AIPAC says jump and most of our politicians ask if they would also like a blowjob. Our government is for sale. The second China gets hip to pouring their money into lobbying, we are toast. Our politicians serve whoever pays the most.

Bernie got offered the buyout and took it. The DNC bought the right to cram a hand up Bernie’s ass and work his mouth like Jim Henson.

I think it’s pretty clear that Hamas being in charge of anything is a non starter for Israel coming to the table for a peace process. 
 

Anecdotally, I worked with a bunch of Palestinian engineers when I worked for division of highways. Their family moved to Jordan (not as refugees) because they said Hamas made it untenable (shaking the people down etc.) and would always be on a pause before they spark another conflict with Israel. 

Hahahah I poked my head in here to see if this had been posted and if there had been a rebuttal. It’s pretty damning when the UN says that because they have an adversarial view of Netanyahu.

Fun fact: The America Rescue Plan Act of 2021 made an exemption from federal income taxes for loans that are discharged between Jan 1 2021 and Dec 31, 2025. Those two people need to find a new tax guy.

How will a student loan payment count adjustment affect my taxes? | Federal Student Aid

I stand corrected. It's two guys I work with through the VA who had their loans discharged but not through PSLF or an IDR plan. Not sure if that had any bearing on it or they just legitimately are tax tards.

I like how it's painted now like everyone was voluntarily going along with it and it wasn't the government using a monopoly on violence to force them to pay fines or else. 

Ccjwh grabbed my pecker at the Best Buy. Open and shut case. 

I don't think Trump is a good guy per say but that whole thing was horse shit.

Fun fact: I know two people who had their loans forgiven. It gets treated as if you suddenly got that amount of money as income in the eyes of the IRS haha. So instead of owing Mohela, the IRS gets to spread your asscheeks to the tune of whatever tax bracket for that year that your forgiven loans pushes you into. It's sold as financial freedom but really a cashier is now making 150k according to the IRS.

There doesn't seem to be words to accurately describe how sick that is. Seems a lot of people can lean towards the dream of power over others or something. In class at Kent once, some long haired kid stood up and gave a speech on how "we can change the whole WORLD, man!".

drugs. something really wrong there. The rest of us, including the prof, just watched him storm out the door. Imagine 73%? of a country supporting taking over the world, even going to war over it.

I've been there and those protesters are giant dickheads for doing that on the Holocaust memorial day at Auschwitz.

I've been to it and it's heavy as hell when you are in there. Protesting people sobbing in there does exactly nothing other than making the people in there more upset or hardening them against their cause.

I don't think they can be personable enough to win anything but they can swing money around if they got it. George Soros is a goblin but he is a rich goblin.

lol, now the GOP neocons are threatening officials from the Hague and their families. Israelis can try to throw Netanyahu in prison and none of them bat an eye, but if someone else tries it, they'll have to answer to America. These politicians are owned by AIPAC. 🤡 HONK HONK

If these kids doing performative activism realized how the game is played, they would start a lobby and use mommy and daddy’s money to start buying politicians. They are all for sale.

Notice that when we (USA) fought Japan, we killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.  Ditto Germany.    Ditto Iraq.     Also, Russia has killed thousands of Ukranian civilians.  No protests, not a word.  But when Israel is attacked and almost 1,500 innocent civilians are killed (on purpose) and Israel responds, everyone condemns the Jews.

That’s just performative activism. Wait till a felon gets smoked by a cop between now and the election. The Ukrainian and Palestinian flags will go in a closet and white chicks will have BLM on their foreheads. It’s a big joke.

Sorry about the long diatribe.

Bear in mind, you can find retards everywhere. When I did work for FEMA, families would have elderly family members and still refuse to evacuate even with help. They would aggressively tell you to leave then the water rises and grandma drowns during a way more dangerous evacuation. Completely preventable.
 

Obviously it’s not apples to apples but I wouldn’t use some idiot as a metric for the opinions of most Gazans.

