I honestly thought that was more of a typical dem misstep and that it was genuinely about something else, but posted with the typical lib timing and cluelessness

I still think this could be a case of 'old man known for being basically senile and continually misspeaking misspeaks' but...

I cannot wait for this absolute ghoul to die and be buried. I will commemorate it by drinking a gallon of Mountain Dew and using his headstone to relieve myself

After Biden dies...

"Israel has a right to defend itself. That is not - I repeat not - a joke, jack. Let's see. Gotta tell a joke. A joke. Let's see. My next joke is... It's... A rabbi, a priest, and me go to a bar..."

The audience groans. But they can never leave. It is hell after all.

First president to be honest about it being a US fiefdom, dignity is back to the Oval Office agony-wholesome

brump "I could shoot someone on 5th Ave, Jack"

"I could bomb 5th Ave, Jack" nuke

Oh, god.

After the shooting I can hear a MSNBC talking head squawking...

"More than one million Americans tragically died of covid. Trump killed most of them. That's context. Let's focus on what's important - the election. After the election he's gonna have a trial and we can get down to brass tacks. But for now it's a given we must stop fascism. What's one more dead American in comparison to that?..."

Actually - it's totally bizarre to me in this election season how covid deaths along with long covid are entirely ignored. Then again covid doesn't have a flag, a country, or even a language and we can't get revenge by literally going to war against it. It seems to me ignoring all the covid suffering and death is the strongest example of bipartisanship that currently exists in the US.

For real, once the spotlight is off something, it's gone.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

Even when the spotlight was on - Americans were still asleep to a lot of stuff. As far as I know - Biden's infrastructure bill budgeted effectively nothing for upgrading buildings to have better filtration and ventilation. Climate change will cause expected and sudden problems. We could have another "once in a century" pandemic just a decade or two from now. And if there's no magic bullet vaccine like for covid - Biden will have fucked the US from beyond the grave.

Vote!

[-] 0x0520@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

There wasn't even a magic bullet vaccine for covid. Its a better-than-nothing vaccine that wears off in 3 months, but Capital needs meat for the grinder sooo...

Notice the King doesn't act surprised or shocked at this statement. How complicit is Jordan in the oppression of Palestine?

[-] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

Well King Hussein is the archetypical Arab leader betraying the Palestinians. He did Black September. So one can imagine that demon's failson's involvement is not very good

[-] abuttandahalf@lemmy.ml 22 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Entirely complicit. The American base in Jordan is used to strike the resistance. The land bridge providing Israel with supplies bypassing the red sea goes through Jordan.

[-] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 5 months ago

Fun fact: they'll block you on twitter for mentioning that Jordan is the biggest exporter of tomatoes to tel aviv

I want to shove this in the face of every reddit lib who said "if trump was elected, we'd see actual american soldiers invading gaza"

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

So tired of this asshole

[-] Fishroot@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

Not completely wrong

[-] What_Religion_R_They@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

teamed up with the democratic kingdom of jordan to attack the totalitarian republic of palestine

[-] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

This is taken from a press conference where Biden is saying that Jordan and the US are literally attempting to get Israel to stop attacking Rafah via a hostage deal where they get some Israelis returned in exchange for halting the offensive on Rafah. https://piped.video/watch?v=aZUshbIWkis& @0:48 - 1:06

Biden & his administration have enabled the genocide against Palestinians to a large degree, and their attempts to get Israel to stop attacking Rafah are highly likely to be ineffectual, but this is an obviously propagandized framing of a common occurrence: Biden, a man in his 80s, misspeaking. Stuff like this weakens the arguments against Liberals because it is attacking a strawman. Attack them on the actual merits, not an 82 year old president known for misspeaking referring to the actions of a military ally as "our operation" before correcting himself quickly afterward.

Could this be evidence of a conspiracy where somehow the US did the attack on Rafah? I guess? Sure, it's possible. Is it the only or even the most likely explanation? No, obviously not.

[-] Scarry@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

literally attempting to get Israel to not continue to attack Rafah

Lmao
