I hadn’t put it together before, but Israel is sort of an international case of affluenza - a spoiled, indulged rich kid who ends up a psychopath because daddy’s money has always given them whatever they want and shielded them from ever having to face the consequences of whatever they do.

It’s long past time to cut off their allowance.

And Netanyahu’s obvious provocation strategy is playing out exactly as intended.

Israel is a rogue state.

Can’t starve people to death if other people are allowed to give them food.

Well… yeah. Brazil’s the B in BRICS and Russia’s the R, so Brazil is officially pro-Russia.

And by the bye - China’s the C.

Take note that this is from the government that the MAGA Republicans support.

This, to them, is honor and strength - to invade a sovereign nation, then threaten to drop nuclear bombs on them for daring to fight back.

That’s the world the MAGA Republicans want - one in which they and their allies are fully entitled to do whatever they want to whoever they want, and the only choices others are to be granted are to submit or die.

Passive genocide, according to plan and right on schedule.

If “the blending of opinion with news and the promotion of… propaganda” was actually considered just cause for a low credibility rating, the Jerusalem Post would have one too.

Curiously enough though, it doesn’t.

One would suspect then that MBFC somehow fails to recognize Jerusalem Post’s brazen bias, but in fact they do recognize it, and point it out on their page, though they do notably only sort of mention it in passing, as if it’s not all that important. They also note two failed fact checks, yet still rate it High Credibility and Mostly Factual.

Mondoweiss, meanwhile, receives on its page a highly emotive and hectoring account of what only really amounts to the same bias as the Jerusalem Post but in the opposite direction - pro-Palestinian and anti-zionist instead of anti-Palestinian and pro-zionist - and in spite of no failed fact checks, is ranked as Low Credibility and Mixed Factual.

The only reasonable conclusion is that MBFC is itself biased. Which is, of course, the exact risk one invites when one entrusts a third party to purportedly rate bias.

I can of course block it and likely will, but that doesn’t really go far enough. A purported bias watchdog that is itself biased is rather obviously an abuse of the bot system, and should therefore be banned.

Is there a dictator Trump hasnt publicly fellated?

I can’t think of one…

Since Trump has an unbroken record of bowing and scraping in the presence of autocrats, I think we can safely disregard anything he might say about anyone else’s attitude towards them.

Exactly.

He’s one of the most loathsome pieces of shit to have ever sleazed his way into office anywhere - a foul, noxious, utterly repugnant psychopath who bears personal responsibility for tens of thousands of murders and for the undue suffering of millions. And he gets fucking standing ovations from people who have the gall to consider themselves worthy representatives of the American people.

It’s grotesque. It’s so far removed from human decency or even sanity that it defies any sort of valid explanation. Sincerely, the only conclusion I can reach is that the lunatics are in charge of the asylum - that somehow we’ve ended up with a society led by monsters - by amoral, loathsome, foul wretches who are so clearly depraved that they likely shouldn’t even be allowed out in public unaccompanied, much less entrusted with power.

It’s insane. Literally, completely, staggeringly insane.

Are we actually asking if an utterly vile, demonstrably corrupt, entirely self-serving psychopath who’s overseeing a genocide, a violent incremental land grab and repeated attempts to provoke wars with four different neighbors has “finally lost America?”

Every time I think this timeline couldn’t possibly be more fucked up, it shocks me yet again.
