Fucking everyone wants Trump because he's so fucking easy to manipulate.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 138 points 2 months ago

Iran and China are hesitant on him. Iran because he might be stupid enough to actually start a pointless war that's in no one's strategic interests, not even the US; China because he can be bribed, but he also swaps to the opinion of the person who last spoke to him, which makes him unpredictable (and thus makes it difficult to establish any policy that deals with the US as long as he's in power).

What can you say? He's a Salesman, sure he 'might' of destabilised the world for a bunch of consecutive paydays, but he made profit!

What a champ! /s

Still kind of surprised there hasn't been a poisoning attempt on him yet because of how much his ego thrives on being buttered up

[-] HakFoo 11 points 2 months ago

Wasn't that why he loves fast food? It's easier to target the White House supply chain for a precision poisoning than to try to hit every McDonald's in a 50km radius and hope to get lucky.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

No he just likes McDonald's

Surprising absolutely no one except for the staunchest and blindest American Zionists.

“He meddled several times during the Clinton administration...

...supported fundraisers in Israel for then-GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election

...in 2020 he was all-out for Trump.”

all that meddling and he has fuck all to show for it lol. hopefully that is a good omen for 2024.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 63 points 2 months ago

Fuck all to show for it? Democrats literally can't tell him "no, stop doing genocide" or they'll get primaried against "centrists" with twice their cash.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Centrists support genocide because AIPAC pays to rid them of progressives.

Damn, full support for a genocide that is unpopular with their own electorate, and this is the thanks they get? If you're willing to lose due to principles, at least make them good principles.

But they continue to suck his dick regardless.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

It’s the sweet ketchup scent in the diaper that keeps them coming back time and time again.

[-] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 16 points 2 months ago

What the fuck is this and where do I buy one? How do I set it on people? Does it need their scent or does it have a little slot where I can insert someone's picture and it'll automatically home in on them?

Gee Whiz ... pretty easy way to solve that problem. STOP SENDING THEM AID AND WEAPONS!!!

[-] leftist_lawyer@lemmy.today 15 points 2 months ago

I mean seriously, it's like complaining about stepping on rakes while continuing to sprint through a field of rakes.

They gonna do anything about it or continue to bend over backwards?

I'm betting just more finger wagging while competing to be the most pro zionists in Washington

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The DNC as a whole have been trying to remove PACs and undo Citizens United, which alone would gut Netanyahu's influence in the USA.

EDIT: Since this is somehow controversial, the AIPAC is a pipeline of campaign funding directly from Israel. Democrats have on several occasions pushed bills that would overturn citizens united which fail to pass both chambers of congress including HR1 For the People Act

Well, duh.

[-] Goun@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 months ago

Wait, isn't Harris pro-Israel?

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 months ago

Both "parties" compete over who's the most zionist.

You suspect?!

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Considering how much money AIPAC has donated to get rid of any progressives that were critical of the genocidal Israeli government, I'm not surprised. I'm sure they're getting even more desperate as as they need money and arms to continue the war started because of the governments sick violation of international law.

Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
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.
