10. Remember when

The gop traitors invited a foreign leader to the USA without even notifying President Obama?

That was Netanyahu they invited. The gop traitors and the right wing fanatics in Israel have a LOT in common - so they support each other's efforts.

What a disgrace. NOT IN MY HOUSE ANYMORE.

If the current leadership in Israel thinks trump is good for them then they don't give a damn about how bad he is for us. Just like Les Moonves' statement, "He may be bad for the country but he's great for ratings!" Or words to that effect.

No different. Hooray for me and the hell on you is the message here. Thanks Bebe. Message received.
