On NSC for over two decades...
The White House is now rowing back on Trumps insane ramblings on Gaza with ‘clarifications’.

1. Palestinians will only leave on a temporary basis.

Yes, of course, that is totally believeable and would definitely happen.

:bla:

Your other standard response. Infantile. I can't be arsed to give you the time or patience other posters admirably do. I can only assume your attitudes align with Trump otherwise you'd answer the straight forward questions put to you like any other grown up would.
Apologies for the interruption..may I provide an answer on the Vegans behalf (must be well tricky having a plant based diet in the land of the calorie);
Biden..bad, very, very bad, bigly bad.
President Musk and VP Satsuma..the best presidential pairing the world has ever seen..literally everyone has told them so.

1. Palestinians will only leave on a temporary basis.

Meanwhile, some political commentators have pointed out that Trump’s motivation could be his desire for a Nobel Peace prize.
Apparently he has rowed back on tarrifs. Initially they were 25% and would be charged to China, Canada, Mexico and (oddly) Columbia.
The tariff for the EU was not specified, but the EU were singled out for special opprobrium for refusing to import 'chlorination' chicken.

This and the moveable feast of Gaza allow the high risk-takers to step in,
just as the global financial crash allowed certain types (including Sunk) to make a mint.

Who will step in to the new narrative about Gaza? Bibi's more hairy-arsed coalitionists, presumably. Settlements first....
Meanwhile in America the volatility over the size and location of tariffs will allow some to make a mint on volatile stocks and currency.

Every set back is an opportunity for someone, somewhere....

Yes, in Trump's plan, the Gazans will have first option to buy the mulit-million pound apartments he's planning to build!! If they don't, well that's their choice!!!

Do I have to explain to you our foreign policy or border policy when Biden was ”President “? Go ahead and give me your take. No need to be insulting.
I've already replied stating that Biden tried to put measures in place to secure the border, but the republicans shot down the bill because it would mean they would have nothing to run on for the election.

Apparently Trump now wants the US to take ownership of Gaza, with Palestinians living 'in the vicinity'.

So he's going to turn Gaza into New Miami, with the Palestinians forced to live, er, in Israel? Or in the sea?

I do hope the whole world is raising an eyebrow. Let him keep talking. Don't react.

I thought this was already the sport bodies of the world's regulations.
What will he ban next I wonder?
The sea being above the sky, perhaps?
Not all and not in USA

There was a case in November where a judge allowed a transgender athlete to continue playing female volleyball, which seems quite dangerous

Possibly the only common sense thing he's done in power

It's a solution for something that rarely happens. Illinois one of the more liberal states.

Transgender athletes in girls’ sports: It rarely happens in Illinois​


The Illinois High School Association says of the 320,000 student-athletes competing in all IHSA sports at all levels, only three people born male asked for and received waivers to compete in girls’ sports last year. The organization granted just two waivers the year before.

Did you see him talking about a trans athlete winning the 800 mile Arizona trail race which he described as “a big thing in the cycling world”. I googled it. I think we have different views on what constitutes a big thing in sport.

Are you saying it's ok because it rarely happens?

If there is 'just' 1 or 2 men competing how many women does that adversely affect?

The Palestinians being dumped in Israel while Trump takes ownership of Gaza for himself would be a fairly typical Trump outcome for something like this, shaft your partner and leave them to pick up the mess while you take the spoils.

Don’t forget that America will take ownership of it but the rest of the world will pay to build it.

Seems dangerous however many partake

It must be horrible for the trans athlete not being able to compete through no fault of their own, but there needs to be safe guarding for females
They need their own category or compete with other biological males

It is totally unfair on women however few the numbers

If America and Israel start forcibly removing Gazans from their home, who is going to be able to do anything about it? We've given USA complete military control over the past 50 years on the implicit assumption (HOPE) that the American administration is always going to act within the boundaries of international law. It's looking like that is starting to come unstuck.
