Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Meanwhile Americans can't even afford homes. Backwards country

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fuck, a lot of us are economically hurting just buying covid tests.

[–] the_kid@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think you can still order free ones from USPS, I just got mine the other day

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Got mine last week and just in the knick of time. Still, went through them and needed to buy two more packs just to ensure I'm not missing work and all that.

Damn, solid idea. If they got shit like 3-d printers, job resources, etc, that seems a sensible place to check. I love libraries, but I got some laser-focus on those books.

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Only reason I know is that’s where I get my covid tests from.

I think the world would be a better place if Joseph Biden shot himself

[–] daisy@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's just a half-senile old man, puppeted by Wall Street. He's not worth the ire.

[–] Flinch@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nevertheless, Joseph Biden should shoot himself

[–] Flinch@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And the next guy while we're at it

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

You’re think of Gavin

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

You don't think that

You know it

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh look, just when I thought I couldn't hate America more

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

somehow there are always fresh depths

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

This but for hating America

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No aid for Taiwan. Typical! Biden is a CCP member after all. We will not forget about your neglect, Beijing Biden!

WASHINGTON, Oct 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden may consider a supplemental request of about $100 billion that would include defense aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan, multiple sources familiar with the request told Reuters on Tuesday.

Yellen going from "2 wars are affordable for the usa" to "3 wars are affordable for the usa" in the future (she is interviewed in her luxury nuclear bunker beneath the burning wastes of the potomac basin)

[–] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

genocide joe strikes again

Death to America

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

lmao the numbers just keep getting bigger. kind of funny.

[–] Blapoo@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 years ago

Gotta balance the books. A little defense against invasion in column a. A little funding for a genocide in column b.

[–] pmarcilus@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 2 years ago

Solve your own problems b4 trying to "solve" others' problems. I hope you have a good time in Palestine!

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

I keep feeling better and better about not voting for him.

But I stay feeling bummed there are no options worth voting for.

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

Just make it 100 trillion gazillion

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

No money for anything but more war, Jack. biden-troll

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

What the fuck does Israel need defense aid for?

Remember when everyone told you to vote for harm reduction.

[–] TheDialectic@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

China needs to start funding Hawaiian separatist groups so goddammit bad.

[–] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lmao the illusion that these numbers even mean anything is dropping really fast. There's just no fucking way the US is going to be able to handle both of these puppet wars at once.

The heart of the empire is palpatating

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

How much? How much!!!
