Netanyahu walked into the United Nations expecting a global audience—and instead got rows of empty seats.
As he took the podium, diplomats from more than 50 countries walked out. An Israeli tally later counted 77 delegations left the chamber when he entered to speak.
Nothing says “greatest ally” quite like delivering a speech to a half-empty room.
Whatever Netanyahu came to say, a significant number of governments had already decided they had no interest in hearing it.
I love that for him.
WHY??? Why aren’t millions of people taking to the streets in the US right now because of Trump?
My god, I genuinely don’t understand how everyone just carries on as though everything is normal. From over here in the UK, it is genuinely baffling to watch. When did people become this numb? What is it going to take for Americans to finally say enough is enough and stand up?
P.S: You've just gone state media.
Many thanks to Brian Krassenstein!
“The weirdest thing about leaving America is realizing how much of America is just a sales pitch.
You spend your whole life hearing “greatest country on Earth,” then you go overseas and see clean trains, safer streets, affordable medicine, cities where people can walk without playing Frogger with an SUV, and workers who take vacations without acting like they committed treason.
And then you come home.
You come home to potholes, medical debt, school shooting drills, $17 airport sandwiches, people living in tents under highways, politicians wearing flag pins (or worse, gun pins) while doing absolutely nothing for the people standing in food bank lines, and billionaires being treated like they’re the fragile ones.
And somehow we’re all supposed to stand there, hand over heart, and pretend this is normal.
I don’t hate America. I hate what America has been taught to tolerate.
I hate that we call basic things “radical.” Healthcare? Radical. Paid leave? Radical. Clean air? Radical. Kids not getting shot in math class? Somehow political.
Meanwhile, the loudest “patriots” are usually the same people telling struggling Americans to shut up, stop complaining, and be grateful.
Grateful for what? A flag doesn’t pay rent. A bald eagle doesn’t cover insulin. Fireworks don’t fix bridges. And chanting “USA” doesn’t make a broken system less broken.
America has incredible people. That’s the tragedy. The people are better than the system they’ve been forced to defend.
So no, I’m not going to call America the greatest country on Earth just because it has the best marketing department.
Real patriotism isn’t pretending the country is perfect.
Real patriotism is being angry that it isn’t”

@Canadianism@ctvregina Fair enough. But they’ve done it for all other concerts at Mosaic. They offered it for free, but I’m saying most people would pay $4 or $5 each way to get that ride. Help recoup the extra costs incurred by the city.
@LakotaMan1 In Penn the patsy was killed, like Lee Harvey Oswald. Let’s see how far Kirk’s “murderer” gets before he mysteriously dies like Epstein. BTWTrump & Epstein raped little girls.
@Northerngold01 He was like what, 18? There’s a pedophile in the White House and in the top positions of US government and major industry leaders and IT oligarchs. Given your previous posts, you have zero issues with that. But an 18 yr old singing about things he never did, you take offence 🤪
@jamesonkj Ah, he was upset. Even as a Rider fan, I’ll give him a pass. He’s a warrior, and the league is better with him balling out as he has the last 3 games.
