It's not at all cute, the right wing is a huge embarrassment to itself continually too, especially their asinine leader.

It's people like you whining that we don't have yet another Neocon as president that starts a new war once the CIA is done with a false flag operation.

1 attack on a Saudi Arabian oil facility blamed on Iran, 2 limpet mine attacks blamed on Iran. Here, you want a laugh? See the comments section of this "proof" that Iran attacked oil tankers with limpet mines:

www.youtube.com/embed/WFcjzKAcC-c

Read the comments. You are the one that still believes this BS and want to go to yet another war.

Our previous 4 "presidential" meat puppets would have gone to war by now. Clinton would have, so would Mitt Romney, John McCain, John Kerry, Al Gore, and Bob Dole. They aren't real presidents and they weren't running for that position - they were running for the position of pretend marionette. It was the "republican base" that first realized that our przdidents are all meat puppets, and took a shot at an unknown, who has so far, kept us out of war and openly points out our intelligence agencies are liars because they obviously are.

I would have never guessed it in 2004, but it turns out the Republican base was the first to wake up to the utter corruption of the government, the intelligence agencies, the leadership of both parties, and the propaganda that laughably calls itself "a free press". They realize this - you don't apparently. You will in time, but it might take some additional time. People like you should have woken up first - find that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq yet, that many "liberals" PROPERLY protested over?

jazz_music says

It won’t even embarrass them

that explains left a lot of the left:

why wearing rainbows as an adult is not embarrassing to them.
why left pretends that looking for hand outs is not embarrassing, but somehow work is embarrassing.
why men on the left dress like women without understanding why they should be embarrassed.
why left thinks its not embarrassing to ask for others to pay for them.
why being a whiny baby is not embarrassing.
why men fucking men is not embarrassed.
why they think identity politics don't make them look dumb.
why being a worthless pedophile is just a gender identity and is not emberassing.

this list can go really far, honestly all the loser behavior on the left up there to list.

That begs the question, is Trump for real? Or just the reality show actor with a history of womanizing hired to lose to Hillary?

If Trump isn't for real, well, at least he's no worse than Hillary Clinton and hasn't begun a new war.

Some jerkoff carnival barker didn't make it to the Oval Office without some support though. I just don't know if the support was from the same people that selected that disgusting murderous pig Hillary Clinton.

The right, on the other hand, now has carte blanche to come up with whatever pithy and biting meme they like without worrying about the PC police at all, or about contradicting a web of lies.

No

The glaring difference is the left wing memes are not lies and fantasies for the sake of dry humor.

Look at them!

Self-congratulatory fantasies for being such a sucker for billions of dollars yearly for right-wing media designed to make you feel proud to neutralize yourself as an effective member of an electorate. Laugh that off!!!

It's not at all cute, the right wing is a huge embarrassment to itself continually too, especially their asinine leader.

Esteemed patrick.net user jazz, left wing memes are for the most part just sadly parroted talking points written up by our owners. No creativity, no willingness to push boundaries and make people a bit uncomfortable.

Most of the media is utterly owned by the political left, not the right. Fox News barely counts as journalism, sadly.

The left, could CERTAINLY meme. You just don't remember it.











It's not left or right, it's whose lying and who isn't. I am fully aware that Obama was lying. So was Bush. This isn't a left and right issue. Obama was a clone of Bush with a great tan after a diction class. He wasn't at all different.

The people who unreasonably hate Trump and are complaining that Clinton, that warmonger, isn't president - they are wrong. Those people can't meme, because they are lying. That's the only reason they can't.

The only reason you laugh at the memes of the current right is because you have a dark sense of humor. It's absolutely monstrous what the left is currently doing. They tried to do a coup - but it is not the left, it's the establishment. If Jeb Bush was prezdident, there would have been no coup attempt, because Jeb Bush is completely controlled. He was a puppet. Just as Mitt Romney was, just like everybody else that was running on the Republican ticket in 2016.

:

You should side with the Palestinians or at least have some sympathy for them.

