    Whenever those “Behind closed doors, Biden is angry with Netanyahu” articles come out I’m like doubt

    Ngl I believe this one. Jill Biden is obviously no communist or pacifist, but I can totally believe she has the normal White Liberal disgust with seeing dead children every fucking day

      Dem leadership underestimates how much empathy people have, they have zero so how could they imagine people would care about the thousands of deaths?

        I think they believe that they can distract the populace with another spectacle and they'll forget that they were ever mad. They seem to think their focus tested libs represent the population at large.

          I feel like support for Palistine/Gaza is even stronger now then it was in October. Their strategy is failing.

            Yeah, they were hinging upon the populace being totally cool with a genocide, but they forget that 90% of their nastiest propaganda against their enemies is accusing them of committing genocides, so the people are still quite opposed to the idea. Their own manipulation of information has worked against them.

    She could stop arm shipments to Israel if she stopped cutting up Joe’s hot dogs for him.

      "Joe, listen here, Joe. Are you listening?"

      "Yes, ma'am."

      "Until you discontinue arm shipments to Israel - no more sliced dogs."

      "C'mon! The doggy-dog-dog-dog-doggy-dogs are right here on the plate. Waiting. I could have somebody else do it but it won't taste the same. It never does." And he almost tears up. "It never does."

    When reading headlines about things the political class are quietly "revealing", remember that someone somewhere decided to share this information as part of a PR strategy. A small team of people strategized about something and decided having the press run this story was a good idea and they got approval from someone in or near the cabinet (in this case). They decided what the political figure would "say" and/or created a highly edited version from that figure (or both). They then offered the story to a friendly access "journalist" from a major paper so they could do the quid pro quo of lying for the interests of power in order to gain or maintain clout.

    The general public is supposed to understand this as a look "behind the veil". That this is a particularly honest revelation of true feelings that will translate into something real and that good things are being attempted even if what you actually see happen is a genocidal bombing campaign fully funded and supplied by the United States.
