Reminds me of the border crackdown that took place after Biden got smoked by Trump at the debate.
Biden was a bad president.

hamas/israel ceasefire deal reached. amazing how suddenly the biden admin proved capable of doing it, 5 days before handing over the keys. i wonder how many people died unnecessarily because of this politicking?
i can only read part 1 of that. nothing else visible, and i presume trump's hyperactive pilot fish wants me to make an account and log on to see the rest. got a screenshot?uziq wrote:

wow
'better late than never' in the morally imperative sense that it stops people getting murdered (although israel have insta-gibbed another 70 palestinians today with yet more missile barrages while prevaricating over the ceasefire announcement).ceasefire: seen some flaccid "thank you biden" posts on social media for ceasefire. the only good thing that could be said about it is better late than never, but it's bittersweet seeing it happen just now.

Haven't you guys learned by now that defending the Muslims will blow up in your face. No matter what we do here there or anywhere, we will still get Muslims driving trucks into crowds of innocent people.

According to Castro they were two sides of the same coin.uziq wrote:
it has finished the reputation of the democrats (insofar as they had one, anyway). liberals at least consoled themselves through the trump years that they were the 'good' guys, the moral and law-abiding ones, the ones who upheld norms and decorum. of course, nobody is naive enough to think that they're not as corrupt and cynical as any other law-school/MBA/politico types -- but nonetheless, they stood for a certain sort of besuited establishment taste, easily decrying all the "grab her by the pussy" stuff as being beyond the pale. they were the normal party, not the MAGA cult.
well, they kind of lose their moral high ground when sponsoring an actual genocide. i find it really hard to see how the dems will recover from this, reputationally. they've alienated the young base and a large chunk of the 'global south' minorities they were increasingly leaning on for their 'enlightened' vote.
It seems the Biden team did nothing at all for 15 months, only pressuring Hamas, applying no pressure to "my friend Bibi"uziq wrote:
but actually, in a sense, it would almost have been better if biden's team had left this entirely to the incoming trump administration. because doing this as a parting gift just as they vacate the white house casts the previous few years of their inaction and foot-dragging into an appalling light.
Thats the funny thing, people only remember the bad stuff.it is without any sense of exaggeration the one single thing that casts the entire biden presidency in disgrace. everything else they've worked towards in the last 4 years doesn't matter a damn.

Em no, I'm sympathetic to people anywhere who are subjected to unwarranted violence.uziq wrote:
it all just reinforces the permanent suspicion one has that dilbert's crocodile tears for dead palestinian children are only shed because it's the jews doing all the rapine and genociding. fascism as practiced by white europeans is actually something of an armchair interest of his. almost all of his sympathy for muslims is performative or instrumentalised as part of some petty personal vendetta against tony blair or jews.

Wouldn't it have been interesting if FDR had taken the same attitude to the Nazis as Biden took with the Zionists?uziq wrote:
