Peter Rothpletz on the planned assassination of the top House Democrat, Graham Platner's latest crisis, JD Vance's disturbing remarks in Israel, and Cameroon’s presidential election.
“Well, Jared’s the investor here.”—Vice President JD Vance, on a visit to Israel, said the quiet part out loud about Jared Kushner’s real role in the Gaza ceasefire deal.”
And there in lies the rub! Trump is getting credit for a ceasefire that doesn’t exist. And his coterie of Middle Eastern kleptocrats are all in it for the money. There is no peace deal, just a slow descent into chaos.
The Saudi’s, Qatar and the UAE for the first time have a president willing to give away the store for his own personal financial gain and they will readily accept his offer. Everything is “pay for play” and transactional with Trump.
The Middle Eastern kleptocrats have been big investors in TikTok and Nvidia; and now we’re selling our most advanced AI chips to the UAE as part of the bargain.
Quick question? How long before China gets their hands on these CHIP’s that will create a national security threat? It’s a rhetorical question, no need to answer!
Bottom line: Trump and his crony’s are despicable parasites selling away the future of this nation. The Palestinian’s are nothing more than a political football for the ME kleptocrats and Trump; pawns to be moved and shuffled as they see fit; their lives irrelevant! And the Israeli’s under Netanyahu and his messianic Jews will never agree to a two state solution. Therefore, this in entire ceasefire is an exercise in futility.
Don’t get me wrong, a ceasefire is preferred and necessary; however, it’s all about what comes next, and so far, there is little evidence Trump’s plan will be accepted by either side; especially for the Palestinian’s, since it is a suicide pact!IMHO…:)
Little Lord Privy Steal Jared and his partner in crime Phony Tony B Liar are hell bent on wiping Gaza off the map and building the Trump Gaza Plaza, Spa and Resort with multiple golf courses.
As for the Palestinians, they get a choice--one way ticket out of Gaza or staying and being the staff at the resort...
Just a personal opinion, offered only for informational purposes, as I clearly don't speak for everyone, but I felt a little uncomfortable with the casual tone of this newsletter. No complaints about the content, but I come to Zeteo for journalism, and passages like "a rabid, frothing horde of Pillsbury Dough fascists" lean a little too far into opinion for my taste. There's absolutely a place for that, but it isn't what I was hoping to see in a daily newsletter.
Anyway, that's me, and I'm clearly a square. Others are evidently digging the newsletter right where it is now, so I don't want to rock the boat. Just wanted to add my perspective.
I want to thank you for showing pictures of the new Kings protest and for keeping that going.
Maga makes up, lies and talks about it every day consistently for years. It is a discipline we lack . We have the largest protest in history of the United States, except for Earth Day in the early 70s, and it is already almost off of all of our talking points.
We need to talk about the 7 -8.5 million peaceful protesters that came out from around the entire nation in blue states and importantly in red states and keep showing pictures not just to get the message across that there’s a real opposition to maga from throughout the nation, but also to keep reinforcing on the people that came out, and give them that good feeling again
I stand for Graham Platner also. He is not the most sophisticate philosopher around, but if we had 66 guys like him in the Senate, instead of decrepit money suckers we have there, the country would be in a much better shape
Another great newsletter. However, can we please put an end to these hypothetical what if Joe Biden said x, what if Obama did y, what if Kamala said z? If Democrats want to put up a fuss about something, they should just do it. Constantly talking about republicans being willing to make a fuss about democrats while Democrats seem unable to pick an offence that is great enough to call out says more about democrats being unwilling to pick a fight and casts us into plan imaginary useless political and temporal dreamland and accomplishes nothing. If you read it out loud to yourself once or twice you will realize how hollow and useless it sounds. If that doesn’t help, try substituting “Mr. Rogers”, or “Winnie the Pooh” for the politician name and that could help.
A 👍 for the first "First Draft". Everything was super and i personally loved the Emojis with the big black captions, was something refreshing 😁
Thank you!
Appreciate the Zeteo Team providing a Daily Digest of real news...unlike the BS coming from the Corporate Controlled Conservative Press in the US.
By the way, where have I seen "CCCP" before? Damn I know I remember it from someplace in the past...
I like this. It's a good addition to your repertoire. I especially like the satire.
Thank you!
Many of us don't consider AIPAC-owned anti-democratic voting Jeffries to BE a Democrat anymore, but whatever.

I'd like to know how many of the 1/6ers that Trump released are now serving as brown shirts, aka ICE agents.

Great newsletter Peter. You're doing an awesome job with it. I look forward to reading First Draft every weekday!

#47 has the morals of a guinea pig and the scruples of a gangster. In any POTUS, we get what we want. Sadly.
Why are you picking on guinea pigs? Their morals are "eat carrots and poop."

Another fantastic newsletter! Really enjoying your sense of humour too, 😁!

Violence is NEVER the answer!
Sorry that some would believe that it is ok because “I don’t consider him a democrat” Really? That statement says volumes!
Stand peaceful and united! America has a soul…let it be seen!
PEACE
