"This is the behavior of a crazy person.

Trump is a massive failure as president. He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Trump has permitted Netanyahu to drag America to the threshold of war with Iran."

Same thing we did when netanyahu was the de facto president last year: Speak truth, get ignored at best and met with hostility most of the time.

This was one of the guys who spent every day agitating against Harris. Kudos, bro!

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks ago

Great job proving their point.

Like so. Hostility for being against genocide.

Biden publicly described himself as a Zionist and supported genocide while wagging his finger. Trump and his cabinet are even worse -- as expected. I mean a suggestion to evict (kill?) the residents and turn it into a resort is beyond reason.

I hope we don't get into war with Iran. Between the Republicans and Democrats that are legally bribed by aipac I think we're screwed either way.

Hopefully that 400 million dollar jet Qatar bribed Trump with gives him pause about going to war. His money making schemes are starting to conflict and he is very impulsive, so it's hard to tell what's next.

You don't get it. The united snake has it's own interests in support israel

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

None of this relationship with Israel is new to the US.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

He's in the pocket of a lot of people.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago

The same thing we did when Israel was commiting genocide, talk about it. It's what got TikTok censored by Congress. It's what costs politicians jobs by being against genocide.

But I guess it's bad now since Trump is the one doing it. Murder is bad when red team does it, it's just the way the world works when blue team does it.

Can we raid the white house and kill trump yet? Pleaaaase?

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

not like the alternative wasn't in his pocket

60 years of foreign policy

General Strike, now!

[–] notgivingmynametoamachine@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We end his stolen, illegitimate presidency any way we can.

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

I have a fantasy of a really long stockade with a lot of people just lined up in a row next to each other, and someone using a Force-wielded lightsaber just sliding down the rope of them.

And every time I try to figure out who would be in it, it gets longer. But it would for sure include every conservative in the White House, in the Senate, in the House, and I'm the Supreme Court. Just the entire lot of them, none are redeemable as leaders, as politicians, as elected, or even as low as adult humans.

Well we don’t do shit about any other nonsense. So, nothing?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

Americans when Democrats do the thing:

collapsed inline media

Americans when Republicans do the thing:

More seriously what Americans should have done to get a president not in the pocket of mass murderer Netanyahu was get the Democrats to actually represent their constituents, but lesser evil politics prevailed and now we're here. If you want a president not in the pocket of mass murderer Netanyahu now you'll have to overthrow Trump and install one yourself.

US system requires deep reform. Both parties controlled by oligarchs that favor israel.

I thought Slenderman “fixed” all this a few years ago. You mean to tell me Kushner was (is) full of shit?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

collapsed inline media

For the X-teenth time:
Eternal war, working for the same oligarchs that sponsor both wings, banks and multinationals and unconditional support for the genociders is BIPARTISAN and always was.

[–] Limonene@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This doesn't change the fact that 47 is the current problem, and is the one currently talking about nuclear war. No matter how bad Biden would have been on this issue, he is currently irrelevant.

[–] piefood@feddit.online 4 points 1 week ago

Considering that Biden's open failures as a president and candidate are the primary reasons that Trump is in power, I don't think it's irrelevant at all.

Pretty much the other way around.

[–] martin4598@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Always has been

[–] aubeynarf@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Next time don’t spend all your effort talking shit about Trump’s opponent?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Next time listen when people try to warn you that you're making a mistake.

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

You should follow the directions of ~~Trump's political opponents~~ others who are also in his pocket.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
