Correction.

The US does not benefit from it. The increasingly fascist and plutocratic ruling class benefits from it.

We, the tax payers, are the ones being robbed.

The money goes from our pockets, gets laundered through Israel. The Israelies bribe our politicians with it, then enrich the military contractors with what's left.

Palestinians get slaughtered. Tax payers get bled like stuck pigs. The police become more militarized. The party distinction lessens. Then, when Gaza has been successfully ethnically cleansed, a "completely unforeseen terrorist attack" (that was totally not committed by the Pentagon) will happen in America, and Iran will be blamed.

A major population of the children of dutiful bootlickers between the ages 18 and 23 will go off to war and ravage Iran, Syria, Lebanon... the entire Middle East, taking their direct orders from the IDF. Israel will expand and will continue to thrive as the luxury epicenter for the uber-rich and powerful, protected by the Iron Dome surrounded with American youth and warships.

At the same time, American Palestinians will be identified as domestic terrorists, along with anyone who spoke up in Palestine's defense. They will be round up, pushed out of major population centers, and will face the same treatment Gaza got. Not only will there be the taxes>Israel>politician payoff>weapons pay-loop, but the taxes>Pentagon>politician payoff>weapons pay-loop will be fired back up full force.

Then on to the next race whose country of genetic origin gives America/Israel any reason.

It is all SO painfully see-through and boring.

It is all that happens over and over and over again. For the entire span of human history.

An Idolitized leader takes a flesh wound from a sniper rifle, and less than 10 seconds later his followers do the nationalist chant.

Sounds like textbook fascism to me.

Nice pic dude.

My point was the whole being desensitized to gunfire and someone being shot right in front of you, and responding to not only a public shooting, but an assassination attempt with "USA! USA! USA!" like they were at fucking Medieval Times eating a chicken with their bare hands and drinking diet coke and the green knight just took a flail to the bread basket.

I have learned when to hesitate before I ingest media, and I'm still assessing the situation.

For either eventuality, we (Americans) are all so screwed, and the rest of the world is on notice.

The real thing to report on is how while (aparently, because initial reports said no crowd deaths, then Fox reported a crowd death, and now everyone is reporting a crowd death), noone ran. They just kinda mulled around, then started chanting "USA. USA. USA."

Behold gentlemen. Fascism manifest.

If only The Plan for the New America Century got this kind of attention before 9/11.

Answered the questions correctly?

I can hardly even make out words.

What I could pick out, translated to (as) coherent (as possible) English:

"A young woman who just was murdered, and he went to the funeral, and the idea she was murdered by an immigrant coming in, they talk about that. Here's the deal, there's a lot of young women being raped by their in-laws, by their spouses, brothers and sisters. I, wah, jus, jusjusjus ridiculous. You can do nothing about it. And they try to arrest them when they go across state lines."

In what world do you live in where that is "correctly answering" a question about abortion?

You really need to stop sabotaging the Democrat party with your Blue MAGA horse-shit.

And he will do it.

He has to figure out this thing with a boat, a shark, and a battery...

But once he works that one out, China will be paying our taxes.

Using kbin.social and kbin.earth simultaneously while Ernest works out his health issues/figures out how to grow his team to cover while he focuses on his health.

I definitely prefer kbin.social, but it is definitely suffering while the captain is addressing other matters.

And I asked him, I said to him, and noone had asked him that question, I asked him, and he said noone had ever asked him, I said to him, would you stay on the boat, the boat is sinking, so the boat is under water, but there's a shark, but the boat is sinking, and there is a battery, so I asked him, and noone had ever asked him, I asked him, would you stay on the boat, the boat that is under water, and there is a battery, so there is electric, I asked him, and there is a shark, I asked him, and he said nobody had ever asked him, I asked him do you jump off the boat? The boats underwater, but there's a boat, and there is electricity, but there's a shark, so I asked him, and he said he had never been asked this before, I asked him, do you jump off the boat that is now under water? Do you stay on the?... Do you stay in the boat and get eaten by the shark? Because the boat is under... do you stay on the boat, that's under water, and get eaten by the shark? Or do you get electrocuted?

He said he didn't know. He said noone had ever asked him that.

That's enough about the boat.

-Based on a real speech Trump gave at a rally that resulted in everyone leaving early.

You go no contact.

The end.

One of my favorite thing about Age being one of the protected classes is that they literally wrote it as "you can't discriminate by age UNLESS THE PERSON IS TOO YOUNG.

They took the legislation against age discrimination and said only they were allowed to discriminate.

Melt it down and cast it the metal into a buttplug.
