Anxiety grows inside the White House ahead of Netanyahu’s address to Congress
Anxiety grows inside the White House ahead of Netanyahu’s address to Congress
The thing that kills me is that Bibi did this to Obama when he was president, in an attempt to blow up the Iran nuclear deal.
And Obama just took it.
Biden was the VP for fucks sake when it happened. He doesn't remember that?
None of his advisors from his VP days remember that?
They're just going to let this happen?
The way AIPAC works is that it lobbies the US government to create free money (which requires Congress and Senate approval) and give them to Israel, which in turn allows the AIPAC lobbyists to use those same money to bribe US politicians, completing the circular flow of the US foreign aid funding and coming back to the US politicians’ and their proxies’ pockets.
Of course they’re going to keep letting it happen. In other words, Israel is a money laundering front, and both the Democrats and the Republicans have stakes in it.
The
SpiceIsntreal Aid Must Flow
He doesn’t remember that?
No
They're counting on it. "We have no choice, he backed us into a corner!"
Biden and remembering things is as rare as United States and not selling weapons.
(I'm sorry this post was just ablism)
It's so cool that I used to read about Imperial Japan being sucked into an unwinnable forever war because it wasn't politically expedient to put it's foot down against its own colonial gendarmes and now I get to watch the US do the same in real time.
is this ww2?
This is what West Wing brain gets you. The behind the scenes report about Biden was that he said he was going to help Israel without any consideration for how it would hurt his approval ratings, or whether Netanyahu would even show gratitude, because it was The Right Thing to Do ™. He probably pictured himself as Jed Bartlett and came his slacks while saying that, and now he's finally in a refractory period, sitting in the mess he's made on himself.
Biden's far too old to have ever seen The West Wing. That's an Obama staffer thing. But he for sure is huffing the same civil religion that Andy Sorkin was cooking.
Mr president sir have you seen the West Wing
you bet fat, I was here when we built it!Biden is old enough that he’s one of the people who codified aspects of the civil religion unironically.
I remember him doing a sketch with Julia Louis Dreyfus as Selina Meyer. I wonder who he thought she was in his head.
JFC he's addressing Congress?
Like read the room, dummies. What the fuck does he need to address Congress for?
lmao why, do they not know what's gonna happen? bibi's going to get up there and bitch and moan that there's still money that the US isn't giving Israel and that other countries have said some very very mean things about the genocide they're doing
I think they're only worried about the protest, I've been hearing it could be bigger than any of the DC protests since last October
You’re literally the white house lol. The home of the most powerful person, so they say. You can literally just tell Netanyahu to fuck off or shoot down his plane
hence the idiot plot reference
blue team president smol bean can't do anything it's up to congress but when orange man bad president most powerful man in the world singlehandedly destroying democracy
Is this a common thing? Foreign leaders just get to give special speeches in front of other countries' legislative bodies?
When is Xi going to address Congress
He addressed Australian parliament once so I guess the US Congress just isn't on his radar
What is this, a wedding where the hammered father of the bride is about to give a speech?
Maybe they should try and take out their source of anxiety
