    You know Biden is not part of the House and the House is run by Republicans, right?

      Biden denounces ICC for ‘outrageous’ implication of equivalence between Israel and Hamas

      The Biden administration on Monday forcefully denounced efforts by the International Criminal Court to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli officials and Hamas leaders, saying the court’s efforts put the terrorist organization and a top US ally on equivalent footing.

          In the interest of learning, the ICC is not a state actor, so what exactly is the difference in this case?

          EDIT: The sanction is actual travel and economic restrictions on members of the ICC. “Denounce” is the typical posturing. For those who care…

          His words mean absolutely nothing. Biden will let the both-sides theater play out when convenient. When the both-sides theater does not favor israel Biden will bypass congress and use slimy loopholes to send israel weapons.

          In earlier words Biden has already denounced the ICC and said they were not going to follow the arrest command. Called the ICC outrageous and simped for Netanyahu. Some lip-service to wash his bloody hands with now doesn’t magically make him innocent.

          If Biden truly cared about international law he’d be doing everything in his power to prevent these sanctions from becoming reality. But he’s too busy bypassing congress to build his Trump wall against immigrants.

            If his words mean nothing then stop posting his words denouncing the ICC as proof he supports these sanctions. Let me know if he signs it.

              His words you quoted mean nothing as they are even contradicted by his earlier statement.

              If he signs it will you support a third party instead of Joe Biden?

                Ha why not. In fact I’ll go further. I just donated 200 dollars to humanitarian aid in gaza. I half thought about making it on the condition of him signing this bill, but then I thought it would be cruel for them to never receive it. It helps more than denying the reality of any differences between parties. After all of we can accept that reality why would they try to go any further?

              Indeed. But what differed him from his father? I did not pick Tywin, the calm and collected tyrant. Joffrey symbolizes something very specific.

                  Joffrey represents a crybully. He bullies people, but acts insulted when someone retaliates. Often running to mommy to whine about it.

      OK, so replace his photo with any congressperson if you insist on being so pedantic.

      The point is the absurdity of american government, which Biden as the president, is a symbol of.

      When advantageous, most republicans would also claim that the US respects international law, then turn around and pass a vote like this.

      EDIT: about a third of house dems supported the bill

      Way to completely miss the point. He’s obviously there cuz he’s the current US president.

      If they wanted to dunk on biden specifically of course, they could’ve just pointed out how he’s has been bypassing congress to send weapons to israel faster, or how he walked back the few sanctions on israeli settlers that were only for optics anyway since it was to pretend as if the state itself wasn’t behind it, but this is just the most recent shit the US is doing.

      Edit: Looks like Biden does agree with the move against the ICC too, so there’s no need to bring up all the other shit he’s done specifically.

          If you’re gonna be such a pedantic shitlib, should I edit the caption to be something from this article Linkerbaan mentioned? Since it’s about this incident specifically.

            I’m all for blaming Biden for things he did.

            Sanctioning the ICC is not one of them and was done by his opposition.

                There absolutely is opposition between the sides.

                The right wants to take away womens rights.

                The left wants to take away gun rights.

                Just as a quick example.

                  ? Of course there is opposition between the left and the right. What does that have to do with two right wing genocidal capitalist parties?

                    They are not both right wing.

                    Examples:

                    Left:

                    Student loan forgiveness.

                    Right:

                    Blocking student loan forgiveness.

                    Alternately:

                    Right:

                    Capital Punishment

                    Left:

                    Blocking Capital Punishment

          "I have never really understood exactly what a ‘liberal’ is, since I have heard ‘liberals’ express every conceivable opinion on every conceivable subject. As far as I can tell, you have the extreme right, who are fascist racist capitalist dogs like Ronald Reagan, who come right out and let you know where they’re coming from. And on the opposite end, you have the left, who are supposed to be committed to justice, equality, and human rights. And somewhere between those two points is the liberal.

          As far as I’m concerned, ‘liberal’ is the most meaningless word in the dictionary. History has shown me that as long as some white middle-class people can live high on the hog, take vacations to Europe, send their children to private schools, and reap the benefits of their white skin privilege, then they are ‘liberal’. But when times get hard and money gets tight, they pull off that liberal mask and you think you’re talking to Adolf Hitler. They feel sorry for the so-called underprivileged just as long as they can maintain their own privileges."
