I always love the cognitive dissonance people have seeing others hope that a man directly responsible for a metric ton of civilian deaths, succumbing to a painful death, is not ethically correct.
I mean people seem to have zero issue with United Healthcare. Exorbitant Healthcare costs is the equivalent of death, but literally bombing hospitals and refugee camps isn't?
Not to mention that he'll be receiving the latest and greatest in medical aid anyway, so there's a fair chance he'll survive. A lot of geriatric asshat world leaders contracted covid and still lived.
I can't even tell if this is DNC shilling because several people have implied they would treat Trump the same. Wth kind of moral compass are yall following lol?
directly
Sorry, what?
Remind me again — Was Biden Israel's Prime Minister?
It may help to inform your confusion if you start looking at things with a bit more nuance than these stark black-and-white takes. If you want, I can try to walk you down this road.
No no you see his bombs that killed people and ignoring of COVID was good so being happy is bad.
And Trump's bombs that killed people and ignoring of COVID was bad, so being happy is good.
Why yes I am morally consistent and not at all blinded by my love of politicians who don't know I exist or care for me. I'm a good American!!
The comparison of Biden to the UHC CEO is disingenuous, because their motivations were completely different. The CEO did it to maximize profit while Biden did it because he thought it was the right thing to do.
I still completely disagree with Biden’s assessment, but it’s very clear he wasn’t doing it for personal gain.
Biden did it because he thought it was the right thing to do.
Biden did it because it was the best option available to him at that time.
He either played ball with AIPAC or got shut down by them. He didn't have the points to oppose them. It didn't make it right, there is blood on his hands. In hindsight, he never had a chance and could have at least made a showing to stop it.
If he hadn't done it, he would have assuredly lost to Trump, who would do it anyway (as we've seen). He needed to get in to hit the brakes or it would have been for naught anyway. Harris had the same problem, barely enough points to show, AIPAC would have smothered her as well.
I'd like to say that they would definitely have stopped it if AIPAC wasn't standing at their neck with a knife, but I don't know that for sure.
I'd also like to say that if they would have stopped it, we'd all have joined to them and voted our asses off in swing states and made the decision work. But honestly, I have less faith in the US people than I have in the Democrats, and that's saying something.
We're the good guys. It's OK when we do it.
there’s a fair chance he’ll survive.
Don't say stuff like that
He's not directly responsible though. Indirectly, sure, but words have meaning.
How's sending weapons to Israel, when they are incontrovertibly killing civilians, not being directly responsible?
Human being has deadly cancer. Comments section: politics politics politics. I hope he dies in pain. Should have done more.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
He probably got cancer from sitting on his ass for four years, six months of which, he wasted presidential immunity on family members instead of the American people or foiling Trump.
Benchwarmer president, outside of fumbling Afghanistan and letting the world slide further right by ignoring the working class, good job. Here's hoping hell has a seat waiting for him.
The shit that people seem to forget, is that he inherited a broken US government. Entire departments were missing paper trails, documents, and people. Most of his 4 years was spent undoing the damage from Mango Mussolini 1.0 by building a cabinet of competency to go fix things.
Was it glamorous? No. Did the shit democrat party do a single thing to point any of this out? No. Has Mango 2.0 had any success finding this alleged "fraud, waste, and abuse"? Nope. (In fact, after applying the necessary double-speak filter, FWA is what Mango 2.0 is doing.)
Should he have run again? No, he should have honored his original decision not to, and dems should have spent those 4 years fleshing out a proper young candidate.
Why people jump to negative shit so fast, one can only attribute to the negative energy broadcasts from the Mango and the Party of Evil. No decent human should feel it necessary to be a jackass.
Channel that negative energy at those actually harming humans, and everyone's entire existence, like Mango, Muskrat, that yahoo running Israel, and Putein. Oh, and towards educating those narrow-minded people that abstained their votes rather than try to protect their own country from harm. Better yet, get positive and help.
