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.

This message brought to you by the Ministry of Truth.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

And to add something with more substance than straight eye rolling sarcasm, amazing that the non-english speakers loved his performance.

Lets get one of those translators on the ballot.

All of the people who have worked so fervently to suppress and brigade any person who dare say that Biden is unfit for office and that the Democrats need to produce an alternative.

Now the DNC has a shocked pikachu face that he is unfit for office and they need to produce an alternative.

If only we didn't have Blue MAGA boot lickers muddying the water for the past 3 years, we had already gone about the process, and this debate featured someone who was fit for the office.

Trump literally shit his pants on stage (there was a point when his microphone was on where you audibly hear him fill his pamper) while doing nothing but lying and dropping buzz words and Biden STILL resoundingly lost the debate.

Somehow found a way to top Boat-Shark-Electricity with Abortion-Civil Rights-Immigrant murderer.

Fuck.

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.

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.

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.
