Hell, someone pulled your vaunted, family crest owning last name directly out of their asshole at some point in your ancestry. It's all just ego stroking bullshit.
The problem, as always, is that people take these made up bullshit designations seriously, to the point of mass murder.
We are all actually the same species, capable of similar highs and lows of emotion, of pain, of hunger.
Too bad most everyone refuses to start and end with that, because if we're all equally deserving of empathy and resources, how can I get mooooooaaaaar than those other people I'm clearly better than? Because my Parents, President, and Priests said I deserve more than those bad people that live in the wrong place and suck the wrong imaginary friend's imaginary dick.
Face palm. It's fucking tragic what is about to escalate for the Palestinians. I hope all the people that blathered on with nonsense about "Genocide Joe" are able to do some self-reflection.
Seeing as biden gave billions in support of israel while they carried out this genocide for over a year, the moniker is well-earned. Hopefully you do some self-reflection to realize that both parties full-throatedly support israel. The other guy being worse is not an excuse to support genocide. Democrats will keep talking about how much worse republicans are while moving to the right in pace with them.
Today they were kinda proved right, though. After having imposed another deadline on Israel and that deadline having again expired they again won’t stop sending arms to Israel. Even when this is the last fucking chance before Trump is taking over. You can’t just ignore this shit.
Who could have guessed Trump would appoint somebody who doesn't recognize the victims of genocide as real people? It's not like Trump called pro-Palestinians protestor "pro-Hamas thugs" and "jihad sympathizers" or said "I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast" or called attempts by Biden to negotiate a cease fire an attempt to "tie Israel's hand behind its back".
How could anybody have known? By looking at how he handled conflicts in the area during his first administration? What are we? A nation of nerds that try to make educated decisions about our political leaders?
What real difference does this make though? I honestly don't see what actually is going to change in Gaza. Yes, Biden isn't overtly racist against Palestinians, but he doesn't consider them human beings either. He's given Israel a complete blank check to do whatever they want. And I expect that to continue unchanged under Trump. As a practical matter, I really don't see what Trump can do that Biden already hasn't. Trump will just be a lot ruder about it.
“The first ever mention of an ancient land called Israel was by an Egyptian Pharaoh, Merneptah, 3429 years ago,” reads a meme that has made the rounds on Facebook. “The first ever mention of an ancient land called Palestine was by an Egyptian opportunist, Yasser Arafat, 57 years ago.”
Hey look, Mormon Jesus really did appear to Joseph Smith and told him to start a church and sell spots in heaven for any family that wed their daughter to him.
[My father] asked me if I would be sealed to Joseph ... [Smith] said to me, 'If you will take this step, it will ensure your eternal salvation & exaltation and that of your father's household & all of your kindred.['] This promise was so great that I willingly gave myself to purchase so glorious a reward.

Sounds all very legit, daughter for heaven. Mormon Jesus is just cool like that.
It's weird that he's still even a thing in politics. He's recently just been running some irrelevant conservatism for kids grift. Why would he even be on the list of people to elevate?
I feel like Trump does value loyalty, as we’re seeing with the people he’s elevating in this transition. It seems to be people who never really wavered in their sycophancy toward him, while others were jumping ship or hedging when he lost to Biden.
