Way to go #biden

Could've settled the Ukraine long ago, but now we've got two wars going and nicely giving China, Iran, and Russia, common cause.

Once this thing goes nuclear, even if it's contained, that genie is out of the bottle.

For nearly a hundred years we've collectively determined that nuclear war should be assiduously avoided.

Biden isn't staring down the evil empire.

Phony brave.
Crazy tough.

Trump Leads in 5 Critical States as Voters Blast Biden, Times/Siena Poll Finds

President Biden is trailing Donald J. Trump in five of the six most important battleground states one year before the 2024 election, suffering from enormous doubts about his age and deep dissatisfaction over his handling of the economy and a host of other issues.

Discontent pulsates throughout the Times/Siena poll, with a majority of voters saying Mr. Biden’s policies have personally hurt them.

Demographic groups that backed Mr. Biden by landslide margins in 2020 are now far more closely contested, as two-thirds of the electorate sees the country moving in the wrong direction.

Voters under 30 favor Mr. Biden by only a single percentage point, his lead among Hispanic voters is down to single digits and his advantage in urban areas is half of Mr. Trump’s edge in rural regions.

“U.S.-provided arms should not be used to massacre civilians, should not be used to result in massive civilian casualties. And that is what we are seeing in #Gaza …. Vice President #KamalaHarris was just saying yesterday that we will not place any conditions whatsoever on our arms to #Israel. And that is unlike any arms transfer decision I’ve ever been a part of” #Khive #Biden #war #Palestine #humanrights #genocide #apartheid https://www.democracynow.org/2023/11/3/josh_paul_resigns_israel_gaza

@RonDeSantis: "The Biden Admin is shamefully pressuring Israel to permit fuel into Gaza despite knowing Iran-backed Hamas has significant fuel reserves that it refuses to provide to civilians and takes the fuel for its rockets and terror tunnels against Israel. [...]

@tyler @Synclair this should be all that's needed for #biden to lose. While I prefer Trump, RFK has the twin qualities of coherent expression and cogent thought process.

Only danger is a three way split favoring the incumbent.

If this fucker had any integrity...well, I dunno. He can't resign. This man managed to select an even more abhorrent VP than himself. Not his first rodeo.

#Israel #Biden #Palestine #Gaza #HumanRights #WarCrimes #Genocide: "Biden’s effort to delegitimize the numbers coming out of Gaza as fake news has created an opening for defenders of Israel’s indiscriminate bombing campaign to dismiss the crisis; they note that Hamas governs Gaza and therefore runs the Ministry of Health and is inflating the figures. (Biden later clarified he meant to say he didn’t trust Hamas, not all Palestinians, according to the Wall Street Journal.)

Biden’s claim was quickly rejected by human rights organizations that have been active in Gaza for years. The Associated Press noted that the Ministry of Health’s figures from previous conflicts have broadly matched the numbers arrived at by both the Israeli government and the United Nations. And the State Department itself has long considered the numbers reliable.

The Gaza Ministry of Health, meanwhile, responded by publishing a list of names of 6,747 who had died as of October 26 since the bombing campaign began, including 2,664 children. The list included 2,665 children, but The Intercept found that one 14-year-old boy was listed twice, bringing its total down to 6,746. Otherwise the list does not contain duplicates."

"Biden’s attempt to sow doubt about the human toll of Israel’s assault is in keeping with a broad US pattern, stretching back decades, of rejecting allegations of mass murder by client states and allies, and of disputing casualty numbers cited by journalists, activists, and international organizations"

The [first] shipment would likely not cross until Friday, as the road at the crossing needed repairs, #Biden said.

“They’re going to patch the road. They have to fill in potholes to get these trucks through. And that’s going to occur - they expect it’ll take about eight hours tomorrow,” he said. #RafahCrossing #Gaza #Israel

#Filipinos in #Gaza are multi-generational – Filipino women who are married to #Palestinians, their children, and grandchildren.

President #Biden, despite his full-throated support for #Israel and its right to strike #Hamas, dangled high-level visits, military support and public backing to buy time in #Gaza. The slow-walking strategy flows from five strategic worries.

EXTREMELY GRAPHIC CONTENT
The #BBC reached out to the White House to get clarification on #Biden 's comments on beheaded children

A WH official has since told the BBC that Biden did not see such images, rowing back from the president's comments.

"He was referring to the reports from #Israel, " the official said.

It thrust the president into the middle of the debate over the veracity of the claim and distracted somewhat from the focus of Mr Biden’s message – that he condemned the attack

V @zurch #BBC North America correspondent:
'Murdered #children are a heartbreaking tragedy no matter how they were killed. But Mr #Biden ’s remarks complicate matters for the US as it seeks to aid and support #Israel

As the fog of war continues to swirl around this new conflict, any walking back or confusion risks aiding those who are trying to sow #misinformation and cast doubt on events and atrocities that are verifiably true.'

Job growth is flourishing under President Biden's leadership. #Biden #DemocratsDeliver #VoteBlue
