2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House

Trump's response to this was an all-timer

 

[King Kreole]

jesus christ. everything about the whole post was terrible

biden hasn't even given israel any fukking weapons yet everything israel hit gaza with...was weaponry they already have. "warlord biden" has nothing to do with it. your inability to take responsibility for HAMAS getting those people killed is embarrassing

Yeah I haven't checked out HL in a few years but based on what I recall about your posting it makes sense that we're two ships passing in the night on Biden. I operate on a moral calculus and your primary concern was (is still?) making progressives mad. So when Biden lied about saying he saw footage of beheaded Israeli babies in the service of fanning the flames of Israel's orientalist campaign of extermination, when he consistently promotes the anti-Semitic canard about Israel being the only safe haven for Jews in the world while being the President of the most powerful country on the planet, when he "quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel", when he publicly casts aspersions on the Gaza Health Ministry's count of dead Palestinian civilians to try and whitewash Israel's criminal actions, when he orders two aircraft carriers into the Mediterranean to create a protective shell that allows Israel to act with impunity, when he dismissively responds with "Well, I've seen these before" to being shown pictures of the unfolding genocide by members of the medical community that he tried to pay off with a perfunctory White House meet and greet...I tend to view those as uh bad actions that aid and abet Israel's genocidal campaign. To claim that Biden has "nothing to do with this" is just rank idiocy.

And I don't know why the fukk I would be asked to take responsibility for anything "HAMAS" did or does. Remember, I'm supposed to be a Russian or Slovenian sleeper agent or whatever. But maybe this season I'll be rebranded as a Palestinian Jihadi or or or how about an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp asset

I criticize biden on Israel? But let's not pretend Trump would have been any better . In fact, hey may have had American soldiers helping with military tactics

It's not hard for me to believe in the slightest that Trump could or would have been worse on this. But Biden IS the one doing it. That's just a fact, inconvenient as it is for Biden stans.

 

[King Kreole]

fine, but i'm tired of this blatant lying that biden is funding them, biden is causing it, etc. get mad at israel. biden and congress haven't passed an israel funding deal since the Hamas terrorist attack

You're either playing an idiotic semantic game or badly misinformed. Both require an apology.

The Biden administration once again bypasses Congress on an emergency weapons sale to Israel

Most of Israel’s weapons imports come from the US. Now Biden is rushing even more arms.

The US is also accelerating arms transfers to Israel in response to Hamas’s October 7 attacks that killed 1,200 people and resulted in the kidnapping of more than 200. Last month, President Joe Biden announced from the Oval Office that he would seek “an unprecedented support package for Israel’s defense” of $14.3 billion. “We’re surging additional military assistance,” he added.

The nikka in charge of arms sales at the State Department resigned in protest because he saw culpability for supply to Israel of weapons for their massacres in Gaza.

look, i don't mean to downplay how anyone feels about this conflict. if you're mad that biden didnt stop israel, ok, i guess

but you can't POSSIBLY want donald "finish the job, israel" trump in the white house as a result of this

hey, it's your vote

 

[88m3]

Yup, still happily voting for Biden

 

[Outlaw]

not sure why you can't find this plausible

the economy sucks (no, i don't think so personally, but i have money and no kids), and the president has nothing to do with abortion

Trump directly claims responsibility for overturning roe vs wade. Trump put the justices in place that overturned roe vs wade.

Trump had more of an influence on abortion than he did inheriting Obama’s economy.

You think those polled are nuanced enough at the margins posted above to know that Trump isn’t responsible for these draconian Republican abortion laws being enacted but is responsible for a good economy?

If so then you’re confirming my post by acknowledging an obvious Trump/MAGA bias.

Are you going to acknowledge the fact that you were wrong about the arm sales or try to deflect per usual?

The amount of hubris you display for someone so often wrong is extraordinary, and I don't mean that in a good way.

Never said I did. Don't see what voting for Trump would do to make things better.

i think Hogan wins this election. because he's gonna get tons of suburban voters who are looking forward to crushing trump, but want to moderate some of this bullshyt from the far left. "yeah, i want to beat trump, and i'm also tired of paying 4 dollars for gas"

and he knows exactly how to run this race, he's not some jerkoff like Dr Oz or Herschel Walker. so if Hogan spends the election distancing himself from Trump, he can easily win this. name recognition is tough to surmount

along with manchin's seat, that would be 51-49 Rs
