The eternal victimizers, always calling themselves the eternal victims. It has worked for many decades, but it's not working any longer. Too many people have finally figured out their eternal scams.
Yeah, but who is going to do anything about it? The Israelis are still killing Gazans daily - you remember Gaza? I believe there are still people there.
Remember about four months ago all humanitarian organizations and Doctors Without Borders were banned from entering Gaza? No witnesses or journalists to report (or very few) the ongoing murder. I read two days ago Israel was now in control of 70% of Gaza and they’re not giving it back. The assault on the lawful owners in the West Bank continues apace and is barely reported. The war with Iran and the chokehold AIPAC has on MSM has effectively drowned out most news of the Zionist expansion in Gaza and the West Bank.
Yes! jamenta, Gaza is all but forgotten by the compliant media and ruling classes of the US/West. People are still being slaughtered there; they are still being starved; living in unimaginable horror in makeshift tents, facing all kinds of adversity and sickness that go untreated; children are still dying of malnutrition.
What is the UN doing in the face of such barbarity.
agreed the UNs "response" has been utterly shameful and pathetic. Isn't the whole point of the UN to prevent such genocidal carnage and bloodshed from occurring and getting to such horrific level?
My only hope is that, because the Orange Monster was so very bad and so very hated that we can expect a Dem victory as never before - what they call a landslide. Problem is that we may have to suffer another two years until then.What further leads me to this conclusion is that suddenly, after years, Obama is prime in the news again, and almost worshipped like a saint, which he is in comparison with the current "leader"
We wouldn't have Trump if it weren't for the corruption and lies of the Democrats. Trump is a symptom of a deeper disease, and the disease is what will kill us. The lesser of two evils is still evil.
Both parties supported the genocide of the Gazans. That should be a moral redline for any decent human being.
well said jamenta, red or blue, both two sides of the same bloodstained imperialist coin. The blue party were the ones to enable the genocide in the first place, continued by their red successor
Sorry, jamenta,but jamenta is telling mentiras. The Dems did not vote for the fascist drumpf monster, it was mostly the Repugs who, as always vote for Repugs, and Trump is a Repug. Why didn't The Repugs go into Gaza and go in and save the Gazans.
It isn't the Dems who put the orange monstrosity into power. If the Repugs hadn't voted for the orange disaster in huge numbers, Americans wouldn't be in the hell. hole in which we are now.
I hate to disagree with you, but the Dems and the Repugs are not exactly one and the same. Under Trump the Repugs have power while every Dem is totally disregarded and denied, but they are not the same. If the Dems really supported the genocide of Gazans that would mean that either they messed with election results (I would not put it past them), or they misrepresented the issue dishonestly, meaning they accused the innocents in Gaza as monsters and criminals, also possible. Dems tend to be working people who don't have the time to read a lot and get better informed.
You're seeing all the corporate Dems starting to come out of the woodwork now - from Obama to Hilly herself. With the same talking points. It's almost all exclusively Anti-Trump - and the argument is there is "no comparison" between them and Trump i.e. the same old, lesser of two evils argument.
Admittedly, Trump is the worst POTUS possibly in the history of the United States - the most corrupt, the most warmongering bastard - gross demagogue to ever sit in the White House. But this country would never have gotten Trump if it weren't for the willful determination of the Democrat party to only serve its corporate masters, AIPAC and the runaway MIC, and throw breadcrumbs to its constituents - many of whom continue to blindly follow the party and refuse to admit how corrupt the party has become - which clearly led to Trump in the first place.
I vowed never to participate in the charade called voting again, but will gladly spend my time casting a ballot for any candidate that openly denounces the israel lobby.
Sorry to disagree, but they didn't have to "rig" anything for Trump to be the "bad guy". Trump is one of the most evil guys on the planet and the world seems to agree with that. His only excuse is that he is an arch narcissist, and this degree of narcissism is classified as a mental illness.
You also must keep in mind that besides the libs and cons, there are so-called neolibs and neocons, and it is usually said that they have actually the opposite of libs and cons.
Re: " all the corporate Dems starting to come out of the woodwork now - from Obama to Hilly herself.' I assume you refer to Hillary when you say Hilly. You are very mistaken when you put Obama and Hillary on the same level. Hillary was/is a monster in her own right, but I have nothing but admiration for Obama, his intelligence, his honesty, and his good heart.
