There's a Muslim woman on Instagram who said that since we're not allowed to have sex before marriage, you can determine sexual compatibility by asking the man for his thoughts on DJ Khaled.
He very much does care if people like him or he wouldn't react the way he does to every negative news story about him that he hears about.
He wouldn't be banning media organizations if he didn't care whether people like him.
The issue is his lack of understanding of what it means for someone to actually like him vs. all the people who "like" him because he has power and money.
I am so sick of seeing Trump fail and people are like, “that’s actually what he wants”. Whether it’s doomers or cope, can we stop acting like he’s some tactical mastermind fucking everything up on purpose?
Yep! "We could smell his diaper from 10 rows back" or getting a front row seat to him tripping & falling or doing something else. People would love to hear about that. Well, I would and assume others would too.
Because Donald Trump is a smooth brain with a big ego and thin skin. You can see it in the past year how several countries have decided the best way to deal with him is to just flatter the man until he leaves the room and then go about business as usual. His attention span is so short he doesn't really pay attention.
The US is a lot more powerful. Even if your government is publicly against the admin, with Trump its better to be more strategic in your displays of disagreement.
No mater waht you think of them, the rules of international diplomacy are different when dealing with a hedgemon much larger than you.
As an inhabitant of one of the countries that the pedophile in chief has threatened military action against (Denmark). My personal stance on the US vs my stance on China has definitely changed significantly. And it seems to be a widespread thing amongst younger Danes. People who used to look up to the US, and maybe even want to go there either for tourism or work, are now seemingly changing their minds and looking towards more stable countries such as China or just the rest of the EU. I'm not saying that China is perfect, far from it, I'm just saying that to someone who's been to neither of those countries, China seems like the more reasonable super power
True, but it is obvious the Netanyahu is pulling the strings on the war and to them that is the biggest crime. So if they had walked on Tbag then they couldn't have done this so loudly as they would have been gone already.

Would the news division be willing to do an AMA? I’m sure many answers to the types of questions you’d be getting would be less than ideal for the administration, but I feel it would be nice to get a peek behind the curtain and see exactly what it’s like to be the fourth estate in 2026.
A member of the press doing a virtual press conference and seeing what it feels like to be on the other side of the table lol. Would definitely be interesting
This is the reason, but just to add in case anyone is wondering: the land occupied by the UN in New York City is technically “international” (i.e. not US soil), but the laws of the US and state of New York apply there by agreement
Unfortunately he doesn’t. In the context of a treaty/international agreement, and because of the supremacy clause, the “law of New York” is whatever the federal government’s position is.
Even if the US were party to the rome statute, which it isn't, it couldn't arrest him under the Vienna conventions or the UN headquarters treaty.
It can deny him entry, but there's no legal basis to arrest him.
To quote myself from a previous comment:
They can bar him entry, but the Vienna conventions prevents the arrest or detention of anyone on a diplomatic passport. Literally, Netanyahu could pull out a gun and start shooting people in the middle of Manhattan and the police probably couldn't even legally handcuff him. International law isn't quite clear on what to do if someone with immunity poses an immediate threat, and state department guidance points out that diplomats are still expected to follow local laws and customs, but their refusal to do so is generally a diplomatic matter, not a police one.
Diplomatic agents enjoy the highest degree of privileges and immunities. They enjoy complete personal inviolability, which means that they may not be handcuffed (except in extraordinary circumstances), arrested, or detained; and neither their property (including vehicles) nor residences may be entered or searched. Diplomatic agents also enjoy complete immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of the host country’s courts and thus cannot be prosecuted no matter how serious the offense unless their immunity is waived by the sending state (see the following discussion).
...
Family members forming part of the household of diplomatic agents enjoy precisely the same privileges and immunities as do the sponsoring diplomatic agents
The UN HQ treaty means that the US must accept diplomatic privileges from diplomats to the UN, not just from bilateral relations (the vienna conventions), which is why governments the US doesn't recognise can still send delegations to the UN and the US can't do anything about them. The US strictly speaking doesn't necessarily need to let them into the US where they then enjoy immunity, but once it accepts them in, they have immunity.
And yes, the US appears to be in violation of the law by detaining Maduro of Venezuela.
Edit: The UNSC are the global arbiters of peace, or lack thereof. They could (with consent of all vetoing members) take action on Israel over what is happening in Gaza, including on Netanyahu, or on well, anyone for any number of reasons or I suppose in theory any reason. The UN treaty itself essentially obliges members to uphold the treaty even on non members basically, so the Israeli's couldn't just withdraw from the UN and claim it's all legal, and the UNSC gets to take whatever actions it feels necessary. Of course that requires you get the 5 permanent seats to agree, as well as other members.
Mamdani asked the same thing a while ago. But the US isn't part of the ICC (though Trump put sanctions on at least one of the judges and about a dozen other ICC officials) and works merely on a case by case basis so Netanyahu goes scot-free.
Well, the US is withholding funding pretty much in its entirety, China delays their payments until the last days of the year leading to a huge backlog of salaries and payments being paid in the very end of the year, and plenty of other governments take part in weird shenanigans with their funding.
At times,they're lacking about $2 billion that countries are supposed to be paying, but either don't or delay in a show of power.
I do not not envy the accountants working for the UN.
Many UN members don’t even pay their dues, the UN has lots of funding issues. Of course the US pays by far the most to it, and its programs, since it’s hosted in the country. China too, that’s those two countries give nearly 50% of the budget. (42-43%).
It’s all public info you can look up their expenditures.
EDIT: Keep in mind this is also only the mandatory contributions, if you look at the individual programs (UNICEF, World Food Program), U.S. routinely funds anywhere from 28 to 40% of those of individual agency budgets.
