Absolutely hilarious to me that Kamala's two most famous quotes, "You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you," and "What can be, unburdened by what has been." Are just two completely mutually exclusive statements.

⚡️BON APPÉTIT! MAGGOTS RELEASED ON THE ISRAELI PM NETANYAHU’S TABLE

Protesters disrupted the Watergate Hotel last night, targeting Netanyahu, Israeli Mossad agents, and the Secret Service. Mealworms and maggots were placed on banquet tables, while crickets were released on multiple floors. Fire alarms were triggered for over 30 minutes, creating chaos to prevent rest before Netanyahu's appearance before Congress.

Genuinely insane that Netanyahu can just give a speech on the Palestinian people that is the 2024 version of a “White Man’s Burden” and people will still argue that Israel is not an apartheid state. This MF literally was talking about “Israel’s vision of Palestine” like ok well who said that you get to have a vision on Palestine? That’s like… supposed to not be your place to have a say if you aren’t an apartheid state.

The New Yorker got caught publishing quotes from two fake "Hezbollah field commander" whose comments read to me like they were coming from hasbara account.

President Biden had just finished trying to persuade a group of congressional Democrats to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill when Nancy Pelosi, then the House speaker, took the microphone.

In 30 minutes of remarks on Capitol Hill, Biden had spoken disjointedly and failed to make a concrete ask of lawmakers, according to Democrats in the room. After he left, a visibly frustrated Pelosi told the group she would articulate what Biden had been trying to say, one lawmaker said.

“It was the first time I remember people pretty jarred by what they had seen,” recalled Rep. Dean Phillips (D., Minn.), who would go on to mount an unsuccessful primary challenge against the president.

That was October 2021. That month was the last time Biden met with the House Democratic caucus on the Hill regarding legislation.

They knew. They've known for YEARS.

In case you're wondering how cooked we are with climate change and deforestation, here's a recent satellite photograph of South America. Notice anything that's missing?

Oh that's right half the Amazon rainforest is gone... Just look at the Western half of Brazil, you can see the boundaries for protected areas as they are still forested. Just islands of forest.

I must say that I just opened TikTok for the first time in like 2 weeks and all I’m getting is Kamala Kamala Kamala coconut tree this coconut tree that

Feel like I’m losing it. This is the person who couldn’t win a single fucking delegate IN HER HOME STATE and now I’m expected to believe that everyone loves her all of a sudden? Holy shit this is a brand new level of consent manufacturing

This man only puts on a suit for one country.

I'm on a little comment run here but fuck it.

Gotta say that we on the left have a lot to learn from the sheer impressive power that the DNC have when it comes to consolidation when the serious shit happens. Any issue on the left is debated and derailed by loser energy, while the DNC machine can just snap into overdrive mode where literally every single voice all fall in line when there is a serious lib matter. Remember how hard they consolidated for Biden pre-Super Tuesday in 2020, or how the discussion around Kamala went from "can she do it" to "I'll die for her" in literal hours in the last three days. Yeah of course we don't have the media tools for that, but it just pains me to see how hard the "ackshually" loser energy derails any leftist momentum these days, while libs all deeply know that their candidate is a loser but still delude themselves into actually fully believing.

Senate Dems are apparently scrambling to figure out who will preside over Netanyahu's speech and be forever in the back of the pictures of the genocidaire speaking in the Senate. There have been previous reports that Harris and her team do not approve of the blank check that Biden gave Bibi, but who knows what that actually means in practice.

They should fucking make Schumer do it. He signed the letter inviting Bibi.

two weeks passed, no one gives a shit about trump's ear anymore

Israel’s national anthem loudly jeered before Olympic soccer match against Mali

Israel’s national anthem was loudly jeered before its soccer team kicked off play at the Paris Olympics against Mali on Wednesday night.

When it came to Israel’s anthem, boos and whistles immediately rang out. The stadium speaker system playing the anthems then got notably louder in what seemed like an effort to drown out the jeers.