Obama carried out over 500 drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia, murdering hundreds of innocent civilians. Such an intelligent, honest, caring, and responsible fellow. What a hero.
John Kennedy got the US into Vietnam under the pretext of sending “advisors “ which quickly escalated into full incursion. No American president has ever passed up the opportunity to screw up another country.
Yes, but he also pulled the plug on the BAY of PIGS, resolved the Cuban Missile Crisis, and wasn't going about screwing poor people while sucking off the rich like Trump, Bush, Biden, Clinton, Obama and the rest of the Epstein class POTUS's.
The Democratic Party is pathetic, the reason we have tRUMP. Get over your notion to see them as saviors or good guys. Stop drinking the Blue kool-aid. I've never voted for an R but have seen enough of the dismal D's.
The US Congress continues to support Trump and the illegal actions of the armed forces, ICE, DHS, etc. Congress is the official big problem. The Dark Money that supports and directs Congress is an even bigger problem.
I saw this movie before: it was the last two years of George W Bush. Democrats promised us the moon and the stars and they won. Big blue wave. Nancy Pelosi, then the leader, did NOTHING to hold Bush and Cheney accountable. They kept going along with the Bush Administration. And then in 2024, the Democrats made Bush and Cheney heroes because they said "orange man bad" once.
I was stupid and naive not to see it back in 2006. It's a much different story 20 years later.
Every Democratic administration in this window caused or materially enabled mass civilian death outside U.S. borders. The mechanism shifts — direct military, proxy, sanctions, arms sales, covert ops — but the imperial continuity is unbroken across party lines.
Humans have finally figured it out. Congress and the executive branch, state departments, pentagon and so on have known about it for probably over 100 years. Because the majority of humans were propagandized most of those years, that makes us the victims because not only did the politicians know all those decades ago, they evilly perpetrated g€n0cide with knowledge and consent while stealing from Americans while they and their masters became millionaires and billionaires. The politicians and middle class the politicians purport need saving are the guards for the billionaire/€pst€in pdfile/bankers and financiers. Is that maybe treason all the way back to Johnson? Further back? Additionally they have allowed a t€rr0r regime to infiltrate everything in America. Is that not treason? They created and paid and pay with our state and federal tax $$$ for the current t€rr0r regimes around the world as well as the ones in the streets of America.
"Meanwhile instead of attacking Trump for failing to do enough to make peace, Democrats are calling him a weak little bitch for not continuing the war, and for agreeing to ensure $300 billion in reconstruction financing instead."
Ain't it funny how democrats and liberals now suddenly care about ending homelessness, etc.?
2018 was most instructive. In the runup to the midterms, Team D backed off on the Russiagate conspiracy theories, knowing that wasn't what voters, especially swing voters, cared about.
Once elected, the Team dropped all the bread and butter issues voters actually wanted like they were a hot turd and went right back to peddling wild-eyed conspiracy theories so "out there" that would have gotten them laughed out of the 1962-era John Bitch Society.
Remember Rachel Maddow? I bet Dale has a shrine to her.
Oh yeah I watched it all in disgust. And now they're chanting over and over again how bad Trump is. That he's the worst and we just need to get rid of him to move forward.
And it will work. They will win the midterms and coming elections. But don't expect the ground to shift in some tsunami of goodness from this corrupt party. Anyone that believes a new sunrise will come once the Democrats are back in power is the biggest fucking sucker imaginable.
I don't think it will. They may get Graham Planter and one other person but that's about it. Enough people have saw this playbook over and over and over again. Voters are going to stay home again, and I think I might stay home this November too.
The economy is going tank even further - even if they manage to keep the Hormuz strait open from here on out. They can't just flip back on oil production and other goods like a light switch, it will take months to get back to near normal.
And Trump/Republicans have done jack fuck for the US economy. Majority of Americans are pissed as hell.
Every single time a Republican is elected, the economy always goes to Hell. No exception. That should be enough motivation to NEVER for Republicans again.
While it’s really hard to pick the hypocritical Democrat, my vote is split between Amy (“my trust fund was a Mason jar my Granpa put money in”) Klobachar and holier-than-thou Adam Schiff. Obama was smarter, better looking and articulate but just as venal.
