Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today announced Senate votes on his two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) to block the sale of $8.8 billion in U.S. bombs and other munitions to Israel, including more than 35,000 massive 2,000-pound bombs. Floor debate on Sanders’ JRDs will begin around 1:30 p.m. ET, subject to change based on the Senate schedule.

Harris may not have been the mastermind behind such a political strategy, but she was certainly in the know. Biden was senile from the start, anyone with a functioning brain would have expected that running for a second term was doomed from the beginning. They offered no solutions, rushed Harris’s campaign without due process, had no meaningful platform, and their endorsements were sickening and outright stupid.

There are powerful players in this political game whose names we will never know. They manipulate both sides, using politicians as mere faces to craft an alternative reality that serves their agenda.
We must stop falling into their cheap traps.

It’s referred to as Escalation of Commitment (at least in business school).
Some people have a really hard time admitting when they’ve been wrong. Especially if they feel tricked/bamboozled. So instead, they double down with their original premise. In other words, there’s just no convincing someone who doesn’t have an open mind.
