Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “But Palestinians are not just numbers. Behind these numbers are real people — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters — who have had their lives stolen from them and their families torn apart. And we should not be trying to hide it. These are innocent children and babies who have been bombed in their tents, burned alive, dismembered and deliberately starved to death. Where is our shared humanity in this chamber? There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all, not when they’re alive and now not even when they’re dead. It’s absolutely disgusting. This is genocide denial.”
“…with a death total so high that we have been banned from telling you the number…”
Good to know our government can still get shit done when it’s something fucking stupid.
Not just stupid, absolutely depraved!
The only lesson learned from the COVID years: if you stop reporting the numbers, the numbers stop going up.
it always irks me when someone says that biden handled covid when he simply had the numbers hidden from the public like a few state governors and trump tried to do, but got a lot of blowback for it.

I want names. I’ve got some angry letters to write.
Mine said “not voting.”
Just as bad as voting for it, honestly.
A vote not for Biden is a vote for Trump. 👍

I dug up the roll call for this vote, if anyone wants to look up how their representative voted.
Let me guess where most of the yay votes came from…
Edit: checked and surprise! Most Aaye votes are Republican. Only actual surprise is that there are 62 Democrats in there who should spend a week in Gaza to understand what they really really votes for.
Democrats are war profiters. They know what’s going on, and they know it brings big bucks to their corporate sponsors.

I Wouldn’t expect any less from this gold plated cesspool founded on genocide, slavery, and exploitation.
“herp derp but we saved the world and beat the Nazis!” Yeah, we fought and defeated the Axis… after they decimated our pacific fleet and brought the war to us. Prior to that, eugenics were popular here, and practiced. Hell, some of our most infamous capitalists supplied and financed both sides of that war, after all, private profit is what America is all about.

We’re dogshit, all the way back to the zealots fleeing Europe to be bigger religious prudes and nutters. The only amazing thing about our country is its ridiculously massive, undeserved ego.
Not to mention that they didn’t join the war until the Russians and Germans had bled themselves dry on the eastern front and the soviets were well on their way to Berlin.
If you wanted to debate who won the war based on how many of their men, women, military and civilian sacrificed themselves willingly and unwillingly, the Russians were far and away the obvious victors.
20 million compared to America’s half million during the war.
The Russians died and killed more Germans than the Americans.
they didn’t join the war until the Russians and Germans had bled themselves dry on the eastern front and the soviets were well on their way to Berlin.
Your timeline is way off here. The US joined the war against Germany on Dec. 11th 1941, less than six months after Germany’s invasion of the USSR which had not yet even stalled out in front of Moscow. The Soviets weren’t “well on their way to Berlin” until late 1944, nearly three years later. Your other points are valid enough that you don’t need to utterly mangle your first one.
