Biden was going to piss off some group of people due to how polarizing the conflict is. I always thought he was doing pretty well even when it began.

His only sore spot seems to come from giving a lot of support to Israel, as they ARE one of our allies, and for us to just ignore that would look bad to our other allies. Especially after having a terrorist attack on their country by the Hamas. Geopolitics being complex beast.

But he has been advocating for civilian safety and making sure the water doesn't get turned off......

Can't say I would've done much better or anyone else here.

I know many are calling for a "permanent" ceasefire........but there was already a ceasefire before this. So, we would just be waiting until it gets "broken" again. Probably by another Hamas attack. Who ARE terrorists and want Israel eliminated altogether.

Let's not also forget if Trump was in charge then this situation would've been handled a lot less gracefully. Or even spiral out of control.

They keep voting till there's another speaker. EVEN IF IT TAKES DAYS OR WEEKS OR LONGER!

[-] snipgan@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago

At this point, a shutdown is all but guaranteed

The question is now, how long until democrats come into play?

Oe better yet, who will be house speaker next week? I don't see McCarthy squeaking his way out of this.

Sorry to hear she died. Still in agreement with others she should've retired years ago, but when you get to an old enough age your routine and job is what really keeps you going. My grandparents were the same way.

Looks like Newsom gets to pick a successor.

Mitch McConnel on the other hand.....better keep an eye on him.

There is no indoctrination, so this shit article can take a hike.

Funny thing is the counter protester outnumbered these hate crazed freaks by quite a lot.

If you are talking about blatantly kiddie porn, then I absolutely agree with you.

Though it is not a new trend, not particularly an unpopular opinion, or limited to just cringe.

If it’s just cutsie or shortstack type character, then to each their own.

Loli stuff has always been a black hole when it comes to any anime discussion, so I applaud your bravery in breaching the subject.

Same.

Although it's becoming close I register for Democrats cause of how bad things have gotten with Republicans.
They only got culture wars and conspiracy theories and downright malice now.

Helps me? NO. Tax cuts for the rich, taxes for me, and forcing their religion down my throat.

Helps others? NO. Targeting social security, restricted voting, and a whole lot of pulling up bootstraps

Helps kids? NO. Child labor laws weakened, free school lunched targeted, and don't say gay.

Helps nature? NO. Climate change "isn't real!!!", drill baby drill no matter what, and hostility to any "alternative/clean" solutions.

What future is there in that? Just a regressive and bastardization of the past. For what?!?! Just to try to bring back the "Good old days?"

With Dems there is at least a future, as troubled and imperfect as it might be. With Reps there isn't

I just want a hug!

Every time they see him, his poll numbers stagnate or drop. The big state he focused on, New Hampshire, has Trump beating him almost 2 to 1.

He’s flaming out like Scott Walker did and it is glorious.

[-] snipgan@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

Not only on top of being homophobic/transphobic this is cringe as hell. Oh god, who is this for besides terminally online incels? I don’t see this helping sway the older demographic at all….

[-] snipgan@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago

Welp. This makes it pretty clear. And he will still somehow win the Republican primary…..disgusting.
