Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) ripped into the pro-Palestinian protests roiling college campuses, calling the encampment demonstrations “pup tents” for militant group Hamas.

“Now, of course, it’s a great American value to protest, but I don’t believe living in a pup tent for Hamas is really helpful,” Fetterman said.

"How can you withhold your vote from Biden when you didn't vote against Harry S. Truman or any of the Presidents after him who supported Israel" was a pretty wild take.

"Cutting off trade to Israel could hurt the military-industrial complex! :ohdear:"

"Cutting off trade to Israel could hurt the military-industrial complex! :dance:"

This is a major plank of Joe Biden's campaign. Gunrunning to keep genocides and wars burning across the globe is good for America's economy thanks to the military-indutrial complex. One could call it a war economy.

Biden is sending $61 billion to Ukraine. Much of it will pass through the US economy first.

quote:

President Joe Biden signed the bill Wednesday morning as part of a larger package that will provide additional aid to Israel and the Indo-Pacific as well as possibly ban TikTok in the US next year.

"We're sending Ukraine equipment from our own stockpiles, then we'll replenish those stockpiles with new products made by American companies here in America," the president explained just after signing the bill.

"We are helping Ukraine while at the same time investing in our own industrial base," he added, saying the money will be felt across 40 states.

Hillel was one of only two northwestern u student groups to vote against the NU people's resolution on behalf of palestine. Can you guess the second group?

quote:

Northwestern College Democrats in a statement Saturday afternoon explained its vote in the Associated Student Government Senate on the Northwestern People’s Resolution and gave thoughts on the ongoing encampment on Deering Meadow.

In the 20-2 vote Wednesday on the People’s Resolution, which calls for the University to protect the civil liberties of pro-Palestinian community members and divest from Israeli institutions, NU College Democrats cast one of two votes against signing the resolution.

The statement says the organization believed the language of the resolution “does not achieve its own goals of creating a ‘safe environment for intellectual and political expression.’”

It also explained that — while the organization opposes some actions of the Israeli government’s response to the Oct. 7 attacks, particularly those that have led to civilian suffering and loss of life — it also worries the resolution doesn’t “distinguish between all of Israel and the country’s current leadership.” The organization was also frustrated that the vote was not postponed until after Passover, according to the statement.

Remember how mad they got about Melania's redesign the Rose Garden.

Some froofy formal garden to impress European diplomats that your average lib never cared about in their entire lives and they acted like planting different flowers is an insult to America like she took a dump on the flag.

Even though they'd never be able to tell which was the bad Trumpy Rose Garden if you asked them to pick it out of a lineup of photos of different years.

It was the same with her Christmas display which was an entirely fine Christmas display you’d see in any number of places but for some reason it was the worst Christmas display ever

You're talking about the woman that the libs despised for 1. Being an "illegal immigrant" and 2. Being a "disgraceful whore". Libs believe in nothing but their own material gain and sense of self righteousness, and any cause they "champion" is just PR to be abandoned at the first inconvenience without shame or self reflection.

Out of curiosity I looked up the Rose Garden to see if Biden undid her changes and turns out 1) No, and 2) she repaired years of neglect.

Also the pictures of "omg all the flowers are gone" were disingenuous, there are more roses than before, the pictures were of immature plants right after the renovation.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/14/politics/melania-trump-rose-garden/index.html

quote:

However, the necessity of the overhaul was agreed upon by multiple parties, chiefly the White House groundskeepers and then-White House chief usher Timothy Harleth, as well as Trump. Decades of wear and tear and constant replacement of trees, bushes and plantings to maintain a bountiful exterior had done irreversible damage, according to a 200-plus page report commissioned by the Committee for the Preservation of the White House.

Two of the people involved in the redesign said when the Rose Garden renovation began, there were just 11 actual rose bushes -- now there are more than 200.

"There was so much blight and disease and turnover of plantings that what Beschloss and everyone else thinks was the original garden that was 'destroyed' by Melania [Trump], hadn't been the original garden in literally decades," said this person, who worked closely with the National Park Service on the Rose Garden project.

Essentially, as irrigation issues, shade and root growth tangled and killed many of the plants, the National Park Service -- whose workers tend the White House grounds -- would simply dig up the dead stuff and in its place plant vibrant, colorful, often seasonal flowers and bushes and, occasionally, trees. "It was a constant bait and switch," said the source.

The 10 Bunny Mellon-era crabapple trees -- that Beschloss and others have angrily decried were removed in the 2020 renovation -- had actually been replaced multiple times since 1962 -- there was nothing original about them.

"By the early 2000s, they were just huge. Too big for the space," said a White House senior staffer who is familiar with the removal of the trees. They were replaced with smaller ones, at least twice before last year.

In 2019, for the Australia State Dinner that was held outside in the Rose Garden, new crabapple trees were brought in, says this person, adding, "No one was the wiser."

IIRC the biggest flaw of Melania was that the first woman she'd hired to manage her first lady responsibilities was openly embezzling both the trump campaign and the white house budget and Melania doesn't appear to have been able to get her cut of the loot.
