right to exist.

Next: 

Russia-Ukraine;

and perhaps an official end to the Korea conflict.

I would really love to see Dennis Rodman in the Role of special envoy.

I'm praying for all who still want to deny their neighboring countries’ rights to exist. Those countries include Canada and Greenland.

You said that the U.S. would be united in four months. This is the most divided we've been in our lifetime, and Trump's approval ratings are in the toilet. The rich are doing well in the stock market, but everyone else is struggling with groceries and utilities, and the Black unemployment rate has risen sharply. Then, there's that whole Epstein file debacle.

There is nothing peaceful about Trump obliterating an entire apartment complex in Yemen, having plain clothes officers who won't identify themselves snatching people off the streets, pulling children out of their apartments in the middle of the night and putting them in zip ties, sending people who are legally in the U.S. to a concentration camp in El Salvador, or bombing civilian boats that are allegedly Venezuela drug ships (one country believes that it was actually their people who were bombed).

Trump is so awful that even Marjorie Taylor Greene is setting herself up to jump ship because her constituents are complaining.

Oh, and that peace deal negotiated between the DRC and Rwanda in exchange for minerals is BS. M23 is still killing people.

Trump is an immature narcissist who just wants the Nobel Peace Prize because Obama got one. Did Obama deserve it? No. Does Trump deserve one? No. Campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize is bonkers.

Greenland is not a country. 

Inviting the Dominion of Canada to become our 51st state is not denying its right to exist.

Nope. this post is not in jest.

This post is in Joy and Hope.

Let's Sing a New Song.

Man that koolaid has to be tasty.

[wow]

Happy about the ceasefire and the remaining hostages coming home. I mourn for the people killed on both sides and celebrate with those still living for a chance at peace. I look askance at any politician trying to use the situation for his own gain or taking victory laps so prematurely, and don't appreciate people taking the focus off the people actually *in* the conflict to score political points.

Greenland and Denmark govern themselves in Greenlandic and Danish, so of course their laws neither use nor reject the English word “country.” But “country” is a reasonable summary of Greenland’s status as an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Scotland uses English and is a “country,” despite being less autonomous day to day than Greenland.

Imagine the President of Palestine “invites” Israel to become a subnational state within Palestine. Israel would hold about 2% of the seats in Palestine’s upper house and 10% of its lower house and electoral college. About one in five Israelis would face their language being assimilated away. To achieve this annexation the president repeatedly threatens sanctions that if he pressed it could cause economic collapse of Israel. Oh, and he also declines to rule out using military force against Israel. I doubt you would characterize this as “inviting” and not existential threat.

And, I continue to pray for those suffering from the Trump Derangement Syndrome.

And I'll pray for those who won't see that political derangement works both ways.
