I mean, I never said I did. I’m just throwing out another possibility (that has happened before) so that people don’t just walk away taking the meme at face value without engaging with it

He may not have been fully aware of what he was being filmed for. This wouldn’t be the first time a famous actor had been tricked into being part of an anti-science video:
I still argue that a second Trump presidency would lead to worse outcomes for everyone involved, perhaps even the entire global population, than a Harris presidency.
I mean, you’re not wrong, but again, it’s extremely unlikely that Israel/US relations sour SO bad that the US wouldn’t step in and help defend an Israel under assault. Again, it’s theoretically possible but very unlikely. Plus, what you said is true regardless of who wins in November, which was my original point
Theoretically, sure, it’s possible. I think what’s more likely to happen if Trump fucks up is that Israel will just keep up the attack maybe with slightly less support. It’s not like they are a U.S. State that has to abide by a SCOTUS decision; they are (for good and bad) their own sovereign nation and could WOULD MOST LIKELY make the choice to continue their abhorrent actions, regardless of whatever Trump himself might do.
The state of Israel is not a “puppet” of the U.S., only able to make a movement when given a command from the White House; it is closer to Frankenstein’s Monster, fully capable of making its own decisions, and sometimes they choose to do evil things (regardless of how ‘justified’ they tell themselves it is). It’s not a 1-to-1 comparison, but I think it’s a better way to understand the whole situation
I recognize your anger, I am also distraught about Palestine and I wish we had a candidate who was adamant about not giving more aid to Israel. I’m not saying you need to give up on your ideals nor am I telling you to shut up about it. But let’s be real here, as much as we hate it, we only have 2 choices in November, and one of them will cause much MUCH more damage to Palestinians, Americans, and quite possibly the entire globe if he gets elected. We CANNOT let Trump win, so again, as much as I don’t like many of Kamala’s stances, she is undeniably receiving my vote
Ah. Misleading headline then
I’m no expert on international maritime law by ANY means, but how is this not an act of war against Egypt by Russia?
Goddammit you got me
That was a great explanation, thank you
Did you bring the buttfor?
Yeah but he’s got several body doubles. I’m not saying that’s exactly what happened on this visit, but it wouldn’t be impossible (though, admittedly, pretty unlikely)
Honestly, I’m pretty sure I was just drunk wrong when I said Nintendo. I know they started with playing cards and I think I just assumed they dabbled with other stuff but no, I was wrong. I’ll edit my comment
Wait until OP learns about the chaebol system or Nintendo
Edit: I was drunk confusing Nintendo with something it isn’t, I was wrong
Good shit post, 7/10 8/7/22
Edit: (For my fellow Americans, that’s July 8th, not Aug 7)
Look, I don’t like Kamala either and I think continuing to supply weapons is awful, obviously. But she’s the only realistic option at this point. You can still protest the genocide in Gaza AFTER the election (and I fully support you doing so, Hell I might even meet you at one), but look at it this way: if Kamala wins, you at least have a chance to make a change over there, but if Trump wins again, every Palestinian is as good as dead. Do I like either option? No! Do I think our elections are a good system? No! Am I going to vote for Kamala anyway? Yes! Because at this point, the choice is between shooting ourselves in the foot or in the temple

I also watched the Rachel Maddow expose the other day (not my only source, but certainly the most recent)
