The only way Biden will care about Gaza is if he believes it could cost him the election in November. All the people who say we must vote for Biden no matter what are undermining the only leverage we have to end this before hundreds of thousands of innocent people die before our eyes.
What a dumb take. I'm not a pacifist. I believe there's a time and a place for violent resistence. But if you think it's appropriate to go around killing people for bad-think, you're just as evil as anything you're fighting against.
There is nothing Hamas could possibly do to bring in aid. In case you didn't notice, Israel controls the entire circumference of Gaza and outguns Hamas by 100 to 1. Israel and their enablers bear total responsibility for this slow motion catastrophe.
You know, if I had an extra two hours two sleep every day, I might finally wake up ready to go in the morning.
You and people like you are the reason cops have no accountablily in this country and this state, speaking as another Ohio resident.

I'm always skeptical of these cases. The FBI has a track record of targeting lonely dissaffected young men and intentionally radicalizing them until they can entrap them.

In all, the city spent $295 million to resolve lawsuits alleging more than 1,000 Chicago police officers committed a wide range of misconduct — including false arrest and excessive force — in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, according to WTTW News’ analysis.

Eh, read the article and read all their comments and tell me they're being reasonable. There's a certain kind of white person--and yes, race matters because black people have first hand experience of how awful the police are--who grew up being told that cops, firefighters and soldiers deserve our respect, admiration and honor. And no matter how much evidence to the contrary they are confronted with, they find a way to maintain that belief that cops are essentially good, honorable people. Yes, there is an occasional "bad apple;" yes, sometimes mistakes are made; yes, some cities have systematic problems in their police departments; but the police in their town are good honorable folks. Not perfect--nobody is, but they are doing their best to serve and protect in a dangerous world, and we should be grateful to have them out their protecting our families. When something happens, they always give the benefit of the doubt to the cops, never the citizen. They're like the willfully ignorant wife of an abusive step-father.
