Nothing. It’s election year. If Biden does something, then Harris is going to be asked to up the ante which could be criticized as a running promise that might not be followed up on and cost her points

That’s the only credit I will give Trump. He’s not afraid to throw guarantees and promises around like they’re Halloween candy. Now him following up on them (especially that don’t benefit him or his friends) is a different story…

“I Hate Everyone” by Get Set Go

Peace of mind

Israel is the United States’ 23rd largest trading partner while the United States is Israel’s largest trading partner; two-way trade totaled nearly $50 billion by 2023 300 American mostly technology oriented companies have set up R&D centers in Israel, whilst 650 Israeli technology companies operate in the United States. Israeli American partnerships tend to contribute to relatively niche sectors of the American economy with the effect multiplying positively toward the wider economy.

Bilateral relations have evolved from an initial American policy of sympathy and support for the creation of a Jewish homeland in 1948, to a partnership that links a small but powerful state with a superpower attempting to balance influence against competing interests in the region, namely Russia and its allies. Some analysts maintain that Israel is a particularly strategic ally for the United States, and that relations with the former strengthen the latter’s influence in the Middle East. They argue the military foothold offered by Israel justifies the expense of American military aid, referring to Israel as “America’s aircraft carrier in the Middle East”.

Oh look. More war crimes

I don’t think he was trying to lie. I think he was making a threat

Now, with new and improved conning

Have you ever even watched Star Trek?

The burned croissant appearance is a nice touch

Intention I suppose…

What I mean is anyone can be referred to as an idiot or a moron without isolating a select few. When you say “retard” you’re not only offending a small group of people, you’re offending everyone you call that and the group because you feel those people are lesser.

Don’t call yourself that. And that I disagree because those other words can be used to justify a generalization while “retard” is not a generalized word.

And I’m just going to assume what you said is an apology, but you haven’t been able to figure how to comfortably apologize to people online. Apology accepted

Whoa whoa whoa. Slowdown. I didn’t downvote you. I actually forgot to vote at all

And you’re insinuating that I’m a retard because I downvoted you? Take a day from lemmy friend. We all get worked up and I believe you’re worked up

Ha! I love it. It looks like that old, grumpy cop that’s 3 months from retirement

I’ll take half right

I would argue that it’s not ok due to the context of the word and self-deprication creates negative feedback loops

Words like moron and idiot can be used as generalized insult. They can be offensive, but it doesn’t refer to a certain person or people. Moron and idiot are both defined as being stupid and stupid is defined of lack of intelligence or common sense. The word “retard” refers to people that have mental retardations. The individual person can control being stupid, but they can’t control being mentally retarded.
