Clearly you have never dealt with a narcissist on a close up basis.
They could have shot him in the butthole and all of a sudden his wounded heroic butthole would be the chief topic of a lot of conversations. I fully expect he’s not gonna let go of his little ear pad until it’s gone on way, way too long.
If Israel were only killing Hamas, we'd be having a very different conversation right now.
I think still needing to win the election with our fairly war-criminal-friendly electorate is a much bigger deal than the transition away from Biden foreign policy needing to wait until literal election day.
Remember -- we could still get the "shoot the protestors" guy. I'm happy if people feel more confident in Harris's chances but the fuckin world could still end on January 7th. It's still very much up in the air.
Oh is that all
Yes yes I know, my theory is pure fantasy, it will not happen. 🙁 For that among like 8 other reasons. But if the anti abortion can dream of the change they want to see in the world for 40 years before making it happen, I can dream about a bunch of marines putting Netanyahu in cuffs while he's protesting that he is above the law and trying to struggle. Hey, at least they didn't bomb his family's home and pour cement in his water supply and give him dysentery. He got off easy.
My guy, just as some constructive criticism, I think the "Kamala Harris is awful and no one should vote for her" stuff should be separated from the "Israel is right and should kill all the Palestinians" stuff.
I mean I think it is unlikely that either will produce any type of useful impact on Lemmy, but definitely they will not synergize well with each other if presented at the same time. 🙂
Yeah, I sort of suspected that it might be something like that. Like I say I never really attempted to get to the bottom of it to see if it was even true statistics.
Yes yes I am sure Netanyahu would fight his way out of the White House like Rambo powered only by the strength of his genocide and his 5 man security team or whatever
(I mean, you're not wrong that the whole thing is delusional. It is a pleasant imagination of what should happen in a just world, but I am not imagining that it is realistic or even close to it in this reality.)
In fairness, that comment is one hell of a roast. You either gotta ban them from everything, or reevaluate what you're doing; it just happened that they went with option A in this case.
I fucking well hope so
I also take some kind of hope in the fact that they met separately; like we’re not saying there has to be any continuity in what Biden’s policy has been to what Harris’s will be if she gets elected.
Baby steps
First we say, hey you really have to stop
Then you say, we’ll pause your weapons for a short time if you don’t stop
Then you say hey don’t you want to do this cease fire? It’s a really good cease fire.
Then you say you really have to stop, oh by the way here’s more weapons
Then you have to say you know what you’ve been really good this month about not killing too excessive a number of civilians here’s more weapons
And then the administration changes and the new administration gives a bunch of weapons
Edit: Oh also I’m disappointed that this story doesn’t seem to have seen any discrepancy between US people coming out the meeting all hopeful for a cease fire, and Netanyahu coming out of the meeting and telling the media “yeah dude we’re gonna keep killing until we feel like we’re done, and at that point we’d be happy to cease firing, sure.”
Guys, while he’s in the White House with all these security people around him would have been a GREAT time for the ICC to issue a warrant and for the US to say “well you know we can’t argue with that, law and order and all” and fuckin grab him. Just saying. I know it’s not that simple, you don’t want Harris to lose the election because the electorate can’t let go of their war crimes, but… fuckin live a little sometimes. You got all these security people there (definitely more than Netanyahu brought with him)… give them something really excitement inducing to do for once.
It loses a lot of its effectiveness since we’re already talking about the couch. It is better just posted in some random place, so that “COUCH” can burst into the scene unexpected, as was intended.
