No Matter What Happens In 2020, Trump And Netanyahu Will Keep Their Big Win
Democrats hoping to take the White House probably won't challenge Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the U.S. Embassy there.

As Benjamin Netanyahu looks set to begin his fifth term as prime minister of Israel — after working with an openly racist party and promising an unprecedented seizure of land claimed by the Palestinians — the hallmark achievement of his political alliance with President Donald Trump seems more secure than ever.

Democratic leaders and national security veterans of all stripes slammed Trump’s December 2017 decision to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the U.S. Embassy there. Trump’s Democratic and Republican predecessors had all worried that recognizing Jerusalem as the Israeli capital before a final Israeli-Palestinian deal would hinder peace negotiations. But now that the 2020 race for U.S. president is underway, the party’s candidates are silent on the question of Jerusalem — and the Democratic foreign policy establishment is skeptical that reversing Trump’s decision is a fight the next Democratic president will want to pick.

Twenty-two Democratic presidential hopefuls failed to answer a HuffPost inquiry asking whether they would change course on Jerusalem. That included Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who criticized the president’s move at the time.

The lone Democrat to comment was author Marianne Williamson, who in a Tuesday night email called Trump’s action “unnecessarily aggressive,” but said moving the embassy back risks “unnecessary and unhelpful drama.”


Experts in contact with other Democratic campaigns seem to agree — and they aren’t saying what Palestinians, or voters keen to see Trump’s controversial policies unraveled, might hope to hear.

“I don’t think you can reverse the embassy,” said Ilan Goldenberg, of the Center for a New American Security, who worked on Israel-Palestinian issues at the State Department under President Barack Obama.

Jeremy Ben-Ami, the head of the left-leaning pro-Israel group J Street, told HuffPost that Trump’s decision is “very, very hard to undo.”

And Ned Price, an Obama White House aide now helping run an influential group of foreign policy hands called National Security Action, said, ”Trump’s move, however detrimental it was to the long-term goal of a durable two-state solution, would be difficult to undo.”

Trump said nothing about Palestinians’ claims to a capital of their own in Jerusalem, and he’s since shut down the consulate general that traditionally served as a de facto U.S. embassy to them. Now that the deed is done, Democratic foreign policy commentators are focusing on other options a new president could use to show the Palestinians the U.S. is interested in their concerns and serious about being a mediator in the conflict.

“It’s not a bell you can easily unring,” Price said. “But there are specific policy moves the next president could take to restore the idea of America as an honest broker on the side of an enduring peace. And there’s a consensus coalescing around those.”

Remind me, isn't Pence the little bitch that won't get in a room alone with a woman because he might get wood? Or is he overcompensating for something else, judging by his fear of homosexuality? Either way, what a fucking loser. He has got to be kidding with that nonsense. This is why we're failing. We have whiny bitchass leaders like Trump who takes a dump on twitter at every slight...and Pence who is a caricature of a real pussy. Then they take the real men like McCain and whine about them. Unbelievable what losers we have become. And stupid!

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Wednesday sent a letter to the House Ways and Means Committee, saying he would not be able to review the Committee's request for President Donald Trump's tax returns by the April 10th deadline. And part of the reason has to do with whether or not the request is appropriate.


"We begin with an awareness of Congressional concerns already raised regarding this inquiry," Mnuchin wrote. "In the last Congress, the Committee on Ways and Means issued a formal report concerning a House resolution of inquiry seeking information you request. The Committee determined such a request would be 'an abuse of authority' and 'set a dangerous precedent by targeting a single individual's confidential tax returns and associated financial documents for disclosure' for political reasons."

Mnuchin also reminded Chairman Richard Neal of one important tidbit: Neal himself recognized the "unprecedented nature of the request."

"The Committee's request raises serious issues concerning the constitutional scope of Congressional investigative authority, the legitimacy of the asserted legislative purpose, and the constitutional right of American citizens," Mnuchin wrote. "The legal implications of this request could affect protections for all Americans against politically motivated disclosures of personal tax information, regardless of which party is in power."


According to NBC News, Chairman Neal is consulting with legal counsel. He anticipates a response in the next few days.

When Neal filed his former request with the Treasury Department last week, he was sure the request was proper.

"I am certain we are within our legitimate legislative, legal and oversight rights," Neal said.

According to the Associated Press, "the IRS commissioner is required to provide access to any taxpayer’s returns when directed by the chairmen of the House or Senate tax-writing committees."

President Donald Trump on Wednesday, said he would not release his tax returns while he's under an audit.
