White House: “Actually the President saw reports from the IDF and the media about beheaded babies.”

IDF: “I have no idea what you’re talking about. And no we will not investigate these claims.”

    Really just a tone shift from Bill Hicks' "We're going in for God and country and democracy and here's a fetus and he's a Hitler. Whatever you fucking need, let's go. Get motivated behind this, let's go!" at this point

      Always a trip to go back through his early 90s material and realize it needs almost no updating to be relevant in the modern era.

      Part of me is sad to see him die so young. Part of me is relieved not to have to deal with Bill Hicks taking a hard Dennis Miller career turn and defiling his legacy with a bunch of cringey "Kids Today" takes.

    Can't wait for every racist liberal to let me know I support baby beheadings because I want people freed from a concentration camp!

    "Biden lied about seeing pictures of beheaded babies."

    Politifact rates this "Mostly Untrue." On October 10th, 2023 Biden said at a hearing about the Palestinian -Israeli conflict "I never thought I would have seen and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading babies." While some may have wrongly interpreted this as the president claiming to have seen pictures of beheaded babies, he never says explicitly that he saw them. He said he never thought he would have saw them and comments by his staff immediately after confirm that he did not see those photos.

    Liberal Frazzledrip. If it becomes a wider war that drags the US in, they're going to face the same need to justify an obviously stupid decision as a smart one. Hamas doing ritualistic baby killings is the best they've got.

    biden-the-thing biden-forgor biden-rember has proven to he a very effective propaganda tactic under both Biden and Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if the parties only push for 75+ year old presidents from now on.

    Israeli propagandists will now have to behead babies and take photos so they can claim Hamas beheaded babies. Really painted themselves into a corner on this one.

    Technically he never said he saw the pics.

    "I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of bigfoot"

    What was that thing trump supporters used to say?

    "You have to listen to what's in his heart, not his words"
