FuglyDuck, to politics in House passes GOP bill to sanction ICC as it seeks arrest warrant for Netanyahu
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

This bill? 42 democrats apparently voted to protect a foreign genocidal maniac.

how much you wanna bet they also have their names appear on this list

(edit: yeah. I just checked they all do. it’s possible every congress person does, but, uhm, after a cursory search the average is around 100k in contributions from pro-israeli sources. I’m not even going to be bothering to check the republicans that voted yea.)

Treczoks, to politics in House passes GOP bill to sanction ICC as it seeks arrest warrant for Netanyahu

Instead of supporting a court that has the goal of prosecuting war crimes and crimes against humanity like they themselves did after 1945, they are now boycotting such courts. I wonder what made them change their position 180 degrees. …

I am so jealous of someone who didn’t realize Trump was a complete asshole until now.

Imagine how peaceful their lives are. I bet it feels like walking through thick, warm clouds. You can vaguely see shapes and hear muffled sounds but none of it is important enough to trouble yourself about.

Just a fuzzy, happy brain, floating through the universe.

So jealous.

Dkarma,

Never be jealous of idiocy. It’s literally like watching Idiocracy and being like oh man wouldn’t that be so great,…

GO AWAY!! BATIN!!!

todd_bonzalez,

These kinds of stupid people are usually uneducated and have shit jobs, have failed relationships and marriages, have been disowned by their children and so on.

Don’t be jealous. Ignorance isn’t always as blissful as people make it seem.

Only 1 in 6 voters would change their mind about a convicted fraudster becoming the most powerful person in the country? And only after ANOTHER guilty verdict?

nwilz,

Wow you can read!

Hazzia,

To be fair, a guilty verdict wouldn’t change my mind because I wasn’t going to vote for him anyway

1/6 voters is enough to swing it. The Texas split was 50-45. 1/6 is about 15%. .85*50=42.5 so (going with the wild assumption that Texas would have split along the same divide) if 1 in every 6 Trump supporters stay home just in Texas because of this it’s the entire election.

OneWomanCreamTeam,

I mean, it certainly hasn’t changed my mind: I was never going to vote for him in the first place

themeatbridge,

I think that includes the voters who won’t vote for him regardless. Like me. Whatever the jury finds, I’m not going to vote for Donald Trump.

Technically, this would be the first guilty verdict.

The other verdicts were in civil court, so “liable”, not “guilty”. ;)

meco03211,

I still like to pepper in “guilty” every once in a while. Sometimes a little Trumpette will bite and try to correct it to “liable”. I then confirm that they knowingly support someone liable for sexual assault and defend the distinction as if it makes it better.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Not just sexual assault, the judge later corrected that to rape.

“Adjuducated Rapist Donald Trump”. ;)

Well, it won’t change my mind about voting for Biden either way. There’s no way I will vote for Trump.

xmunk,

Hmm, did the poll mention whether Sudan Collins was part of the one in six?

xmunk,

Well, one in two weren’t going to vote for him anyways so it’s closer to effectively being one in three which lines up pretty well with the observation that 70% (about 35% on either side) of the electorate are uninformed voters who just vote based on party and don’t really care who the candidate is.

Now, when people vote to try and elect an absolute wankglaze to office, we can be sure that they’re voting for their favorite sports team and will never stop.

But people voting for the least-worse option, how do we know they’re voting for teams and not voting in a marginally-less-horrific platform after careful consideration and a bit of a cry?

I have one team I’ll never vote for because they just keep proving themselves dicks, but I do like to consider the options while I can still convince myself there is a choice between what’s left after that.

RampantParanoia2365,

I mean, there’s a lot more than 6 people, right? This would mean 2 people at the very least. My math may be off.

If allowing over 300,000 people to die by a manageable pandemic didn't change their minds.

If two impeachments didn't change their minds.

If the campaign trail consisting of yelling about babbling nonsense didn't change their minds.

If being induced to get involved in an insurrection where now many members are finding themselves jailed didn't change their minds.

What makes anyone think a guilty verdict would?

Dkarma,

Guilty is extremely cut and dry. All the BS and fish gallops in the world can’t wipe the word convicted felon from trump.

kromem,

Eventually only a single straw can break a camel’s back.

That frankly depends on your social status and how literally you want to define the word “eat.”

What the top secret documents Putin's Sock Puppet stole and later sold from Mar-a-Lago and his latest comments about a Unified Reich? Fuck Trump and Trumpturds.

corsicanguppy,

Trump’s pet judge slow-rolled that case until she could stall it.

One in six. Incredible so few care but tbh, it's more than I guessed.

This whole thing of calling people on the phone and shouting questions like this at the ones of them who answer, and then reporting the result as if it was news relevant to how the election will turn out, is absurd.

It’s literally on par with calling people and asking them if they’re planning to get the flu this year, and then reporting that as a public health study.
