Well Biden was just as complicit and they love him. Most libs supported the Iraq war anyway. Among the few libs who didn’t, they mostly opposed the Iraq war because GW Bush was in charge of it. When the Dems took over the House in 2006 and were expected to win in 2008 as well, the remaining liberals mostly dropped the pretense of not supporting the war and were just mad that Bush “screwed it up”. And Biden is also one of the main guys who screwed it up (when he was VP), he literally helped create ISIS by getting Chalabi appointed as president of Iraq even after he lost the election - but the US was the occupying power so Biden was able to do whatever he wanted.

This is much worse than people like MTG making stupid statements about “Jewish space lasers”. Pelosi later on says the FBI should be investigating the pro-Palestine protesters.

[edit] “A Pelosi spokesperson tells @rollingstone: “Speaker Pelosi is acutely aware of how foreign adversaries meddle in American politics to sow division and impact our elections, and she wants to see further investigation ahead of the 2024 election.”

Biden gave some vague “you have 24 hours” threat to Texas, then 24 hours later he was somewhere in the Midwest and said nothing, the Biden admin released some “we are all good friends and are working together” statement. He is getting clowned by the biggest assholes on the planet.

I mean, if Bernie won in 2016 or 20, he would be a better president than Biden or even better than he is as a Senator right now, because he would owe his position (and reelection chances) to the left donor/activist base. And a bunch of liberals would probably support a 3rd party candidate against him, so even as an incumbent he would probably have big problems with getting reelected. Right now, he is a Senator, if he wants to run again in Vermont he can easily do that and he doesn’t need the left base anymore, since he is not running for president ever again.

So instead he can support whatever policy positions he actually wants, OR he is trying to win favor with Biden in exchange for some small policy crumbs in some other area (something that he should know doesn’t work with any liberal politicians, but again, I guess he is just old). In both cases, I disagree with him ideologically, but he is an old guy who is probably retiring from politics soon, so whatever. The left should not be too hung up on individuals, remember that politicians are just a tool to implement policy. The really sad thing is that it will be harder and harder for a Sanders-style candidate (someone who wouldn’t actually owe his position to big corporations) to even run for the nomination ever again, especially since big money interests kind of figured out they “only” need to outspend left-wing candidates by around 3:1 and they’ve been very successful in recent elections.

If Ukraine loses and is forced to offer serious concessions to Russia (unlike the deal they already had and NATO prevented), the well armed extremists in Ukraine will go crazy. And they will probably be by far the most powerful faction. We could see terrorist attacks all over Europe from them.

I didn’t even see any cool clips circulating on Twitter, so my guess is that it was boring. At least it was on Jan 6th, something that these weirdos could disagree on, unlike stuff like economic and foreign policy where they probably agree on almost everything, with the possible exception of Greenwald being slightly less hawkish. Or at least he used to be!?

So they are saying if Hamas gets their hands on a nuke and uses it, they automatically become the most moral army?

He brought up 9/11 unprompted a few days ago. He was asked to say a few words about NY City and his first thought was 9/11.

It is funny how the occupancy and the death rate of the gulags declined after the US-supported (US literally invaded Russia to help him out) Tsar was defeated. It only went back up when it started filling up with literal Nazis.

I love how the definition of a moderate is always so funny. The ideology is “negotiating on immigration policy”. Biden is negotiating on immigration policy right now, that makes him a moderate by definition on that issue! Does he want that immigration policy more left-wing or right-wing than the status quo? Doesn’t matter! All that matters is the process of negotiation and the outcome is moderation!

Lol this title. How could you mistake almost naked civilians holding nothing but a white flag for Hamas fighters? They mistook them for unarmed naked Palestinian civilians holding the white flag, but later they found out they were actually unarmed naked Israeli civilians holding the white flag.

THE REASON WHY THEY EVEN BOTHERED TO CHECK THE BODIES (AND NOT JUST LEAVE THEM ON THE GROUND) IS BECAUSE ONE OF THEM WAS WHITE “HAD A WESTERN APPEARANCE” - https://twitter.com/prem_thakker/status/1736086642371235929

It is a debt trap to force countries to do neoliberalism. This guy is ready doing that.

Well yes, but I’m talking about more realistic scenarios. I can see them ditching Kamala, it would be so funny because KHive would go insane.

I can see the IMF just throwing free money at him and instantly writing it off to prove that “free market reforms work”. They can afford to do this.

Yes, because the “BernieBro” thing was mostly an online thing. In other words, that was just very online Hillary/Biden/Warren people crying because young people cared more about another candidate. But it was made into this huge issue by the mainstream media, I am betting that it received more TV time in 2016 and 2020 than the Iraq war and climate change combined.

It really is the Stalingrad of people having bad opinions.

It is funny when this happens to Elon or his fans, since only blue checks can participate in community notes and most of them are Elon fanboys.

Hey man, I don’t even want to do this. I guess I’ll hang around for 4 more years if it means owning Trump, whatever. It is just the US presidency, all that matters is that Wikipedia entry that I beat Trump twice.

Halley being the nominee and running on “first female president” and all the libs hating her for it would be fun, no?

A 7-day pause means that first rounds of basic aid won’t even arrive to all Palestinians before it gets blown up by Israel.
