Declassified documents show that former presidents like Reagan and JFK were on extreme cocktails of drugs.

Trump famously had that pic showing his oval office desk drawer full of Ephedrine (the good EU kind, not pseudo)

I would be utterly shocked if Biden was drug free.

But does it matter? Biden's energy level and coherence were well above expectations.

It's hard to imagine what it feels like to watch your newborn baby starve to death.

It's hard to imagine the desperation, the sorrow, the helplessness.

It's hard to imagine the rage, the impotence, the desire for justice and revenge.

Its hard to imagine that Hamas will ever run out of new recruits.

I think Joe Bidens role should be in the cell next to Netanyahu.

But more realistically, I think Biden should step out of the way and let the international courts do their job.

I'm doing the pragmatic thing: trying to pressure the Biden administration to change course on Gaza, because if he stays on his current course then a Trump victory is assured.

You are doing the desperate, ineffective thing: Voter shaming. Its counter-productive and you should stop, you are only hurting your cause.

And let's be real, this presidential election does not matter much to the Palestinians. If the current blockade stays in place there will be mass death from starvation. The next 6 months are critical for the survival of the Gazan people, it is cowardly and unethical to keep your mouth shut for political reasons.

I dont know what you mean by "what's coming to them". Right now it seems like there are no consequences for their actions, so nothing is coming to them.

I believe Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, and other military leaders have committed grave war crimes. They should be tried in international court and given a life sentence.

I also believe the Israeli state owes a gigantic financial debt for the destruction of Gaza's infrastructure. Israel has systemically destroyed water treatment, electricity production, schools, hospitals, residential buildings, etc. and they should rebuild it all.

But I do not believe violence is part of the answer. We need permanent ceasefire, we need truth and reconciliation, we need justice. Any post-ceasefire violence is unacceptable, whether it be against Israelis or Palestinians.

My position: Genocide is unacceptable.

DNC position: Unlimited free weapons to Israel, veto all the ceasefires, spread the worst of Israeli propaganda.

It seems negotiations have broken down :(

JDAM-equipped bombs hit a target with an error range of only 20 feet.

Israel has full air control, as well as numerous spy satellites to monitor Gaza in real time.

I believe the attacking force does care exactly where their strikes hit. This is deliberate.

People in northern Gaza have described in detail about their decline.

In the first month or two, they ate the remaining food and slaughtered the animals. Then they ate animal feed for months. When that was gone, they ate bird seed. Now with nothing left, they eat grass.

When it's only grass, people start to die. Children and elderly first. And that is the stage of famine we are at now.

People can survive a long time on very low food. But they can't survive forever.

Its hard to think of anything more heroic than going overseas to run a charity kitchen in a famine-stricken warzone.

And not all Gazans are Hamas, but the death toll is over 30k and people are starting to starve to death.
