"SNIP..........


David Friedman, who previously said Jewish people who supported a two-state solution were worse than Nazi collaborators, is an important step closer to becoming America’s Ambassador to Israel.

Donald Trump’s pick for what has for decades been one of the most senior US diplomatic posts, was approved by the Foreign Relations Committee. Mr Friedman now has to be confirmed by the full senate. With the senate weighted 52-48 in favour of the Republicans, Mr Friedman would expect that to happen.

Yet nothing is certain. Members of the Republican-led panel on Thursday voted 12-9 - a move that played out largely along party lines and a possible indication of a battle that may lie ahead. New Jersey senator Bob Menendez broke ranks with his fellow Democrats to support Mr Friedman.

1. Bad news for this country?

Probably worse news for the Palestinians.

2. Fuckface looks for the worst possible choice for every pick, as revenge on Obama

and Hillary.

Destroying the country is his goal. He and Bannon are on record that this is their goal.

4. Yep. Always the worst of the worst.

5. And the worst they are, the more damage they do

the dreadfully stupid tpartiers and deplorables cheer.
