Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

The Biden administration has no plans to change its policy toward Israel after the ally’s forces killed seven humanitarian aid workers.

It’s the latest example of the United States criticizing Israel’s conduct of the war against Hamas while remaining reluctant to use its leverage to force a change. Biden has stood with Israel as it aims for the military defeat of Hamas, resisting calls from progressives and pro-Palestinian voices to condition military aid or impose other restrictions. Such moves would break, rather than bend, the relationship with Israel, the administration argues. And they would end any sway the U.S. has with Israel over protecting civilians.

That has caused fissures within the Biden administration. “It’s just rinse and repeat with the Israelis. The American political system can’t or won’t draw a real line with them and that is regrettable,” said a senior U.S. official.

Biden does, for the most part, what he says he's going to do. He was raised in the age of Israel is a golden child that can do no wrong, never let anything hurt em. And that's what he does. As they genocide an entire nation, the US funds it and says "we don't see anything wrong with this" with a straight face. They either believe the world and American voters are actual idiots, or they have no respect the world and American voters. No other option. You know what you're going to get with Biden, more of this until there's nothing more to discuss. Talking about the Native American tribes sort of went out the window when the US killed them all and sent them to Oklahoma to die. Negotiating land and rights treaties didn't really matter. Same here. It won't really matter when all the Palestinians are dead. That's when Israel wants to discuss it.

Trump... He is owned. He will be the strongest supporter of whoever gives him more money that week. Which means something could happen as long as someone has deep pockets. And if not, he'll do the same thing as Biden does... Until the country implodes. And then the 2 sides can go their separate ways. Realistically, I see 8 or 10 little broken pieces in an EU style. That way the PR can say there was no fracture. But in all reality the laws and lifestyle will be completely different in the People's Christian Republic of Texas versus New York City.