Trump’s latest rhetorical turn came after he realized he had a good shot at his legacy becoming Herbert Hoover 2.0. But then, Bibi has the Epstein Files. Ultimately, Trump does nothing that will threaten his bank account; unless his narcissistic mercurial ego holds sway. Flip the coin! It’s Friday, and the Markets! The Markets!
U$/izrahell have already started a military base in or around Gaza. They plan on moving there and finishing the job they started. Iran is playing with fire letting these demons time and time again prove they are evil demons and continue their t€rr0r. People keep saying you have to meet force with force. I’m tending to agree. If you have it, flaunt it. You might actually get 100 years of peace in west Asia.
Zionists have learned very well how to whine and claim injustice whenever they are made to feel "uncomfortable". Like when they have to walk by people opposing genocide to get where they are going. They murder thousands and then snivel when 4 of their people who were trying to murder others get killed. Sick sick sick.
They view it as a “right” to create “a safe zone” by murdering thousands, destroying entire villages and striking healthcare workers and emergency response teams after they’ve created this destruction.
They could have easily had a safe zones by simply being a good neighbour, not rabid, hate-filled murdering, torturing, rapist liars. You don't get people to be happy to see you when you are bent on killing every one of them, using every evil method possible. And, you do not get to whine when they occasionally manage to kill one of yours while he was intent on killing them.
Well and also the safe zone of crowding us off our sidewalks if we want to criticize US policy near a house being used (according to what is reported the IRS) as a synagogue.
Alarm bells should go off for everyone when Democrats say that $300 billion could do all these great things for American citizens. Hello. There has to be political will to do that, and neither the Democrats or Republicans have it.
Both American and Israeli governments are self-serving, deceptive and war mongering, and their comments are sickening.
Losing a war when invading a country for no good reason, complaining about soldiers being killed when they're invading another country. These things should be over the top for anyone with a grain of common sense.
The real reason behind all this is that in the end, the US and Israel don't actually want peace, Israel least of all. They want war, they want to be able to steal all the resources they can, crush any resistance and kill people and designate whoever objects a terrorist so that way they don't legally have to negotiate with them. Don't underestimate the power of the terrorism designation because once you designate a group or country or people terrorists, it automatically triggers certain legal processes that allow the kinds of actions we have seen including sanctions, not even negotiating with them, no due process.
This is how they justify such a large number of civilians casualties, by arguing that they are fighting a war on terror so anything goes. "people die in war" is the refrain now. 'we are very sorry but we have a bigger goal here, which is to prevent the terrorist regime of Iran to have nukes." AIPAC plays a big role getting US officials and institutions to designate whoever they don't like a terrorist because they know how powerful such a designation is and the things it allows to take place and justify.
So now here we are, where thanks to all this we now have a second genocide taking place in Lebanon. Under the guise of fighting terrorists, Israel is once again committing unimaginable atrocities - massacring civilians, pulverizing tens of thousands of homes, dropping chemical weapons and no one can say anything cause then they will be designated a terrorist sympathizer.
Plus, this is not really a peace deal anyway, it is an agreement to negotiate one with requirements at each step and you can bet that both Israel and the US will violate those and act in bad faith and then blame Iran for why it failed. Why? Because again, neither really wants peace.
I’ve been wondering recently why no country goes to the UN and designates izrahell, u$ and European governments as t€rr0rrist regimes. Sounds like it’s easy peasy to do so. Izrahell, u$ and Europe do it all the time and They’ve all proven they are untrustworthy t€rr0ists for 100s of years.
It's rather odd to cry about Hezbola this, Hezbola that when, in fact, Hezbola was formed when Israel first invaded Lebanon decades ago.
To put it simply, Hezbola was created to defend their country, Lebanon from Israelis initial aggression. There wouldn't be Hezbola if Israel didn't first invade!
So please. Cry your hearts out, whatever hearts are left in that god awful, blood thirsty, land thieving pos yall call the "only democratic country in the Mideast" that happens to be on stolen land owned by Palestinians.
As Jesus said in John 8:44 "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (NIV)
Any wonder why old time lefties and liberals think the current iteration of the Democratic Party is a huge, steaming pile of horse crap? No mention of what we could do with the money if we downsize the actual war machine that destroyed Iranian infrastructure in an illegal war that most of them did nothing substantive to stop. Dems make me sick to my stomach.
