    Outrageous! How the fuck are we supposed to murder, rob, subjugate, steal, and run our modern-day slave empires if the ICC can just go and arrest people all willy-nilly and shit?

    “Were there not an Israel, the United States would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”

    Joe Biden

    Israel is good for 2 things, as far as 60% of Congress is concerned: destabilizing Muslim countries to prevent a strong coalition from forming, and donating money to US politicians. What’s a little genocide in the face of that?

      That’s far too generous. At the very most, 10% of congress is on the right side of history when it comes to America’s favorite fascist apartheid regime.

      The public in general is closer to 65-35 the opposite direction.

        That may be true, but only 60% of congress is receiving Israeli bribes. Hence the number I chose.

          Again, overly generous. Almost all of them are either receiving bribes from them or running against someone who is in both primary and general elections. 60% is hella optimistic.

            It’s hyperbolic, actually. According to opensecrets.org, the actual number is only 52.5%. Of course, I’m sure that there’s some back-room deals that aren’t recorded publicly, and so the number is higher than that. 60% seems like a good, round, umbrella-like figure.

    I hate to say it but this is one of many reasons a good portion of the non voting left voted for Trump by not voting.

    He’s at the end of his career, doesn’t need the money to fight the zionists propaganda, so that means he actually believes this.

    OR like I suspected before, Israel houses A LOT of secret US intelligence and defense capabilities

      Israel has one base with a radar station that could easily be in Jordan. That’s it. The majority of US assets are in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain.

      In Israel it’s legal for companies to sell computer exploits to nation states and other actors like corporations. A lot of ex military from the u.s. work for these companies in Israel.

        Time to send them all letters to tell them they have to stop doing that or risk their security clearance. Working for war criminals without being on orders from the CIA is very frowned upon.

      Nope, they lost because they blindly support the billionaires over everyday people. Israel is a tiny symptom of the real problem, which is the concentration of wealth.

        They bailed out the teamsters pension fund and had to fight Republicans tooth and nail to do it — didnt even result in am endorsement and majority of teamsters still voted GOP.

        CHIP act made Arizona flush with manufacturing and construction jobs, still voted GOP.

        The reason Democrats lose is because they have to campaign against a made-up Republican that is normal and reasonable and Republicans get to campaign against the Oberlin faculty lounge instead of Democrats

          Crumbs will not be tolerated any longer. Universal Health, Universal Education, Universal Housing. What people want is clear. The message could not have been any louder. They have trouble feeding their family, and Biden is busy taking victory laps whining about why people can’t see what a good job he’s done. While rent and food are doubling for the large knot of Americans stuck in the 35-40k dollar income segment.

          They don’t want to hear excuses, and they don’t want crumbs. Politicians have the power to knock down any and all barriers to re-aligning the economy. Instead the democrats chose to play to the upper middle class, and donors. They went sharp right and only announced progressive policies when they were losing ground in the polls. People noticed that and knew those promises were as good as Biden’s. (toilet paper)

          Yet they never tackled the monopolies in the healthcare, food and housing industries responsible for the cost of living crisis, which cost them the election.

            Earlier they lost because they didn’t support workers, now they lost because they didn’t break up every food, healthcare, and housing company.

            I imagine if they did break those companies up and still lost you’d find another aspect of the party that isn’t to to your liking and pin the blame on that going on and on and on.

            If improving people’s material conditions worked, the Democrats would win every teamster or every person who relies on the ACA for their healthcare would vote Democrat and they don’t.

            The reality is that democrats lose because a huge chunk of voters spend 2 hours a day listening to the voice of a guy who sounds like their dad, telling them that Democrats only care about the gays or the blacks or the browns, and even if you think the republicans are weird religious freaks - at least their cruelty is good for the economy. They hear this idea repeated to them over and over and over and over again and when that happens the human mind starts to assume it’s the truth.

              No, they get 2 hours a day of that and then when they do get Democrat messaging it’s so out of touch as to be laughable. The idea that people are just too dumb to vote Democrat is insulting at best but self defeating in reality. The GOP knows how to get votes.

              No argument that the Democrats focused on unimportant rhetoric. And the lies were damaging, because they were positioned as defending the status quo.

              The best way to support workers is to prevent their exploitation

              Have a listen to AOCs interviews of her supporters who voted Trump, as well as the swing voters who stayed away. It goes a long way to explain why 20million dem voters stayed away.
