It reminds me of the time a senator repeatedly accused the Tiktok CEO if being Chinese while he repeatedly told him he's Singaporean. American politicians are a bunch of racist clowns.

~~Same Senator!~~

I was wrong

[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago

I thought the senator from the other time was Tom Cotton?

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago

You’re totally right. Kennedy is the one that said “What does yada yada yada mean?” in the tiktok hearings.

[-] anarcho_blinkenist@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Sen. Kennedy confirmed not a Seinfeld watcher

[-] RION@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

A hearing into hate crimes? The call is coming from inside the house?

[-] miz@hexbear.net 45 points 1 month ago

this is the senate actually theory-gary

[-] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 55 points 1 month ago

[...] so, no, sir.

Blud said "nuh-uh" to wearing the mask, we mask off today.

[-] RomCom1989@hexbear.net 53 points 1 month ago

He should hide his head in a guillotine

[-] robinnist@hexbear.net 52 points 1 month ago

People are saying she didn’t answer the question I can’t take it anymore.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 59 points 1 month ago

yeonmi-park And in bad country every official must vocally condemn the enemy before giving a statement, even if it has nothing to do with the current meeting.

[-] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago

She should have refused to answer it tbh.

[-] HexReplyBot@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

That comment section was the dumbest thing I’ve seen in weeks. Like holy shit that was worse than Facebook comments. I don’t know how these people manage to keep themselves fed and bathed.

"Do you support Hamas?"

"I do not support Hamas."

"WHY CAN'T YOU SAY THAT YOU DON'T SUPPORT HAMAS?!?!?!"

I hope that he is given the same treatment that the IOF has given so many Palestinians when the revolution comes.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

I understand why they don’t do it but I really want to see people start responding to that shit with “Yes, I support Hamas in their efforts to protect Gaza from Israel. Hamas has a right to defend itself.”

Honestly, I think condemning Hamas in these situations is a mistake. It starts you on the back foot, accepting their framing of the situation. No, I do not condemn Hamas, or their actions on October 7th, for the same reason I would not condemn the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

[-] dRLY@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

You are not wrong and I agree 100%. It doesn't seem to change things with regards to the fascists anyway.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Exactly. No matter how many times you say, “No, I don’t support Hamas” they hear yes anyway, they don’t accept no as an answer, so condemning Hamas is just giving the fash more ammo.

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 36 points 1 month ago

it was a hate crimes hearing so the-republican thought he would let everyone hear some hate crimes

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Literally the guy in the story right? I mean that picture is literally him?

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

if i remember rightly someone put all of the sitting democrats the-democrat and all the republicans the-republican into an algorithm that fused all the faces together and shat out those two monstrosities. so yes, it is partly him dubois-finger-guns

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

There needs to be a big post with the story behind most of these emojis

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Noooooooooo~oooooooooo~ that knowledge is only for the ancient ones to know and to spread to the young ones theory-gary

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

Should've asked his cracker ass if he supports the KKK and the Nazi Party.

He wouldn't be able to bring himself to say No.

[-] Mantikora@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Aw, too shame she was too shocked to remember this.

[-] chungusamonugs@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

People will look you in the eye and tell you there's no racism or misogyny in the US, but one of 50 people who sculpts the laws and policy that affect the world is allowed to put both on display on national television with no consequences.

[-] InternetLefty@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

I think maybe they'll find his head hidden in a bag??? Maybe???

[-] miz@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

wishing him a very Andrew Myrick situation
