Ceasefire Reached to End Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon

[@TheArcaneMaster]

"International opinion" doesn't mean shit. If the US fucks w the ICC, we'll just get away w it like they always do. Netenyahu will continue w impunity as per usual.

[@FinnBrauer-wx6mc]

I agree with must but trust me the 'international opinion' does mean s***! But yes because the US aren't signatories means that the US and Israel literally get away with murder.

[@FinnBrauer-wx6mc]

Trust me, the 'international opinion' does mean s***. However, yes, you are right because the US are not signatories means the US and Israel literally get away with murder.

[@FinnBrauer-wx6mc]

I agree with this, however the 'international opinion' does matter. However, yes, because the US and Israel are not signatories means the will get away with anything.

[@Atowns]

Israel is a democracy, ICC can’t go after democracy. A Muslim judge named khan siding with by Islamists in Palestine… shock horror.

[@catherinebirch8263]

Ceasefire. I wonder how long before Israel ... whoopsy-daisy. I blinked and missed it.

[@eileenfile6157]

Restricting media will happen in the US under trmp as well.

[@christinaheater2500]

One thing that could help us is trump's desire to win. He does not want to put forth people who get rejected and make him look like a loser. The fact that senators appear to be holding the line is good.

[@danielslinger9017]

Great episode! May I humbly suggest a special episode on trumps tariffs & north american free trade. The canadian dollar went down in value just from the announcement, i feel like this potential trade war is a very big deal

[@trevinbeattie4888]

You might want to check out LegalEagle who just published a video on how trade tarrifs work.

What happened to Hamas and Gaza? It’s like they were replaced by Lebanon and Hezbollah.

[@imnadia84]

Lebanon was a distraction from Gaza. Now US is praising Israel for ceasefire against Lebanon (even though it hasn't happened and will take 2 freaking months, so much destruction can happen within 2 months, and Trump will be president and get credit).

[@AM-fs1je]

"Look over here!" Shell game.

[@henrysmommy7]

Yeah cuz it's way too obvious that they're just committing genocide in Gaza and using Hamas as an excuse and so distraction that was what the f*** that was with Hezbollah in Lebanon

[@evanszdk]

Listening to advice from John Bolton was the last thing I expected from this pod

[@boltzmannbrayn]

I was never a fan of him as he was such an arrogant and unpleasant hawk in the Bush era, but that doesn't automatically mean that all his opinions are invalid. Reasonable people can have unreasonable views on some issues and unreasonable people can have reasonable views on some issues.

[@biglebowski3961]

Who is going to monitor that climate change money and how it's used ?????

[@parker2066]

12:38 we are just days away, it’s called Christian nationalism.

[@WendyCopleston]

I can't re-iterate enough, how we all need people like Tommy and Co. Decency and intelligence exists - you do not cancel it, because the others have a bigger megaphone and are exponentially stupid. Why would any-one kow-tow to that sort of idiocy. Keep the faith, guys.

[@terriej123]

First of all, the part about Israel retaining the right to restart hostilities is actually not listed in the deal at all. Also, Hezb doesn’t need to be anywhere near the litani river in order for their weapons to reach Israel. So them moving back past the litani river, doesn’t make the Israelis any safer. The displaced Israelis know this & that’s why they refuse to return to their homes near the Israeli “border” with Lebanon. Another thing is that the reason why 1701 was never fully implemented is because Israel has always refused to declare what their formal borders actually are. And that’s because they would like to eventually take parts of Lebanon, Jordan, Yemen, & even Egypt, in order to achieve the “greater Israel” that they desire.

[@Catlandian]

The landmines have a timer up to a max 2 weeks and then they're supposed to be inactive.

[@beecee8347]

I read that too. They're called "non-persistent"

[@blantonator]

they also have a man in the middle.

[@erasedtape]

Still annoyed at Ben for the Harris staffers video

[@bretthake7713]

Kinda weird considering Ben wasn't in the Harris staffers video. Dan did that interview.

[@Spooky_Academic]

It’s so weird when Americans say that Brazil isn’t in the West; adopt global north/south so it at least makes geographic sense

[@Spooky_Academic]

Also calling Israel a western country… like I *know* what you mean but line it up with what you’re saying. Sorry, I correct undergrads on this too. (Sorry for the obligatory sorry, I am Canadian).

[@ShaqShoes]

I mean it's obvious what people mean - no one really cares about the technical definition. It's like 1st/2nd/3rd world which *technically* refers to NATO/Warsaw Pact/Unaffiliated but in reality people today only use 1st/3rd world as indicators of overall development/wealth levels. Language evolves. No need to be obtuse if it's clear what people mean.

[@rainmanjr2007]

It's my sincere hope that his economy tanks. Hard and deep. If it doesn't then he will be normalized and Democrats will take on the roll of Henny Penny. Tariffs are the least of my concerns with him.

[@kabuki7038]

12:50 Imagine believing anything John fucking Bolton has to say lmao

[@paulgladstoneboonpushparaj9420]

Any word on the Adani case?

[@parker2066]

6:17 Israel hasn’t been following the law as it is…

[@curtiswfranks]

The Turkey Pardon is sacred to me. It is a weird thing that we do and that will puzzle future historians. We 𝘤𝘢𝘯 enjoy ourselves from time to time, you know.

[@darrahhopper6437]

I can't imagine that Trump will bother with it in the future. However, the statement against it was from Singer. Consider the source. He thinks keeping or killing animals for food is immoral. Until we live in his perfect world, I think we should has some fun.

[@henrysmommy7]

First and foremost how about Israel stop committing a genocide

[@saras1487]

Will you be discussing what’s going on with The Guardian and The Observer?

[@helenbott3584]

Regarding Israel and journalistic freedom I think part of this to includes the high death Toll of journalists in Gazza and prior and how this build a picture of respect for journalists themselves speaks to journalistic press freedom

[@newbe1o1]

Turkey pardons feel out of touch when there are a lot of people who deserve pardons instead. People who are serving time for non violent weed offenses in particular should not be there.

[@Redstapleryadayada37]

For real? It’s a joke.

[@newbe1o1]

@ it’s always been in poor taste. Imagine you are in need of a life saving drug, but the supplier isn’t willing to give it to you. Instead they give it to two turkeys because it is a good photo op and a fun joke.

[@MurdocIsASaint]

Hunter Biden too

[@dairymoon7571]

Go touch grass.

[@newbe1o1]

@ sitting on the lawn right now. Turkey pardons are still in poor tastez

[@ruthantiaobong3502]

9:53 I vehemently disagree with that statement Israel is doing just f****** fine they have lots of goddamn things

[@rojak225]

why is netanyahu a western leader? israel is in the middle east.

[@catherinebirch8263]

Because Israel is a Western colony.

[@cirithungol296]

wow, right out the gate Tommy brags about having a dad.. must be nice! /s 🦃🤣

[@rainmanjr2007]

The mines have a battery that dies after 60 days so Tommy is being disingenuous about that.

Imran Khan for turkey pardon on Thursday, Promised From Trump'

[@rainmanjr2007]

How about the horror of life underground, like those hostages are enduring. Those who are still alive, anyway. I'm really tired of hearing about the horrors Gazans suffer. Why did they never protest the use of money for rockets and tunnels? SMH.

[@bermo6066]

If a horrible thing happens to someone and a similarly horrible thing happens to many thousand more people, do you consider the greater number of people to be worse? If not, why do the people in the first category count for more than people in the second?

[@DennisMoore664]

You must be a very good driver - yeah.
