They haggled from a life sentence to 3 years and everyone is cheering.

Because the people largely don’t give a shit. They can’t even inconvenience themselves but boycotting shitty expensive products, let alone put pressure on their governments.

AOC’s defense of her vote is a swing and a miss because it rests on a false distinction. She claims the amendment only cuts funding for the Iron Dome (a “defensive” system) and not for the bombs killing Palestinians, but that’s misleading.

The Iron Dome isn’t neutral; it enables Israel to continue bombing Gaza with impunity by shielding it from retaliation. It’s part of the war apparatus, not separate from it.

By opposing this amendment, AOC helped maintain the full structure of US military aid that underwrites the genocide she says she opposes. Her rationale sounds nuanced, but in practice, it protects the status quo.

And while she says she’s focused on cutting offensive munitions, the reality is that the US is sending Israel billions in lethal aid right now, and this amendment was a chance to actually stop some of it. Voting against it doesn’t show strategy; it shows inconsistency and a failure to act when it counts. If you’re serious about ending genocide, like she keeps insisting she is, you take every shot you can. This was one, and she missed it.

AOC is a beautifully blooming neoliberal, and it’s time for all to stop worshipping her. She had proven over and over again that she’ll vote for neo-liberal interests above all and justify it by wrapping it with a bow of humanity.

Think of all the American lives that could be saved with that money before you justify spending on the iron dome to protect foreigners from the consequences of committing Genocide. AOC is not your friend.

This is the US in a few years.

A life time of indoctrination that Israel was a just solution to the Holocaust, despite Palestinians having nothing to do with it. When we grew up, we knew Israel planted foreign trees to hide the Palestinian villages they destroyed, but it wasn’t until Kamala Harris bragged about it that I learn Americans collected donations to plant trees in Israel to “make the desert bloom” 🤮🤮

Implying they confess their sins or even have faith.

The ruined coil is if you run it too hot for too long… You’re being naive if you think it never runs a little dry and the coils never get red hot.

If you have a tank that exposes the coil from the air hole, just look inside it and see how red it gets from a one second hit.

You’re splitting hairs. The coils get red hot on dry wick and it burns. The coils are overheating.

There’s a deep historical connection between Armenia (a former Soviet nation) and Russia that goes beyond politics. Russia has historically maintained influence on other nations to protect their own interests.

Anyone stupid enough to buy America’s neo-liberal freedom spreading bullshit and willingly gives up their children’s futures for quick loans to do short term improvements that were needed in part because of US sanctions is an idiot, and unfortunately like any other country, Armenia is full of idiots.

You’d think of all countries Armenia would be the first to speak up against Israel’s genocide, with a quickly shrinking diaspora of Armenian Genocide survivors being persecuted in Palestine… But no, they wanted to make pappa USA proud and sided with Israel instead.

Armenia sold its future to help the dying American empire bounce back, and so did Lebanon. So tired of war, they let the US build a massive city-sized military compound with an airport on the top of a very strategic mountain and let them call it an embassy. People never learn.

I’ve wrapped enough coils to know they do in fact get red hot. Ask anybody who built coils how many times they’ve had to throw away a tank full because they ran it too fast and it burnt.

You trust the disposables to supply enough juice to keep the coil from every getting red hot? You trust the coil to be made of safer metals?

The metal coil that needs to get red hot to vaporize the PG/VG.

Not weird at all. It’s weird to verbalize empathy towards workers supporting genocide.

Notice I’m not advocating for their death, but when they are warned not to work on a ship because it will be attacked because it’s supporting genocide, it’s weird to exclusively share en empathetic view that paints them as innocent workers…

lol like the US can afford that what with a full blown genocide to continue funding.

Nazis.

This headline got you writing all that. Now go and see how many airstrikes Biden paid for with your tax dollars and who the victims were.

Trump used American pilots, Biden just have weapons and money to Israel to destroy Gaza.

This is a cult purge, they’ll be forming the parallel of the SS with their most loyal followers.

You see how this entire article concludes Epstein’s death was suicide? That’s manufacturing consent right there.

They are shaping the narrative, they get you excited about a random letter that proves nothing and would go nowhere in court and you praise them for journalism, but their objective is clear: normalize Jeffrey Epstein’s image as a financial manager who committed suicide after “he pleaded guilty for a sex crime”.

That’s quite the positive spin on their relationship.

it was a riot so a messy thing to investigate

You have any evidence for that beyond the IDF saying it was?

I’ll check back in two weeks and confirm that nothing comes of it, we can play this game for years, and I’m confident nothing will ever come of it beyond a possible slap on the wrist to say “look we took action”.

Rachel Aliene Corrie. The US doesn’t give a shit about any American when it comes to Palestine.

Context, my pal. They’re not talking about ALL employees of the government, they’re talking about bureaucracy and ineffective governing.
