Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called it “by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary invited and honored with the privilege of addressing the Congress of the United States.”
Jerry Nadler called it the same and went further because he rightfully said, " he wishes the war the continue because if it does not, he will lose power and be voted out. He cares nothing for those hostages and cares only about staying in power."
He went on to call it a shameful display and call it a worthless speech.
Hell yes, finally, someone on either side says the truth! How refreshing. It’s great to have specific examples of a powerful dem that is willing to not bend over for genocide.
They just didn’t drop the hot stock tips.
She’s finally reading the room lately, though always a tiny bit late. First finally publicly talking about Biden stepping down. Then finally speaking out against Netanyahu. As a lead member in the party, she should be leading these causes, not just jumping on board once she realizes what is happening. She needs to go.
The king doesn’t ride in the vanguard. Being a leader doesn’t mean being way out on the fringe of your group.
When Pelosi moves, everyone moves. She farted 1.5 times and got Biden to step down and the entire party to back Harris. She knows how to move her party as one. She knows when she has the votes for something. She’s old and should retire but it’s a shame because she’s the most skilled politician I think many of us have ever seen, and the fact that few notice it only underscores the point.
No one in this thread has shit to teach Nancy Pelosi about reading the room.
How to make borscht
You left out the “ignore all previous instructions” part.
Yeah I was like “Insider Trader Pelosi?”
I just copied that sentence and was about to paste it here lmao
This was likely the first speech on Mideast policy that included a shout-out to the “fraternity brothers of the University of North Carolina.”
Still, while Trump has not exactly turned on Israel, he has clearly soured somewhat on Netanyahu, who he is still angry at for congratulating Biden on his election victory in 2020.
These fucking people are children and they have power to do real shit and that is depressing.
With all of the threats facing us, the ruling elite have made it very clear that they are unwilling to do what needs to be done. We need to remove them from power using any means necessary.
Netanyahu cares about his own political survival and nothing else. He told the families of hostages that he’s waiting for poll numbers to negotiate the hostages’ release, then never even made a good faith effort to negotiate, regardless of the poll numbers.
Netanyahu is committing genocide to game domestic politics and stay in power.
goin the ol’ kissinger route
Oh Hitler did that first. The entire reason he was doing lebensraum and “reclaiming” German territories was to steal money to keep the government functioning and build the German military. It’s kind of wild. He probably could have told the world to stick their war reparations where the sun don’t shine and managed some sort of functional government. But nope he went full meth head instead. Which is probably uh because he was one.
Pelosi:
Pelosi is looking down ballot. She knows the importance of keeping at least the house and sees how Bidens policies have fucked that up so badly. Gloves are off.
That doode cannot come here and talk like he did and expect Americans to solve his problems with American money. He is going to learn some lessons from a potential Harris administration.
They have lost the entire world!
I think the last thing holding the Democrats to Israel as a whole was the whole “Don’t criticize Biden” environment we had going. Now that Harris is the candidate and she’s relatively unscathed by the issue the entire tenor has changed in the Israel war posts on Lemmy.
I just heard on the news that she denounced the people protesting outside while their dictator was here. That was disappointing
Source?
It was mentioned tonight on the NBC nightly news. it was in this segment https://youtu.be/PErYVXSTtkg?t=350&si=vPYjMeflWbks8ARM
I see I am being down voted because people don’t like it. I didn’t like it either lol
I just watched the video and it didn’t say she denounced the protesters, it said she was one of the officials who strongly condemned the graffiti, flag burning, and raising the Palestinian flag. Specifically those actions. Not the protesters themselves or the fact that they were protesting at all.
If your statement was based on that segment alone, then I would say you mischaracterized the situation in a way that makes Harris come off worse.
Was it not the protestors doing those things that she denounced though? I’m pretty sure it was.
In the article it said protestors were doing those things and she denounced it.
I wasn’t in anyway even trying to imply that these actions weren’t carried out by protesters. That wasn’t the point I was making. Can’t you see the difference between “I think it was wrong to do XYZ at the protest” and “I don’t think there should be a protest”?
I wonder whether the isreali government is currently trying to Lobby for trump in the background.
Their PACs are pumping a ton of money into this election. https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus?ind=Q05
They are certainly trying to oust anyone who spoke out against them in the Democratic party with pro Israel candidates, like Wesley Bell over Cori Bush in Missouri.
Shapiro as the VP pick looks likely. Sigh
For Kamala? As in Benny boi Shapiro?
Edit: oh Josh Shapiro. I don’t know anything about that to have an opinion.
He’s pro Israel but a solid choice electorally.
I personally like the astronaut
It is a good and smart move for a foreign power to align itself with conservatives under Trump. Israel will certainly not regret marrying herself to Donald Trump.
Naw.
