Fuck Trump, fuck Biden, and fuck Netanyahu. And while we're at it, fuck Putin and fuck Xi. Not a lot of decent people at the top these days.
That was always the case. Being at the top pretty much requires being a bastard.
That's why the best ruler is no ruler.🏴
Fuck them all. I just hope Americans are ready for the terror they’ve spread around the world, to be in their streets.
The lesser of two evils, ladies and gents.
Genocide, whaddaya gunna do. Your tax dollars at work.
Don't you know Trump is gonna genocide harder? Some shitlib told me yesterday trump will conduct a real genocide, as if the one happening in front of our eyes is fake
Are you talking about the Trump that won't quit talking about how antisemitic Biden has been in the Gaza genocide?

Imagine seeing someone yell at a rapist in the middle of raping that they aren't raping viciously enough and then thinking that it would be good to send that guy in there instead. I agree, no rape would be best, but I'm pretty sure the victim in this case would prefer the current rapist over the one complaining about how the current rapist is being offensively gentle.
Beyond your disgusting analogy, if you think Palestinians give a shit who sends the bombs to Israel that are going to kill them you're not living in reality.
Tell me you're voting for Biden on domestic policy grounds, and I'll agree with you because that's my plan, but stop dressing this up as anything that's not as bad as it could be
I'm talking about the people that passed a resolution proclaiming opposition to Zionism is antisemitic. I'm talking about the people using police across the country to silence opposition to Zionism and genocide. I'm talking about the people that's taken millions of AIPAC money to carry out the demands of Zionists.
Oh well that’s a Democrat genocide. It’s a more humane genocide, free range and organic. Better for the environment.
The package can be blocked by Congress if a majority in both chambers object.
Reminder that Biden has already went around Congress this year to send weapons to Israel.
Checks and balances only matter when it can be used to stop things voters want for some reason.
I doubt the Congress that's taken multi millions in AIPAC money will vote against it.
In fact, the GOP Congress was going to push Biden to send this stuff if he didn’t relent: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/house-gop-pushes-bill-to-force-biden-to-continue-transfer-of-weapons-to-israel/ar-BB1mq29M?ocid=nl_article_link
Biden’s trying to win over some undecided right leaning voters with this whole $1B deal and it’s sickening to his own party.
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s most upvoted posts on Reddit and Lemmy teaching us how the other clowns from the rival circus are still worse. While condemning the killings of children in Gaza with those weapons sold today.
It’s impossible there was ever a society this manipulated and stupid.
Don't they have a point though? Your system is broken and the lesser of two evils is all you ever get to pick.
Yeah but when you point that out you're called a idiot for unintentionally backing Trump. Any criticism of the system or Biden no matter how deserved somehow is support for Trump
FFS. Biden is a complete cunt. Trump GOP is still worse
Why does Biden want innocent people dead and why does nobody try to stop him? What has become of humanity? Has everyone gone insane?
Republican lawmakers in Congress have introduced legislation intended to prevent any further pauses in weapons shipments to the US ally.
It's all bullshit
Ideology is one hell of a drug
Business and military industrial complex is one hell of a shitshow.
ftfy
Wot? No more crocodile tears? Fucking hypocritical genocidal cunt
Hes really pulling a Hilary with this shit.
Intentionally throwing away an election he thinks is sure fire win for him, because Trumps the only other option.
The risk isnt people turning to vote for Trump, the risk is people that would have voted for him not voting at all. . Because he'd rather doom a people to extermination than fix his own country.
Man Biden is really trying to lose the upcoming election isn't he. A year ago I would not have predicted that he would fuck up such an easy reelection this badly, but here we are. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory I guess.
Apparently Biden has always been this shitty when it comes to Palestine. Some things children just never grow out of it seems.
Millions of children never grew old because of Kissingers little psychopathic padawans in Washington for decades now. Those children don’t care about this one losing or winning his little beauty contest.
And millions of children will die in the future no matter whose dick is being sucked in the Oval Office. There are more omnipotent deciders who decide who lives and who dies.
This greedy, bloodthirsty, manipulative, sociopathic voting won’t change anything no matter who wins.
USA: "It's good business"
Headline from two days ago:
‘Total outrage’: White House condemns Israeli settlers’ attack on Gaza aid trucks
My comment on it:
It’s taken them over half a year, but Biden has finally discovered that Israel is committing crimes against humanity. Let’s hope they don’t forget about it the second Netanyahu pretends to be a little bit obedient.
Damn, really speedrunning that disappointment, huh
Lol my comment from last week which got heavily downvoted:
Considering Biden repealed his settler sanctions, I'd actually bet this eventually gets approved after Israel promises to pay shipping fees in exchange for breaking the SLA stating they can't do a genocide
mfw he doubled down and approved another massive sale on top of the smaller blocked shipment.
It was obvious from the start it was political posturing as he had already sent them so much and it wasn't like they immediately needed it. Just like the port to deliver aid, also posturing to look good.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
