Hey. silver lining! When PAB destroys NATO we won't have to worry about whether Ukraine joins or not!

The US fucked around. We will now be finding out.

// At no point has he ever sided with any people who have actually been oppressed against their oppressor, and that is where the difference lies. //

Not true, Robyn! He totes supports the J6ers who rose up against the oppression of having to accept the fair and legal outcome of an election that didn't go their way! He completely supports the poor people who are oppressed by having to acknowledge the existence and humanity of LGBTQ+ people.

Wait, what? You say that's not really oppression? Wow, they sure make it sound like it is.

Since they were in power at the time, they were the oppressors that day as well

Don't you be pouring water over my sarcasm with your "objective reality" and "facts."

Ta, Robyn. I. Just. Can't. Even.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned. Trump just announced that Mike Huckabee is his choice to be new US Ambassador to Israel. Yes. That Mike Huckabee. The guy that said “ There’s really no such thing as a Palestinian”. Fuck me.

As far as I can tell, Jack Smith is over on Bluesky, ripping into Trump, the voters who put him there, and the oligarchs who are running the show.

I’ve been saying for a while that Bibi’s plan for Gaza is ethnic cleansing and annexation. And now he’s confirming it.

Well, a message had to be sent to Dems because they're the only ones with political agency. Murc's Law...it's Cruise Control for Cool (and Clout!). Not so much fun when the consequences come.

Only a cursed ventriloquist dummy like Jared Kushner could look at Gaza and think, “time shares!”

OT: for a much needed mental health break, a big shoutout to Chunk, the Groundhog. Also anything by Bob Ross. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkOmaLlXiVs

The dipshits who voted for Dump, or who just didn't vote for Harris, in order to "protest the genocide" can congratulate themselves on taking a proud oral stance that will absolutely result in the genocide getting much, much worse. I actually unfriended a couple of my dumber lefty friends over this shit.

If you actually cared about Palestine or Ukraine, you'd be against the dude who'd happily give the resources Ukrainians needed to defend themselves to the people committed to ethnic cleansing the Palestinians.

I can understand, for whatever personal reasons, perhaps prioritizing Palestine over Ukraine. I cannot understand how a person could care ONLY about Palestine while being utterly indifferent to the end of Ukraine, mass deportations, trans kids, reproductive health care, women who'll die of miscarriages, a free press, SCOTUS appointments, voting rights, book bans, etc. etc. etc.

If you prioritized Palestine, you'd have shown up and voted. Because Trump promised to let them be bombed off the face of the earth.

Ideology won over the actual people who are suffering.

It was always virtue signaling.

Plus even caring only about Palestine, letting dump get elected basically guaranteed that Gaza is going to be utterly destroyed. It literally makes no fucking sense in any way

Follow the money. This bastard is 100% transactional.

That picture up there: I'm confused about why he bleaches his hands so they don't match his face. Or is it vitiligo (in which case I never mentioned it).

Expand full comment

He's terminally incapable of finishing any project.

Besides, if his hands were darker they'd look smaller.

"Not only that, she [Stefanik] has been one of the most vocal supporters of Israel’s war on Gaza and has repeatedly demanded that universities crack down on the free speech of student protestors."

I hope that all you Democrats who sat out the election over Gaza are happy.

Expand full comment

The one thing that could potentially save them is Stefanik says lots of things and has no beliefs; she's the biggest fake in the House after Nancy Mace. So maybe nothing will happen.

Maybe the Arab Americans who voted for Trump can go to Gaza to help with the fight.

The "Trump is the peace president!" crowd will tie themselves in interesting knots if the US is involved in an extended military campaign against Iran, which there's a chance will happen.

Trump is gonna end all the wars in the world on Day One™.

I’m so fortunate to have only family left who despise Trump. I don’t think I could stomach a blended holiday. Not this time. Telling people the free press is “the enemy of the people” because their coverage of you is unflattering is absolutely fascism. Telling your base that you won an election you clearly lost so they simply distrust our democracy more is absolutely fascism. Encouraging your most violent supporters to impose their will on Congress and your own VP is absolutely fascism. The list goes on.

The people who condone that are going to have to accept how it reflects on their character. Fascism and democracy don’t mix.

Well Murc's Law says you only punish the Democrats for things; and since they are the only ones with agency, that extends to foreign governments.
