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 ācome-to-Jesus meeting.ā
Bidenās 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.
Yeah. They want a strong man to hurt all of the people that the alt-right media has told them are the cause of their problems. Onlyā¦
ā¦is the exact opposite of true (heās plastic, but angry plastic instead of bland plastic). Which brings me toā¦
I donāt think he is, though. I donāt even think he knows what that would look like. I donāt think he likes giving speeches, he just likes applause. I donāt think he wants to be president (and I donāt think he did in 2016 or 2020 either), heās just terrified of whatāll happen if heās not in the limelight anymore. I donāt think he likes Coca-Cola or Big Macs, I think he just does whatever will make the person/people in front of him say how great he is. I donāt think he has a self outside of what other people tell him it is.
Incidentally, thatās why he has a quarter million indictments.
Oh, I wasnāt saying he was honest. He presents himself as smart and rich, which is flaming bullshit. I think some of his followers believe him about that, but thatās not why they like him; there are plenty of genuinely smart and rich people they despise.
The awful neoliberal suit-wearing jerks are one kind of asshole whoās hurting their financial futures and the communities their kids have to live in, and they know that. But absolutely youāre right; Trump is something much, much worse and much more dark, and theyāre making a terrifying mistake by supporting him just because he is (genuinely, and with real authenticity) not one of those people.
