This country really is so cooked. Taking control of land to build a cop city instead of homes for poor people is just a fantastic display of what this place values and how this stupidity and cruelty is shared by both major parties.
The median credit card interest rate is 24.37%. Jamie Dimon became a billionaire after his bank received a $416 billion taxpayer bailout and was fined $13 billion for mortgage fraud. This is what a rigged and corrupt system looks like.
Here’s Tony Blinken on October 31, 2023 reciting a completely false and fully debunked story of Hamas atrocities to push back on calls for a ceasefire
Blinken & Biden extended the genocidal war for as long as they could when a deal was always within reach
I wonder if the people condemning Just Stop Oil activists for destroying art are able to put two and two together yet.
Anyway, here’s an unrelated post…
I can think of no more perfect image to encapsulate the modern Democratic Party than this sundowning butcher, this lamest of lame ducks, doddering out of the rose garden to press the KILL MORE PALESTINIANS button for the 100th time like it’s a morphine pump in a hospice.
When I look back on 2024, everything is subsumed by the shame and grief over being part of a society that facilitated Israel’s mass murder and ceaseless terror of Palestinians. There are many horrors around the world, but the Gaza genocide could have been prevented with a single phone call from Biden to Netanyahu.
Instead the Biden admin, with the support of the political and media establishment in the “rules-based” Western order, facilitated and whitewashed Israel’s barbarism.
The normalized genocide of innocents trapped in a besieged death camp for every day of 2024 is one of the worst crimes in human history.
AOC and Bernie Sanders are engaged in one of the most disgusting depraved sick acts of deception I have ever witnessed, all to launder Genocide Joe and Democrats and their own complicity in the ongoing Gaza genocide.
Whenever you read statements from pseudo-radicals like them in Congress where they pretend they're trying to stop the genocide, they keep repeating the stock-phrase that came out of a PR-test by that depraved scumbag Matt Duss: We need to stop sending "offensive weapons" to Israel.
"Offensive weapons".
What are "offensive weapons"? How does a weapon turn from being "defensive" to "offensive"? How do you distinguish between a missile, bullet, artillery shell, jet, tank, bomb sent for "defense", and one sent for "offense"?
The distinction between "offensive" and "defensive" weapons is patently absurd by itself already, as missiles, shells, bombs have no magic block on them that prevents their use in massacres, but in the context of Israel it's doubly deranged as you're openly and proudly committing to defending a death-cult that's committing genocide as we speak.
Even if you're just referring to purely "defensive" systems like the Iron Dome, by saying you will forever support sending and funding those you're saying you are committed to shielding the genocidal Israeli death-cult as it murders, rapes, maims, beheads and kills countless not only in Gaza, but in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, wherever it pleases.
The "defensive" weapon is thus the primary condition that enables their genocidal mass slaughter, it's "offensive" capacity. So you have committed to forever enabling their mass genocidal slaughters and rapes, but with the pretense of being opposed to it. That is what makes you infinitely more depraved than those who openly say what they are.
The very concept of an "offensive weapon" in relation to the genocidal Israeli death-cult is a sick depraved joke. Can you imagine during the Holocaust AOC and Bernie Sanders coming out and going: "Yeah ok sure they're doing the Holocaust, they're mass murdering babies and children, girls, boys, men and women, but Nazi Germany has the right to defend itself. We have to keep giving them diplomatic cover and infinite weapons, but only if they're "defensive". Those are the good weapons we send them. Also the anti-Nazi resistance are evil sub-human rapist monsters who must be destroyed."
That is what Bernie Sanders and AOC and all the other pseudo-radical scum have said over and over again: Israel "has the right to defend itself", that's Holy and Sacrosanct, and the Palestinian resistance are evil sub-human rapist monsters. In fact, they have both praised Israeli rape-soldiers as brave heroes and keep lying about the "1200 innocents" on October 7, another PR-tested phrase that scumbag Matt Duss handed them:

And to be clear, that's not what Bernie Sanders and AOC are limiting themselves to, their definition of "defensive weapons" includes most missiles, artillery shells, bombs, tanks, jets, advanced weaponry of all kinds, and it includes all of them except for a couple slated for delivery in 2026/2027.
That entire spectacle in Congress was a purely symbolic token bill that they knew would lose anyway and only covered a tiny marginal amount of shells and bombs that were slated for delivery years from now, and the only reason they did it because they wanted to fool people on the left by pretending they were actually trying to do something meaningful to stop the genocide.
They were trying to launder their own reputations with outright blatant lies to advance their personal political careers and to help shield Democrats with the "well at least we have a couple who tried to stop the genocide!!!" excuse.
Again, it is one of the most disgusting depraved spectacles I have ever seen, and it is not at all surprising that it came from AOC and Bernie Sanders.
