Fuck you, Biden. Shit like this is what just opened the door to Project 2025.
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.
I'm surprised it didn't happen years ago. I'm also outraged that no u.s president has been tried
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
please die together with Trump and Putin
He welcomes Trump with open arms, and acts like a lame duck. But can still get fired up to defend war criminals and try to stop Bernie’s move to block arms shipments. I don’t even know what to say.
You say what was obvious from the start. Democrats were never going to stop the genocide in Gaza.
The man is getting senile, he works on knee jerk reactions as if it's the 70's.
"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.
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.
huh, we wasn't cynically posturing for election purposes, he really wants to die on this hill :/
Biden is a devout catholic, meaning he believes Isreal must be the home for all jews for the rapture to happen. Not enough people are talking about this. Even the most "normal" religious people are nut jobs that shouldn't be in power.
He pretty much did already.
He'll not be remembered kindly by history for this. Even if he was objectively decent president.
Sad but true. I really don't understand why he is so adamant in his support for Netanyahu.
Because he's a true believer who's drunk the Zionism kool-aid.
Plus it probably helps that he's received more money from AIPAC throughout his political career than his current net worth.
Because it's self serving.
If Bibi is a war criminal for leveraging an admittedly horrible terrorist attack to commit horrendous atrocities, so is Joe Biden.
What the US did in the 2 decades post 9/11 is no better or worse than what Israel is doing now. Accountability for one means accountability for the other, and Biden doesn't want to be held accountable.
Maybe I'm soft but I find the dead and starving children to be slightly more outrageous
How anti-semitic!
/s
Hey, Joe: Shut up, man.
Fuck me, that's some selective outrage there.
Doesn’t really matter what he thinks, since the US ain’t part of the ICC. What’s pathetic is countries being part of the ICC, condemning the arrest warrants.
We know what you think genocide Joe.
He's mad because there isn't one for him too. They should get working on that.
LOL earlier he said he disagreed wjth it but it was deserved. Two-faced old bastard.
And yet the voters keep getting the blame for Trump getting elected.
As well they fucking should. Trump isn't going to be any better for the Palestinian people than Biden and Harris. He is, in fact, going to be far worse for them. Also, he's a traitor, a serial rapist, a misogynist, a pedophile, a grifter, and an imbecile. The American voting population either liked what they saw, or didn't care enough to vote against him. Fuck every single one of those assholes right in the face.
Genocide Joe vs ultra genocide Trump, great job voters.
I mean, they're just gonna go from genocide Joe to genocide convicted criminal Donald so not much of an upgrade there.
I'd say having a senile old man as the head of a country is much more 'outrageous'
Fuck this
