Waiting for 'BoTh sIdEs! GeNoCiDe jOe!' shitheads to show up

They're in the next story about sending weapons to Israel. 🤷

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yes, yes US-Israel relations are solely because of Joe Biden. Not like there's history between those two countries that goes back decades or anything.

You are very intelligent.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't say that. At all. I don't like Joe's handling of the crisis, but I'm not a Biden hater. I'm a keep Trump out of office at any fucking cost voter.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think a fair few of these people don't see the very fine line that Biden is stuck walking. He really doesn't want to see that lobby money head to Trump's campaign. And the people pissed at Biden not doing more for the people in Gaza seem to ignore that the alternative is Trump, who will likely just not care.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's also a significant contingent of pro-Israel Democrats whose votes he needs. He's walking a tightrope walk. I don't know that he's doing it well either, unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

He has been a very enthusiastic supporter of Israel for a long time. He believes in zionist colonialism.

Not that he doesn't have to consider voters whatsoever, just saying that he's certainly not reluctant to support Israel out of any ideological disagreement with Zionism.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm not really talking about his personal feelings on the matter, which aren't really as relevant right now as what he thinks will get him re-elected. So far, he seems to think lip service toward the Palestinian cause plus the maritime-based food distribution while militarily supporting Israel is enough for people supporting Palestine to support him and not going too far to upset the pro-Israel people. Like I said, I don't think he's doing the balancing act well.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Lol, you're so ready to fight you are taking swings at people who agree with you.

Yeah there goes verdantbanana, right on schedule.

Death for abortions and IVF.

The latter surprises me since it's generally affluent white people doing it, and this group definitely wants more of those babies.

Up next, death for miscarriage.

Coworkers who don't have daughters mock me when I say I don't want my adult daughter living here because it's dangerous. They think I'm overblowing it. They're taking the standard, "if it didn't affect me personally, it's not real or important," stance.

One fucked up thing a fertility doctor mentioned to me for embryo disposal seemed to be targeted toward forced birth states wherein the embryo would be transferred to someone who did not have a womb that could carry the embryo to term and would almost certainly miscarry called a compassionate transfer.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

That has to be the most fucked up thing I've read in awhile.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I won't mock you. I have daughters as well. We live in a solid blue state but out an abundance of caution me and my wife are working on getting them dual citizenship in my wife's homeland. Still have some more paperwork to go through but it is happening.

You should always have a backup plan.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There was a time when people tried to get US citizenship as a backup plan.

So pro-life they kill you.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

It is a very finely threaded needle. A loophole so small only they can see it.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do they tell the difference between an abortion and a natural miscarriage?

I'm joking, they don't care and are willing to kill the woman either way just to be sure.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tell them that the Taliban just brought back stoning. And mandatory full-body coverings for women. Then watch them somehow actively justify their views to void out the cognitive dissonance.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

It's okay when Christians do it.

Texas, you’re really wanting to find out, huh

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

you mean the citizens there that did not want this too right?

the disenfranchised voters, the voters whose information on the news and elsewhere is corporate owned

blaming the citizens for the wrongs of the elites who keep the populace suppressed is how we got here to begin with

what about the fact that many of the adults who did vote in favor of all this were indoctrinated from birth to be this way

huge multifaceted issue that voting a religious catholic or a pussy grabber in will not solve

Let's preserve life by killing people

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Well, we could always kill nazis for that

Protecting life uh, protecting life my ass. A virus has better chances at respecting life than these things...

Roe v. Wade fell during Biden's presidency and the most he did was an executive order for women's health research

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/03/18/fact-sheet-president-biden-issues-executive-order-and-announces-new-actions-to-advance-womens-health-research-and-innovation/

how are you going to advance something that is now not here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade

The Catholic Church condemned the ruling by the Supreme Court.[141] Blackmun wrote in his diary, "Abortion flak—3 Cardinals—Vatican—Rochester wires!"[141]

John Cardinal Krol, the archbishop of Philadelphia who was also the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Terence Cardinal Cooke, the archbishop of New York, both issued statements condemning the ruling.[175] Krol called the ruling "an unspeakable tragedy for this nation" that "sets in motion developments which are terrifying to contemplate."[175] Cooke called the decision a "horrifying action" and added:[175]

How many millions of children prior to their birth will never live to see the light of today because of the shocking action of the majority of the United States Supreme Court today?[175]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden#

Biden is a moderate Democrat[549] who says his positions are deeply influenced by Catholic social teaching.

how do the Republicans differ on abortion again?

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Roe V Wade was overturned by Supreme Court packed by GOP and Donald Trump. Fuck off with your bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Don't apologize for Biden. He could have tried to pack the court, he could be given weekly speeches denouncing their decision, he has the IRS and FBI could have made Thomas' and Alito's life a living hell with daily announcements of fresh bribery charges, he could pick a fight with the Catholic Church pointing out that it is a foreign power influencing the US government. Instead he went gently into that good night.

Now will I vote for him? Yes because the alternative is worse. Can I support him? Not for a second.

Please tell me precisely how many justices Biden has appointed vs. the number of justices on the court.

2024

Party Against Women's Rights versus Party Against Women's Rights

regardless of which camp you are in both parties are on record saying they are against abortion

even in one of the comments below a person commented that Biden would not say abortion

in plain speak on both Wikipedia pages for Biden and the Catholic Church and we all know the Republican's stance on this

but both parties are not the same clearly

one candidate is named Donald and the other's name is Joe
