Well that is one way to describe Senate republicans finding him innocent of what House democrats eventually settled on impeaching him for, seeing as they couldn't impeach him for something they had been doing to him since before the 2016 election.

There’s consequences for protecting him for something and expecting that won’t be used against him in the future. They let him get away with targeting political rivals. Now they can’t protect him from said political rivals. They made it legal by letting him off.

To be clear you are saying they let Trump get away with wanting the alleged crimes of a political opponent be investigated, how many people got away with pushing investigations against Trump (such as Russian collusion) when he was their political opponent? Should people like Schiff be punished for doing the very thing Trump was accused of when the impeachment process started?

Or is it one of those it was only bad when Trump did it things?

Not at all, since 75 Senators already voted for a funding bill and it's McCarthy's clown car "leadership" in the House at the root of it.

I imagine Newsom's phone has been lit for the last 24 hours.

Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) really didn't want the House to pass a bill to avoid a shutdown.

I wonder if people still remember the primary reason Osama Bid Laden attacked the United States

because I think it's relevant

Hamas is going to share his fate so I guess it's relevant?

Pears to apples comparision. bin laden was a human, hamas (just lik al qaida and isis) are organizations. Also, prince "I torture, kill and quarter periodists in embassies" seems less an ally of the USA than his father was, so maybe he will funnel resources if Israel goes the "an eye for an eye, and then some" route with the invasion of Gaza.

Israel going "an eye for an eye and than some" is an understatement.

Netanyahu's actions are far more in common with Russia than Ukraine.

and they're doing this with US tax money and approval from some demographics.

I don't think the US learned the right lessons from 9/11

The lessons the US learned from 9/11 are irrelevant to Israel's reaction to Hamas murdering hundreds if not thousands of Israeli civilians in an unprovoked sneak attack.

And Israel's reaction to said attack has nothing in common with Russia invading Ukraine.

Well, Israel might **** them up a little too hard with their reaction. And it'll be yet another thing that western politicians will have to play defense for, making awkward excuses for why it doesn't count as genocide or war crimes.

" **** them up a little too hard" is an understatement and is something that has been going on for decades

That's part of the reason why we still have a mess

With Iowa and New Hampshire done the 2024 election has become the expected Trump vs. Biden rematch.

There is stilll the possibility of Trump"s legal issues catching up with him or Biden to have health problem. Outside that it's likely to be the case.