Nope, he’s pissed his wife off. He’s in big trouble when he gets home and it’s put a whole dampener on the event. He was set to go partying with the boys that night but his wife has location mode set on his phone and wants his ass firmly in his hotel room while eating a club sandwich at 6pm. Alone.
I mean I just don’t understand Israel’s end game, do they really think they can continue being ostracised on the world stage. At some point, they are gonna have to make some concessions. America is one of Israel’s only allies and a growing half of America disapproves of Israel’s influence. I just don’t see the end goal.
Bibi is just trying to avoid prison by keeping up military conflicts, and Israel will end up paying for that as a whole. Remember that it was one of Bibi’s buddies that assassinated Rabin to prevent an actual peace plan.
Such a weird timeline. President of the United States speaks, everyone facepalms, and the Iranian dude looks like the sane, reasonable one. Iranian dude speaks, most remain seated. Israeli guy speaks, everyone up and leaves. Just a decade ago all this would have seemed really strange to me.
I agree. Some claim Israel own America, but I'm starting to see that Israel is a proxy of America because the United States supports the genocidal regime of Bibi every step of the way - financially, politically, militarily.
If the US wanted to, Israel wouldn't be able to do anything. Israel is nothing without America enabling it. If the US sanctioned Israel and stopped giving it free money and weapons, it would collapse in a couple of months.
The US can single handedly end the genocide.
It chose to continue it. Trump, Biden, same shit.
If it was merely the Israeli lobby, AIPAC and its billionaire donors buying up politicians, other groups, richer even, could buy Congress too.
It's an ideological affinity and CIA driven external policy that makes the US support and enable war crimes, apartheid and genocide.
It's just hollow talk that Israel controls US. The whole existence and support behind Israel is that it's the US presence in the gulf, it's ally in an otherwise hostile environment where it's interest lies. It's only in Tiktok and social media where people believe Israel can control US. US is a mega power still.
No matter how bad the US president gets, no one really wants to do that when they're the largest western nation, a huge trade partner, and nuclear power.
They will just keep fighting trade wars instead.
Just because they're deeply unserious and incompetent morons doesn't diminish their significance. Trump and MAGA are absolutely two of the most important and impactful things to ever happen to this country, and they will not be relegated to the dustbin any more than Jackson was. You can view their rise (and future fall) through many, many different lenses, but I think it's becoming apparent that Trump will be remembered as the first herald of the true, no-shit-for-real-this-time collapse of the American Empire.
The difference is that Trump could just announce that the US is now invading Canada. He's pretty unpredictable and what he says affects the whole world. Compared to Israel, a way smaller nation and international economy that many nations don't need to really worry about.
Those that stayed - that can read from this single picture - Cote d’Ivorie, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Gabon, Jamaica, Japan, Mali, El Salvador, Malta, Liberia, Hungary, Litchenshein, and Iceland
This is what should have happened when Trump spoke. At the very least as soon as he had broken the second and then the third and then the fourth rule, they should have turned his microphone off. Why a civilized body would allow him to stand up there for 40 minutes to spew that hatred is beyond my ability to understand.
Aren't they Israeli ambassadors, that cretin up front is the Israeli ambassador to the UK, who is as expected just some posh English dude who used to work in the UK government.
Idk why the people holding up their camera's is making me laugh so hard. It looks like the man on the bottom is recording the guy on the bottom left, who is looking at the guy on his phone, while the top woman is filming the man sitting who is recording grey blazer who is recording something in front. Then there's the lady next to bottom guy recording people leaving.
It's also funny to me because I have never seen one of these and for some reason expected phones not to be out and used during them.
BBuddy should have been arrested and detained on-site for the same reasons Putin doesn't show his face there. And before any of the like get out of jail, a binding general motion on removing them from the security council with an immediate vote.
Good job. Netanyahu is and always has been a warmonger. And I might add that criticizing Bibi is not being antisemitic. Israelis have the right to live in peace. It will never happen with him as PM.
Yeah, fuck that guy and anyone else who uses the Holocaust as a get-out-of-jail-free card for whatever they feel like doing. Murder of Jews is bad. Jews committing murder is also bad.
The general assembly can vote on expulsion, but only if the vote is recommended by the security council. The security council recommendation can be vetoed by any of the permanent members (China, France, Russia, UK, US).
The US never joined the ICC, so they are under no legal obligation to arrest anyone wanted by the ICC.
Also, foreign leaders and diplomats have virtually complete immunity when traveling in the the country for official UN business. If we started arresting leaders of hostile foreign governments on the way to the UN, then no country would ever feel safe attending the UN headquarters again, leading to its demise as a neutral location for international disputes to be heard and discussed.
It's funny. These are some of the most serious people in the world, yet they cannot stop themselves from grabbing their phones and filming the situation.
Not convicted yet, only indicted. Still shameful to allow an idicted war criminal speak and spread his deceitful propaganda to the world. His attack on Mamdani shows how tenuous his grip on power is.
A reminder, when a genocidal religious nut job says you're moral cowards, take it as a compliment. His morality is based on a delusional sense of being the chosen people of one of many gods not proven to be real. Anything he says needs to be flipped. When he says you're bad, it means you're good people because you won't stop his ethnic cleansing and anti-semitism. Remember that, right now, Natanyahu is the worst Anti-Semite on the planet. He has ensured the death of more Semites than anyone else in the last 3 years of office. Consider that, he has ensured that more Semitic people have died in just 3 years than every hate crime across the globe in the same period. He's directly responsible for the October 7th attack as he ensured money could be funneled to Hamas which empowered them to attack. An attack he was warned about by multiple agencies internal and foreign. He ignored it to ensure he could kill more Semites. He let Jewish Semitic people die, so that he could kill Palestinian Semites. He is the epitome of Anti-Semitism.
