"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."

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!

Great job proving their point.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Like so. Hostility for being against genocide.

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.

We end his stolen, illegitimate presidency any way we can.

I have a fantasy of a really long stockade with a lot of people just lined up in a row next to each other, and someone using a Force-wielded lightsaber just sliding down the rope of them.

And every time I try to figure out who would be in it, it gets longer. But it would for sure include every conservative in the White House, in the Senate, in the House, and I'm the Supreme Court. Just the entire lot of them, none are redeemable as leaders, as politicians, as elected, or even as low as adult humans.

60 years of foreign policy

General Strike, now!

Americans when Democrats do the thing:

Americans when Republicans do the thing:

More seriously what Americans should have done to get a president not in the pocket of mass murderer Netanyahu was get the Democrats to actually represent their constituents, but lesser evil politics prevailed and now we're here. If you want a president not in the pocket of mass murderer Netanyahu now you'll have to overthrow Trump and install one yourself.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Well we don’t do shit about any other nonsense. So, nothing?

Fascists usually leave power when they die.

I thought Slenderman “fixed” all this a few years ago. You mean to tell me Kushner was (is) full of shit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Pretty much the other way around.

For the X-teenth time:
Eternal war, working for the same oligarchs that sponsor both wings, banks and multinationals and unconditional support for the genociders is BIPARTISAN and always was.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This doesn't change the fact that 47 is the current problem, and is the one currently talking about nuclear war. No matter how bad Biden would have been on this issue, he is currently irrelevant.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Considering that Biden's open failures as a president and candidate are the primary reasons that Trump is in power, I don't think it's irrelevant at all.
