President Biden told a Democratic lawmaker and members of his Cabinet after the State of the Union address that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they will need to have a ā€œcome-to-Jesus meeting.ā€

Bidenā€™s comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.

      Do you hear them now say shit about the cease fire that was totally going to happen by tomorrow or what ever it was he was saying for weeks?

      As soon as the dates over, they move on. There will be no backpedalling or giving a shit they were wrong, itā€™s MAGA level cultism going on. Theyā€™re always right and infallible, any criticism is Russian shills trying to sow division, &tc.

      Itā€™s ramped up so much on Lemmy the past few weeks, that I feel we mustā€™ve attracted the attention of some astro-turfing. So yay weā€™re in the big league now I guess?

        Yeah itā€™s fucking wild to see. Like yeah I get it, the lesser of two evils yadda yadda. You donā€™t deserve to be a country anymore when youā€™ve reached the point when the lesser of two evils is outpacing Conservatives on oil production and tripping over itself to aid in a blatent genocide. Fuck off with that shit.
