"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."

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

Voting him in is the behaviour of a crazy nation so I'm guessing most americans want this.

Pretty much the other way around.

Always has been

The answer to the problem is certainly not the Democrats, who wholesale supported this genocide for over a year.

Both genocidal parties, and the genocidal capitalist system, must be torn down.

Fascists usually leave power when they die.

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.

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

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.

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

Wait another month and wave some signs ?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Witty signs no less. To show that despite the apparent severity of the state of the world, they do have a sense of humour.

They might as well ban all guns now. I was willing to go along with this weekly(?) school shooting schedule as long as that meant they would actually use the guns when the time came. But now that the time has come, all those kids seem to have died for nothing.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days 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.

General Strike, now!