"I still remember when [Kamala Harris] was asked on TV if there was anything she’d have done different than Biden. She said no. And it was at that moment I knew that Trump was going to win: she needed to say something, even something a bit weak “well, I admire what the President has done, but I’d like to have done even more to bring down grocery prices and to end the Gaza war” say."
My only disagreement is that I think the Democrats lies are sleazier than MAGA wanting Trump to get the peace prize for ending a war he started. The Democrats have always lied, they've always been war-mongers and liars. Republicans and their MAGA branch are liars as well but, mostly they are so crazy it's hard to hold them accountable. In the end, it's semantics. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are fascist, always have been, always will be.
“I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.”
Israelis are not capable of abiding by any treaty or agreement, especially one that's in their own interest. They are ideologically poisoned by the arrogance of racism and divine right. They cannot be stopped from digging their own graves. They really are too barbaric and brainwashed to help themselves. Like a rich, spoiled and very insecure teenager who is desperate to project strength and avoid humiliation, there is no turning back for them.
""war propagandist Mark Levin taking to Twitter to say that “Israel will hit back very hard” and that “No MOU or final agreement will change who these terrorists are,” while Israel’s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir proclaims “For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!”".
Yes we know who the real terrorists are. Here is hoping Iran can completely obliterate Israel before Trump can send them more US taxpayer dollars and Soldiers Sailors, Airmen, Remember USS LIBERTY. Zionist Israel claiming victimhood while murdering children since 1948.
We really are in deep sh_t. It would be a good thing if the Repugs lost both houses in the midterms and that led to the impeachment of Trump and others, the stoppage of all aid to Israel, and a few other things. But then, how much can the nation really trust the Democrats? If they'd continue what they did under Biden, then god help us.
The only best thing here would be if the country heavily voted for third party progressive candidates. But of course, the country is too stupid for that.
Every Democratic administration in this window caused or materially enabled mass civilian death outside U.S. borders. The mechanism shifts — direct military, proxy, sanctions, arms sales, covert ops — but the imperial continuity is unbroken across party lines.
Nod, thanks for the list. Yes, the presidents of both parties, beyond any doubts, are war criminals, each many times over. Few Americans even realize it, including many of the commenters here.
I don't see a way out, other than perhaps after the US bites the dust as a superpower and China takes over with a more humanistic record. But no one can predict the future.
Have a look at our future. It doesn’t require prediction, they have already mapped it out and told us all about it. This is a dialectically, logically, and factually built document. This is what’s coming. As they distract us with theater.
The image asked: Is this the world we want for our children?
The evidentiary record answers the prior question first: Is this the world being built?
On the evidence examined: yes, beyond reasonable doubt.
dems will be going for the narrow win at best, so they can walk back all the wordsy words that got them the win. anyways, even the best case scenario (massive 3rd party win) would not fix the us. the uniparty is embedded so deep in all state structures and branches a revolutionary purge and/or civil war seems inevitable to get things on the right track. the people let their society become profoundly sick while being mesmerized by the bling-bling of their even sicker rulers.
Peace be upon you by Gaza and Jerusalem - Honour and victory are the allies of the axis of resistance and its allies, and humiliation and shame are for the axis of evil, Epstein Class (USA, Britain, France, Turkey, Qatar, UAE, NATO Governments, New Nazi, Masonic, Zionist and Israel) and its allies.
Terrorism is "the weapon of the weak" because, while it is less than 1% of all the violence, it carries a higher fear coefficient. IN reality, the most brutal terrorists, the nation states that killed over 200 million in the 20th Century, call those without an army and who can only strike back with random violence (i.e., unarmed civilians) terrorists, but here is the reality:
In the 20th Century, nation states killed over 200 million, while terrorists killed between 10,000 and 100,000. Yet those who did less than 1% of the killing are the terrorists, while those who did the most killing claim to be fighting a war on terrorism. Such terms are used to "control the narrative" and make those doing over 99% of the slaughter protecting us from those doing less than 1%.
So the weaker side’s violence is named “terror,” while the stronger side’s far larger violence is renamed “security,” “defense,” “counterterrorism,” “restoring order,” or “collateral damage.”
