Of course, anyone who questions it is an antisemite. Ridiculous.
- Biden has now drawn a line in the sand.
  
  Assume this is sarcasm, or do you mean he really really really really means it this time?
Biden COULD have just not said anything on this one. Instead he doubles down on his support for the genocidal maniac, Netanyahu, that is dragging him down in the polls.
- He's completely irrational on this one, which is pretty scary honestly. It feels like some Roman Emperor shit where everyone is just stuck looking on in horror as he lets the senate house burn down or whatever because he doesn't want to admit it's on fire.
I fully agree with the ICC, no one is above the law, especially when your killing innocent people for a stupid war. Remember, all wars start with lies. However, I will still choose the Democrats over the fucked up Government of Putin candidates, who lead us down a path of destruction.
This man does not want to win and he said many times he is a proud Zionist. There is no changing his mind.
- People who think the term Zionist is somehow bad reminds me of Republicans who think the word Liberal is somehow bad.
  
  People who don't realize that both liberals and zionists have a lot of imperialism to be ashamed of remind me of the US education system.
  
  "liberal" is significantly less specific in its implications, both in terms of modern day parlance and historical roots, than "zionist"
  
  Zionism by definition is a nationalist ideology.
  
  Love me, I'm a liberal
Sadly I view this as a “net zero” situation. Trump would also abandon Palestine along with Ukraine and Taiwan, so in this instance it doesn’t matter who you end up voting for, but getting Trump has many, many more negatives. So I hope people aren’t using this as their hill to die on for their vote otherwise it puts us in a much worse situation.
- They are. They aren’t very smart
Slams. It's always slams.
- "ElectricTrombone Slams thehill.com over the overuse of slams."
  
  Oh no. It's slams all the way down.
- Welcome to the jam
You know who is outrageous right now?
That’s you Biden.
Is there going to be arrest warrants for Putin. It’s going to be a long list
- A warrant for Netanyahu would be a good idea even if there were some other people at large that we should also be arresting.
  But also, in this case Putin already has an ICC warrant. It's caused some issues in the past because e.g. he couldn't attend a diplomatic meeting in South Africa and there was some question about, if he just shows up anyway, are they really going to arrest him as they're required to do, and then it'll be a real shit storm.
  From what I remember, he blinked and decided not to show up.
- There already is one for Putin and at least one subordinate.
Let's go Brandon!
The only outrageous thing is that Biden's name isn't on the list, too
- For?
  
  For putting his shoes on first and socks on second
