people on here apparently need to learn a lesson most of us learn in elementary school, which is that it’s fucking rude to correct people on zero stakes things and doing so leads rightfully to social ostracism

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

“Oh, Trump managed to achieve peace without full 100% ethnic cleansing! Not great, but better than Genocide Joe!” amounts to basically packing up the goal posts and moving them to the moon.

And yet, folks can’t resist, because they hate other Democrats more than they hate Trump.

If you’re tempted to say something nice about Trump just as an opportunity to shiv Biden, please don’t. If Biden had achieved this “deal” in the summer of 2024 every online advocate of Palestine would have screeched bloody murder.

"And so for two years the worst people in the world have played out the script that was written on October 7, and everything is worse for the Palestinians. Everything is worse for the Iranians, and everything is worse for Americans, too..."

@drfarls.bsky.social nails it.
And Now Everything is Worse - Lawyers, Guns & Money
It’s two years since October 7, and everything is worse. All told, Hamas killed some 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took about 250 more captive. It was the bloodiest day in Israel’s history...

Joe Flacco is two years older than Mark Sanchez. Sanchez started a fight with a 69 year old man and lost. Flacco will start behind the NFL's worst offensive line.

They are not the same.