“It’s only terrorism if they do it to us. When we do much worse to them, it’s not terrorism.” Noam Chomsky
“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable…” George Orwell
"I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government." Martin Luther King

Hate is an emotion most of us have to deal with in life, so I understand. So is - ironically, ignorance.
The Democrats fully supported the Gaza genocide under Biden. There really is no space between the ruling factions. It’s a uniparty.
You're seeing all the corporate Dems starting to come out of the woodwork now - from Obama to Hilly herself. With the same talking points. It's almost all exclusively Anti-Trump - and the argument is there is "no comparison" between them and Trump i.e. the same old, lesser of two evils argument.

They rigged it for Trump to be the “bad guy” in doing the things they could only dream about and now can pretend they oppose it.

Team D's fascism comes with a smile and rainbow cake so it's better lol
Fauxblack woman fascist. That's the ticket.
I don't think it will. They may get Graham Planter and one other person but that's about it. Enough people have saw this playbook over and over and over again. Voters are going to stay home again, and I think I might stay home this November too.
The economy is going tank even further - even if they manage to keep the Hormuz strait open from here on out. They can't just flip back on oil production and other goods like a light switch, it will take months to get back to near normal.
And Trump/Republicans have done jack fuck for the US economy. Majority of Americans are pissed as hell.
Every single time a Republican is elected, the economy always goes to Hell. No exception. That should be enough motivation to NEVER for Republicans again.
And note that ‘healthcare for all’ is never mentioned as something Trump ´could be doing’.
While it’s really hard to pick the hypocritical Democrat, my vote is split between Amy (“my trust fund was a Mason jar my Granpa put money in”) Klobachar and holier-than-thou Adam Schiff. Obama was smarter, better looking and articulate but just as venal.
Someone put it nicely: Obama's style, class and grace sure made the corporate imperialism go down smooth.
That's right, the fist shoved down our throats is sure better with a smile and some rainbow cake.
Properly spelled, Obummer.
Or Obomber.
This money I believe is from sanctions on Iran.
Yes, in other words, the proceeds of piracy.
Not that it matters to democrats or to liberals.
Yes.
To be fair, Trump could cure cancer (not likely) and Team D would bitch that it doesn't work, he stole the cure and he's putting doctors out of work.
Muted for defending filth
Pointing out the manifest hypocrisy of Team D is bot defending Trump.
there's even some dems (dsa) pretending to adhere to marxist thought. they're so far gone...
The word "sheepdog" comes prominently to mind.

The only thing that will force the U.S. to put down the rabid Israeli attack dog is economic catastrophe, which a continued closure of Hormuz ensures.
Jim, you can be sure the US is headed for economic catastrophe. There's no way to avoid it.
The only question now is how high the cliff is that we fall off of.
Trump’s latest rhetorical turn came after he realized he had a good shot at his legacy becoming Herbert Hoover 2.0. But then, Bibi has the Epstein Files. Ultimately, Trump does nothing that will threaten his bank account; unless his narcissistic mercurial ego holds sway. Flip the coin! It’s Friday, and the Markets! The Markets!
U$/izrahell have already started a military base in or around Gaza. They plan on moving there and finishing the job they started. Iran is playing with fire letting these demons time and time again prove they are evil demons and continue their t€rr0r. People keep saying you have to meet force with force. I’m tending to agree. If you have it, flaunt it. You might actually get 100 years of peace in west Asia.
Zionists have learned very well how to whine and claim injustice whenever they are made to feel "uncomfortable". Like when they have to walk by people opposing genocide to get where they are going. They murder thousands and then snivel when 4 of their people who were trying to murder others get killed. Sick sick sick.
They view it as a “right” to create “a safe zone” by murdering thousands, destroying entire villages and striking healthcare workers and emergency response teams after they’ve created this destruction.
They view it as a "right" because they view themselves as "supreme". Like the Nazis did. Maybe they are really a re-incarnation.
Make Palestine Again.
Some Zionist ideologist put it thusly - he supported nazi goals and nazi methods. His only objection was to their choice of enemies.
They could have easily had a safe zones by simply being a good neighbour, not rabid, hate-filled murdering, torturing, rapist liars. You don't get people to be happy to see you when you are bent on killing every one of them, using every evil method possible. And, you do not get to whine when they occasionally manage to kill one of yours while he was intent on killing them.
