Not a great sign, if she's going to go out of her way cozy up to him it's back to Uncommitted for me. Certainly don't want to, but I guess we'll see if Dems snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with this.
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Netanyahu's address will be presided over by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Ben Cardin in Harris' absence.
Harris' meeting with Netanyahu is separate from his expected meeting with Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden who stepped aside as candidate for the 2024 elections and endorsed Harris, her aide said. Biden is recovering from COVID.
Politico reported that Netanyahu also requested an in-person meeting with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump but the former president has yet to agree.
It's fucking insane how little money it's taken Israel to buy off our entire government.
He should be handed over for war crimes the second he sets foot on US soil, but there's no chance of that happening
In my head canon he wasn’t even invited. He just heard Biden was out and now he thinks he’s gotta come here and do whatever combo of shmoozing and/or threatening it takes to make sure his genocidal gravy train keeps flowing
genocidal gravy train
This is a great summary of what's going on
....
He's speaking in front of Congress, he was literally invited by the majority of our government...
He shouldn't be, but pretending he wasn't isn't helping. We should be focusing on replacing every politician that invited him, not pretending the problem doesn't exist
That’s why I said “In my head canon..” I know it’s not true, and I’m not pretending it is. It’s satire.
Well, TBH, he's meeting with Trump also.

Boo.
You’re off to a decent start Harris, don’t fuck this up by backing a genocidal Nazi regime.
This is a test for her. Seeing how she meets and responds to a world leader who Americans have an extremely divided opinion about. It's a tight rope walk.
well. Lets wait till after they meet. She might surprise us.
The only surprise I could accept is if she suplexes him through the resolute desk.
I could see it.
I was thinking something like getting him deported to someplace part of the ICC.
she probably will be "diplomatic", but I don't think she's nearly as much a simp as biden is.
