Responsibility for thee, not for me.

President Joe Biden’s team is increasingly taking extraordinary steps to minimize disruptions from pro-Palestinian protests at his events by making them smaller, withholding their precise locations from the media and the public until he arrives, avoiding college campuses and, in at least one instance, considering hiring a private company to vet attendees.

First of all, this if for his campaign. Not Whitehouse briefings. At least the Dems at least treat the two differently.

Secondly, this is for disruptions to the campaign events, which you would expect it’s the campaign job to control the narrative if events. It’s one thing to say he’s not listening, it’s another to suggest they are ignoring it.

You guys do know Biden officially sent his top aides to Michigan to meet the American Muslim community, only to rejected a meeting by them? Look, I am all for not killing innocent, but if some are going to behave “it’s my way or no deal” without even considering any discussion, that’s just extremism talking.

If you don’t know, US support to Israel is ridiculous over weighted. Part post WW2 reimagined world order, part middle east power projection, and part protecting religious holy land. For the past 20 years, I was always surprised how taboo it was to dare criticize Israel in US politics and media. There is a lot of inertia and vague “obligation” to support the survivors of Holocaust, no questions asked. Because the Jewish people survived the Nazi, and we fight Nazi. Simple, morally simple.

Ironically, the Nazi of today are at the fronts of Ukraine and they are in the US, but we ignore acknowledging the world has changed, and instead focus on “antisemitism” debate which I think is a bit out of fashion. Dare I say, the Israel government is walking down the extreme right, nationalism path. Acting in ways their people’s history were so vehemently against.

And that’s the crux of it. Muslim community are ignoring or saying you don’t get credit for something happened a century ago, so today, Israel acting the bully when they can do so much better. While US and the West have ingrained and championed the saving of Jewish (from Nazi) was the right thing, why wouldn’t we keep saving. And we all know how hard it is to change a long held belief.

Full disclosure, what I see as acceptable end game is US finally start winding down military support to Israel, even if we’re are still publicly supporting them. Neither side likes that.

tl;dr - op news is about maintaining order at campaign events, headline is click-baity

tl;dr2 - sidetracked, the issue is about Israeli and Palestinine, which have their own perspective not easily changed.

This is going to hurt Biden’s chances. Stop trying to help the American people you old fossil. Go back eating ice cream or something, surely that’s won’t be controversial.

Too bad US is a republic, not a democracy. The founding fathers never intended it. Right guys? /s

Please say you forgot the /s, I wanted the fediverse to be at least above average.

From my tiny phone… It’s that Gandalf the grey struggling on hard times? Might need to cut the weed budget.

Two things that make Trump the worst and arguably traitor to the US. Just so you know where I stand.

1. He literally try to overturn an election and remain king.

2. He piled on $8,400,000,000,000 to national debt. $2.5T came from his stupid tax cut law, which were only off set in the billions of increased tariffs, and about $2.3 from discretionary spending increase, plain old Republicans in charge and spending out the wazzu. Saving the last one $3.6T for COVID relief and laws, which everyone and their grandma pointed out the potential for fraud and abuse, but no guard rails were put in place and DOJ is merely chasing back millions in peanuts only because some fraudster was too stupid to keep their mouths shut.

Circumventing the Constitution and exacerbating the wealth inequality, were real acts of degrading the US, and at best just not giving a damn about the American people. Compared to all the other crap he did that were more performative, while below the office if the President, these two things have long term effect of weakening the county that I love. He’s the worst President and the modern Republicans are only in for themselves.

LoL. So much for pretending “constitutional originalist” was legitimate.

Thanks, Biden!

Also to quote another report:
The EPA is proposing that ‘forever chemicals’ be considered hazardous substances

In June, the chemical manufacturer 3M said it would pay about $10 billion in lawsuit settlements to help detoxify water supplies across the country, after plaintiffs claimed the company’s firefighting foam and other products were responsible for contaminating tap water with PFAS.

In a leap forward, the new law supports independent repair and improves consumers’ access to affordable repair options, by introducing rules for reasonable prices for original parts as well as banning software practices which prevent independent repair and the use of compatible and reused spare parts.

Yes, good on you EU.

What are my remaining options of grocery store, that is social neutral at least? Wegmans?

“It is clear that Iran continues shipment of advanced lethal aid to the Houthis,” Kurilla said. “This is yet another example of how Iran actively sows instability throughout the region in direct violation” of “international law.”

Iran is supplying them.

Russians engineers are hardcore, they really go all out on systems validation.

What a case of “the beating will continue until morale improves.”

We’re going to see if the country is run by laws, or this country is run by power. Too many have fantasized about ruling by power. Too long the opposition just blindly believed the system would check itself in an honor system. This case, from the home state of a confederate general, will reveal which path US chooses.

We know. You don’t really care. Your voters don’t care.

Time to legalize sex work and drugs, and hope the next generation is hardened against this age old blackmail scheme.

The economy is booming, but you also need to negotiate with your employer and switch jobs if needed. Unless your boss automatically gave your 10%+ annual adjustment, you are slowly falling behind.
