Maybe he thought it was okay since we just made friends with the heinous terrorists in Syria. Goose/gander thing comes to mind.

The Biden ghoul has some balls bitching about attacks here at home while he’s funding a genocide. 2 actually. Over 700,000 Ukrainians died in 2024 after Biden made Zelensky walk away from a peace agreement.

Plus all the terrorist attacks done by our military in countless countries overseas.

Violence begets violence.

the biden ghoul, being a fervent zionist, has no intellectual problem with the apparent contradiction due to his deeply held belief that some lives are worth more than others.

@QMS

certainly the oligarchs generate enough pain to go around even for the unthinking. perhaps the mission is illuminating it and its source, not causing it.

@humphrey

it seems that the word "hypocrisy" is not descriptive enough anymore. there needs to be some sort of neologism that combines hypocrisy with malicious intent.

@joe shikspack

There are too many words that fail to express what happening in Gaza and elsewhere regarding Israel.

There is a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and yet Israel keeps taking more territory and killing civilians, but as usual the world looks away from its actions.

If countries wanted to end the genocide they have many options , but very few are using them.

I looked at my watch a few minutes ago and it was 10/7. Hopefully the truth about that day will come out. Was Hamas working with Netanyahu? Or desperate that Palestine wasn’t forgotten?

my brain just popped out "selective indifference." not perfect, but on the way.

The criminality of the Kiev regime knows no bounds. It is mind-boggling. But the putrid reality is covered up by the Western media which indulges the fantasy of “noble Ukraine defending Europe from Russian aggression.”

The crass audacity of it. So, we have non-EU member Ukraine ordaining itself the prerogative to turn off the heating and lights for Europeans – all in the name of helping the NeoNazi regime fight a NATO proxy war against Russia.

Shitlibs are also cheering Ukraine stopping Russian gas going through Ukraine because they think it hurts Russia. Not as much as it hurts Europe and the poor people being held hostage by their leaders Russia-phobia.

If Putin runs low on money he can call the Saudi head cutter offer and raise prices through OPEC.

Sadly Britain is cutting off the gas subsidies to the elderly so that Starver can send more money to Ukraine.

Ahh well homelessness has risen another 18% and no one seems to care that Biden is sending another $6 billion to Ukraine.

Something about deserving the government you have.

I follow Michael Tracey and thing he does is focus on policy and history. And reams both dems and gopers. The H1b visa controversy is near and dear to my heart as essentially it caused my layoff. And I quickly learned age discrimination is real. But here is Tracy telling some truth. Oh by the way, Hillary said nearly the same thing thing in India to Indians fearing for a loss to jobs. Hillary basically said don't worry it is all rhetoric.

@MrWebster

i can't personally calculate the relative odds of the following:

1. meaningful government change, meeting the existential needs of all americans

2. winning the lottery

i occasionally purchase a lottery ticket, which i view as a special tax on people who can't do math, which illustrates my suspicions about the relative odds of the above.

@MrWebster

for hiring undocumented workers. How many times have we’ve seen companies get fined only to see them hire more undocumented workers and get fined again? Maybe if the justice department would throw a few CEOs in jail this behavior would stop. And just where does that fine money go to? The same place that the opioid fine money goes? Definitely not to those who have been harmed.

The rest of the tweet:

- The Al-Qadim base will reportedly host Russia’s “African Corps,” an alternative to Wagner, with former Syrian officers among its ranks.

- Daily Russian flights from Syria’s Khmeimim base to Libya have been ongoing since mid-December, likely supporting General Haftar’s forces in eastern Libya.

He pushed the button to blow up the truck. Gotta wonder what the message was.

I saw one of the gawd awful ugly trucks here in Ogden and boy was it ugly. Is it a status symbol for rich people? You couldn’t pay me to buy one. I’ll keep my 35 year old Toyota thank you. No bells and whistles.

But at least Sam loves for me to chauffeur her black bottom around the town with the top down. She loves giving the parade wave.

It looks as if there is going to be a fight over the spoils in Syria.
