I guess if you deliberately ignore literally everything that Donald Trump has said about the Palestinian genocide, that's true!

And also his presidency, and his actions during it. The genocide has been going on for a while!

the first thing you should read is buried at page 384 of 388, which is the letter from Biden's lawyers putting things in their proper context.

apperently The voluntary interviews lasting 5 hours were on October 8 and 9, immediately after october 7th. so i doubt he was in best shap for it.

quote:

We are pleased to see that after more than a year of investigating, you have determined that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter.

Soundbytes aside that's what, 0 for 3 for the GOP?

James Garfield posted:

It's the classified documents. The special counsel is a Republican (I don't know why the justice department chose a Republican special counsel) so when he found no wrongdoing he did a partisan hit job instead.

Yeah, with that whole thing it's pretty obvious that's what it is now.

Harris would get absolutely demolished by Trump and everybody knows it, so no matter what the truth of Biden's condition is or how bad he may get, he'll be propped up to run so long as he's still technically alive. Hell, even if he's dead they might try to hide it until the Electoral College votes.

I think we call Genocide Joe "Genocide Joe" because he's the one actively participating in the genocide and preventing the UN from calling for a ceasefire. As far as we know, Donald Trump isn't currently providing any material support in the way that Joe Biden continues to do. I am sure that if Donald Trump manages to win the presidency from Joe Biden and provides material support to the genocide, you'll see people criticizing Donald Trump with similar language.

It was just a week ago people were continuing to call him Donald the Dove, I wouldn't expect language around Trump to change at this point.

This is all of course true, the genocide has been going on for 75 years at least, but didn't it see a pretty major escalation after October 2023?

lmao you're as wet and dewy eyed over a temporary port in Gaza as any neocon was over the prospect of nation building in Iraq circa 2003 and both prospects are equally absurd. Gaza had a port once as I am sure you already know, Israel destroyed it. When this finally ends and if (big if in my opinion) Palestinians are allowed to remain in Gaza, whatever infrastructure remains from that temporary port is going to get bombed into oblivion at the first perceived provocation from whatever government rules Gaza.
