  • The timing of the memo is sensitive, coming before key elections in the Netherlands, Czech Republic, and possibly France. It also references recent elections in Poland and Romania.

    Critics fear the memo signals U.S. support for far-right candidates and could encourage political interference in European elections.

    They’re 100% going to meddle in elections, that’s a bipartisan issue:

    Speaking to the Jewish Press about the January 25, 2006, election for the second Palestinian Legislative Council (the legislature of the Palestinian National Authority), Clinton weighed in about the result, which was a resounding victory for Hamas (74 seats) over the U.S.-preferred Fatah (45 seats).

    “I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake,” said Sen. Clinton. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

    Seriously, fucking up other people’s election is one of America’s favorite pass times and largest open secrets.

    It would be naive to expect trump to be the only president who didn’t do it

    Which doesn’t mean it’s ok trump is doing it.

    It means we need to be pissed anytime a president does it, not just when it’s trump












  • The only reason their careers has lasted this long was prior iterations of the DNC protected them from primaries.

    The current DNC won’t do that.

    If primary voters want to ditch the incumbent, Martin will support the new candidate just as hard as he would have supported the incumbent

    He doesn’t really care what candidate makes it to the general, except that they were/are the ones voters chose.

    And sadly enough, that makes him the most progressive DNC chair since Carter’s election.

    It’s a level playing field, and neoliberals can’t win in that environment unless it’s against a Republican.

    They won’t all get replaced at once, but it’ll happen. And more will choose to cash out and become a lobbyist before losing office.

    We don’t need the individuals, we need the seat they’re occupying.


  • There was a lot of armed resistance to the nazis and their genocide of not only Jewish people but other minority groups…

    What you’re saying would only be an excuse if Israel never took a genocidal action before the current “war” broke out.

    Like, you’re not looking at the beginning, just at one of the few times the victim got a punch in. Which just resulted in the victim getting beat harder, but who wouldn’t fight back after their friends and family have been genocide victims for generations?


  • Biden and the rest of the neoliberals gave Bibi everything he wanted, but it was never going to be enough.

    Give someone like that two choices who will do whatever he wants, but one is a sadistic asshole. And they’ll go with the asshole everytime.

    There was never any gain for a Dem to defend Bibi, except for the personal gain of campaign donations from a foreign country.

    And that’s one of the big reasons Dem turnout was low enough for trump to be president.

    Neoliberals picked Israel over America and we need to get every single one of them out of office



  • It’s weird to see people all over the place mocking Elmo for this…

    Like, he knows no one in their right mind would want to start federal service right now. They treat feds like shit, make wild cuts they know will effect actual essentials. Go on national news and the billion dollar social media websites they own to shit talk fed, even have the head of the DoD call federal workers lazy and a drain on the nation in a public memo for for some reason now comes with a video.

    The entire thing isn’t just designed to shrink the federal government, but to then replace it with contractors they “manage” and take a huge chunk of the wages from for the privilege of a job for less than feds got and zero worker protections.

    Just lining their own pockets in a legal manner because “no one wants to be a fed”.

    Meanwhile 50% of the country cheers him on, and damn near the rest can’t see more than two steps ahead.

    Why the fuck haven’t people started learning to plan ahead yet?

    Or at least read a damn history book. Fascist aren’t typically original.