Israel is a nuclear power with a military and an airforce that kills more people in a single airstrike than Gaza and the West Bank does in a decade. The Palestinians have rocks, maybe the occasional bomb, and a pathetic "rocket" that is literally powered by urea. They lost their property and are continuing to lose it.

When is the last time the West bank attempted to fight back against Israel in any way? A decade and 1/2, yet Israel continues to expand settlements in the West Bank. The Palestinians are being driven out, and those that can't be driven out will be placed on reservations or simply exterminated. It's clear Israel plans to take over the entire West Bank and probably Gaza as well. This can be the only possible reason why Israel won't draw their borders. If Israel wants a two state solution, they have the military power to do it. They want a one state solution, controlled by a solid Jewish majority. The Palestinians just happened to be there - they are in their way.

If a section of the United States was declared to be the new Israel, and they began to drive out the people of the area, would you fault the people driven out for resisting? This isn't a conflict over religion, it's a conflict over land. The Palestinians aren't being unreasonable, but it's clear they are going to lose. Any of them who are like me, would have given up decades ago. The Palestinians will lose. I'm not a fanatic. I know when I'm fighting a lost cause, what remains - doesn't realize it.

And just to be super clear, we are told Israeli settlements (which are EXCLUSIVELY Jewish) are there for protection. Look at where they are located:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:West_Bank_Access_Restrictions.pdf

They aren't buffer zones, they are in all over the West Bank and will expand in time to take it all up. Israel's government lies when they say they want a 2 state solution. They've been lying for 70 years.

You're forgetting the bus bombings, random stabbings, pizzeria detonations, hijackings, etc. of the past 50 years.

The reward for Israel withdrawing from Gaza unilaterally and making it, for the first time in 2000 years, 100% Jew Free, was constant rocket attacks.

Fakestinians didn't lose property. The vast majority were landless peasants sharecropping for Turkish landlords, and most of the rest came to Israel to work for the large number of works Jews built in the early 20th Century. ALL Travelers to 19th Century Israel reported an almost totally depopulated wasteland, including no less than Mark Twain.

Palestinian before 1960 referred to Jews only. "Palestinians" called themselves Arabs. The real Arabs, the Bedouin, support Israel, in fact the 3rd Colonel was a Bedouin, the true Desert, Camel Riding Arabs that Town Arabs hate.

Palestinians were given 3/4 of the Mandate of Palestine - it's called Jordan. The other 1/4 the Jews offered to split in half again, meaning the Jews would only get 1/8th of Palestine, but the Arabs rejected and invaded from every side.



Losing wars has consequences, as does rejecting every single Peace deal in history.

If Spaniards were firing urea-rockets into France, day after day after day, nobody would blame France for dropping a bomb every few weeks on a launch site.

And finally, strength discrepancy != justice. If 1 Knife wielding Thug is shot 5 times by 20 cops, it doesn't mean the cops are bad because they have 9mm Pistols.

I have plenty of pictures of all the Pizzerias, malls, cell phones, leather jackets, and abundant dates, candies, and knafeh on sale in Gaza, the alleged Open Air Prison, if you want. It even had a water park, until Palestinian Islamic Jihad bombed it because they didn't like mixed sex bathing.

richwicks says

And just to be super clear, we are told Israeli settlements (which are EXCLUSIVELY Jewish) are there for protection. Look at where they are located:

All settlements in Gaza were disbanded and the occupants unilaterally removed - by Israel.

The settlements in the West Bank are areas where Jews have proven Title, areas where the Arab Legion expelled Jews from in 1948. It is a reconquest of stolen territory.

it is, after all, Jew-rusalem, not Arabsalem, in the province of Jew-dea, not Arab-dea. Arab Supremacists continue to occupy Phoenicia, Kurdistan, Egypt (Copts), and the Maghreb (Berbers). God bless the Druze if Arabs ever conquer Israel, that Mountain People depend on Israel so they aren't exterminated. The Bah'hai religion also, which is banned in almost all Arab Countries, including Iraq.

Palestine is a Roman Neologism, imposed on Israel after a revolt, just like Dacia was renamed "Roman-ia" after a revolt from that province by the Roman Empire.

