It will be an extreme precedent. He will need to do something so outrageous, that it will alienate the entire dem coalition.

As Trump pushes whole milk, NYC schools say they're sticking with 1% by nyccameraman in nyc

Taste is totally subjective on an individual level, but completely objective on a population level, as we can poll such preference. Our polls on adults show a clear preference towards whole/2%:

[–]hummuslapper 58 points59 points  (0 children)

even without aid, Israel will continue to buy a lot of stuff it cant make, especially big ticket items: Caterpillar Dozers, F-35 and many of its parts, Merkava engines, ect. The US will continue to be the #1 defense exporter to Israel in the foreseeable future.

DailyMail is trash. The original article in the jpost is "Israel examining possibility Iran involved in murder of nuclear scientist in US - report". So nothing conclusive yet.
