    Reportedly, The Prime Minister of Israel refused to be involved in a phone conversation with The President, in which he was instructed to vocally bash Joe Biden. I was wondering if it is unlawful for a sitting President to request a foreign power to insult your opponent in a presidential election. Perhaps, such a conversation would have been utilized in forthcoming campaign advertising in Florida, which is a hotly contested swing state with many Jewish Voters.

    He'll try anything if he thinks it might benefit him and provide adulation and then try to lie his way out of what he said/did as needed. He doesn't really care about peace anywhere unless it benefits him and he gets the recognition. If war helped his business he'd encourage that. It's really a very tragic way to treat others. Being kind to yourself and everyone else is something we need so much more of and I want leaders who encourage that and then keep building on that.

    It's absolutely illegal. It's treasonous. But the current Repubs are simply ignoring laws, facts, Constitutional protections, and the like.
