Can I introduce a bill to ship this republikkklown to Gaza?
to do community service in Gaza for six months.
Sooooo... these geniuses are proposing to send people who are already (and justifiably) not very fond of Israel on an actual state-funded six month fact-finding mission to witness the horrors caused by Israel for themselves?
Better make sure they don't have smartphones on them... otherwise, they might just record enough Israeli war crimes to fill three TikToks.
No Mr. Bond, they expect them to die.
So when do we get to start calling these guys nazis? Cause I'm pretty sure that calling to send dissenters to camps, where a concentrated ethnic group is actively having genocide committed against them, is some nazi shit.
I’ve been doing it since 2016
You don't need permission.
I propose a law that says any rep introducing or supporting performative, moronic legislation that wastes my tax dollars gets to have their balls kicked off. Who’s with me?
Now hold on just a minute there. They can have their balls or ovaries kicked off. Inclusivity, y'know.
For sure but in this instance the assholes in question are male. In the name of inclusivity, I'm happy to discuss alternatives for women as I'm not sure ovaries can be kicked off.
Just wait til MTG and BoBo get to the party.
I'm not sure ovaries can be kicked off.
Anything's possible, with enough enthusiasm!
I have a compromise- male, female or nonbinary, we just bash them in the kneecaps with a tire iron.
Apparently, in the very clear minds of Republicans, if you got busted drinking at a college party at any point after Oct 7 2023, that's sUpPoRtInG hAmAs nOw and you deserve to be deported to Gaza.
...Guess RFK's not the only politician with brain worms
Just so people don't panic this is blatantly illegal at least for US citizens.
I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity
Most people don't last long in death camps.
They're basically admitting it's a death camp.
Had to look at the link quite a few times to make sure I didn't eat the onion. These kinds of things are just getting more and more common
Protest against genocide? Straight to genocide. Be against genocide? Believe it or not, straight to genocide.
Wait, will that include Matt Gaetz?
College. Not kindergarten.
What a great use of their time. Vote these chucklefucks out already.
I had to triple check this wasn't an onion article. This seems too stupid and horrible to be real.
I mean, they probably know there's no chance in hell of that bill gaining traction let alone passing (for so many reasons ‡). It's all performance / pandering to their base in an election year.
The scary takeaway should be that's what the Republican base wants to hear.
‡ The fact that you can't just "deport" a citizen to a random country is the least of the things logically wrong with this bill.
Just wait until next year. I wonder if you're post will seem silly or prophetic.
The left need to stop being scared of guns, stop voting for useless gun control measures that only restrict control in their own district and do nothing to reduce crime (meanwhile right wing districts allow you to buy an arsenal of nice ergonomic firearms that can allow even a morbidly obese diabetic to accurately shoot the dick off a fly, delivered to your front door like Amazon), start forming left wing LGBTQIA+ friendly militias and train to protect themselves.
We can do that, or hope the boot lickers and cops don't persecute us. Which is the same as sending hopes and prayers on Facebook.
How can anybody believe that more guns is the only possible solution for everything?
If your only tool is a hammer, every screw starts to look like a nail.
It’s another tool for the toolbox. How can being more prepared with a more diverse set of tools be bad for any situation? Right now the only tool seems to be posting outraged comments on the internet.
This is what you're voting for, people! Never forgive. Never forget. We cannot let this happen.
Remember folks, a protest vote against Biden just puts us one step closer to fuckery like this actually happening.
And a vote for Biden does nothing to change it since Biden is already Gestapo ing the students.
We live in a 2-Party system. Let me guess: You already vote, donate, and volunteer to abolish it, and are leading a grassroots effort for voting reform.... Right!?
You only live in 2 party system because you keep screaming that you live in a 2 party system.
Keep endorsing your own oppression. The perfect slave.
A child's take on game theory.
I wonder what you would say after looking up how many third party candidates successfully gained enough EC votes to be president?
Maybe learn how the world works. It could help you in life, because clearly, you're not even close to reality .
Man who says we need to continue doing what has been done for the last 100 years claims this time it's gonna be different.
This is a clown doing a performance. It's a bunch of hateful horseshit to feed the ever rabid base.
And yet, another clear as day example that this election is literally the fight against fascism.
Lemmy is full of bad faith arguments about both sides, genocide Joe, etc. Always trying to frame it away from the very obvious truth.
The obvious truth is, that the Dems can end this genocide, force Israel to hand over all its war criminals and establish a Palestinian state. and gain all the support for it. The fact that they rather want a genocide to continue shows you that they rather want Trump to win, than to not take AIPAC money.
And they successfully gaslighted the people into believing it is their fault, instead of the fault of the leaders that can end this genocide right fucking now.
