And this is why you lost the election. You never fucking learn, do you?

He, Hillary, and Pelosi need to retire and enjoy doing something else than screwing up with America

[–] pyrflie@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

If they ever interact with politics again link to this page and strangle them. These three have fucked up enough elections.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

People don't learn at that age. Most people actually don't learn that well after their mid-20s.

BTW, I thought they do, until I've read that this is too an autistic trait - one's ability to learn degrades much slower, till maybe 40s. Guess I am a r*tard after all.

Outrageous! How the fuck are we supposed to murder, rob, subjugate, steal, and run our modern-day slave empires if the ICC can just go and arrest people all willy-nilly and shit?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 118 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck you, Biden. Shit like this is what just opened the door to Project 2025.

[–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 63 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Nope, they lost because they blindly support the billionaires over everyday people. Israel is a tiny symptom of the real problem, which is the concentration of wealth.

They bailed out the teamsters pension fund and had to fight Republicans tooth and nail to do it — didnt even result in am endorsement and majority of teamsters still voted GOP.

CHIP act made Arizona flush with manufacturing and construction jobs, still voted GOP.

The reason Democrats lose is because they have to campaign against a made-up Republican that is normal and reasonable and Republicans get to campaign against the Oberlin faculty lounge instead of Democrats

Crumbs will not be tolerated any longer. Universal Health, Universal Education, Universal Housing. What people want is clear. The message could not have been any louder. They have trouble feeding their family, and Biden is busy taking victory laps whining about why people can't see what a good job he's done. While rent and food are doubling for the large knot of Americans stuck in the 35-40k dollar income segment.

They don't want to hear excuses, and they don't want crumbs. Politicians have the power to knock down any and all barriers to re-aligning the economy. Instead the democrats chose to play to the upper middle class, and donors. They went sharp right and only announced progressive policies when they were losing ground in the polls. People noticed that and knew those promises were as good as Biden's. (toilet paper)

[–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 13 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Yet they never tackled the monopolies in the healthcare, food and housing industries responsible for the cost of living crisis, which cost them the election.

He's at the end of his career, doesn't need the money to fight the zionists propaganda, so that means he actually believes this.

OR like I suspected before, Israel houses A LOT of secret US intelligence and defense capabilities

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Israel has one base with a radar station that could easily be in Jordan. That's it. The majority of US assets are in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain.

[–] pyrflie@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

End of the family line solves this problem.

[–] buttfarts@lemy.lol 9 points 14 hours ago

Yes this. The US isn't shy to back genocides done to secure control of territories held by US friendly regimes. It's kinda their thing really

He welcomes Trump with open arms, and acts like a lame duck. But can still get fired up to defend war criminals and try to stop Bernie’s move to block arms shipments. I don’t even know what to say.

[–] pyrflie@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

And People wonder why the US didn't vote for dems.

Basically the same.

[–] buttfarts@lemy.lol 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Trump will help Bibi finish off the Palestinians entirely without Biden's modest pretense of pretending to give a shit about a two-state solution

[–] BEATUPTHEYANK@lemmings.world 1 points 59 minutes ago* (last edited 58 minutes ago)

Of course he doesn. He's an american. Americans have no souls.

Free america from yanks from the potomac to the pacific.

Nasty people, really.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 45 points 23 hours ago

You say what was obvious from the start. Democrats were never going to stop the genocide in Gaza.

I'm surprised it didn't happen years ago. I'm also outraged that no u.s president has been tried

huh, we wasn't cynically posturing for election purposes, he really wants to die on this hill :/

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Seems or entire government does. How much shady shit does isreal do for our country? Our official imports and exports don't really look that dramatic.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Israel is the world leader in spyware and surveillance software. All the cameras, drones, contact-free checkpoints, and automated guns on the Gaza perimeter? IIRC, Elbit is making them on the southern US border.

Gaza, West Bank, and southern Lebanon are proof of concept for dealing with climate crisis.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Our intelligence community rebelled as much as possible several times. They even released a report telling everyone that Israel was lying. Newspapers spun it to be something that's too vague to tell. But the "level" they assessed the Israeli claims at is actually the lowest level, completely unsupportable and/or directly contradicted by evidence. It's certainly not high enough confidence to be used as the basis for a national strategy. At most it's the level where you send a small team to get more evidence. Instead Biden repeated these lies every time, sometimes even after they had been publicly debuked.

USAID straight up leaked to ProPublica that they assessed a systemic war crime of blocking food aid and that they had reported this fact to Blinken, the Sec. of State, before he publicly said Israel was not committing war crimes and could receive more military aid.

It's not the entire government, it's 3 people. Biden who is ordering the shipments. And then Blinken and Sullivan (National Security Advisor, all intel flows through him) are rubber stamping Israeli reports and blocking any official recognition of war crimes. And this is not a case of Sullivan keeping facts from Biden. We know this because there are leaked reports of Biden being mad at Netanyahu for not doing his stuff quietly enough.

It's fucking 2002 all over again except this time it's a Democrat in charge of lying to the country on a massive scale.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 hour ago

It's a whole lot more than just 3 people. Trump has already said he backs isreal and so has most of the senate, it seems. Isreal has both parties.

"Were there not an Israel, the United States would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region."

-- Joe Biden

Israel is good for 2 things, as far as 60% of Congress is concerned: destabilizing Muslim countries to prevent a strong coalition from forming, and donating money to US politicians. What's a little genocide in the face of that?

Maybe I'm soft but I find the dead and starving children to be slightly more outrageous