Arabs are imperialist colonizers from the Hedjaz, like everywhere else North of Jeddah.

Fakestinians are also the only people in the world not treated like all other refugees, they have their own unique Refugee Agency and are not subject to the same rules as other refugees.

For example, a Hutu refugee living in Kenya and obtaining Kenyan residency is no longer considered a refugee. An Arab who was kicked out of Israel after waging guerilla warfare from his village is a refugee, as is his children and grandchildren, even if they are Citizens of Jordan and the UK and own property in both countries.

For example, both Rashida Taliban and Linda Cockroach are refugees, as is the latter's children, though they have never set foot in Fakestine, and indeed her parents weren't even born in there, but in Jordan.

The vile Carter let all the Cockroaches in. They all got cash from the UN and Jordan, while getting US Taxpayer student aid and welfare both, they took over the married student housing and used the cash grants from the UN to buy houses while living free on campus on US taxpayer money while getting UN cash on top of US Welfare. That is why so many "Impoverished" Palestinians that came in the late 70s own 3-4 properties.

No Karen Tribesman born in Thailand, to somebody born in India, is considered still a refugee from Burma, even when they have Thai and US citizenship, owning property in both Bangkok and LA - but Palestinians are never-ending refugees.

Finally, the Oppressed Palestinians are some of the most obese people in the world.

In fact, the average Palestinian woman is 30% more likely to be fat than an American woman.

Stunning, when you consider the average Palestinian is under 30 years old.

KGB Code Name Aref, an Egyptian Socialist born in Cairo, was selected to form the PLO, KGB Code Name "Big Farm" in 1964.

This Egyptian native-to-Cairo's name? Yassir Arafat.

The PLO recognized Egypt's total control of Gaza and Jordan's control of the West Bank & Jerusalem in their founding documents. That is, the Palestinians claiming that West Bank is theirs, they did not recognize in 1964 - they want all of Israel, to make sure Islam is not humiliated by having to return land to Jews.

Jordan only dropped their claim to the West Bank as being part and parcel of Jordan in 1982. From annexation in 1947, through it's loss in 1967, right up to the early 80s, Jordan did NOT consider the West Bank to belong to a "Palestinian Nation". Because Jordan IS the Palestinian Arab Nation.

The PFLP was "Little Farm".

TL;DR: After abandoning the Cuba BS, then the Venezuela BS, the Left's last outpost of fake oppression is Fakestine.

The Fucking ROMANS kicked them out in 70 AD. An EXTINCT EMPIRE did this, and most of the people of Israel aren't Middle Eastern at all. They're white.

My family fled the Nazi invasion of Poland, we're not going back knocking on a door and kicking out who lives there now.

They're just a bunch of bigots. All Zionism is the KKK for Jewish people. That's it. Here's what Zionism is according to the Jewish virtual library. I'm replacing the word "Jew" with the word "white" in the first few paragraphs, also lands, and Zionism with KKK. Read it.

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/a-definition-of-zionism

The term “KKK” was coined in 1890 by Nathan Birnbaum.

Its general definition means the national movement for the return of the White people to their homeland and the resumption of White sovereignty in the Land of South Africa.

Since the establishment of the State of South Africa in 1948, KKK has come to include the movement for the development of the State of South Africa and the protection of the White nation in South Africa through support for the South Africa Defense Forces.

From inception, KKK advocated tangible as well as spiritual aims. Whites of all persuasions - left, right, religious and secular - formed the Zionist movement and worked together toward its goals.

Disagreements in philosophy led to rifts in the Zionist movement over the years, and a number of separate forms emerged. Notably: Political KKK; Religious KKK; Socialist KKK and Territorial KKK.

It's obviously a racist movement because it's based on RACE. You're just too cowardly and beaten down to point it out. I'm not.

When is the last time the West Bank attacked Israel? 25 years ago maybe?

Then why do Israeli settlements in the West Bank continue to expand then?

Because Israel is going to exterminate them, slowly, but they will.

richwicks says

you're defending a bunch of Jewish supremacists.

Virtually every country in the Middle East is ruled by ethnic supremacists. Sad fact of life in that backward and violent part of the world.

