Pacific Ocean accused of being large body of water.
Simone Biles accused of being good at gymnastics.
Helsinki accused of being the capital of Finland.

A 13 October letter addressed to then-Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer from their US counterparts said Israel must allow 350 aid trucks a day into Gaza over the next 30 days. Most aid organisations estimate that around 700 trucks a day are needed to meet everyday needs.

In the second half of October, the World Food Programme said just 58 trucks a day were being allowed into Gaza

It’s beyond tragicomedy and into dystopia. That anyone believes a word the complicit US government says about the fascist apartheid regime at this point is proof positive that political gaslighting is much more effective than most people believe.

since then, Israeli forces have sealed off northern Gaza and announced on the day of the US election, on 5 November, that its former residents would not return to their homes.

To the surprise of no honest and observant person paying attention. And with no consequences now or ever.

I fucking hate how corrupt and fundamentally dishonest the motherfuckers who were the LEAST evil choice in the election they spectacularly bungled are 🤬

And we don’t park our car in Harvard yard. We leave our bicycle at the Technical University of München meter.

Restating the original point as a rebuttal to a comment agreeing with it is an interesting choice 🤔

Tasteless bread with salty meat pellets is my favorite dish!

What’s taters, precious?

Every time I fall in! There’s a ledge right there rook! Even if you can’t swim it’s inches away! Just grab on!

My thoughts EXACTLY!

Apparently every stream in Thedas right now is 10 feet deep

“So what have you been looking into lately…other than glory holes?”

As wonderful as she is, I can no longer see Susie Dent’s name without thinking about this Jimmy Carr joke 😄

Peppered with tons of bad medical advice.

Remember that both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan needed to be occupied and forced to undergo this cultural shift.

Apartheid South Africa didn’t, though. They’re a much more recent and also more similar regime, and what it took was a combination of being shunned by the international community and internal resistance.

Just because the West has a huge violence hammer (band name) doesn’t mean that every rogue nation is a nail.

All these ‘useless’ things done by democrats are going to get demolished by Trump and then some more

I know. That’s why I’ve been pointing out that the American Fascist Party is much worse than the Dems. Which you would have noticed if you’d have bothered to read what I wrote before going on your tribalist tirades.

Keep vilifying democrats

Again, deserved criticism for inadequacy ≠ vilification. I save that for Republicans.

they were the best chance your country had at improvement

Least bad, but yeah. They fucked that right up though, by running a 1992 campaign where they pretend that the left doesn’t exist in the 21st century yet again.

Their awful strategy and arrogance cost them the election, not me.

Enjoy the MAGA hellhole that’s about to fuck everything up.

Right back at you once again. The people you’re defending caused that.

Your criticism of democrats is either dumb or/and disingenuous.

Nope. It’s accurate.

Straight up misinformation

Thanks for starting your paragraph with a section heading so I know what’s coming.

fixing the economy

The stock market and other indicators that the rich is doing well, you mean. The vast majority of regular people are doing worse today than before covid and Trump’s criminal mishandling of it demolished everything.

Biden administration forgave $175 billions in student loans

That’s an inflated number. The loan forgiveness has been a drop in the bucket compared to the full scope of the problem, means tested to hell and back, and with reams of paperwork required to even be considered. That’s not what the people wills.

lowered unemployment

According to cherrypicked numbers that only counts the newly unemployed and actively job-seeking.

The millions of people who have been unemployed for a long time and finally given up aren’t represented in the statistics you and your favorite demagogues are so proud of.

passed PACT act

CONGRESS passed that. After dozens of veterans camped outside the capital for days in protest of their inaction.

CHIPS act

Giant giveaway to exploitative corporations

infrastructure bill

Same, but with bragging about minimal climate change mitigation improvements while downplaying 10 million acres of new federal fossil fuel land leases.

expanded healthcare

Another case of the people wanting a mile, needing half a mile to barely get by without being forced to choose between death or lifelong debt, and getting an inch.

appointed Lina Khan on FTC

Admittedly a great thing done as a concession to the much more progressive people who suggested her. Same with Lauren McFerran at the NLRB. Doesn’t mean that Biden gets personal credit for their work.

There are multiple different reports about Biden administration’s work, if you care to look.

I have been. Seemingly unlike you, though, my sources have not been limited to those that are effectively pro-DNC propaganda outlets.

Of course the administration had to navigate through the real world challenges and they couldn’t manage to wave a wand and turn USA into utopia.

The eternal excuse of the incompetent and the corrupt. Nobody’s demanding perfection. You’re just far too easily impressed and/or blinded by tribalism.

But to ignore the work they’ve done

I’m not ignoring anything. Again, my standards are just higher than your abyssal ones.

You’re as misinformed as Fox News viewer.

Hey, I found this picture of you!

And now we have example of Brandolini’s law, “The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.”

Again with the projection. Your gish gallop is demagogue propaganda, not proof of anything.

Took you less than a minutes to be callously ignorant

Nah, I was just concise in my accurate description of affairs. Not my fault that your apologia is as verbose as it’s misleading.

took me 15 minutes to refute it

You refuted nothing. Only thing you were right about was Lina Khan, and that was one decision on the advice of better people in a 4 year period of D to C- governing.

Get informed or get fucked.

Right back at you, buddy.

YOU get the fuck out of here with your “criticizing one side while making clear that the other is much worse is the same thing as saying that both sides are the same” bullshit.

Just because Republicans are much worse doesn’t mean that Democrats are exempt from criticism when they’re not doing their job of faithfully representing the interests of the people. ESPECIALLY when it leads to Republicans winning elections.

Which is why insisting on negotiating with them is a bad idea.

Conversely, as democracy is perverted by moneyed interests, government will more and more resemble the will of the short sighted shareholders obsessed with the next quarterly gains. Leading to a useful idiot government selling the country to corporations through regulatory capture and privatization.

That’s what happened in the real world. Not the will of the broader populace, but the will of the few people who pay the politicians in charge of both parties.

Electing competent leaders always seemed like a much better plan

Agreed. If only there had been any to choose from. Instead you get a choice between “maintain the fire burning down your house and sometimes stoke it” and “throw gasoline on it” 😮‍💨
