Ive heard that trump is really pissed at Israel for breaking peace now. Real falling out with Netaniahu.

To the point he now signed peace with houthis just for US and left them to attack Israeli ships.

And that Hamas is now working direct with US and Trump will recognize Palestine as independent state. All because Israel violated peace agreement Trump brokered and now wants to take over the rest of the Palestine

Additional context: "He's said to be at the heart of a stolen $400m pension fund."

This shit is why y'all need to stop caring what fascists tweet and pay more attention to what they do.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 38 points 13 hours ago

Imagine being that rich and still tweeting like a 14 year old CoD player

[–] LiveLoveLaff@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

Someone tell him to stop swimming in the water when Redtide is happening

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 11 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Real question. Even though I'm certain it's just projection. Where did the anti semite thing come from?

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

OP added a link above. Here's a screenshot of the start of it on X.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago

Probably the post/comment he replied to that upset him.

[–] ferretfacefrankburns@lemmy.ca 31 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Do they add meth to the water supply in Florida? Yikes.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 16 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Gotta replace the fluoride with something.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 3 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

No flouride in Florida?

[–] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 4 points 13 hours ago

Maybe too much fluoride, that's why they're so developmentally challenged over there.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 114 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

It's nice that FloridaMan had time to reveal his inner racist. Maybe he can understand why Canada wouldn't touch his state with a 10 metre pole.

[–] ElJefe@lemm.ee 23 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The metre pole detail is just mmm! chef’s kiss

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 19 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

For the Americans 10 meters is roughly 37 Subway "footlongs".

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Now I'm thinking about companies using footlongs to pull off shrinkflation.

Going to go rent a 14 footlong truck from uhaul.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 4 points 16 hours ago

Well, with America's current lack of regulation? I'd expect to see that soon! Or companies charging more for the actual spec.

[–] Dillenger69@lemmy.world 58 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, the Palestinians are Semites. If anyone is antisemitic, it's the Zionist colonists who came from Europe. People don't have beef with Judaism or Israel in this case. They have a beef with genocidal Zionists.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

Palestinians

Read this as panthers. Was confused how puma concolor was semitic for a few beats.

We need to somehow get it into Donald's head that Israel should be the 51st state.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Well he already wants to turn it into a resort.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I thought that was Gaza

Annnnnd just like that I care about the Leafs in the playoffs, now. I really hope we can make that man sadder.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news...

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 hours ago

Totally predicable for the past 60 years, news?

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 40 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

When this whole fucking thing backfires and we end up with a communist revolution, there's going to be a lot of people in a real big hurry to delete their xitter accounts.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 36 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Yeah that's not gonna happen. It's gonna be a few decades of fascism and then back to neoliberals.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 12 hours ago

Don't be ludicrous, the climate will collapse before the neoliberals rebuild their power structures.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 29 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I mean, a guy can cope, okay?

We're not going to get that far, though. We've got a poly ecological crisis happening right now between insect extinction, microplastics in brain tissue and inhibiting photosynthesis, and climate change, and the right has decided (thanks to some generous donations) that long term growth is woke, we need maximum profits right up until everyone is dead. We're just gonna plug our ears and yell "la la la can't hear you" while the lights flicker out one by one, and then all at once.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 9 points 20 hours ago

Archive it all.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Floridaman moment

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 18 points 20 hours ago

Maybe it’s Viking blood in me or something, but I really want this man afraid to show his face in my country…

[–] jhymesba@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago

What an ass.

[–] johnefrancis@lemmy.ca 12 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Is there more context for this?

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 55 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Rich people are often cunts.

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 20 hours ago

Often is a weird way of spelling always

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 7 points 20 hours ago

The only recent news I'm aware of where the words Israel and Toronto are relevant is university of Toronto faculty voting to divest from Israel, but something tells me this guy isn't one to keep up with news from academia.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 9 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

That's not the owner of the Panthers according to Wikipedia, but absolutely disgusting nonetheless.

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

And the NHL is coming down on him, and his account is now deleted lol

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 25 points 19 hours ago

This is the Florida Panthers Vice Chairman, Partner and Alternate Governor, Doug Cifu, talking shit to a Maple Leafs fan last night.

He's part of the board of the company that owns it.

[–] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 9 points 20 hours ago

when bigotry is your entire identity. hideous.
