You mean fatwa?

The bounty thing was never confirmed. That’s why Biden didn’t do anything about it either.

how much worse trump would be

That’s, actually, an interesting question: Do, you, @CannonFodder@lemmy.world, whose third ever lemmy comment was on a post about the IDF hunting Palestinians down with drones and stated “Yes war sucks and they’ll use whatever nasty stuff they invent. Of course, Hamas could just surrender and release all the hostages.” really, think Trump is worse on Palestine than Biden?

Nah, trolls do it to get a rise out of people, they’re aware they’re being ridiculous. This one 100% actually believes this shit.

What I’m reading is you were fine with being a leftist while it gave you the moral highground to lord over others… until someone even lefter than you showed up and got the moral highground over you, then you decided purity tests are bullshit.

Ah, yes, the “I used to be a leftist like you, but then I took a criticism to my ego” approach.

…So you agree you’re not a leftist?

Nah, just the resident blue MAGA, spinning the same yarn as always.

Aren’t they? They seem to work like they are.

In a two party system, either one wins, or the other, which means for the Democrats to win, mathematically, all they need to be is slightly better than Trump, and so, they constantly run candidates that are horrible, but not quite as bad, this maximising corporate donations while staying in office.

Now, if you’re an informed voter, you’ll recognise this, and demand better. But if you’re the DNC, who despise their voters enough to do this in the first place, you’ll conclude you only lost because the voters are too stupid to do the math.

Throw in a VF-1 program and you’re golden.

I’m not!

Finally! A US political maneuver that actually came from Putin’s playbook!

Political maneuver literally named after a US politician

“Wow, this is just like Foreignistan!”

I mean, who didn’t?

Then again, IIRC, when polled, a sizable percent of men though they could beat up a gorilla, so…

“Heartwarming: the worst people you know are all fighting”

More like “the cops can’t get a search warrant, so they park outside and shoot through the windows, hoping someone fires back”.

…Sounds made up? Sounds made up?!?

You mean to tell me you’re here lecturing me about Robert Maxwell’s connections, while not knowing that he was, and I’m gonna directly quote Wikipedia here: “…afforded a lavish funeral in Israel, attended by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Israeli President Chaim Herzog, at least six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence[68] and many dignitaries and politicians, both government and opposition, and was buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.[69][70] Herzog delivered the eulogy, and the Kaddish was recited by his friend and longtime attorney Samuel Pisar.[71]”?

Goddamn, I even gave you the proper name of the cemetery. You’d think you’d at least google “Robert Maxwell Olive Mount”, but no, “sounds made up”. Jesus fucking Christ, you people…

He did. But he was buried on (in?) Olive Mount.
