Fuck you, Biden. Shit like this is what just opened the door to Project 2025.

[–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

I'm surprised it didn't happen years ago. I'm also outraged that no u.s president has been tried

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 26 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

please die together with Trump and Putin

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 65 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 23 points 5 hours ago

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?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That may be true, but only 60% of congress is receiving Israeli bribes. Hence the number I chose.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

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 :/

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 56 minutes ago)

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.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 44 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

He pretty much did already.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 38 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

He'll not be remembered kindly by history for this. Even if he was objectively decent president.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Sad but true. I really don't understand why he is so adamant in his support for Netanyahu.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 16 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

How anti-semitic!

/s

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 22 points 7 hours ago

Hey, Joe: Shut up, man.

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 44 points 8 hours ago

Fuck me, that's some selective outrage there.

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 37 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 25 points 8 hours ago

We know what you think genocide Joe.

[–] Sagittarii@lemm.ee 10 points 6 hours ago

He's mad because there isn't one for him too. They should get working on that.

[–] BMTea@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

LOL earlier he said he disagreed wjth it but it was deserved. Two-faced old bastard.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 13 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

And yet the voters keep getting the blame for Trump getting elected.

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago (26 children)

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.

[–] coyootje@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago

I mean, they're just gonna go from genocide Joe to genocide convicted criminal Donald so not much of an upgrade there.

[–] Arelin@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 hours ago

I'd say having a senile old man as the head of a country is much more 'outrageous'
