Asked by one reporter if he had any regrets about not enforcing red lines on Israel, Blinken said the Biden administration’s policies “were basically supported by an overwhelming majority of Israelis after the trauma of October 7”.

And this is the US, which is run by Some Other Country’s Majority Rule.

He has staff who have autonomy to make decisions on the trivial things, so he can focus on big picture.

He has staff to ignore the plebs for him. Who do we think we are, Netanyahu?

At least you didn’t have to vote for a candidate who was against genocide.

Heard this one before.

Also, where are all the centrists with their mindless “BoTh SiDeS” now that Trump and Biden have gleefully announced that there is no daylight between them on this issue?

I leave the whatever it is in the book at the end. Not in library books, mind you. Don’t like making more work for librarians. I started the habit when I found a baggage claim ticket in a book I bought at a used bookstore. I leave them in when I pass them on to the next owner.

I’ve found a few ersatz bookmarks over the years. The best so far was a 6 of clubs. The worst was a used q-tip.

1940s Swiss bank neutrality.

God damn it.

Nixon did it before Reagan.

At least you didn’t have to move left.

We’re just seeing how Democrats vote when they can’t possibly block a bill, versus how they vote when they can pass something.

Or Republicans will change senate rules to do away with the filibuster.

45 out of 215 Democrats voted for that or around 21% vs 90% of Republicans.

21% of Democratic voters voting for Republican candidates would be completely unacceptable. Why is it ok for 21% of our representatives to vote for genocide?

Oh right. It’s ok when it’s the only thing centrists actually want.

It sure is convenient how everything that doesn’t make Biden look like a deliberately ineffective president who only cares about Netanyahu happens in documents no one is permitted to see and behind closed doors.

The person you’re arguing with treats lies as faits accomplis.

At least you didn’t have to listen to anyone to your left.

They played to the RIGHT. It’s all they have always been and always will be.

What failure? The excessive use of force is why we were selling them weapons. Gaza has been Biden’s only unmitigated success.

Bannon is sad that he’s no longer president and that Musk is.