Well and also the safe zone of crowding us off our sidewalks if we want to criticize US policy near a house being used (according to what is reported the IRS) as a synagogue.
Alarm bells should go off for everyone when Democrats say that $300 billion could do all these great things for American citizens. Hello. There has to be political will to do that, and neither the Democrats or Republicans have it.
Both American and Israeli governments are self-serving, deceptive and war mongering, and their comments are sickening.
Losing a war when invading a country for no good reason, complaining about soldiers being killed when they're invading another country. These things should be over the top for anyone with a grain of common sense.
they're out of reach and there's no way to reason with them anymore.
💯%
The real reason behind all this is that in the end, the US and Israel don't actually want peace, Israel least of all. They want war, they want to be able to steal all the resources they can, crush any resistance and kill people and designate whoever objects a terrorist so that way they don't legally have to negotiate with them. Don't underestimate the power of the terrorism designation because once you designate a group or country or people terrorists, it automatically triggers certain legal processes that allow the kinds of actions we have seen including sanctions, not even negotiating with them, no due process.
This is how they justify such a large number of civilians casualties, by arguing that they are fighting a war on terror so anything goes. "people die in war" is the refrain now. 'we are very sorry but we have a bigger goal here, which is to prevent the terrorist regime of Iran to have nukes." AIPAC plays a big role getting US officials and institutions to designate whoever they don't like a terrorist because they know how powerful such a designation is and the things it allows to take place and justify.
So now here we are, where thanks to all this we now have a second genocide taking place in Lebanon. Under the guise of fighting terrorists, Israel is once again committing unimaginable atrocities - massacring civilians, pulverizing tens of thousands of homes, dropping chemical weapons and no one can say anything cause then they will be designated a terrorist sympathizer.
Plus, this is not really a peace deal anyway, it is an agreement to negotiate one with requirements at each step and you can bet that both Israel and the US will violate those and act in bad faith and then blame Iran for why it failed. Why? Because again, neither really wants peace.
I’ve been wondering recently why no country goes to the UN and designates izrahell, u$ and European governments as t€rr0rrist regimes. Sounds like it’s easy peasy to do so. Izrahell, u$ and Europe do it all the time and They’ve all proven they are untrustworthy t€rr0ists for 100s of years.
They have no power. Plus US would veto.
It's rather odd to cry about Hezbola this, Hezbola that when, in fact, Hezbola was formed when Israel first invaded Lebanon decades ago.
To put it simply, Hezbola was created to defend their country, Lebanon from Israelis initial aggression. There wouldn't be Hezbola if Israel didn't first invade!
So please. Cry your hearts out, whatever hearts are left in that god awful, blood thirsty, land thieving pos yall call the "only democratic country in the Mideast" that happens to be on stolen land owned by Palestinians.
Oh no, you simply cannot say that about the sky monkey's special people!
Cancel Israel.
Not the sky monkey, the underworld lord is their patron, and just like him they are creating hell on earth.
As Jesus said in John 8:44 "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (NIV)
Any wonder why old time lefties and liberals think the current iteration of the Democratic Party is a huge, steaming pile of horse crap? No mention of what we could do with the money if we downsize the actual war machine that destroyed Iranian infrastructure in an illegal war that most of them did nothing substantive to stop. Dems make me sick to my stomach.
Schumer, who prides himself for doing more for Israel than any other politician, sits on top of that pile.
The funniest sad joke these days is the Republicans calling the Democrats "the left" when the Democrats hate the left even more than the Republicans.

"I still remember when [Kamala Harris] was asked on TV if there was anything she’d have done different than Biden. She said no. And it was at that moment I knew that Trump was going to win: she needed to say something, even something a bit weak “well, I admire what the President has done, but I’d like to have done even more to bring down grocery prices and to end the Gaza war” say."
The entire article is most edifying.
My only disagreement is that I think the Democrats lies are sleazier than MAGA wanting Trump to get the peace prize for ending a war he started. The Democrats have always lied, they've always been war-mongers and liars. Republicans and their MAGA branch are liars as well but, mostly they are so crazy it's hard to hold them accountable. In the end, it's semantics. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are fascist, always have been, always will be.
Team D simply offers more glib and utterly self-serving human rights talk.
