But he sanctioned four settlers for a few days! He's big mad!
Also love how all the talk of the totally real arms embargo set to trigger after the election has pretty much disappeared from all public consciousness. Like, wouldn't now be a good time to prove that you're the "harm reduction" party? Guess we'll find out in one day…
Even if you became president tomorrow
lol fuck that
stabbed a bunch of senators to death
well, now I'm having second thoughts if this is something I could do as president and still remain in office…
and forced the US to withdraw all military aid from Israel
you mean, simply stop arming them and caping for them at the UN/ICC/ICJ? Who would I be forcing? I'm the fucking president! All I have to do is say that "we are a nation of laws" and list out the number of federal and international laws the US was breaking through our complicity, then say "no more. We will no longer aid in this atrocity." Americans don't want to be mired in foreign conflicts to begin with; I would assure them that their voices were heard loud and clear by the RustyVenture regime. Congress (those who weren't stabbed to death, I guess) would get painted into a tight corner and would have to jeopardize their fabled optics in order to check me on it since it's both illegal on its face and their constituents overwhelmingly don't want them to do it. And I'm the kind of motherfucker that would hang every single one of them out to dry if they dared to try.
The U.S. has influence right now. Throwing that influence away would leave Israel seeking other allies, like Russia, who would have no qualms about absolutely ratfucking every living person in the Gaza strip for money and influence.
I think there are some pretty effective ways to "influence" Isn'treal to stop that this holocaust denier is conveniently ignoring (on top of ignoring that our "influence" is presently just sending more money and bombs to nazis who keep showing and telling us what they'll do with them). This is where as president, a week after making the "nation of laws" statement, I would announce that we are commanding our forces already in the region to begin taking measures to avoid further bloodshed, withholding arms for "defense," and ultimately threatening the zionist entity with lethal force if they attempt to continue their holocaust. My UN ambassador would be providing testimony to undermine their attempts at cover-ups. I would use the entire weight of the national security apparatus and post-9/11 legal frameworks to justify things like sanctions, further embargoes, travel bans, product bans, etc. at home. I'd be sending escorts to help keep journalists and aid workers from getting murdered by the IOF abroad.
Russia's busy right now, and China wants the opposite of whatever theremoved colony wants. Neither country is going to take a bullet for some 
ethnostate, especially given how much it's hurting 
on the world stage. I'd sooner expect them to send missiles to Hamas lol.
This tired talking point also ignores that the zionist entity would need to swap over entire supply chains to another country/countries that absolutely do not have the same presence or enjoy the same latitude in the region that the US does. That won't happen overnight, or in any timely sort of manner. They'd also have to contend with the US actively blocking those shipments for a change! The occupation would definitely not be operating with the same indifference to their own precarious existence without the backing of their colonial master. If that doesn't force some action, so be it. Time to turn those passive measures into active ones, to say nothing of all of Isn'treal's neighbors rightfully take advantage of their vulnerabilities. And the die will be cast. I would be selling this vision to the American people in front of every microphone and camera I see. It would become unavoidable. People would support it just to get me to talk about something else. It's a win-win.
Liberals oppose every war except the current one, etc.
I have no doubt they'd find a way to square that circle in their minds. "Cheney might not be perfect, but we have to stop Palin from being one heartbeat away from the presidency!!!!"
We really don't have to hand it to him, but honestly, whether we go by the actual context of his ramblings or the one libs keep dreaming up, it shouldn't matter when these murderous creeps are involved. Send the Cheneys and Boltons to the front or send them to the wall. Either way, justice will have been done.
we know less about it than they do
Well that's all depressing to learn, and (unfortunately) it makes sense 
Thank you for the explanation comrade!
Possibly dumb question: couldn't all of the countries that voted in favor just reinstate trade with Cuba anyway? If the US tries to swing its dick around, refer those saps to the infallibility of the international rules-based order, the UN charter, and threaten to cut off trade with the evil empire should it continue endangering the free movement of goods. It would be funny, likely effective, and well deserved, especially at a time where US soft power is already waning. Feel like we have a lot more to lose than most of these other nations if we tried enforcing our delirious terms on them.
ETA: Of course, I mean the larger, industrial nations with large trade networks; I can certainly understand how/why a smaller country who relies a lot on US imports/exports don't want to set off the bloodthirsty burger empire.
Man how much lower can this worm dig? Almost glad he never had a shot to sit on the genocide king’s throne.
Sorry people aren’t as willing to abandon their morals and fall in line for a pyrrhic political ghoul as you, Bernie.
Here’s how John Kasich can still win!
Holy shit right? Absolutely loved pfsc, still remember building up a bunch of new ones and then starting the story over again to catch up. I still have the book and have lent it to friends, and it's always been interesting to see what they think of it.
Also this unlocked a memory where one year in college for a party I made an "America Is Okay I Guess Sometimes" t-shirt. Relevant comic:
Actually kinda great to look back and see how I was already on the path to by 2012 lmao
Yeah, just not enough posts lol
Oh yeah. I felt like it was pretty neutral overall, though the crossposts with the_leftorium were always well-received. Now at least a third of the posts are just the most low-effort, r/politics-comment-over-a-simpsons-scene dreck. There's no way that shit's totally organic.
These people also ruined simpsonsshitposting which for me was the only decent place left in that cesspool. None of their memes are even good! All grandma-tier clapbacks.
brat and it's the same
Indeed it is. That must be why you're somehow going to lose to Trump just as hard as the guy you replaced.
Personally I’d prefer if the campaign and party that keeps caterwauling over how much more rational, composed, and committed to truth they are than Trump would stop acting like Trump in both word and deed. It would really make their deranged, existential fears about “democracy” being “under attack” seem more credible.
Tbh my immediate thought was “oh that’s perfect. This is probably how the Harris team is formulating positions on everything irl” before laughing at what was actually at the bottom of the board.
Hmm, weird. This doesn’t sound like an explanation of actions that an oppressed people could take against their oppressors.
Want to try that again?
Do an experiment, Einstein! Grace us with your genius! I’m sure he would’ve come up with a good reason to tut-tut the prisoners in the Warsaw Ghetto for capturing a few Nazi “civilians.”
and ignore the yapping mutts.
Call it KHive
100% same and anytime I mention the anonymity aspect to other people they tend to agree (still haven't seen that change their behavior, unfortunately). I also like how uncomfortable it makes some people in public settings, and enjoy the knowing look I give/get from the remaining maskers in my area when our paths cross. It feels nice seeing people who still attempt to give a shit.