This is just the appetizer… I’m hoping that Israel gets booed hard during the opening ceremonies. Though I strongly suspect the broadcasters are expecting this and there will be shenanigans to ensure the broadcast will barely register any booing at all, no matter how loud it actually gets.

Netanyahu abusing the US's policy of free laundry for foreign diplomats:

Over the years, the Israeli leader has developed a reputation among the staff at the U.S. president’s guesthouse for bringing special cargo on his trips to Washington: bags and suitcases full of dirty laundry, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

At first I thought it was good news that the Nazis think JD Vance is a race traitor, so they're likely to not vote for Trump and stay home, but then I remembered, not voting is the same as voting for Trump, so they're still voting for Trump.

"There are 92 elections that we monitor, I would say that the electoral process in Venezuela is the best in the world" - Jimmy Carter, former president of the USA.

Can't wait for the US to refuse to believe in the Carter Center results again.

It's plainly obvious what's going on in Gaza right now is a genocide because westerners aren't currently dying or shriveling up from Genocide Withdrawal stemming from their physiological dependence on committing a genocide at any given moment.

Israeli news reporting that the US has given the go-ahead to Israel for an operation against Hezbollah
If by "operation" they mean an invasion, it's hard to see it as anything but the end of Israel. Maybe I'm being optimistic, but fascists are not known for successful two front wars

I don't think anyone even mentioned it but yesterday Israel killed over 200 people

hear me out

China got the first gold of the Olympics and their drip is insane

The Olympics are such a farce, the double standards are ridiculous. Russia gets banned for the invasion of Ukraine yet there is no question that Isn'trael be allowed to compete while actively committing genocide.

Though of course this isn't new, Amerikkka has been allowed to compete despite everything they have done all over the world. Just another case of these "international events" being a case of

seeing the entire legislature today applauding a genocidaire nazi shithead broke something in me (yeah it shouldn't have been there in the first place)

slowest draw in the west, but yay

NYT:

She starts by praising Biden. “Joe Biden’s legacy of accomplishments over the past three years is unmatched in modern history,” Harris says. “Yes, you may clap,” she tells the crowd.

From the Economist:

Several rival Palestinian groups, including Fatah and Hamas, signed a declaration to form a unity government, ending years of division. China brokered the negotiations. Fatah, which controls the West Bank’s Palestinian Authority, was thrown out of Gaza by Hamas in 2007. The agreement paves the way for creating a government for the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

So that unity deal some folks were posting about actually happened. Amazing that China could pull this off, kudos to them for hosting. Hamas and Fatah back together again, that's the power of the disastrous operation in Gaza. Israel has never been more cooked.

Palestinian Factions Sign Beijing Declaration on Ending Division and Strengthening Palestinian National Unity 2024-07-23 18:49

On July 23, 2024, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi attended in Beijing the closing ceremony of the reconciliation talks of Palestinian factions and witnessed the signing of the Beijing Declaration on Ending Division and Strengthening Palestinian National Unity by 14 Palestinian factions.

In his remarks, Wang Yi noted that since entering the new era, President Xi Jinping has put forward proposals and propositions on addressing the Palestinian question, contributing Chinese wisdom and solution for addressing the question. Now, 14 Palestinian factions are gathering in Beijing with the greater good of their nation in mind. This is an important historical moment in the Palestinian liberation cause. China commends the reconciliation efforts made by all the factions, and congratulates them on the success of the Beijing dialogue and the signing of the Beijing Declaration.

