"DNC is acting like business as usual while Elon Musk organizes coup" - Democrat Strategist, Waleed Shahid

[Pull Up the Roots]

I Saw you in them threads riding bidens nuts first and then Kamala.....you were also were defending them like you knew them personally.....you in here mad because people holding the politicians accountable....whats wrong with you

I dont understand why weirdos like you dont get it...its the politicians who are supposed to attract voters....you in here trying to put more blame on the random guy on the streets of america then people with billions at their finger tips and a bad candidate like Trump as the guy the running against...This should have been a slam dunk but they messed it up so badly.

Stop talking politics....you always wrong and just keep babbling bullshyt

You're a joke. First, you lie. Then, when that doesn't work, you just double down with even more bullshyt. I fiercely opposed Biden. I supported Kamala, because she was a relatively unknown quantity compared to Trump and Biden. I pointed out reality while you sat around talking nonsense. You can't actually argue against *anything* I've said, and you know this, which is why you're inventing entire conversations that never happened.

And spare me the fake "holding politicians accountable" act. You're not holding anyone accountable, you're just running interference for the people who *actually* put Trump in office. Nobody is saying politicians don't need to earn votes, but you act like the millions of people who willingly supported Trump were helpless toddlers with no agency. That's a coward's argument, and it's exactly why you're in here lying through your teeth instead of defending it.

You came in this thread with the intention of lying and deflecting, not to actually discuss anything. So let's lay it all out: You're full of shyt, you got exposed, and now you're just throwing a tantrum. Maybe take your own advice and stop talking politics, because all you do is embarrass yourself. You lie and deflect to cover up for you lack of insight. And that's pathetic.

fukk Biden. Israeli settlers and security spent the summer terrorizing Palestinians in the West Bank burning down homes and killing kids, and he wasn't holding press conferences to condemn them. They form governments with wannabe Nazis like Ben Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich and Avi Maoz and we still bow to them. And push their propaganda. Tired of this.

Already made my decision. fukk Biden.

Biden shares a lot of blame here though too. His rhetoric has been nothing but harmful to Palestinians. He's spread unverified IDF claims, downplayed Palestinian civilian casualties, and advised against calls for a ceasefire/de-escalation. His state department has also tried to press the Qatari PM to tone down on Al Jazeera's reporting. This administration also ignores the various acts by the IDF which should trigger a Lehay law violation. It's not only about aid.

Rashida Tlaib is my congressional rep. And she's been catching hell from both Republicans and Democrats.

Biden is in office right now. People shouldn't be so concerned with protecting him from criticism.

He is also bad in his own right wrt Palestine/Israel.

White House Requests “Unprecedented” Loophole That Would Obscure Arms Sales to Israel.
The measure effectively gives Israel a check to purchase $3.5 billion in arms in complete secrecy.

I know how American politics work. Don't try to talk down to me. The Biden administration does have a choice here, and they're choosing to move ahead with building a new embassy on STOLEN land - land that the rightful owners have records proving their ownership.

Biden self-describes himself a Zionist. He can claim to support a Palestinian state, but his actions don't reflect this. He enables Israel's atrocities, and that speaks louder.

We're on the verge of another regional conflict all because of Israel. Biden is a fool.

I must have imagined receiving this last month, selecting uncommitted, and mailing it off.

Biden continues to show he stands for nothing. He's jumping out the window for fukking Zionists.

That's the thing. Biden isn't trying. He unconditionally supports Israel. What's worse than this? What's worse than bypassing congress to provide them with lethal aid?

It's wild how he manages to be somewhat worse on Israel than Reagan. It's not surprising, though.

Biden weakened his own chances with his unconditional support for Israel and lack of concern for Palestinians. His hostility towards students protesting on their behalf did him no favors either. Attacking the ICC on Israel's behalf hurts him too, as well as with our Security Council votes. I don't expect people who have lost entire families because of this conflict to be too enthused to vote for him again. That's a hard reality. I at least understand that much. Trump is definitely not going to be the answer either.

Yep. Biden is *not* powerless. He just doesn't care.

This is another avenue he could use to cut off military aid:

Subsection 620I(a) provides that:

These losers are doing everything thing they can to deflect from what's happening today, in 2024. fukk Hillary and fukk Biden. We're just not going to support your distortion of reality.

You and that bum @Seoul Gleou stayed co-signing those posts, but want to act different now, because I kept the same energy against Trump and can see beyond the lazy "it's always the Democrats at fault" paradigm you love to abuse.

The Democrats on the House Oversight Committee attempted to subpoena Elon Musk on Wednesday, only for Republicans to block the move, refusing to even entertain debate on having the tech mogul testify before Congress.

Ranking Member Gerry Connolly put forward a motion to subpoena the tech mogul, and the committee quickly devolved into chaos thanks to Republican outrage. Committee Chair James Comer first tried to shut down debate and table the motion upon requests from his Republican colleagues. Democrats on the committee protested, with Republicans calling them out of order.

Ultimately, Comer held a voice vote to table the motion, and ruled that Republicans voting “aye” were in higher numbers.

Then Connolly called for a formal roll call vote. It failed 19–20, with many Republican and Democratic members of the 47-person committee either not voting or not being in attendance. For some reason, among those who abstained was Democratic Representative Ro Khanna, whose district includes Silicon Valley and parts of the San Francisco Bay area.
Musk’s actions as part of his “Department of Government Efficiency” initiative have amounted to a takeover of key systems in the federal government, including the Treasury Department’s payment system and the personnel records of the three-million-strong federal workforce. His henchmen have also set up an illegal server in the Office of Personnel Management.

Musk has brought in young and inexperienced software engineers from his own companies with questionable security clearances to not only take control of sensitive government systems but even make substantial changes that aren’t easily tracked or alterable. These actions break the law and even violate the Constitution.

On Tuesday, House Democrats attempted to extract some measure of accountability from Musk, the world’s richest man, who bought his way into the Trump administration, and the effort failed. What is the next course of action?
