    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

      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.

          People having ‘head canon’ for real world events is just delusion by any other name.

            Gedanken, fiction, satire, being a silly goose, just joshin around… call it what you want. Lol, sure, even delusion if you really want. A brief respite from the burden of reality was always the point.

    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.

        Genocide is not a “single issue”. It’s every issue. No, I will not “come on” and accept it as part of the party platform. If Dems can’t stop themselves supporting an active genocide they’re politically and morally useless.

    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