Team R channels the MyPillow guy or that dude with the buffalo horns, and it is harder to take such buffoons seriously.
Yeah but team d has smiles and rainbow cake, surely it must be better.
Pronouns, humans. PRONOUNS!
“I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.”
Nothing to add here.
Israelis are not capable of abiding by any treaty or agreement, especially one that's in their own interest. They are ideologically poisoned by the arrogance of racism and divine right. They cannot be stopped from digging their own graves. They really are too barbaric and brainwashed to help themselves. Like a rich, spoiled and very insecure teenager who is desperate to project strength and avoid humiliation, there is no turning back for them.
They are past the expiration date. One State Palestine.
Iran will shell the hell out of Israel with their ballistic missiles. The U.S. has no stock now.
"Democrats are such obnoxious liars."
And they are paid well for their lies. The District of Columbia (Washington D.C.) has the highest median household income in the entire US.
Don't forget Northern Virginia.....Loudon & Fairfax County where these scumbags live.
""war propagandist Mark Levin taking to Twitter to say that “Israel will hit back very hard” and that “No MOU or final agreement will change who these terrorists are,” while Israel’s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir proclaims “For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!”".
Yes we know who the real terrorists are. Here is hoping Iran can completely obliterate Israel before Trump can send them more US taxpayer dollars and Soldiers Sailors, Airmen, Remember USS LIBERTY. Zionist Israel claiming victimhood while murdering children since 1948.
We really are in deep sh_t. It would be a good thing if the Repugs lost both houses in the midterms and that led to the impeachment of Trump and others, the stoppage of all aid to Israel, and a few other things. But then, how much can the nation really trust the Democrats? If they'd continue what they did under Biden, then god help us.
The only best thing here would be if the country heavily voted for third party progressive candidates. But of course, the country is too stupid for that.
only a fool trusts a politician

Nod, thanks for the list. Yes, the presidents of both parties, beyond any doubts, are war criminals, each many times over. Few Americans even realize it, including many of the commenters here.
I don't see a way out, other than perhaps after the US bites the dust as a superpower and China takes over with a more humanistic record. But no one can predict the future.
Have a look at our future. It doesn’t require prediction, they have already mapped it out and told us all about it. This is a dialectically, logically, and factually built document. This is what’s coming. As they distract us with theater.
The image asked: Is this the world we want for our children?
The evidentiary record answers the prior question first: Is this the world being built?
On the evidence examined: yes, beyond reasonable doubt.
https://noddranoel.substack.com/p/globalism-reflected-upon?r=12tyeg
Yes, certainly beyond a reasonable doubt. But even the slightest odds gives me hope. And I agree we must act according to the odds.
dems will be going for the narrow win at best, so they can walk back all the wordsy words that got them the win. anyways, even the best case scenario (massive 3rd party win) would not fix the us. the uniparty is embedded so deep in all state structures and branches a revolutionary purge and/or civil war seems inevitable to get things on the right track. the people let their society become profoundly sick while being mesmerized by the bling-bling of their even sicker rulers.
Peace be upon you by Gaza and Jerusalem - Honour and victory are the allies of the axis of resistance and its allies, and humiliation and shame are for the axis of evil, Epstein Class (USA, Britain, France, Turkey, Qatar, UAE, NATO Governments, New Nazi, Masonic, Zionist and Israel) and its allies.
Cancel the Zionist Entity for peace.
Terrorism is "the weapon of the weak" because, while it is less than 1% of all the violence, it carries a higher fear coefficient. IN reality, the most brutal terrorists, the nation states that killed over 200 million in the 20th Century, call those without an army and who can only strike back with random violence (i.e., unarmed civilians) terrorists, but here is the reality:
In the 20th Century, nation states killed over 200 million, while terrorists killed between 10,000 and 100,000. Yet those who did less than 1% of the killing are the terrorists, while those who did the most killing claim to be fighting a war on terrorism. Such terms are used to "control the narrative" and make those doing over 99% of the slaughter protecting us from those doing less than 1%.
So the weaker side’s violence is named “terror,” while the stronger side’s far larger violence is renamed “security,” “defense,” “counterterrorism,” “restoring order,” or “collateral damage.”
“It’s only terrorism if they do it to us. When we do much worse to them, it’s not terrorism.” Noam Chomsky