Wang Yi pointed out that only when Palestinian factions speak as one can the voice of justice be loud and clear, and only when they join hands and march forward shoulder to shoulder can they succeed in their national liberation cause. The most important consensus from the Beijing talks is to achieve the reconciliation and unity among the 14 factions; the core outcome is the affirmation of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the sole legitimate representative of all Palestinian people; the biggest highlight is the agreement on establishing an interim government of national reconciliation focusing on the post-conflict reconstruction of Gaza; and the strongest call is for truly establishing an independent State of Palestine in accordance with relevant U.N. resolutions. The key to the Palestinian reconciliation process is to bolster confidence, keep to the right direction, and make incremental progress. Only by making continuous efforts to build consensus and put it into practice can the reconciliation process yield more and more substantive progress and greater unity. Reconciliation is the internal affair of Palestinian factions, and cannot happen without international support. On the path toward reconciliation, China shares the same direction and destination with Arab and Islamic countries.

Wang Yi noted that the Palestinian question is at the core of the Middle East issue. China never has any selfish interests on the Palestinian question. China was among the first countries to recognize the PLO and the State of Palestine. China all along firmly supports the Palestinian people in restoring their legitimate national rights. We value fairness and advocate for justice. At present, the Gaza conflict drags on, its spillovers continue to spread, and multiple regional conflicts are interconnected. To help get out of the current conflict and predicament, China proposes a three-step initiative:

The first step is to achieve comprehensive, lasting and sustainable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible, and ensure access to humanitarian aid and rescue on the ground. The international community should build more synergy for ending the hostilities and establishing a ceasefire.

The second step is to make joint efforts toward post-conflict governance of Gaza under the principle of “Palestinians governing Palestine.” Gaza is an inseparable, integral part of Palestine. Restarting post-conflict reconstruction as soon as possible is an urgent priority. The international community needs to support Palestinian factions in establishing an interim national consensus government and realizing effective management of Gaza and the West Bank.

The third step is to help Palestine become a full member state of the U.N. and get down to implementing the two-State solution. It is important to support the convening of a broad-based, more authoritative, and more effective international peace conference to work out a timetable and road map for the two-State solution.

Ceasefire and humanitarian rescue are pressing priorities. “Palestinians governing Palestine” is the basic principle for the post-conflict governance of Gaza. The two-State solution is the fundamental way forward. The international community should support the parties in taking the three steps in real earnest.

Wang Yi noted that intra-Palestinian reconciliation will bring hope and a future to the Palestinian people. It is an important step toward resolving the Palestinian question and achieving peace and stability in the Middle East. Unwavering efforts must be continually made in this direction. China sincerely hopes that Palestinian factions will achieve reconciliation and, on that basis, realize independent statehood at an early date. We will strengthen communication and coordination with the relevant parties and make joint efforts for the implementation of the Beijing Declaration.

Head of the Fatah delegation Mr. Mahmoud al-Aloul and head of the Hamas delegation Mr. Musa Abu Marzouk delivered remarks on behalf of the Palestinian factions. They noted that China holds an important place in the heart of Palestinian people, and expressed sincere appreciation for President Xi Jinping and China’s unchanging, firm support and selfless assistance to Palestine over a long period of time. They spoke highly of China’s acting as a responsible major country and upholding justice for Palestine in international fora. They expressed deep appreciation for China’s strong support for intra-Palestinian dialogue and reconciliation. They stated their readiness to implement the consensus, strengthen unity among factions, advance the reconciliation process, and work for an early solution to the question of Palestine.

Diplomatic envoys to China or their representatives from Egypt, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Russia and Türkiye as well as representatives from 14 main Palestinian factions attended the closing ceremony.

LONG LIVE THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA AND LONG LIVE XI JINPING

How NYT chooses to report on fatah/hamas agreement:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/23/world/middleeast/fatah-hamas-china-statement.html

“What happened in China isn’t significant,” said Jehad Harb, an analyst of Palestinian affairs. “There aren’t any indications that Hamas and Fatah intend to end the split between them.”

“These statements aren’t worth the ink needed to write them,” said Abd Al-Rahman Basem al-Masri, 25, a resident of Deir al Balah in central Gaza. “We’ve seen these things before and we’ve lost hope in them.”

Great example of how media tries to control narratives.

