    yeah, I’m with you on that.

    She could have been respectful. "as VP it’s my job to stand by my president, and I will continue to do that- as VP. but as a candidate? I gotta say here’s how I will be doing things differently… "

    And lets just be completely honest with Biden on gaza- He spent most of that time giving Netanyahu a blow job even though Netty was fucking him over by supporting trump.

      Which apart from the moral issues, really made it seem like he was not prepared to handle our current political situation. Netanyahu was lying to him over and over, clearly wanting to support his fellow far-right candidate, and Biden just blithely pretended they were the best of allies, never wanting to give any offense or entertain the thought that an Israeli leader might have his own agenda separate from the both us and the Israeli people.

        So, like I’m going to preface this with saying its open secrets, so these are only reported numbers. (that list is the top 20 from 1990 to 2024, and is specifically members of congress, so I’m not sure if it includes donations during his presidential campaigns.)

        but like. As a member of congress, Biden received more money from pro-israel groups than any other candidate. To the tune of 4+ million. His loyalty was bought. it was bought a while ago.

          Holy shit, almost double the next person. Dude is in the twilight of his career, he could have told them to fuck off with little consequences at this point.

        Pretended? They were and remain the best of allies. US democracy was secondary to whatever Netanyahu wanted.
