I honestly never expected cracks in America’s support of Israel to happen so quickly. This is an almost half-century old beast being fought.

Or maybe I should be astounded it took this long?

Either way. I hope the administration feels the pressure and adjusts accordingly.

No, no, once things are North Korea level bad, the people will totally rise up. That’s what stops people from rising up - they aren’t oppressed enough. If we give enough power to the fascists, it’ll DEFINITELY work out this time! “After Hitler, us!”

And you’re willing to let the GOP rise to power because the dems are imperfect? Really?

Yeah. They’re fine with genocide here because America Bad and Deserves It.

“We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.”

Or what, they’ll not-fine him?

Nice goalpost shift.

I never had faith that he’d get jail time. I once had faith that, the amount and bond being announced, he would pay, simply because the inertia of the legal system is often quite massive.

Not as massive as the vast wave of conservative corruption in this country, it would seem.

The criminal trial isn’t even worth getting worked up over in comparison. If he’s not going to be forced to pay a fine, he sure as fuck isn’t going to jail.

“They’re laughing! My father is an incompetent criminal, and they’re laughing!”

Fucking vile.

Namecalling as a strategy and namecalling as a means of releasing pent-up frustration are two different things, I’d argue.

Hell, I’d even put namecalling as provocation as different from namecalling as a strategy for garnering support.

Namecalling appeals to morons who have trouble parsing anything more complex.

Morons are a non-negligible proportion of the US electorate.

It’s the same reason why fascist cretins like Trump and Putin humiliate their own supporters. As a display of power.

We need to cut off Israel from all aid. Obviously primarily because of the genocide, but secondarily because the main things they provide to the USA are domestic political interference, and damage to our international reputation.

Mexico cutting off its nose to spite its face.

Indeed they should. Which is why the resolution includes demanding the release of hostages held by Hamas and Israel.

Netanyahu has a plan.

Genocide.

That’s good. Infinitely growing populations aren’t sustainable, and I don’t know that there are any viable arguments for continued population growth.

It’s 60 billion for Ukraine in the unpassed aid package which includes the 14 billion for Israel.

Let’s fucking go. It’s been held up too long already.

Man, if your argument relies on comparing a country to despotism like Saudi Arabia to get a ‘favorable’ comparison, maybe both countries are dog shite.

US defense officials said they had managed to find the $300 million for Ukraine by making savings on recent purchases by the Pentagon, but stressed the need for Congress to pass more aid.

Unfortunately, until Congress unfucks itself, we have only scraps that we can legally send.
