"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."

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.

This was one of the guys who spent every day agitating against Harris. Kudos, bro!

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks ago

Great job proving their point.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Like so. Hostility for being against genocide.

Wait another month and wave some signs ?

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks 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.

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

[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

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.

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

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

not like the alternative wasn't in his pocket

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 4 points 2 weeks ago

60 years of foreign policy

[–] notgivingmynametoamachine@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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

General Strike, now!

He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Disgusting revisionism. Trying to pretend this started with Trump when the Democrats were giving full support to over a year of full scale genocide.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

Americans when Democrats do the thing:

Americans when Republicans do the thing:

More seriously what Americans should have done to get a president not in the pocket of mass murderer Netanyahu was get the Democrats to actually represent their constituents, but lesser evil politics prevailed and now we're here. If you want a president not in the pocket of mass murderer Netanyahu now you'll have to overthrow Trump and install one yourself.

Well we don’t do shit about any other nonsense. So, nothing?

[–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Fascists usually leave power when they die.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

I thought Slenderman “fixed” all this a few years ago. You mean to tell me Kushner was (is) full of shit?
