Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

President Biden told a Democratic lawmaker and members of his Cabinet after the State of the Union address that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they will need to have a “come-to-Jesus meeting.”

Biden’s comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.

Pretty sure none of that has anything to do with what I actually said.

I guess it is easier to argue with someone if you can just decide that they're saying "it's unfair to criticize the president" or similar bollocks and then explain why that is wrong. 🙂

(BTW - If you scroll around in this thread, you will find me criticizing Biden)

Pretty sure drawing contrast to your apparently unquestionable support for Biden- specifically surrounding genocide- has everything to do with your criticism that we’ll never be happy.

And you might be right. There’s very little Biden can do or say to come back from his support for genocide. And as for climate change… he’s as hypocritical with that as he is calling for a ceasefire while making sure Israel stays fully stocked on bombs.

(For example, he broke his promise to block new drilling on federal lands, has released more oil from the strategic reserve than all other presidents combined and established policies which has increased oil production.)

Nah man he's right, Biden fixed the climate and saved Palestine! It's us, the simple minded voter, who are wrong.

I should have just said this when you first commented on my original comment lmao. I didn't realize how easy it was, thanks.

It's always amazing how dedicated they are at "offering criticism" completely out of context, with little to no evidence that completely ignores anything that doesn't paint Democrats in a bad light while simultaneously ignoring any criticism of the GOP. Solutions and context are enemies for some reason...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It’s amazing you don’t understand what “context” is.

The original commenter is trying to gaslight. He made a comment about how “we” wouldn’t be happy if Biden reversed course.

The irony here is there is absolutely nothing Biden can do to bring all the dead babies the bombs he’s already supplied to Israel back.

Biden has gone way the fuck out of his way to facilitate and support genocide. And the OC expects us to embrace Biden for stopping that support? For doing the barest minimum?

I guess I can give Biden a golf clap, if that makes him finally do the right thing. And you’ll note he still hasn’t done the right thing.

My guy, we're going to have an ice free Arctic by 2025. There is no more time for business as usual neoliberalism bullshit. You are deluding yourselves if you think trump is going to bring about the end of the world when the end of the world is literally currently happening lol.

What study bears out that 2025 date? Everything I've read regarding sea ice points at 2050-2080 at the earliest.

.. so downvotes in lieu of evidence? Plain lies it is then.

And I'm central, regardless I find the downvotes rolling in before any evidence is presented flummoxing, mammary glands aside.

And that study points at 2050, 2067 as an outlier. 2025 is the number you promoted above, no?

The earliest ice free conditions could occur in 2020 - 2030.

Read harder

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

What you need me to define the word conditions? Do you need to read the paper again and understand what ice free means?

Wow! You really are operating in the same fashion in both spaces. You might not care about intellectual dishonesty throughout someone's post history, but I find it incredibly illuminating.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 8 months ago

I apologize for a slight grammar error? I don't know what else to say. The artic will experience ICE FREE SEA ICE CONDITIONS by 2025. Great work detective.
