I remember the NYTImes and CNN headlines when the bombing started saying that Israel was "pummeling" Gaza -- as if we were witnessing a boxing match.
If Biden thinks that the outrage of the people who have been following this closely in the US will dim and subside once the bombing stops to give him time to recover his brand after a few months, he has no clue. Once the bombing stops, that's when the reckoning begins, as the images and stories of hell and horror emerge, and the question will become: How could you not only have let that happen, but actuallty financed it with OUR tax dollars.
That and the outrage will surely rob him of any moral overtones as he talks about Ukraine.
And there is the matter of Democracy -- and its gross violation by the DNC by effectively banning any challengers to Biden to stand in primaries.
And then there are the many broken promises -- including his weak, dismal moves to protect women's right with whatever tools he has (and he has plenty).
In any case, it is indeed fitting that the Democratic Convention this year is going to be in Chicago. It's going to be 1968 all over again, with the many, many factions loudly calling for a platform against militarism, corporatism, political spinelessness (Trump's Louis DeJoy is STILL Head of the US Post Office!), the destruction of the environment. In the middle of all that, the Trump scarecrow will be consumed and reduced to ashes by the flames of anger and disgust for Biden, the DNC, and their many minions in the US mainstream media.
Yesterday I was reading an updated list of congressfolk who’ve signed onto Cori Bush’s legislation for a permanent ceasefire. And MY US CONGRESSMAN’s name had magically appeared on it!
After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I immediately called his DC office to thank him.
Now I certainly cannot claim to have accomplished this by myself. But by calling his DC office three times a day over the past few weeks, I’m confident that I had some small part in it 😁

What’s more, that idiot Biden has finally pulled the best “flub” yet—he just announced that he is a Zionist. So that takes care of that.
Oh Jeano, he’s been doing that all along.
And….drum roll please…VICTORY!

I modestly thank you, Che. ☺️
And no, I never physically threatened him 😁
I know Che, lol.
It’s just that my fists have a reputation to uphold 😉
I can’t wait for it! 😁 @ Ahmed
