politics

Remember that time President Biden illegally forced a weapons shipment through to Israel, and then Bibi made a public statement calling Biden a little removed literally the day after?

Funniest shit I saw that entire month lmao

26th article of the week about how Biden is super duper mad this time guys, he's totally gonna think about doing something.

Ofc they buckle under pressure, they send tanks ahead of infantry and airstrike civilians who can't fight back. Their entire modus operandi is "pls don't hurt me I am a smol bean" but also "mega badass who can do anything" but also "don't criticize us we're the most moral army" but also "eat shit and die, we're going to build a hotel on the beach over your childrens' corpses" but also "campus protestors on the other side of the planet are doing psychic damage to our troops >:" but also "our troops are so competent they reach the rank of 5 star general by the age of 28 and also invented the cherry tomato"

I believe the kids call it "being tsundere"

It's kind of remarkable we're this far past Harris and Biden crashing out and I STILL keep finding new reasons to hate them more

Motherfuckers could've made ONE PHONE CALL, but they wanted all of it

threatening to invade every country within a thousand miles of a US military base

genuine question, are there any countries that are not within 1000 miles of a US military base?

Gotta stockpile those missiles and that ammo for the invasion of Greenland.

I respect sincerely-held religious beliefs, but find it hard to accept anyone with such an obvious thirst for power and blood has any of those.

Bibi's adherence to the Sabbath is about as spiritually sincere as my adherence to Sunday being the day of rest which is conveniently legally mandated as a day off.

It would be even funnier if he negotiated a deal with the DPRK and brought the official end to the war while reuniting the peninsula.

he's gonna start posting on xiaohongshu and accidentally make peace with china too because he finds that guy from chongqing that does a trump impression

I'll be giggling and poking my libs "he's a felon! He should be in jail!" when Trump is accepting his peace prize

Wait until he makes a deal with China.

I have a hunch it’s going to happen, based on vibes and vibes alone (i.e. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, UBS all just released signals that China’s A-shares are going to rally after Trump takes office. Wall Street have gone bullish on China even though they just slashed its rating two months ago).

We’re probably 1-2 years out from another Trump-Xi meeting.

They already are https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/15/statement-from-president-joe-biden-14/

You nailed it and the worst part is that this fits their meta narrative perfectly so they get to keep acting like smug elitist assholes looking down their noses at all of us for "not understanding how much time and hard work it takes to govern" or whatever parliamentarian bullshit they're on this week

Had some lib boomer clown like this a few months ago IRL ask me incredulously if I know how a law is made, I honestly wanted to punch him and if I hear any shit like this I may not be able to control myself

First observation: this is unironically the most wildly antisemitic anecdote of the last few presidents AFAIK

I'm a Jew (at least I was raised jewish, had a bneimitzvah, yadyada, who the fuck knows about my spirituality/lackthereof now) and it's not immediately clear to me why it's antisemitic to force a head of state break sabbath. It's been more than a decade since I read a translation, but does the Torah not explicitly permit breaking the sabbath in times of emergency or is that a talmudic or more modern opinion?

Am I missing a blind spot (in my own perspective) here?

while I regain the moral high ground regarding Palestine, you can have some anti-semitism as a treat

100% true, like how you can eat non kosher/halal if you are starving and there are no there options available

A lot of people don't know the actual tenets of the religions they claim, just the (often not entirely correct parts) they gain through cultural osmosis, not that there's anything wrong with non-orthodoxy it's just you should probably read the book if your going to claim something as part of you identity
