Upside to the present madness is the fact that Joe Biden is likely to be the last pro-Israel President for the foreseeable future.
Fo sho the last to call themselves a zionist.
Hell Biden may not even be pro-Israel in his second term. He's getting sick to shit of Bibi, I think the whole world is. I honestly think Israel really fucked themselves by giving this guy power so many times. If not for him there's a decent chance a two-state solution would have worked out. Granted Arafat (at the time) and other Palestinian leaders have done themselves no favors either. Just a total shit-show with people full of hatred on both sides.
The Israelis are acting like bloodthirsty psychopaths. Talking about building water parks on the bones of the Palestinians.
If I were one of those murica first isolationist douchbags, I'd consider feeding Israel to the arabs in exchange for 100 years of peace.
We've had to deal with the consequences of supporting Israel before. I don't see how they are worth another 9/11 to us.
Israel exists because Americans allow it. The Israelis obviously need to be reminded of that fact.
Nah instead they'll just bomb Iran, Iraq, and Syria and probably get us dragged into it.

Iranians: Ain't so bad
Practically goading Israel to hit them again.

**From Semafor's Mathias Hammer:**
Russian President Vladimir Putin is mulling the country’s first significant tax hike in more than ten years, a sign of the rising strain that the war in Ukraine has had on the economy and government coffers.
The Kremlin is leaning towards imposing tax increases on corporate profits and high-earning individuals that would net the Russian government tens of billions of dollars, Bloomberg and Important Stories, a Russian independent outlet, reported, although a final announcement is not expected until the summer.
Putin has floated the idea repeatedly in public over the last few months, as the government braces for an expected deficit of 1.6 trillion rubles ($17 billion).
Someone should tell Putin that this course of action is inflationary because corporations don't actually pay taxes. I'm sure he'll agree once he's reminded that cutting spending on social programs is how you balance the budget.
It's econ 101, bro.

My local Sheriff's office blasted an Air Force kid in his own apartment last Friday.
Apparently, the body cam footage is pretty convincing the deputy had the itchy finger.
This is the same outfit that shot up a patrol car when an acorn fell on it a while ago.

Bro cops in this country are out of control. They didn't even bother to identify themselves and what's terrifying is I may have done the same thing as this kid did in grabbing one of my sidearms before answering the door. I mean, fuck, it's basically a home invasion. I can only imagine the douchebags over at Fascist Funland are lauding the bravery of these fine officers for killing an innocent man in his own home because he dared answer the door while exercising his 2nd amendment right.

Theyre too busy railing against the authoritarian government to bother with another dead black guy shot by the cops.

The authoritarian government that, *checks notes* wants to ease the debt burden on the poorest parts of the population, is in favor of more expansive personal rights, and is supporting two democratic countries in their wars with real authoritarian nations/governments (the Israel/Palestine thing is complicated but at the end of the day Hamas is doing more to drag out that conflict than anyone else). That authoritarian government?
