If anyone thinks this is a good thing for US citizens, you're as big an idiot as he takes you for.

deekayy.bsky.social•19 days ago

Does he actually plan on doing any governing, or is it just narrated dictats and golf?

terrypasta.bsky.social•19 days ago

All the 'liberals' like him now.

terrypasta.bsky.social•19 days ago

He's copying the Democrats.

writewiser.bsky.social•19 days ago

Wait @mondoweiss.net not so quick, UNRWA already lost US funding last year, under Biden

Hey, Not Woody…Biden paused it, Trump withdrew completely. Not that same thing.

writewiser.bsky.social•19 days ago

"paused" and never restored.

And nobody had to twist Biden's arm, he's happy to violate US laws to help Netanyahu and punish Palestinian civilians.

@finndingo.bsky.social are you good with that? Because I am definitely not.

jundunionist.bsky.social•19 days ago

Is there a difference I’m missing between an indefinite pause that lasts until you leave office, and stopping something? It started off paused when Trump took office so he’s just announcing that the existing Biden-era policy is permanent.

As with every single one of these EOs: every single bit of culpability rests with the agencies that follow them. These orders are illegal, and the only response that should flow from them is: "Make me."

pitterzz.bsky.social•19 days ago

All those folks who didn’t vote in protest of the Biden Administration ….

kernighan.bsky.social•19 days ago

What about them? They had no impact on the results.

the-devil-you-know.bsky.social•19 days ago

You're blaming the boogeyman. If the "folks who didn't vote" were numerous enough to cost Harris the election, and it costs the liberals who don't give a shit nothing, then it makes the decision to not fund a genocide even more obvious, doesn't it? Unless, of course, YOU DO believe they should die.

the-devil-you-know.bsky.social•19 days ago

Besides, Biden was all smiles and sunshine handing over the keys to Trump - he clearly did not, does not, give a shit. He didn't care when he authored the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, he didn't care for peace in Gaza, he doesn't care that we're all fucked and the cohort...

the-devil-you-know.bsky.social•19 days ago

... of millionaire geriatric insider-trading Democratic leadership are all just as culpable as he is in all the cruelty we have and will see.

The party of Democrats play to the appeasement of fascists at every chance.

the-devil-you-know.bsky.social•19 days ago

It could be Biden skeeting "someone should do something", but instead it's the guy RIGHT NOW in office as minority leader, who COULD do something, skeeting it. The Democrats are not a serious party and you should not act surprised when they lose.

Don't look to others for blame. You earned this L.

Sucking up for his meeting with Bibi. So weak.

afelt.bsky.social•19 days ago

Well that is one way to push them towards China and Russia and Iran

nowarbutclasswar.bsky.social•19 days ago

Hey, fix this. It happened under Biden.

andrewgabrielrose.bsky.social•19 days ago

Hey fuck genocide Joe for eternity, but withdrawing from the UNHRC is new I think?

nowarbutclasswar.bsky.social•19 days ago

He paused it until March when he knew he'd be long gone

andrewgabrielrose.bsky.social•19 days ago

No no, not UNRWA funding-he pulled us out of the UNHRC, which he had also done in his first term, so it's not really "new" like I said earlier, but it isn't something that evil freak Biden did. Tag team of evil freaks.

remi-estelle.bsky.social•19 days ago

Biden's paused funding until March 2025. Trump is permanently ending it.

dragonborn.bsky.social•19 days ago

Pausing it while they needed it

nowarbutclasswar.bsky.social•19 days ago

Heroic action, really

remi-estelle.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yeah I'm not defending Biden. Everyone wants to be super specific with information, I was adding more clarity.

reidangela.bsky.social•19 days ago

I hope he has THE DAY HE DESERVES! Come on universe, have you seen his cholesterol!! Fo your thing! Drop a planet on him or something

diegg78.bsky.social•19 days ago

I just hope other countries step in soon.

freakymf.bsky.social•19 days ago

Wow, it's almost as if we told all the muslim voters in Michigan, and all the poseurs who kept calling him Genocide Joe, that Trump would be worse. I mean, who knew?

bigmads.blog•19 days ago

Trump is worse, and I gave Harris my vote to stop this, but that doesn't mean that Biden was good on this or immune to criticism then or now.

freakymf.bsky.social•19 days ago

So you made the right choice.
Nobody said Biden was perfect but as you noted, and votes, Trump miles worse

bigmads.blog•19 days ago

I didn't make the right choice. I made the best available choice from bad options.

jundunionist.bsky.social•19 days ago

I’m not sure if this is a terrible bit, or if you’ve missed the intense irony that Biden cut off UNRWA funding “temporarily” last year and never restored it. Trump is literally just continuing the Biden policy. Harris promised to do the same, but while saying Palestinians deserve to live.

freakymf.bsky.social•19 days ago

So...Trump is worse is what you're saying. Thank you for the validation.

jundunionist.bsky.social•19 days ago

I’m saying he’s fulfilling Kamala Harris’s campaign promise. It’s actually one of the only things he’s doing that’s not explicitly worse than what she would be doing this week, so I’m mystified why it’s the thing you wanna be snotty about.

joanofbarks.bsky.social•19 days ago

You have no way of known what Harris would actually have done if elected. How does him fulfilling her campaign promise absolve him? It's crap policy no matter who fulfills it.

freakymf.bsky.social•19 days ago

Rationalize all you want. Trump was a terrible choice and anyone who voted for him based on Biden/harris’s policy is a complete and utter moron. It’s really not that complicated.

jons253.bsky.social•19 days ago

But tell me again how you couldn't vote for Harris.

journeysofar.bsky.social•19 days ago

They haven't been funding UNWRA since the genocide started

dcred.bsky.social•19 days ago

but hey, at least it's not Harris doing this, right? at least all those assholes who refused to vote democrat because of their (admittedly extremely shitty) stance on Palestine can say "well, everything is worse now, but at least it wasn't done by someone I voted for!"

fuck every one of you.

sammy-neshashi.bsky.social•19 days ago

Sure, why blame Biden/Harris for her electoral loss instead of those who begged her to change her shitty (even, genocidal) policy and electoral strategy.
