Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Don't know how much the information is novel, but the fact that there is evidence that whitehouse intelligence told Biden "Israel is bombing indiscriminately (warcrimes)" is legally damning, while "I dont know the situation, but I support Israel beliefs" is unbelievably ignorant, but not directly attributable to willful participation in genocide.
“Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence that they were legitimate military targets,”
Bad, however using the term "indiscriminate bombing" to describe this is hyperbolic. "Without solid intelligence" could mean they've been told by 10 people that Hamas is inside a certain building, but they haven't actually confirmed the info before bombing something every nation does, unfortunately. "Indiscriminate Bombing" implies WW2 level mass carpet bombing of residential centers, which atm is simply not happening in Gaza.
“As many as 80% of the buildings in northern Gaza, where the bombing has been most severe, are damaged or destroyed, a higher percentage than in Dresden.”
-Wall Street Journal in December
Biden also said it three months ago, back then people wrote it up to a gaffe. Now we know it was a freudian slip.
The article not only confirms that he knew, but that he knew far earlier than most people think.
