Wow thank you for speaking up when you hold no power anymore with checks clock 2 years late

[-] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 62 points 1 week ago

Matthew Miller also said if he was "outside of government" he would have preferred a "better candidate" for the 2024 presidential election than Mr Biden.

If it helps, you see, he was “in government” at the time so he had no choice but to be a shit eating sycophant who told the president whatever he thought he wanted to hear. Had he been outside government, and free from the shackles of his own cowardice, he would have preferred a better candidate. A patriot if ever I saw one.

Legit heroes resigned. This coward should be put in stocks and subsequently run out of public life.

"Just following orders" is very famously not a defense for being complicit in a genocide

[-] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

America: home of the cowards.

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 66 points 1 week ago

Everyone covering for Biden enabled the return of trump. Brokenass country

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 41 points 1 week ago

Oh, now you're saying something. That's fucking rich.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 week ago

Oh, he was saying things then too. He was one of the main spokespeople defending the genocide.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

Man admits complicity in war crimes.

[-] elbucho@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

It's like saying that H. H. Holmes has without doubt broken some laws.

[-] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

These people must live under rocks…

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 week ago

Which ones? Cause Miller seemed to laugh with glee during press conferences

[-] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

None, I was taking the piss. As I say, I’m assuming that they were benefitting somehow and no longer are. Point is they didn’t wake up yesterday morning and go “you know what, that Gaza situation is a bit fucked”.

[-] bishbosh@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Or the more likely case, they know exactly what they are doing and are complicit.

[-] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Exactly. I’m assuming they were benefitting somehow, and no longer are…or something along those lines.

[-] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Thanks, matt.

[-] mspencer712@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

Notice the distraction, pulling you away from a current harm and looking instead at an opportunity to blame for a past mistake.

Let’s reopen this criticism of these past mistakes later ok?

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Mistake :  an action, decision, or judgment that produces an unwanted or unintentional result

Biden and he knew very well what they was doing. That's not a mistake

I am sure that you agree that the statue of limitation do not apply to someone who committed a crime or assisted the killer. So why do you oppose condemning Biden and Miller and not forget what they did?

Let’s reopen this criticism of these past mistakes later ok? Don't you mean never when did any American president been brought to justice for war crimes ?

[-] mspencer712@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Are people dying right now? That’s an immediate need, if so.

Are they in power right now? Campaigning for reelection right now? That’s an immediate need if so.

Please don’t demonize “let’s focus on immediate needs” as I feel that’s a reasonable thing to want.

[-] TotallynotJessica 1 points 1 week ago

The immediate need is to not allow these weak willed genocide enablers anywhere near power again. We need the position of those connected to this administration to be in pile of pig manure, so that way we get people who aren't absolute fucking cowards doing less than the bare minimum to maintain their own system.

People are dying right now that Biden's administration could've saved, but because the cause long precedes the effect, we need to be looking farther ahead. Weak liberals will be complicit at best, and monsters at worst, so we need to work every day until the next somewhat fair election to make their brand weak.

When the fascists begin to bleed themselves dry, the left must lead the charge, not the money loving liberals. If we don't lay that groundwork before most can envision the fight, we'll have feudalists ushering in a "return to normalcy" with broad support from the public.

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Sure war criminals can be free with no accountability when they no longer in power. What a terrible logic. We will demonize them as much as we want, you can't stop that.

Maybe if your presidents was held accountable like Bush , trump wouldn't feel free to do all the terrible thing he does.

Will you forgive trump and forget his crimes when he is out?

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Probably because it does nothing now while children are burning to death.

It should definitely not be forgotten... but it also shouldn't be our focus. Because if you focus on the inconsequential you get the situation we've constantly been in the last... well probably at least as long as the US has been a thing.

If this were more like reconstruction after the US civil war, where the damage has been done and we're trying to recover from it, it might be the same. Where forgiving past mistakes causes massive consequences that are still being felt. We're not at that point yet, if we ever manage to get there.

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 8 points 1 week ago

We can focus on more than one thing . There is no mistake here, a mistake is an unintentional action that have bad consequences. the USA been deliberately ignoring and helping Israel terrorism, occupation and oppression of Palestinians for decades

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Sure, but what we are going to do about it now matters far more than what we're going to do with the people no longer in a position to do anything about it.

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 8 points 1 week ago

if was criminals don't face justice, at least it they should be remembered for what they did so history don't forget

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

There's sure gonna be a lot of them if we spend all our time wringing our hands about what they've done in the past instead of preventing it in the future!

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 7 points 1 week ago

You can't prevent anything from happening in the future if you refuse to keep wrong doing in the past relevant

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You can't learn from the past if you spend too much time living in it.

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 4 points 1 week ago

I spend my time in past, present and future all of them are interconnected

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Not a single person in the world can fix all issues all at once. Most people can barely keep one important thing in their mind at a time. We have too many things to worry about to obsess about a group of people who have almost no power anymore. If the time comes when the pendulum swings back in their direction, sure, it's worth making it an issue... but the world is on fire and you seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time buying gasoline.

Stop trying to fight every battle all at once, and most importantly stop trying to get everyone else to care about every battle you're obsessed with fighting. They'll just end up treating it like everything else, too much to deal with.

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 3 points 1 week ago
[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You're right, if you can't boil an argument down to a tweet it's clearly not worth listening to :)

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

That headline's lack of punctuation made me think Mr. M. M. Israel committed war crimes in Gaza. I went to the article to see what it is he could have done there as a former Biden official that would qualify.

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 5 points 1 week ago

Covering war crimes make yoy a war criminal since you are directly complicit

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Who is “Matthew Miller Israel” and what were his alleged crimes?

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 week ago

State Department Spokesman. Not a policy maker, but he was definitely a significant person involved in providing cover for Israel's atrocities.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Oh, definitely. But the title of the article makes it sound like a person named “Matthew Miller Israel” was personally in gaza committing war crimes. A modicum of punctuation could have solved it.

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 4 points 1 week ago

I used the autofill function of lemmy without verifiying. That explain the lack of ponctuation.

As for his war crimes, is covering israelis war crimes which make him complicit aka also a war criminal under international law

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It’s not your fault. The original article’s title uses very awkward and unfortunate grammar.
