"Forming a task force" man, go fuck yourself. Do these assholes even know what's going on over there?
Fucking dicks
Dems since the 1970s: "We need a two state solution"
Palestinians: "We're applying for statehood"
Dems: "No"
By "two state" we meant "Israel and Israel".
10 years from now the task force report comes out. "It was a genocide somebody should have stopped it. Let's form a new task force to figure out who was at fault."
The cartoonish evil is a feature, not a bug. The dems have held massive control over who's in power for decades. I don't care anymore if it's evil or stupid to field candidates guaranteed to turn the population right, it leads to the same outcome. They gain enough from having a big persecutin', government-controlling daddy like Trump that it doesn't matter, they have zero intention to change.
"Oh noes, we can't do all the things you poors and empathetic humans want, don't you know Trump is in charge?" (Something Hakeem Jefferies has basically said, referencing the American people making a "mandate" for Trumpism.)

So our choices are Nazi's or genocidal maniacs. Fuck the DNC.
No they're both genocidal maniacs, one also dabbles on the homefront.
What kind of a messed up headline is that?
Serious question, what is wrong with the headline? The article is only 4 paragraphs long and the headline basically sums what is written in the article. Id get it if you thought the article itself was shitty but I stared at the headline long enough without seeing anything wrong so I gotta ask, what am I missing?
The headline reads as if by voting against the embargo, they were recognizing a Palestinian state. Of course, with a bit of general knowledge about the situation, it should be clear that that is not the correct reading.
It's an example of "headlinese", the odd rules used to shorten headlines. It's at least decades old and comes from newspapers where space was limited. In this case the comma subs in for "and".
That said, I agree it's old-fashioned and confusing, and wouldn't be missed if news sites collectively agreed to stop doing it.
It just hit me that I use “headlinese” in pull request titles at work.

The only time Democrats and Republicans in congress can put aside differences is when it's to support Israel or fuck over progressive candidates.

Do you guys think Jeffrey Epstein was the first or the only guy using videos of United States politicians engaging in pedophelia to blackmail them for Israel?
Do you think Tom Artiom Alexandrovich knew Epstein, or his associates/handlers in Israel?
This is why people say during elections that it doesn't matter which partythey vote for
It made it easier for the Nazis to walk in the front door.
There's bipartisan support to keep arming fascists. The nazis are calling from inside the house.
I think the point is that there's Nazis and there's flamboyant Nazis. Aye is pronounced the same on both sides of the aisle, as evidence by their voting records.
To the surprise of no one.
What about republicans? How did they vote?
Exactly the same as the Democrats. Uniparty strikes again!
Given that it was an internal DNC vote... they didn't
Democrats will negotiate with anyone except the victims of a genocide.
Not true. They will negotiate with anyone wealthy, powerful, and who donate to them like the AIPAC. It just so happens that the victims of genocide tend to not fall into that group.
Oh, so now they can stop things. I see.
