Blinken told Congress, “We do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting” aid, even though the U.S. Agency for International Development and others had determined that Israel had broken the law.
Blinken is only there because Biden needed someone willing to throw every last shred of integrity they have out the window.
It’s maddening that the party keeps demanding random republicans endorse Harris because Trump is so bad, but Harris won’t even admit that best case scenario Bidens brain is just as cooked.
Worst case scenario he’s mind isn’t gone and he’s still supporting a genocide.
But either way, grandpa shouldnt get to drive home from country Kitchen Buffet “one more time” when we all know he can’t drive. Either he should have stopped down, or gotten the 25th by now.
One of my hopes is that the reason Harris isn’t supporting Palestine/Gaza more is because of resistance from Biden behind the scenes. So once she’s President, that would cease to be a factor.
TBF i see why they aren’t going for article 25 yet. With only a couple of months to go before the election, and having started her campaign late, it might just be too much to try to push through the inertia just now. Also, she still likely needs Biden’s support for her campaign - if they go article 25 that would probably vanish.
Devil’s advocate: These medical reports generally are not public, so only folks in his inner circle like the VP and Cabinet members would know about the results. These folks are beholden to Biden and thus the least likely to pull the trigger.
Sure. I’m not arguing its impossible. I’m arguing that anyone that thinks “we all know” is being very foolish. The only reasonable assertion is we don’t really know. Judging based off of the limited information we have is not “we don’t know” though, its armchair theorizing by people that generally don’t even have medical training.
Even so, it’s hard to see what the alternative is. Should folks with actual medical training announce their speculation based on limited information? (Assuming that’s not even possible, considering that most professional organizations frown on that sort of thing.)
To be fair though, I suspect the OC (original commenter) here is actually trying to make the case that Biden is too frail for office because he’s not sufficiently pro Palestine, without explicitly spelling out that this is the reason…
One supports Fascism at home, the other supports ethno-Fascist Genocide abroad.
The distance between one posture and the other is small and far more easy to transverse than people want to believe, whilst the distance between supporting Fascism at home and not supporting Fascism at all (much less the same type of Fascism as the Nazis, whilst actively commiting Genocide) is pretty much an impassable chasm.
Just because their Theater Of Morality is different doesn’t mean Biden and the DNC are significantly less pro-Authoritarianism than Trump and his cronies.
Then why the fuck do we not revolutionize and impose a 3rd party? I swear, I have to go down to DC myself to make people realize WE NEED TO GO OUT AND ACT!!! If NO ONE is happy with either party, we should be able to decline either candidate until we can all agree we found a compitent one. God, does anyone know of any revolutionary groups? I know the founding fathers didn’t just declare independency and establish governmemt. They actually met up and planned how to knock these rich assholes off their thrones.
But using trump to defend supporting a genocide and cutting off aid to its victims will only depress turnout and help trump win.
What would help stop trump is the rest of the party (especially Harris) calling out Biden despite having the same letter by their name
With the added benefit of you know…
Not supporting a genocide and cutting off aid to its victims…
If you use trump to excuse this then how is that different than people excusing Trump’s extremely dangerous faults because they think Dems would potentially be worse?
Standards only matter if you hold your own “team” to them, if you don’t they’re not standards.

No, actually, some of us have more exacting standards for medical diagnosis than armchair theorizing.

That’s a good point. You’re absolutely right.

Biden is bad in this subject. Trump would be massively worse not only here but virtually everywhere else too

No one is disagreeing with that.

It sounds like Biden is saying the right things, as per https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13905011/Biden-call-Israel-PM-Netanyahu-Lebanon-bibi-war-middle-east.html he’s demanding that they stop.
And he’s paused military aid to Israel in the past, while supporting more humanitarian aid to Gaza.
I’m not sure what more you want.
