Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I mean this whole ceasefire thing, especially at this point, is B.S PR. Its like if the Allies were asking The 3rd Reich to make sure they're feeding their concentration camp populations well, before they kill them.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 7 points 9 hours ago

This is the same spokesman who continuously said a ceasefire is going to happen any day now and we can't investigate those war crimes until Israel does. Amazing he wasn't telling the truth the entire time

Sure glad the Yanks allowed fascism in the door and the genocide to escalate. Boy howdy, your personal morality is more important obviously.

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, no shit. It was obvious from the start. Good work allowing a genocide and handing the country over to unbridled fascism to protect your assets.

They didn't allow it, they enthusiastically supported it while gaslighting us about it. They literally had press dragged out by cops for asking about Gaza, this ghoul was the Goebbels of this genocide and now he's trying to whitewash his own image.

And what about when you were doing it and we said you were doing it and the entire fucking establishment told us to shut the fuck up?

I feel like this is the fifth time this story has been published and liberals still ignore it

Sorry, let me include a quote:

“There were times that we very much wanted to go public and make clear that we thought the prime minister was being completely intransigent and making it tougher to get a deal. But we discussed it amongst ourselves, and we made the decision that it wouldn’t accomplish anything,” said Miller.

Great job all around guys

"wouldnt accomplish anything"

Because Netanyahu could have slapped Biden on stage, whipped out his Penis and stuck it in Bidens mouth for the entire world to see and the Biden administration would have upped the arms shipments the next day.

The core principle of the Biden administration was to support the genocide and pretend not to. The Trump administration just dropped the pretense.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 21 hours ago

The core principle of the Democratic Party is to support and pretend not to. The Republicans just drop the pretense.

With a little revision, it's the United States political dynamic!

Oh man I had forgotten how much relief it is to not see his face anymore

Did you even read the headline? Or do you think an ex Biden aide has any authority whatsoever in the current regime?