Radical Islam of the Sunni and Shia variety have ethnically cleansed virtually every last Jew, Christian, Baha'i, Yazidi and Hindu from the Region since WWII.

Nearly half a million Jews were kicked out of Iran, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Yemen, Morocco after the UN Partition. Where were these Jewish Arabs supposed to go? Brooklyn half a world away?

Yet you only vent your spleen about the one tiny country full of Jews (many who are refugees from other Arab countries and the Holocaust) who proudly refuse to be driven into the sea unlike all of the other religious minorities abused by the Muslim world?

richwicks says

When is the last time the West Bank attacked Israel? 25 years ago maybe?

Who does Israel occupy the West Bank from?

There was never an Arab Palestinian state in all of history, so they are not occupied from Palestine. The only independent entity ever to control the "West Bank" - itself a Jordanian name for what is Judea and Samaria, based on being west of the Dan River - was Israel. Every other time it's been a province of Romans, Byzantines, Caliphates, British, and Turks. Never an independent Arab Muslim state, never once, no no.

Jordan annexed it in 1947 but doesn't want the West Bank back, and Egypt doesn't want Gaza back.

75% of Palestine was given to the Arabs in the 1920s by the British, unilaterally. Then the Jews offered half of the remaining 25%, which was rejected and followed hours later with a massive attack by 12 Arab Armies and recent Arab immigrants conducting Guerilla warfare.

richwicks says

As reliable as it our "news" has always been.

The term "Palestinian" never referred to Arabs until about 1960 when the KGB began using it to delegitimize the Arab State. The Arabs called themselves, "Arabs".

Before 1960, Palestinian was another way of saying "Israeli Jew" - even French Encyclopedias called Israeli Jews "Palestinians" and use the term Arabs for well, "Arabs".

When Israeli Jewish reconquistas played a soccer friendly with Australia, they were called "Palestinians".

Finally, there is no "P" sound in Levantine Arabic, only a "B" sound. So they're the "Baal - estinians"

Yeah. Why should the United States be involved with it, provoking it, aiding it? I don't really care that Zionists are Jewish supremacists, I care my nation bends over backwards to support them. That's where I care.

socal2 says

Radical Islam of the Sunni and Shia variety have ethnically cleansed virtually every last Jew, Christian, Baha'i, Yazidi and Hindu from the Region since WWII.

The reason there's radical religion in the region now is that in 1953 the United States overthrew the democracy of Iran, and installed a brutal, repressive dictatorship and the only people stupid and crazy enough to stand up against it were religious nuts who were successful in 1979. As a result of that success of overthrowing a foreign power, it was realized only religious radicals were stupid enough and sacrificial enough to be able to overthrow foreign powers. This was used to the United States' advantage when the Taleban (then called the Mujahideen) was used to throw out the USSR in Afghanistan. That's what the movie Rambo III was about.

NoCoupForYou says

There was never a Palestinian state, so they are not occupied from Palestine.

A "state" is just a concept, lines on a map. There's no state called the Catskills, or the Apalacians - doesn't mean you can just displace the people there, does it? This is another, tiresome talking point of propaganda. The area was known as Palestine for millennia, even though it was just a part of the Ottoman Empire.

NoCoupForYou says

They weren't recent Arab immigrants. Here's the census of the British Mandate of Palestine in 1922:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1922_census_of_Palestine

And 1931:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1931_census_of_Palestine

Go through the numbers for each ethnic group. It's easy to see who the invaders were. Tell me, how much did the Muslim population increase compared to the Jewish one in 9 years?

The indigenous people feared that the incoming invaders were going to create a state ruled by them, and would push them out. That is the root of the conflict, and they were absolutely right, weren't they?

23 Arab Countries, almost all of which came about through Arab Imperialist Colonialism. You're opposed to 25% of the Mandate of Palestine, 50% of which is barren Negev Desert with no resources or agra possibilities, going to the Jews, though the Arabs have 75% of the rest AND 98% of the entire Middle East.

You're opposed to one tiny country, about the size of NJ and half of which is useless rock desert, for the Jews.
