Biden was going to piss off some group of people due to how polarizing the conflict is. I always thought he was doing pretty well even when it began.

His only sore spot seems to come from giving a lot of support to Israel, as they ARE one of our allies, and for us to just ignore that would look bad to our other allies. Especially after having a terrorist attack on their country by the Hamas. Geopolitics being complex beast.

But he has been advocating for civilian safety and making sure the water doesn't get turned off......

Can't say I would've done much better or anyone else here.

I know many are calling for a "permanent" ceasefire........but there was already a ceasefire before this. So, we would just be waiting until it gets "broken" again. Probably by another Hamas attack. Who ARE terrorists and want Israel eliminated altogether.

Let's not also forget if Trump was in charge then this situation would've been handled a lot less gracefully. Or even spiral out of control.

They keep voting till there's another speaker. EVEN IF IT TAKES DAYS OR WEEKS OR LONGER!

Reports coming in that McCarthy allies are trying to get Dem support.

No dice so far...

Sorry to hear she died. Still in agreement with others she should've retired years ago, but when you get to an old enough age your routine and job is what really keeps you going. My grandparents were the same way.

Looks like Newsom gets to pick a successor.

Mitch McConnel on the other hand.....better keep an eye on him.

Losing a chunk (5%) of their satellites in a couple months, sounds like they got roughly a 5 year expectancy, doesn't sound so good.

They would have to constantly be launching them. How expensive is this and can they realistically make a profit? I don't see it being easy.

I’ll admit it. I do listen to her songs.

There is no indoctrination, so this shit article can take a hike.

Funny thing is the counter protester outnumbered these hate crazed freaks by quite a lot.

Unfortunately, as long as the lights stay on, air conditioning keeps blasting, grocery store stays stocked, and entertainment remains flowing then people won't do anything.

The people who could do something would make them lose the next election, be labeled terrorists, or start get harping on "won't you think of the economy!"

Progress is being made, but drastic measures needed to happen decades ago. The question is now how quickly and badly will things get, and how well we can manage it....

I'm sensing a tend here....

On another note, how is it SO HARD not to sexually assault or RAPE anyone when you are a celebrity and/or rich?

Exactly.

I'd go one step farther and even say if they even had the same amount of attacks as other dogs, had no possible mental diseases, and all want to caring homes I would still put restrictions/ban on them.

They are just too large to handle, too big of a bite to brush off, and end up in dog attacks a lot. That's enough for me.

Same.

Although it's becoming close I register for Democrats cause of how bad things have gotten with Republicans.
They only got culture wars and conspiracy theories and downright malice now.

Helps me? NO. Tax cuts for the rich, taxes for me, and forcing their religion down my throat.

Helps others? NO. Targeting social security, restricted voting, and a whole lot of pulling up bootstraps

Helps kids? NO. Child labor laws weakened, free school lunched targeted, and don't say gay.

Helps nature? NO. Climate change "isn't real!!!", drill baby drill no matter what, and hostility to any "alternative/clean" solutions.

What future is there in that? Just a regressive and bastardization of the past. For what?!?! Just to try to bring back the "Good old days?"

With Dems there is at least a future, as troubled and imperfect as it might be. With Reps there isn't

Correct.

2 years and younger is recommended to not wear a mask for those reasons.

The parent might not realize it and trying to protect there baby, but this is a classic case of good intentions leading to unintended outcomes.
