I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.

    The “pager attack” killed 42 people, including two children and two healthcare workers, while wounding another 2,800 people. The attacks targeted public areas, including cars, streets, and supermarkets, and many of the wounded suffered eye, hand, and brain injuries. Many survivors needed surgery, and some victims went blind or had to have their limbs amputated. One of the attacks killed an 11-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, along with a nurse. At a funeral for some victims, another electronic device attack was carried out by Israel, wounding more people. It’s unknown how many Hezbollah operatives the attack actually killed.

    “That was a great operation,” Trump reportedly told Netanyahu, after being given the morbid gift.

    I can not believe this man was voted in. I can not believe this time line is real.

      He wasn’t voted in. Elon manipulated the voting system for trumps gain. Trump even said it himself “Elon knows voting machines”. They have taken over our country and are dismantling it piece by piece. The question is, how do we stop these fucks?

      Believe it or not the Democrats had machinations themselves that they had been working on a long time, and was very nasty. Rumor had it, Kamala would have no problem finalizing those plans, which is why she was ushered in without a primary and Joe was forced out. BOTH PARTIES HAVE GOT TO GO. The democrats enabled this level of power abuse because they wanted the power themselves, nothing was codified into law because they thought they would have the power. They are just as guilty of these current administrations actions because they themselves refuse to limit the powers and reach of branches of the government, they only ever extend them… And they did it because they had plans for that power, but you don’t need to believe that, the evidence they allowed the power to exist is elected and likely xitting on truth right now, that’s all you really need to believe, Democrats enabled this.

      Kaboom is lurking on the conservation Lemmy. Probably re-evaluating his life choices. Or most likely not, because that requires self-reflection.

    As a Canadian, It’s crazy how easy these two played the American left by starting a genocidal war and having musk and the oligarchs use all propaganda machines to turn it into the Democrats fault. And the left just ate it up despite how blatantly obvious it was. The left splintered and had a “no, YOU’RE the fake leftist!” Argument among each other while the right unified and laughed at you guys

      I mean it seems more because Biden’s administration was hugely pro-Israel and consistently the destruction of Gaza and the death of Palestinians, and Harris started plainly her policy was the same. Harris ran on a campaign of telling parts of the left that they didn’t want their vote and courted mythical moderate Republicans.

      And I voted for Harris, but this was by far a loss due to the Democrats abandonment of their base and what polling clearly showed people wanted change, irrational or not, just something different. Running on a same-as-Biden platform was a massive blunder.

    One day, decades from now, people will read about these men in the same way we read about Mussolini and Hitler. They’ll be reading with bated breath about the atrocities they committed and we’ll be asked by our grandchildren how was it possible to even happen. Hopefully they’ll live in a world where none of this would be possible and they won’t comprehend the evil and cruelty that we got to witness, they won’t be able to understand how so many millions cheered for these monsters. Come to think of it, I don’t understand why so many millions cheer for them today.

      Go figure… Maybe those who stayed home and didnt vote made a conscious choice for “certain, quick, unpleasant end” instead of “slow, uncertain end”.

    That’s fucking macabre… And since it’s from Israel, there’s probably a bug in the pager too…

    IF they had verified each individual target before detonating it could have been the single operation with the highest success rate for hitting actual militants and the lowest civillian casualties out of everything Israel has done lately, but instead they just detonated like a thousand pagers and pissed off Lebanon immediately after a US Diplomat came by to criticize them for escalating tensions in Lebanon.

    Actually, it still might be. Pretty low bar.

    I wonder if Trump’s Gold Apollo will blow up, too.

      That last bit was my thought too, I ain’t taking a pager from that dude. Gold or otherwise.
