"This is the behavior of a crazy person.

Trump is a massive failure as president. He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Trump has permitted Netanyahu to drag America to the threshold of war with Iran."

US system requires deep reform. Both parties controlled by oligarchs that favor israel.

I was about to say. Not in his pocket but fuck buddies.

Pretty much the other way around.

Voting him in is the behaviour of a crazy nation so I'm guessing most americans want this.

Same thing we did when netanyahu was the de facto president last year: Speak truth, get ignored at best and met with hostility most of the time.

This was one of the guys who spent every day agitating against Harris. Kudos, bro!

Wait another month and wave some signs ?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Witty signs no less. To show that despite the apparent severity of the state of the world, they do have a sense of humour.

They might as well ban all guns now. I was willing to go along with this weekly(?) school shooting schedule as long as that meant they would actually use the guns when the time came. But now that the time has come, all those kids seem to have died for nothing.

Biden publicly described himself as a Zionist and supported genocide while wagging his finger. Trump and his cabinet are even worse -- as expected. I mean a suggestion to evict (kill?) the residents and turn it into a resort is beyond reason.

I hope we don't get into war with Iran. Between the Republicans and Democrats that are legally bribed by aipac I think we're screwed either way.

Hopefully that 400 million dollar jet Qatar bribed Trump with gives him pause about going to war. His money making schemes are starting to conflict and he is very impulsive, so it's hard to tell what's next.

None of this relationship with Israel is new to the US.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

You don't get it. The united snake has it's own interests in support israel

He's in the pocket of a lot of people.

The same thing we did when Israel was commiting genocide, talk about it. It's what got TikTok censored by Congress. It's what costs politicians jobs by being against genocide.

But I guess it's bad now since Trump is the one doing it. Murder is bad when red team does it, it's just the way the world works when blue team does it.

Can we raid the white house and kill trump yet? Pleaaaase?