In congress the devil gave his speach but outside he was burned in effigy along with the flags from this pole which is pictured with the Palestinian flags which replaced that trash

In response to the flag burning the pigs fired tear gas, sorry I don't have any pictures of the burning

Also the parrot for peace says free Palestine

I don’t ask for much, but the Israeli Olympic delegation getting heartily booed at the opening ceremonies would be cathartic.

Just compare between China fostering unity among the Palestinian factions and the US applauding a Zionist ghoul.

My Paraguayan brothers just demolished "Israel" 4-2 in Olympic Games football. "Israel" has the right to defend it's goalposts (they just don't do it very well)

Death to "Israel". Even in something quite meaningless like olympic games football they deserve to lose. As long as they exist, they shouldn't be able to enjoy anything.

Don’t blame me for Genocide Kamala, I supported Genocide Gavin.

China’s central government has approved Shanghai’s plan to build 29 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity, as the city works to cut emissions to meet Beijing’s ambitious climate targets.

Once the deep sea project is complete, the financial and industrial hub will receive about 100 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity every year, according to local newspaper Xinmin Evening News. That’s more than half of Shanghai’s annual power consumption. The city is also set to receive green power from Inner Mongolia via a state-backed, long-distance grid, the paper reported, without providing details for either project.

China is leading the global push for renewable energy, with its offshore wind capacity set to triple to 129 gigawatts by 2030, according to BloombergNEF. Fierce prices wars between domestic manufacturers have made equipment much cheaper than in the rest of the world, driving market demand for clean energy. The price of offshore wind power even dipped below that of coal-generated electricity last month in another project off Shanghai.

it's pretty funny when China, the "authoritarian communist no food no freedom" country, is doing the whole corporations-competing-driving-down-prices thing better than Western countries whose economies now consist of a grand total of about 6-7 monopoly corporations, which, if anything, do the opposite and conspire to increase prices among themselves

I cannot believe that people think Biden stepped aside amicably just because he didn't call Harris a removed in his resignation letter. A week ago reporters said he was old-man raging against the people who had turned against him and "betrayed him," boo fucking hoo, and now in forty eight hours libs have completely whitewashed him into some selfless hero with an astounding political IQ.

As if he wasn't lying in bed with a fever mumbling about Gerald Ford when his advisors told him that the DNC was gonna cut off all funding and handed him that pre-written letter to sign.

Maduro once again refers to Milei as a “goddamn miscreant fascist Nazi”. During a campaign event this Sunday in Nueva Esparta, the official candidate for the presidential elections asked his followers in this region if they want "what is happening in Argentina to happen in Venezuela."

I just fucking can't with this shit, if the election takes place without her clarifying her position on Gaza and she doesn't catch some major mainstream criticism for it, I will have lost all hope

After the fall of King Brandon the Feeble-minded, the nobles supporting Lady Kamala the Awkward hastened to secure her claim to the Throne of Skulls. Success followed swiftly, for when word spread that she would inherit the throne, no noble or sage in the realm dared support any other pretender. They feared being on the losing side and fall from the grace of the future queen. Soon, even the High Priest of Change, ever careful not to reveal his machinations prematurely, made movements to bless her ascension.

As the banners bearing the sigil of the House of Brandon were quietly pulled down from the Great White Hall and replaced with those bearing the chained child sigil of the House of Kamala, all was set for Lady Kamala the Awkward to ride to the City of Wind for her coronation. Nobles from all corners of the realm were travelling there to do obeisance and kiss her ring.

In these dire times, priests and sages, desperate for hope, uttered fervent prayers, convincing themselves and the people that Kamala the Awkward would be the champion to vanquish the hordes of the Orange Troll King. Many a priest, in their desperation, believed the heavens were answering their prayers and promising victory.

Yet, a pall of unease lingered and whispers of doubt and uncertainty still permeated the air, casting shadows over the pomp and ceremony. Only the passage of time would tell if these hopes were in vain or if the threads of fate had indeed been rewoven in favor of the realm.
