This is something I struggle to understand. The US threatened to pull back from arms deliveries to #Israel if they didn’t comply with the need for more aid. Stipulating there should be hundreds of lorries going into #Gaza every day. A tenth of that is happening and aid agencies say conditions even worse. For the US to not react in any way speaks of major weakness on their part, or in #Biden.

"Gaza is a wasteland"

expect more Democrats supporting #Gaza now that it's not their leader 100% supporting #Genocide

Here's Senator Chris Van Hollen talking to #Medhi about it

Why #Biden will go down in the annals as a war criminal. No POTUS has been worse on #Palestine. Anything #Trump does to #Gaza from here on out will only be built on a foundation laid by #GenocideJoe.

“#US President Joe Biden yesterday reiterated his absolute support for #Israel, which continues to commit a genocidal war in Gaza.

Biden made the remark in #press statements at the beginning of his meeting with his Israeli counterpart Isaac Herzog at the White House.”

They’re barely even opponents. When the show is over they hug and kiss like boxers after weeks of phony #trashtalk made solely to sell pay-per-views."

#Genocide #Palestine

“#Israel’s total war on Palestinian civilians, in turn, significantly reduced enthusiasm for #Biden among youth and minorities at home, helping usher him out of office. It also created electoral obstacles for Kamala #Harris’s presidential bid. By his insistence on impunity for the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden has left the Middle East in flames and the U.S. and the world distinctly in peril”

I don't think there was more to see in it than a superficial election trick. #Biden won't buy a conscience he has not (and it's not by #Harris one would have found it, anyway), I think he will bury that the same way he did for everything until then. I don't even remember the last time the #US took a good decision (if it ever happened). I just don't think it's worth waiting for it whoever is in command. They just do things claiming they are the best of the world whatever they make.

subtly notes the only substantial change in US #Immigration policy under the #Biden Regime was the names. Not "#KidsInCages". "#ReunificationCenters", and back again, as soon as #Trump is insinuated into the offal orifice.

#Biden banned Chinese #EVs, drove up median price and drove down median features, all so they could lose Michigan over his #Gaza killing 👍🏽

The role of the #Gaza genocide in Kamala #Harris’s loss

The cause of #KamalaHarris’ disastrous failure in the 2024 presidential election will forever be debated, but there are good reasons to believe the Israeli genocide in Gaza played a significant role.

"Biden was given a film camera. The result? A new, intimate view of the White House"

“Being able to have created something with the president at this point in his career is the honor of a lifetime for all of us,” Grant Weintrob, one of the page’s creators, said. “And hopefully that would be like the lasting impression the video gives.”

"Biden spent his entire career promoting war and militarism at every opportunity, and then spent the twilight years of his time in Washington choosing to continue supplying an active genocide that is fully dependent on US-supplied arms.

He refused off-ramp after off-ramp to the horrific war in Ukraine that has burned through a generation of men in that country, which he knowingly provoked by amassing a military proxy threat on Russia’s border in ways the US would never tolerate being amassed on its own border. In the early weeks of the conflict Biden and his fellow empire managers sabotaged peace talks to keep the war going for as long as possible with the goal of bleeding Moscow, and at one point his own intelligence agencies reportedly assessed that the probability of a nuclear war erupting on this front was as high as 50–50.

Coin toss odds on nuclear war. To call this a crime against humanity would be a massive understatement.

Biden has been facilitating Israeli atrocities in the middle east with US military expansionism in the region and bombing operations in Yemen, Iraq and Syria. He will spend his lame duck months backing Israel’s scorched earth demolition of southern Lebanon."

"Somehow, Biden seemed unaware that the government of extremists formed by Netanyahu in late 2022 was anything but the Israel of the 1960 film Exodus, with a blue-eyed Paul Newman as the protagonist. It was instead a witch’s brew of virulent ethnonationalism and religious apocalypticism"

A good summary of Biden's Middle East legacy from Juan Cole.

"This is the 8th attack" [on tents].

Israel attacks people already displaced and living in tents.

my sincere condemnation to anyone still defending #Biden #Harris

Maybe if #Biden stepped down this week, then ☆President #KamalaHarris☆ could stop the #genocide on #Palestinians in #Gaza #Palestine like she promised? 🤣 Sure! Fuck ur "#Democrats".

#GenocideJoe #Biden extended #Israel’s deadline for ending #genocide, because — just like the $300 million humanitarian pier of death — the deadline was nothing but a bluff and a deception.

"#Biden should suspend all arms to #Israel. Period.

…senior air force official told Haaretz that without Americas supply of weapons Israel would've had a hard time sustaining its war more than a few months…

Biden promised to end the federal death penalty when campaigning in 2020, after #Trump ordered execution of 13 death row prisoners in his final six months in office. With the stroke of a pen, Biden could commute the sentences of the 40 current death row prisoners"

Another great success for #Biden's government, after helping the #genocide of #Palestinians by #Israel in #Gaza:

Defend democracy!
(some other day, maybe, or never)

4 years were not enough for his hand picked AG, Garland, to bring the fascist insurrectionist to justice. But "defend democracy" was on the ballot.

“Those community members who did not support Trump linked the former president's reelection to a 'failure of Democratic leadership' that stopped listening to the community's concerns that go beyond the #Israel-#Hamas war in #Gaza.”

Voters in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights found #Trump more genuinely interested in hearing their grievances … than #Harris or … #Biden, neither of whom made a … [campaign] visit to Dearborn ….”

“Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect #Trump and congratulated him on his victory,” #KamalaHarris said in her concession speech yesterday.

What happened to the existential threat to democracy?
What happened to all of the fascism talk, to the warnings about Trump’s authoritarian streak, to the talk of him as a dictator, hellbent on exacting revenge?

Not a peep."

#Biden, Harris Welcome '#Fascist' Trump - Ken Klippenstein

Train workers begged can we please have sick days and Good Old #Union Joe #Biden used some Good Old Civil War law to crush their strike. Immediately, a massive train disaster and ships knocking over bridges and whatnot, as the Transportation Mayor did very nice verbal jousting during interviews. #Harris just sorta gets the nomination after Old Joe blocks a primary. Harris runs on Good Old Joe did great and I will too, ignore #Gaza, here are some Cheneys who like me.

Maddow made this point in the video I shared earlier
