    This point is so frequently missed, some presidents are harder on Israel than others but you’d be silly to think any US leader in this situation would act much different.

    Historically, Nixon bailed Israel out, caused an oil crisis. Carter tried, Reagan fucked it all up and blamed Israel. The Bushes, Clinton, and Obama all tried but Trump blew it. He left Palestine out of the Accord and moved our embassy to Jerusalem, which stoked the fires.

    Thank you for sharing this, it didn’t disappoint. The die hard efforts we take to save a buck or exercise ingenuity mostly work out but when it comes to the wife and kids I usually throw in the towel.

    I’ll give you a short story in return in that same vain: woke up to a raccoon on our deck, he was obviously in a pretty bad way. Pacing, frothing, sparse hair, lice. We figured it was rabid and I just wanted to try dropping a brick on it from above or smashing it, but I knew it would’ve been messy. Went out and bought an $80 trap, set it, but the dang thing just wouldn’t go in. Well she wanted her deck space back so ultimately we called someone to remove it, $200. Turns out it had distemper. Now I would’ve waited until it died and then bagged it up - would’ve been cheaper but I guess at least we ended its suffering.
