They shouldn't. All that will happen is those shit-hole states will complain that they didn't send more, no matter how many they send.

Honest question: What should they have done, given the makeup of the House and Senate?

Thanks. It's heartbreaking, because I love my city and I grew up here. I have a house. I have pets. I have roots. But the whole country is no longer save for my kids.

If I had no children, I'd stay and fight as best I can. But kids change the equation. I have to make sure they survive. And evidence strongly indicates that they're going to be targets of the new Nazis if we stay.

Doesn't matter now. He's rapidly destroying the regulatory infrastructure and sending his brown shirts out to sow fear and confusion. He is a fascist, the rest of the Republican party are his enablers, and things are going to get super mega shitty before they get better.

If they get better.

That would be fantastic. I've been thinking a lot about early 1930's Germany lately, and the Jewish people who saw the writing on the wall there. The people who survived the Holocaust were mostly the ones who got out before it started.

I have queer kids. I'm currently working on moving my family to Canada.

The stupid fucking idiots in the maga party will blame Biden.

Alternate headline: "Key Republican senators will once again pretend to be moderates when their votes are guaranteed to be meaningless"

If a third Republican senator actually steps forward to tank Hegseth's nomination, I'll eat my hat.

Doesn't matter. The fascist is in power now, with almost no guardrails (and he will be working very hard to destroy whatever ones remain).

Taking the first steps to leave Amazon entirely right now. I am never ordering anything from them again.

Fascism. The shit show in the US is called fascism. Help.

You inspired me. I added a few more entries.

Trump's plan for the next four years:

• Send Israel bigger bombs
• Fuck up the environment
• Fuck up the economy
• Fuck up education
• Fuck up privacy rights
• Fuck up LGBTQ+ rights
• Fuck up civil rights
• Fuck up the proper functioning of government
• Fuck up the military
• Fuck up healthcare
• Fuck up our alliances
• Crib everything else from Biden or Obama <- We are here

Another Trump supporter, eh?

Do you think Israel should be destroyed?

Edit: Interesting. No one is willing to say "no."

Here's the thing: What Joe Biden tried (and yes, failed, because Netanyahu is a corrupt madman) to do was simultaneously support Israel's right to exist and defend itself, and do what he could to minimize damage to Gaza.

Now we have a "president" who will gleefully help Netanyahu destroy Gaza entirely and take over the land. You've gone from someone whose friendship to Palestine was tepid to someone who actively wants it destroyed.

This isn't an upgrade.

That's not an answer, and I'm not "carrying water for genocide financiers." I never once excused or denied Israel's behavior. Netanyahu responded to a horrendous terrorist attack by turning the dials on "horrendous" and "terror" up to 11. He's a monster and a war criminal and should spend the rest of his life in prison.

Now then, how would you do it? Put yourself in the president's shoes. You need to come up with a solution that allows Israel to continue to exist and not be destroyed by, say, Iran... AND allows the Palestinians to survive. Cut off all weapons, goodbye Israel. Give Israel a blank check, goodbye Palestine. What do you try to do?

Lying about Biden trying "nothing" doesn't make it OK that you carried water for Trump.

No it fucking isn't, what with Israel set to receive 2,000 pound bombs that can level a city block.

It's a much, much more complicated situation than you're presenting. Biden was trying to thread the needle between "deny Israel weaponry" (end result: Opportunistic invasion by Israel's neighbors) and "give Netanyahu all the weapons he wants" (end result: what we're about to see with these gigantic, city-block-destroying bombs).

How would you do it?

This article is literally about one of Biden's efforts to rein in the violence. He did try. Now go ahead and excuse Trump freeing up 2,000-pound bombs for Israel, and how that's better for Palestine than it would be if Harris had won. Good luck.

I can't find the will to make a leopards/faces joke about this. This is exactly what we told people who wouldn't vote for Harris because of "gEnOcIdE jOe" bullshit.

Biden made real efforts to prevent the Israeli government from committing genocide. They failed, but they tried. Now we've got an absolute monster in charge who is going to outright empower the genocide.

If you voted for Trump, voted for a third party, or refused to vote... FUCK YOU. You own this.
