Literally the first thing that popped into my mind!

I love sending this to my friends that use iPhones after Apple announcements.

[–] TommySoda 77 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He's not even the fucking president yet. But at the same time, I know people will believe this which is unfortunate.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer 60 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The US has a long history of Republican future presidents pulling shit like this. Iran hostage crisis, Vietnam peace negotiations, etc.

[–] Pavidus 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As a matter of fact, yesterday I heard someone at work say, "Look at how much he's done and he's not even president yet."

[–] AbidanYre 65 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He did manage to get a sex trafficker to resign from Congress.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How many republicans house members does he need to nominate for a democratic majority

[–] wjrii 8 points 1 month ago

I feel reasonably confident there was a list that had to be scrapped at the very last moment, once someone actually did that math.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Start naming it the Biden ceasefire agreement. Don't let them take ownership.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Nah, let Trump own it, because Israel is definitely going to break it anyway.

[–] clutchtwopointzero 1 points 1 month ago

Biden is so soft on this that he will let this slide

[–] makyo 39 points 1 month ago

I’ve got some rage reserved for the Biden team right now. They do actually do some good things but are heinously miserable at communicating it so of course the MAGA thugs fill that vacuum with their own ‘info’.

[–] Xanis 28 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's on us to fight this shit. Get angry and stay that way. Go on Twitter and other platforms to directly challenge this assertion. Give them not a single inch without having to fight for it.

[–] pixxelkick 41 points 1 month ago

Don't go on Twitter... that actively funds musk.

Go everywhere but Twitter.

Do keep calling it Twitter though.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Isnt there better things to go fight about? Biden getting cred for a deal in the middle east is really the last thing on my mind.

We should be breaking ties with the democrats entirely. They have sold us to the wolves and for 8 years now shown they cannot deliver a decisive win against the rise of authoritarianism.

[–] Xanis 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We must not give them an inch wherever and whenever we can. Fight back with clear communication and facts. Challenge constantly. Party doesn't matter. Remember that many people who voted for Trump did so legitimately not understanding what it would mean. Time to educate because people will start wanting to listen

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie 2 points 1 month ago

We should strike, trump going to want to claim credit for the economy biden built. We should strike and tear it all down immediately so he actually has to build a working one rather than slowly dismantling it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Amazing! Every word ~~that you just said~~ in your last two sentances was wrong!

They did so because they want to hurt people. People will get hurt.

Educate them? If they could be educated, they wouldnt be republican.

What do you think the democrats were doing over the last 8 years? Twiddling their thumbs? They have been trying to educate people. Nonstop. But it doesnt help because these people do not want to be educated. They want to be shepherded around by a strong man who can make the "right" decisions for them. They want Trump to take control. There is no deeper thought, no platform, no ideology. They arent seeking to gain anything from his presidency. His presidency is not going to convert any trumpers because hes doing exactly what they wanted him to do: hurt people.

[–] Xanis 1 points 1 month ago

Not all who voted for him voted FOR Trump. I agree that MAGA is likely never going to be convinced. The rest of them can be and they should be the ones we're willing to talk to.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

No Twitter. Go on Facebook! Old people hate sane opinions.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Trump team can say anything they want, but with their historical record, quite clearly, it doesn't need to contain facts OR truth.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

There's a saying that history is written by the victors. Be careful with thinking too far in the future.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The expanded war and genocide with extra spice was Netanyahu's way of ensuring Trump win. This was widely announced in Israel as the "inauguration gift" for Trump. Stop thinking the DNC lost the election. The most genocidal Israel supporter won. They fulfilled their mission purpose, and get to fundraise over project 2025 now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Nobody forced Biden to go along with it, or Harris to promise to continue the exact same policies. This is the DNC's making. The DNC failed their voters, not the other way around. Maybe next time try promising to do popular things, and follow through on the things you promised last time.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

The organizational mission of the DNC is to fundraise. Since Obama especially, and earlier, zionist sources of fundraising have dominated. Winning is secondary to both fundraising and Israel first rule over America. The hopey/changey stuff wins. The fear of Trump is good at scamming fundraising, and helping make sure he was GOP candidate made sense before Oct 7th, but after it was purely Netanyahu's decision of who would win. Media and fundraising followed Netanyahu, and being as genocidal, and disrespectful to peace/ceasefires as possible, ensured disgust with human Americans that tend to support DNC. DNC, can choose to lose even as they fundraise pretending otherwise. Politics is always a giant slushfund of middle people happy to get paid.

The opposition party in America needs to oppose Israel first rule over America. It is a mistake to trust the DNC to assume that role.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Its not really a "win" for anybody. It has a 60 day timeframe, which not-at-all-coincidentally aligns to expire right as Biden leaves office. Then Israel will have the greenlight to pursue whichever strategy they wish.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Which could be true in the same way Reagan freed the Iranian hostages.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

The Orange Turd doing what he does best.

[–] raspberriesareyummy 8 points 1 month ago

Does it matter anymore before Nazi-America starts rewriting history books anyways?

[–] julysfire 8 points 1 month ago

Knew this would happen to moment it was announced

[–] mhague 6 points 1 month ago

I read about the ceasefire being broken before I read about Trump taking credit... heh
