    Did you watch the video?

    Republicans gave Netanyahu a standing ovation.

    Dozens of Democrats abstained, the ones who attended remained seated, and Rashida Tlaib held up a sign that said “war criminal.”

        As you should. I saw all the memes before watching the video, and was happy to see that it wasn’t the “four-minute standing ovation” I kept hearing about when I finally watched it.

          I find it hilarious whenever I call them that they start wailing about homophobia, lol. Nobody insulted Eva Braun for sucking some guy off, the problem was that it was literally Hitler.

          Sucking cock is a fantastic thing to do for your fellow human, and a true friend loves and appreciates you for it.

          But sucking the cocks of dictators, that’s something sensible people everywhere disapprove of. Pretty much every dictator has awful anti-LGBT+ rhetoric and inhumane anti-LGBT+ policies.

            Don’t be dense. The poster above me was using “cocksucker” as an insult, which is a go-to homophobic insult, and I called it out. There’s no nuance or subtlety or dictionary lawyering that perfectly clearly expressed sentiment into being anything other than what it is.

              I used sucking the cock of dictators as an insult. Classic hexbear pos to remove all context to find some ground to shakily stand on.

              Yes, but is there anything in what I said that you actually disagree with?

              See, I think we agree, it’s just that I’m being more light hearted about it than you are. Good cop, bad cop, that sort of thing. You’re all “you’re nasty homophobe!” and I’m all “heyy, man, you should appreciate the blow jobs, not hate on them! But blow jobs are not for dictators.”

                “it’s just a joke! i’m just joking! you need to lighten up!”

                I never actually called you or anybody else a nasty homophobe, I called out a single comment for expressing a casual homophobic sentiment.

                  I think I’m frustrating you by being too flippant, and I didn’t mean to, so sorry about that.

                  You implied the person was being casually homophobic. If that’s not calling someone a homophobe idk what is. At least have the nerve to own it when you say it not backpeddle.

            see someone else get called out for a homophobic comment

            rush to their defense with even more homophobia

            I didn’t say anything about any political leader, dictator or democratic. I called out a single comment for being in poor taste, and ya’ll are showing your true colors in your responses to it.

            “it’s not homophobia, it’s misogyny!” is not the defense of the above comment you think it is.

              Recognizing that sex exists and people engage in it is neither homophobic nor misogynistic, chill the fuck out

              Bruh. I meant that you assumed that cocksucking is exclusively done by gay men. So it’s actually neither. Calling someone a motherfucker doesn’t mean that they actually have sex with their mothers. Insults like these are usually detached from their literal meaning.

              Improve your reading comprehension skills. English is literally my third language.

                The insult “cocksucker” did not fall out of a coconut tree. It exists in the context of all that has come before it, which in this case is decades of being the go-to insult of homophobes.
