Everyone already knows that Trump himself was a pedophile. Yet he's still president, and no one's seriously challenging him on this. When he said "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters", for once I believed him. His utter shamelessness gives him total immunity over any puny attempt at blackmail.

Is it really harder to believe that support from Israel is more complex than simple blackmail? There are a lot of pro-Israel people in and around power, Trump is far from alone on this. The Military Industrial Complex, Oligarchs, Corporations, they all win from the wars waged by Israel and the US in the Middle East.
