Is Gaza in any way sovereign? It was occupied by Egypt until 1967, then was under Israeli occupation until 2005, administered by terrorists until 2023, then occupied by Israel again.

Who the heck knows, but it isn’t Israel’s to sell either!
Adding: United States of Gaza to bingo card
Not being signed up to it doesn’t make it go away. That was one of the defences at Nuremburg…
Chat…you guys are making me feel bad about being an American and for saying that I supported Trump more than Harris earlier in this chat

Don’t feel bad about this - it’s perfectly fine to be proud & positive of your nation. It’s when people blind themselves to the issues & either are over nationalistic or overly critical when things go wrong as it then becomes more about point scoring or pushing a viewpoint then actually caring about people.
Again don’t be - Trump is a popularist politician and at the end of the day you are actually there rather the extrapolation through the European media that most of us see.
It’s also healthy to have an alternative view point as otherwise things become an echo chamber.
Also as you’re too young to vote - you didn’t vote for him 
Don’t feel bad. I would have voted for Trump over Harris or Biden, even though I don’t agree with everything he says and does (especially tariffs and the stuff that can be used to justify Putin’s behaviour).
Fair, also apparently Harris was going to give federal prisoners free gender changing surgury
Depending on which sources you use, she was also going to feed blended babies and children to visiting aliens from outer space just to appease BlackRock Corporation and make sure they didn’t aim their Jewish Space Lasers at Earth.
Point is, don’t take everything you read as gospel.

Bro I know that
People have legitimate concerns about Trump becoming dictatorial: but they brought it on themselves by stopping him getting stuff done to usual way in his last term. He’s learnt his lesson and I hope our Conservative Party are taking note and don’t waste five years next time they get a decent majority.
To my awareness, the only presidential team in living memory to try to have their opponents arrested and imprisoned were Biden and Harris.
On the other hand, to my knowledge, Biden was the only incoming POTUS ever, to be taking over from someone who rejected the election as corrupt and face a nascent insurrection from opposition supporters. Bear in mind that normally, it is a losing opposition leader who will call an election corrupt and reject the result, not the losing incumbent, who would arguably have had more control over the proceedings!

I’m sure he would argue it’s the deep state that had all the control over that election. He won’t make the same mistake again.
what do you mean
Real, and to my knowledge Trump is the only president people have compared to Hitler and said that he’s going to build concentration-like “camps” for Mexican people
Richard Nixon, Ronald Regan, George W Bush and Barak Obama have all been compared to Hitler at various points through their presidencies. Bush & Obama were particularly criticised for putting people in cages.
You may wish to go do a bit more digging into just how toxic the entire political scene is in the US. And I don’t just mean the politicians, but the language that is used and the way the general public even think about politics.
Donald Trump is the sorry consequence of a country that has failed to get its house in order when it comes to politics. What he isn’t is a victim.

When politics is treated like a team sport and it becomes more about winning to either exert personal will and opinion or to relish the other side losing than it is about debating and finding solutions to problems, everyone loses.
We’re not that far behind, we just have more teams to choose from.
The whole US system is designed to do that, the reason they have separation of powers is so that they have to work together, if the President wants to do insane things Congress is there to stop him, likewise if Congress passes a ridiculous law he can veto it and if either want to do something unconstitutional the Supreme Court are there to say “Nein!”
Using the checks and balances as the founding fathers and the constitution intended is exactly the right thing to do.

Oh. I didn’t know that!
Also, unrelated topic, but what are y’alls thoughts on bebadoobee and Laufey? (they’re musica artists)
Would bet my pension that part of warplan yellow, includes this as a managed retreat option.
Total scorched earth of the plant and other key associated facilities.
No doubt combined with absolute top key personnel being evacuated to USA.
Speed up their indusrty.
