Chris Murphy: 'I have news for you - we aren't taking over Gaza.'

Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT 30m
I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza.

But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

1. Yup

Glad Murphy agrees with me.

[gab13by13]

2. Trump's dementia is getting bad.

[Bluetus]

21. Quite the opposite. This is exactly the kind of thinking

Trump has ALWAYS had. He has always been a lawless bully with no regard to laws, customs, or norms. He's almost 80 and it has worked for him his entire life.

[Orrex]

24. Maybe he'll just fucking die already

[Aristus]

32. It's been twelve fucking years since the golden escalator.

We’re still waiting. That motherfucker is going to live forever.

[Orrex]

33. That's my fear, that he'll go the Kissinger route.

[nature-lover]

3. Also a distraction from the confirmation hearings of these unqualified horrendous nominees.

[Amaryllis]

4. That may be a good thing.

[Biophilic]

5. What a truly fine example of a human being and leader he is.

[gab13by13]

6. Murphy would make a good president.

[yellow dahlia]

8. Murphy is one of my favorite Senators.

He has been bringing a genuine voice to the events of recent months.

[yellow dahlia]

7. I just said the same thing.

This is a distraction from the take over of the government. It is the grifter's MO - look over here...smoke and mirrors...the shell game.

[leighbythesea2]

9. Yep

Carnival barker

[Meowmee]

10. Yes the FOCUS NEEDS TO BE ON WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR GOVERNMENT

Sorry for the caps... but this is urgent.

[summer_in_TX]

16. Absolutely! A very calculated distraction.

[OrangeJoe]

11. Probably a just a distraction

If dip shit is serious about this and not just doing a carney “Rubes look over there” routine he’s going to have to work hard to sell it.

Over on Breitbart, where I occasionally lurk and troll when I get bored, the right wingers are not down with this latest idiotic idea. While the editor of Breitbart is a full blown Zionist racist, many, many readers are more garden variety anti-Semite’s and isolationists. They are not happy at all and some even have the geopolitical sense to predict one, two, many 9/11s if we get further involved over there.

[Mr. Evil]

12. That's really all this shit is.

One. Gigantic. Heist.

[littlemissmartypants]

13. Everything is...

A fu>king distraction with him.

Listening to him is equal to watching someone squirt diarrhea into the air in front of a crowd that is totally dumbfounded and covered in it.

It's a complete waste of time and intelligence.

He's a compulsive liar.

Why can't people grasp that?

[Klarkashton]

14. The grocery and gas prices....

War in Ukraine....

Day one.

[Skittles]

15. Cadet Bonespur's fantasies

YOU FUCKING IDIOTS WHO VOTED FOR THIS POS, FUCK YOU, YOU DISGRACED AMERICA

[summer_in_TX]

17. Heather Cox Richardson's Sunday video is a must-watch.

In her Politics Chat: February 2, 2025, Heather Cox Richardson focused and explains exactly what Elon is doing. She says there's a possibility of stopping it. But we have maybe 3-4 weeks at most.

We are in a constitutional crisis.

[LittleGirl]

18. Her video today was just as informative

Feb 4, 2025. One hour length.

Must watch video. (No link, sorry)

[summer_in_TX]

31. Thank you!

It takes longer to process and upload an hour video, I guess. I'll look for it tomorrow.

[LittleGirl]

19. I'm sorry

I cannot and will not listen to the orange clown, twitter person and Bibi. Both of these mass murders should be in jail and not having a press conference about how they are going to solve the problems they created.

Just another distraction to the coup that is happening with Musk having access to ALL OF OUR DATA. Our DATA Privacy is gone. Done. Never to be had again. THAT IS A FUCKING TRAVESTY. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE AREN'T IN THE STREETS!

[Dave Bowman]

20. Is there a single place in the world that he doesn't want to destroy and/or invade?

[James48]

22. The Arab World will be on fire.🔥

They’ll all reject this.

[moondust]

27. Terrorists probably already

planning for war.

[Seinan Sensei]

23. TSF's son-in-law Jared "The Mannequin" Kushner

sees Gaza as valuable Waterfront Property, ripe for development, “and suggested Israel should remove civilians while it ‘cleans up’ the strip”

(3/19/24 The Guardian)

[AdamGG]

25. It's a textbook example of Steven Bannon's strategy to

flood the zone with shit.

[LS0999]

26. Upon formal annexation the people of Gaza would become subjects of the US

Which means they would gain constitutional rights as citizens of the United States. Annexation doesn't mean only the land that, means the people as well. If Gaza is too unsafe for them to go back to then they could resettle anywhere in the US mainland. I wonder how that will go over with their MAGA base. Is this just a distraction from Elon's looting of the Treasury? Doesn't even make sense.

[Renew Deal]

28. He didn't say anything about formal annexation, though he did say "own it"

But I take that as Trump-speak for pacifying it. Trump and his lackeys have no intention of moving non-white people to the US.

He wants to own Canada and Greenland, but not Mexico.

[Sneederbunk]

29. Gaza, Greenland, Panama. It's always something.

[NoMoreRepugs]

30. Look over there while I steal your wallet and watch.
