I see people mulling over whether to support Joy Reid. I see The Daily Beast has already condemned her.
The problem with being a liberal since Franken ? When the right throws a little bacon grease on one of us, we eat our own.
THAT is how they're killing our best soldiers.

I voted for him once to stop a coup and keep his word on covid.
He left every last insurrection leader walking and threw us all under the covid bus.
Then he started mass slaughtering children.

This is not hyperbole.
Palestinians in occupied territory have a legal right to resist occupation, even with force.
Israel does not have the right to defend threats that eminate from territories it occupies.
Other states of course have a right to defend against Israel.
Palestine has a right to defend itself
Lebanon has a right to defend itself
Yemen has a right to defend itself
Syria has a right to defend itself
Iran has a right to defend itself
& under international law, Israel DOES NOT have a right to defend itself from territory it occupies

This is why Trump *was* worth impeaching in early 2019.
This is how he was not "practically self impeaching"
This is how he *was* above the law the whole time.
This is why we allow witnesses at impeachment trials.
This is why we don't keep 137 seditionists in Congress.
A Democrat wins a major race, for Governor or Senate, in 2022, in a state controlled by “if a Democrat wins it must be fraud” Republicans, and the state certifies that the Republican won, because, you know, fraud.
We all understand there’s a good chance this happens, right?

This is really warped.
The Democrats had a majority House + Senate from 2021-22 and could have imposed amendment 14, section 3 on 147 seditious Republicans, including Johnson (Cori Bush started the process - it still sits) to barr them from govt svc. They did not.
Now this.
Mike Johnston is one of the most far-right Speakers in US history, but 163 Democratic congressmembers voted to rescue him from being ousted. He's an election-denier who tried to criminalize homosexuality, but since he funds Israel's genocide, Dems saved him.

It's getting harder and harder to argue that Biden's handling of Israel-Gaza is simply him constrained by the difficult politics of the moment. Instead, it's looking more and more like a deliberate, and baffling, choice.
