Hold on I’m screenshotting this for the next time a Biden die hard tells me there’s no one denying the existence of a genocide.

Oh we’ve cared. It’s just that previous democratic presidents were working to stop settlements and work towards the two state solution.

This turbo kill approach is new.

That doesn’t mean it’s going to be fun to live through.

Viva la Gilded Age!

He can absolutely stop giving them half their ammunition and ordnance. Seems like a lot less Palestinians would die in that case.

Which is a de facto admission he knows Israel is committing war crimes with the weapons and that he has the power to stop military aid at any time.

This is Student Loans all over again where his cult says he can’t do it, because he doesn’t have that power. And then he does it.

Edit to add, he also released those bombs to Israel something like last week?

The Leahy Law and Foreign Assistance Act make sending that aid illegal, no matter how much Congress appropriates.

You mean like our intelligence agencies finding Israel’s claims to be “low confidence”

The literal second he tells the CIA to hand him the unedited file it’s over.

Bullshit.

Says one of two people that have showed up to frame this as an either/or problem we can’t possibly even try to tackle. It’s either commit genocide or lose our democracy. No possible other option, especially after a disastrous debate that confirmed fears of age related mental decline.

It Is Not a binary choice. First of all, Biden can still change course. Second Biden can be replaced. It is not a choice between Trump and blindly supporting whatever warm body is in opposition to him.

AIPAC has only won one house race this year, and that was an already vulnerable incumbent. They’re nothing like titans like the NRA.

You let them know. You don’t just sit on it. The one thing that will move a politician is knowing they can’t get elected again if they keep doing something. By throwing “But Trump!” at us, no matter how obliquely, you’re just protecting a genocide.

Or. Just maybe. We could actually care enough to pressure Biden.

No? Just going to shove your head in the ground and pretend politics is an immutable object?

I can’t imagine why Biden was already in so much polling trouble. It can’t possibly be the cult like atmosphere around him preventing him from contacting reality.

Effectively yes. The Sackler family proved that. Regulators let them kill thousands of people. It took the criminal justice system tracking the pills back to have consequences and accountability.

Americans would shrug it off as a foreign problem. We’re idiots like that.

You do know that’s just an impromptu poll right? Like they just flip to the sheet of paper for that issue and put a tick mark in the for or against columns. Very rarely will they pass a substantive argument to the representative.

Yeah Absolutely. I don’t know about heavy equipment operators. Like, I literally don’t know enough about what they do. But the sappers and route clearance teams that worked with us are exposed just as much. And training is as much of a problem as actual combat.

Yup. The stuff that’s coming out is scary for anyone who was in Combat Arms for a long time. The thing is, you can look at the different sections of the military and see immediately where the brain damage occurs. Anyone adjacent to combat arms could have told you this decades ago. I didn’t mean that negatively. It’s apparent in the difference in culture, prevailing attitudes, and the soldiers around them continuously being quoted with stuff like, “there’s something crazy about those guys.”

Same echo chamber that’s been rattling around Lemmy, accusing everyone who doesn’t worship Biden of being MAGA.
