Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Biden never said there would be a ceasefire on Monday. He said he there was hope to have one then.
Some how naive people believe that a country that would attack the US would listen to Biden.

Al these mooks here acting like Biden can wave his hand and instantly stop Israel are ignorant at best or political operators at worst.

He can stop selling Netanyahu weapons. He can stop going to bat for Netanyahu at the UN.

That might not stop the genocide, but we'd no longer be party to it.

Hope in one hand, shit in the other and see what gets filled first.

but surely everyone understands that there is nothing that the "Worlds Most Powerful Nation"®™ could possibly do in this... unfortunate situation.

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Hands are tied and covered in shit because it’s an election year

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

I am disgusted to be human right now.

If anything that is all the more reason to do what Dem voters are demanding of Biden.

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

right now they believe that likely Democratic voters are all out of options. they are courting some other constituency.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago

All the more reason they shouldn't be in charge anymore...

It didn't work in 2016, and only worked in 2020 because people believed Biden's promises and trump was actively in office.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Guys, what more could Biden do then making empty promises that run counter to pretty much every real life fact?

Now let's all forget about this and focus on Bidens next promise instead of the long list of things that turned out to be bullshit.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

This wouldn't be a problem if Trump's son-in-law had solved peace in the Middle-Easrlt like he promised
