Oh no that is almost 100% why she said it the way she said it. I understand the reasons for the politician speak but I saw that tweet and was like eh she maybe couldve said that better.

I saw that chart the other day and was floored by how low the casualty count was. Obviously we want that even lower and there are way too many injuries and trauma caused by this conflict, but I really thought we were looking at like 2x to 5x those casualties over that time frame.

Thinking of that tweet Tony posted the other day showing over 50% support of Liz Cheney amongst democrats.

I know Warren's statement is hedging but it's still legit in the top 10% of politician responses so lol. Maybe I'm just desperate.

Warren is probably my favorite active politician so maybe Im just holding her to higher standards than I should haha. Like I said I didnt mind it as much as Tony did (and even he says he didnt hate it). Just thought it could be slightly better. I agree it is way better than standard Democrat response and obviously not even in the same realm as standard Republican response.

Love it when Trump starts whining about the GOP

Had Mike Pence had the courage to send the Electoral College vote back to states for recertification, and had Mitch McConnell fought for us instead of being the weak and pathetic leader he is, we would right now have a Republican President who would be VETOING the horrific Socialistic Bills that are rapidly going through Congress, including Open Borders, High Taxes, Massive Regulations, and so much else!

You don't have to abandon. You can say "I condemn these human rights violations and no longer support you if you take these actions. Your choice."

America has never been that principled, but yeah

Closed meeting so "China is the source" isn't the greatest, but honestly there's no reason given the past to believe this isn't the case, especially as the State Department refused to comment.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-says-u-s-blocked-joint-u-n-statement-on-mideast-11621199977

Allegedly the US is the sole holdout on the 15 member UN Security Council blocking a joint statement from the Security Council, apparently a call for a ceasefire.

I keep having to hedge with words like "apparently" because damn if it isn't hard to find US media outlets talking about this and I can't be bothered right now to research which foreign media outlets are on the level and which aren't.

Joe Biden has reportedly signed a deal to give a 735 million dollars in weapons to Israel.

fuck Joe Biden

edit with source:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/05/17/power-up-biden-administration-approves- [space] 735-million-weapons-sale-israel-raising-red-flags-some-house-democrats/

Congress was supposedly informed on May 5th, although some have reported being surprised to hear about it this passed weekend.

There are no plans to cancel this, that I can see.

Both Sherrod Brown and Jon Testor signed on to it and theyre the two most vulnerable dems outside of Manchin.

So basically fuck those other twenty cowards is the point Im trying to get at.
