Israel’s bombing of the Qatari capital Doha on Tuesday marked the sixth country the powerful U.S. ally attacked so far this year.
U.S. and Israeli officials told CNN and other outlets on Tuesday that Israel — which the U.S. arms to the tune of billions of dollars each year — gave President Donald Trump’s administration advance warning before carrying out the strike. The attack drew ire from progressive members of Congress, who told The Intercept that the U.S. must stop arming Israel as it accelerates attacks around the globe.
“In the past two years, Israel has bombed nation after nation with no repurcussions—all while conducting a genocide and manufacturing a famine in Gaza using U.S. taxpayer dollars,” said Rep. Summer Lee, D-Penn. “There must be accountability for Israel’s unchecked power and destabilization of the region. The United States must implement an arms embargo immediately.”
Israel has carried out tens of thousands of attacks in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Yemen, and now Qatar since the October 7 Hamas attacks, according to data from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project. In the last three days, Israel bombed three residential buildings in Gaza City and dropped leaflets ordering residents to evacuate.
Trying to make the point that voting for Harris would have bought us some time from the insane turd circus.
We still have the same job to promote progressive views and oust the corporatists but now every single thing is under attack and we have to hear about it all goddamned day. People here who were so loud and proud about not voting at all and the system’s so messed up - Yeah No Shit and Thanks For Fucking Us All, Assholes.
Was going for your trying to say purging people from party meaning killing them instead of them being either removed.
Two things, 1 you can’t complain when people don’t think the system works after said system specifically says don’t vote for us and 2 this is how usa politics have always been. Not for the people but corporations.
But yeah only blame the voters, really good work
Do the corporations actually cast the ballots that determine the course of the country?
I don’t think they do, do they?
we can’t blame the corporations from their decades of PR, it’s only the voters fault. THE PARTY CAN ONLY BE FAILED NEVER FAIL.
I love how every fucking time it’s the voters who constantly get screwed by both parties fault getting blamed. Thank you for continuing that shit trend
It’s not rocket science - voters choose what they want. They chose not to vote against trump.
Were they bedeviled by propaganda from russia? Yes. Doesn’t change the mechanism. Humans vote, their choices are, to some extent, reflected.
We can agree on the myriad ways the electoral system needs changing, but by that first Tuesday in November it’s time to vote.
Last November it was a choice of Harris or trump. I heard so much shit about Harris, I just want to say, “hey. You got what you wanted. You let trump win.” You see this literal fascism rolling out? You did not do the one concrete practical thing you could do to stop it. (Unless you voted Harris which, okay. Fair enough). And yeah - I blame them for that.
Ikr, Pelosi said it was from China!
Again long post on this is why the party was failed, it can never be failed.
Harris, dems and Biden made massive mistakes and miscalculations after barely being trump last time then doing almost nothing for the country. This is why they lost.
They did nothing to inspire they’d actually be better than trump or at least not able to convince enough people they’d be better.
But yeah keep just blaming people
Barely? They won by a huge percentage.
I don’t know what country you live in, but in America they did some really good things. Many good things. Not that I’m going to get that list for you again.
What they didn’t do was disown all relationships with Israel and that’s all the GRU needed to get 60% of us to stay home and fart our way to fascism.
Let’s now return to your apparent idyll in trumptopia.
“Sure, they were committing a Holocaust, but they made the trains run on time!”
Huge in popular vote but as we live in a country where land means more than people in presidental elections it was super close

No please list his accomplishments. It’s fun seeing what others consider them.
They totally helped people which is why he won in a landslide
You may google them yourself and then explain how they didn’t help.
Healthcare, unions, student loan forgiveness, and a huge move to renewables and cutting down big oil among them. Are you actually a progressive or do the things that matter to you not apply anywhere in all of it?
