It depends on what they're making fun of in regards to the person. If he's joking about her being trans, that is punching down. If he's joking about her unchecked privileges, that is punching up. Think less about people's identity and more about their needs and then you will get a sense of direction.

wage theft is the largest of all thefts: https://www.tcworkerscenter.org/2018/09/wage-theft-vs-other-forms-of-theft-in-the-u-s/
Even by their own standards they're the biggest thieves.
Happy birthday! I was just telling my therapist how awesome this place is
The argument is that we're not using our strongest influence by virtue of not threatening to withhold arms (even though it would be in US interest to do so to preserve influence in the region). I am not arguing that the US controls Israel like some vassal state.
If the US has no influence over Israel in regards to this conflict than that sounds like a critical policy failure and a huge geopolitical risk.
Edit: I'm curious what potential Israel allies you speak of that are not aligned with the US? Our own allies are distancing themselves from this clusterfuck.
If you don't see how Israel is undermining America's soft power then idk what to say.
You talk about how foreign policy is about power and influence - I am saying Biden doesn't understand how influence works as evidence by him not using his power to influence Israeli policy even though it is leading to a more volatile middle east and lower approval ratings at home. In other words, he is undermining his own influence. But go on and tell us how we're children for expecting more.
I wonder if there will be another lawsuit over bombing / shooting the hostages. Just horrific.
I think their goal is to displace 90% into Egypt and kill the rest. Still genocide.
Yeah, we totally reined in their terror by giving them everything they wanted. Biden thinks if he is nice enough they will return in kind. He tends to use the same tactic when negotiating with Republicans 🤦♂️
She should setup a GoFundMe and ~~fleece~~ ask other bigots for the money. let them eat each other.