Different note: If I got shot at the mall because of Obama calling in drone strikes on a civilian target, I would hope people wouldn’t go “well the majority of people voted for him so Logic had what was coming to him at the Auntie Anne’s”. Also, their elections are probably a sham and it’s not like you would live too long if you did make a fuss about Hamas stuffing ballots.
 

That said, it doesn’t mean the IDF shouldn’t move forward in trying to wipe out Hamas. It does mean that there shouldn’t be some move by parts of the media to try to dehumanize people in a shitty situation. A 6 year old being buried under rubble is fucked. That doesn’t mean the brakes will be pumped on trying to weed out Hamas.

Interesting. A lot of this seems like they are trying to get back to the gains Trump made.

I think it's a mix of trying to save Biden's election and things that go on behind the scenes that are classified. Seems they are trying to limit China's reach, but if I can see that then I guess they're not doing a good job at being secretive, idk.

Anyways, seems there are reasons we're working with Saudi, let's see a post about Kushner again. It may be ok for the lefties now that Bidens involved.

The main reason for the deal at this time is elections. Gotta solve that conflict for votes.

 

'The Biden administration and Saudi Arabia are finalizing an agreement for U.S. security guarantees and civilian nuclear assistance, even as an Israel-Saudi normalization deal envisioned as part of a Middle East “grand bargain” remains elusive, according to seven people familiar with the matter.

Senator Edward Markey, a longtime advocate for nuclear nonproliferation safeguards, said in a letter to fellow Democrat Biden on Wednesday that Saudi Arabia, "a nation with a terrible human rights record," cannot be trusted to use its nuclear program purely for peaceful purposes and will seek to develop nuclear weapons.'

 

They already know how this will turn out...

Yeah I don’t love what will essentially be a nuclear armed Wahhabi led government in Saudi Arabia. If they didn’t have the oil, they would be riding camels and be some forgotten backwater middle eastern country. But they do have oil and they can flex that power internationally. It’s not even that we need it (we could be energy independent) so much as we don’t want China getting it and having a buddy deal with the Saudis.

I think Israel will get by. They are a first world country with a first world economy. They are still an ally so if say Iran directly sends troops (they won’t after getting their hand smacked), we would respond. The only reason the US is slowing or halting arms is because they just cut a defense deal with Saudi Arabia.

The world has gotten to know Kfir Bibas, his 4-year-old brother Ariel, and his parents Shiri and Yarden, who were abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7.

Kfir, who turned one in captivity, is the youngest hostage in Gaza. There are no words. We must bring Kfir and his family home.

 

I have a strong feeling most if not all of the hostages are dead.

You can accuse evangelical Christian of being more loyal to Israel than the US, and that is honky dory. But if you suggest the same of a Jewish person, then you have committed a crime in the eyes of the House. 

I suspect it will pass the Senate too. Can't wait for this unconstitutional legislation to be vetoed by Biden or struck down by SCOTUS. 

Honk honk 🤡

I also don’t think the folks behind this legislation understand the internet or how trolls work. The second you tell people that you want special treatment, circumventing the 1st Amendment, autists will work furiously to test the bounds of that law.

1. 
   For reference HR 6090 will be using the IHRA contemporary definition of antisemitism that includes talking about Jewish involvement in the death of Christ.

1. Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
2. Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
3. Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
4. Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
5. Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
6. Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
7. Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
8. Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
9. Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
10. Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
11. Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

We could make all the changes we want but ultimately asking the developing world to forego using all of their natural resources to appease western liberals seems like a hard sell. All of them are playing catch up and should do everything possible to raise the standard of living in their countries including utilizing all of their natural resources.

Just like the lefty dumbasses, anyone who doesn't think like them are some form of racist or some type of -phobe.

Not everything revolves around financial gains, especially at the expense of losing your countries identity and security. Dumbass cult

How embarrassing, dipshit calling Japan names.

While actively being flooded with immigrants who are causing a fucking ruckus, may not be the time to guilt Japan about not allowing in a bunch of immigrants haha. They have a very polite society built on a social contract that outsiders may not understand or respect. A lot is hinging on maintaining that social order.  I get it.
