Got the discount because of massive leverage over Trump - unless he won the election, he was eventually going to face serious criminal charges. Now he stands a good chance of getting off entirely scott free.

This is 100% what will happen, so of course the Dems will try to do it. Fools.

I’d vote for a 68 y/o Walz, because he’s the type of guy who would push for sensible reforms like age and term limits while in office. Harris is much younger, but you know she wouldn’t dare do something like that because she’s too invested in pandering to establishment donors.

Hey, welcome! Glad you’re here

Watch Israeli troops literally post up behind them, using them as human shields, to achieve this result.

lol oh yeah, Biden’s red line is like 50 miles back in the rear view by now. Easy to forget when he keeps rushing them billions and billions of dollars, while US infrastructure falls apart at home due to climate disaster. Neat!

Maybe…to tell you the truth, I’m not sure if the Fairness Doctrine fits this world anymore. You’re right though, while the president can light the fire, it will ultimately be up to Congress to actually do something about it.

Right now corporate news agencies are just mouthpieces for our corporate overlords who buy all of the politicians in order to further enrich themselves at our expense. It’s literally robbing us on a national scale. The less facts people understand, the easier it is for them to pull the wool over our eyes and gaslight us into thinking this is a normal, acceptable situation. Clearly this is not sustainable.

We do need some kind of regulations for news to actually be considered news, and to serve as a mechanism to make them deliver factual, useful information to viewers. Not entirely sure what that would look like tbh.

Fuck Israel for refusing to stop slaughtering Palestinian civilians and forcing this escalation.

And especially fuck the US for claiming for a year now to be working tirelessly towards a ceasefire, yet sending 10s of billions of money and bombs to Israel as a reward for the continued slaughter.

Disgusting land grabbers.

Reagan’s FCC overturning the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 is to thank for this. He and Nixon oversaw an incredible amount of societal and governmental sabotage. Quite the legacy.

It’s so much worse now, with these corpo propaganda outlets pretending that both parties are legitimate political parties representing people and not just fundraising/grifting organizations.

Trump had 61 court cases alleging election interference and voter fraud, and every last one was immediately thrown out during discovery because he provided no evidence. Thankfully completely bullshit claims do still fall flat in the us justice system.

However, the fake electors scheme was a very real coups attempting to subvert democracy, and we have plenty of evidence on it. I’d love for Harris to appoint an aggressive AG who will work tirelessly to ensure this doesn’t happen again because of the consequences for treason.

He did remove their supreme court’s ability to try him for his crimes, his party is the majority in Israeli parliament, he’s disbanded the war cabinet, and they’re actively trying to push back the next election date. So yeah, pretty much a dictator.

Netanyahu would lose a massive amount of power if President Biden would stop sending him so much money and weapons. Even the threat of doing so would have a huge impact. So arguably, a puppet dictator is more accurate. Although the way they interact would lead one to believe Bibi is the actual puppet master.

Historically a ceasefire means to stop killing, and it is considered broken if hostilities resume.

Baking in the resumption of hostilities is essentially negotiating for peace in bad faith. This has been Netenyahu’s strategy from the start, because he knows an end to the war means an end to his reign of power.

We’ll give them Florida

This seems to be precisely what Netenyahu has in mind, unfortunately.

Yep, this is good for Lemmy

We’re long overdue for a new reform party to run on few or single issue platforms, eg. to end FPTP and institute national ranked choice or star voting. They’d certainly be immune from corporate bribe money trying to drop these policies.

If they ran as independents to do just that, they’d have my vote. And it’s crazy enough it just might work.

Pretty sure there was another female agent who was covering him in front, so this meme seems a bit cherry picked

To call Zelenskyy “President Putin” at that critical moment was offensive and totally unacceptable.

Calling Kamala “Vice President Trump” is kind of hilarious though.

Both of these together paint a troubling picture. Why is Biden confusing people who are supposed to be his closest allies with those who are considered to be his bitter rivals? This was supposed to be his big press conference where he proves he’s still mentally fit to be president, and he totally blew it. Somebody get him outta there, Biden isn’t fit to be president and the sooner we can admit that and move on the better it will be for this country. The gaslighting in full denial of this is incredibly dangerous, and likely driven by whoever it is that’s actually in charge and wants to stay that way (all signs point to Jill Biden, who last I checked was not elected president.)

Apparently Biden has not had a full cabinet meeting since last year. These are the people who can invoke 25th amendment on him, and it’s looking extremely suspicious all of a sudden that he’s been avoiding them, and for such an insanely long period of time too!

For those of us who have had to support an elder family member through times of mental decline, the condition is extremely apparent now, and the administration can no longer hide it. Elders often resist or get angry when confronted about necessary changes, but it’s for their own good. In this case, it’s also so we can ward off a fascist takeover of the US. Come on dem leadership, it’s time to actually be the adults in the room and handle this.

Trump’s the perfect figurehead for MAGA, why should he drop out?

Ok Biden, time to do something about these fascists. They just gave you everything you need to squash the threat, on a silver platter fit for a king. It’s time to process the new information, understand the powers granted to you, and act - are you up to this task? Please don’t let America down, because you have asserted yourself as the only one who can now do anything about it.
