It's like every decision this admin makes is carefully crafted to ensure the worst possible outcomes. There is literally no upside to a decision like this for our country ... beyond pandering to evangelicals and AIPAC.

I'm sure Trump thought this through very carefully......like he does everything (roll eyes here).

It wasn't really a decision for Trump to make, the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 was put into law 22 years ago and punted down the road by the last presidents. It is Israel's decision on their capital, not ours.

Okay, are you saying our government should obey the laws they pass? Wow. What a novel idea.

"Funny since it was voted into law years ago."
Wait what,,, follow a law that was enacted in 1995...
"The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995[1] is a public law of the United States passed by the 104th Congress on October 23, 1995. It was passed for the purposes of initiating and funding the relocation of the Embassy of the United States in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no later than May 31, 1999 Support for the bill was overwhelming. It passed the Senate by a 93 to 5 vote, with four Republicans and one Democrat voting no. It passed the House 374 to 37, with 153 Democrats joining.

SGM Erik Marquez - That is a fact and with broad bipartisan support of a Democratic President. The Republicans were not acting like a bunch of obstructionist, I bet if this bill was voted on the floor today every Democrat would vote against it and John McCain would vote no on grounds that it is not good for national security.
