  • Well, Netanyahu has surely found out something about all that fucking around and propping up of Hamas he was doing.

    But Palestine, even Gaza, ain’t the same as Hamas, you do know that… right? Or are you suggesting tens of thousands of people including babies and children are all Hamas?

    Because from where I’m sitting, Israel is fucking around and just murdering people and they and their supporters should definitely not be surprised when they find out people are calling them the murderers they are being.

    But also, what happened before Oct. 7? Sometimes out of the blue I remember that man and his son from like 20 years ago, hiding from the bullets that found them anyway, killing the son… shit’s been fucked there for a long time. You can’t live in a paradise keeping an underclass around to abuse, persecute, murder… that shit always comes back. Speaking from somewhere along Sherman’s March to the Sea, just saying… FAFO is right, but make sure you’re taking in the whole picture.









  • To me the weirdest thing isn’t how they still support him, it’s how little it seems the rest of US could care.

    It’s like the thing with Nigerian scammers and how they weed out the folks who aren’t gullible and get fat off the rest. The flamboyant absurdity that turns off normies is what attracts his victims (this is the first time I’ve actually thought of his voters as victims). I’m also reminded of whale sharks and how they filter out water and get fat off the plankton.

    But where are the Democrats in this? There’s no adversarial someone out there between a scammer or filter feeder and their prey. And sure, the people that are going to vote for him aren’t going to listen to a Dem. But what about the entire apathetic electorate? That’s the seawater Trump is using to filter feed on his victims. Without that apathy he can’t win. If only there were some way Democratic electeds could reduce apathy amongst the American people. Some way that wouldn’t upset donors, that is.

    sigh

    I’m afraid it’ll be voter apathy vs whale shark scammer this November.


  • But how? Democrats have been trying to get the media to discuss what they want when they want for like 4 decades now. Mainstream media has decided it’s on the side of business and Dems are bad for that (I disagree, but then I’m not a CEO, just someone who can read a chart), so how do you get them talking about the benefits of (D) actions instead of just the drawbacks they want to highllight in the 3 minute segment they only agreed to just to show how unrealistic or expensive or whatever they think those actions are?



  • Never suffered any inconvenience? Like, have you seen how she travels? But also…

    What expertise do you need to say “stop adding carbon to the atmosphere” at this point? Everyone lives here, we all should have something to say about what is inevitably coming down the pike - especially the young. You just come across as someone who has everything to lose wanting those with nothing to lose to sit down, shut up, buckle up, and just be grateful for the ride to whatever hell we’re heading to.
