Turns out, it’s surprisingly hard to spend government cash.

    Even as he tried to bring an end to the genocide in gaza.

    Um how exactly? He has never even admitted anything close to it actually being a genocide.

      Biden absolutely should have recognized it as a genocide. And had the US not veto all the United Nations resolutions against it. Just because he didn’t recognize that it was a genocide doesn’t mean he did nothing. That’s just more of the false narrative that helped Donald Trump get elected.

      Biden absolutely should have been clear on that. He absolutely should have spoken out more against it. But if you are surprised that America’s top Diplomat was diplomatic with a black hole Middle East US Ally. Even overly diplomatic. Well that’s on you. We should have never been apart of the theft of Gaza along with Britain and the first place. But that’s been long decided. We should have cut ties with Saudi Arabia a decades ago. America falls short on a lot of metrics. Ironically including the metric system. But that doesn’t mean we cannot acknowledge when they trying to do the right thing even if it’s not the way we want them to.

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!
