I really want to stress part of this. The US and UK are bombing Yemen for upholding international law.

There are only 3 countries on earth that are actually in accordance with international law right now, and those countries are Yemen, Lebanon, and Iran. Those are the only 3 countries fulfilling the Responsibility to Protect. Every other country on this planet (I’m glaring at China while I say this) is failing that responsibility, and then a select few are dropping bombs to prevent those 3 from fulfilling that responsibility.

Every country selling a single cent of goods to Israel is violating this principle. There is a legal and moral responsibility to be dropping bombs on Tel Aviv, and not doing so is both a moral and legal failure. Xi, I’m sorry man, where the fuck are you?

I want Matt Miller to have every inch of his oily skin torn off of his body piece by piece

My biggest problem with the “Waffle House Index” is that Waffle House shouldn’t be able to make these fucking decisions.

For a Waffle House to be open that requires staff be there, and it’s not like that staff magically teleports north when their shift is over. If Waffle House closes at the last possible second how are you, the Waffle House employee, supposed to evacuate?

They should be forcibly shut down by the state long before they themselves are deciding to.

“We’re reclaiming our real ancestral lands. Bavaria.”

Remember when the US gov bailed out GM and didn’t bother to like, take any ownership stake in it?

On top of being incredibly evil, this country is incredibly stupid

Exactly, which is why I say, every time I see them translated I’m taken aback. I am very aware that there’s a very different context. It still throws me off when I see it because I (rightly) do not normally think of Hezbollah and the white supremacist preacher as the same and so seeing them use the same language feels super fucking weird.

I guess this is a better way to say it: Because of my background, those words to me have a white, Christian supremacist implication to them. When I hear people talk like that (in English) it is a very reasonable assumption to make that they’re a psycho that should be avoided at all costs. And that is not the case here, which is why it’s strange.

I shouldn’t have said “religious nuts” I suppose, that was my bad. Idk, could we maybe translate to synonyms that aren’t exactly how the Christian far-right talks?

Except it’s the same “flowery language” my fire and brimstone preacher gave at my grandma’s funeral where he said in the eulogy that my immediate family would burn in hell for not believing.

Excuse me for having a bit of religious trauma that comes out sometimes

I will say, when I see these things translated it does set off the alarm bells I developed being dragged to Southern Baptist services by family.

Full support to Hezbollah in their fight against “Israel,” but god damn why is it that most of the good guys lately are also religious nuts. In any other situation I’d hear this language and run far the fuck away.

Any way to get it with no insurance without paying out the ass?

Hey uh… maybe we shouldn’t research that. Maybe let’s just assume “it’d be bad” and leave if at that and not do it

Holders of any elected office, from President to Senator to county dog catcher, should be completely banned from owning any sort of stock, investment, or businesses.

You get to purchase US bonds. Thats it. In fact, you shouldn’t be allowed to own things once you’re done being in office either. If you’re ever found owning another kind of investment, 20 years in prison, no exceptions.

An elected official owning stocks or even worse, their own business, is pure corruption. It’s inherently corrupt, even if they are super well behaved about it.

In addition to the strategy of “No I promise we’re more evil than Trump please vote for us and we’ll do all the evil you want” they’ve been using since Biden, Kamala’s rolling out the new strategy of “I suck worse than Biden too somehow”

Genuinely every US politician should be tried for treason based on their connections to Israel.

Saying this, and like the article mentioned not mentioning flights to Jordan or Lebanon, to me is evidence of having a connection to Israel that as a lawmaker should be investigated.

You clearly care more about Israel’s treats than you care about the lives of US airline staff. She is literally saying “Americans should be forced to risk their lives to make sure no Israeli ever feels mildly inconvenienced”

Like nah I’m sorry man if you really want to fly through a war zone drop out of congress and go do it your fucking self. You can go do that, I’ll take your fucking job.

Something something the capitalists will sell us the rope

“Overcapacity is when we can’t sell things at as high a price as we’d like”

“Overcapacity” just means “We can’t sell things at as inflated of a price as we’d like to”
