  • Last night he had to use his brain. Today he had to read teleprompters and smile. They are both work, but one is much more automatic. Loss of cognition that comes with age isn’t consistent, it ebbs and flows. We’re going to see more of this, I hoped that we would see a sober recognition of these facts today outside of the speech he did not write. The admission felt like they were pasting over what happened instead of acknowledging that blood is in the water. Yeah go vote but it sure would be nice to have a President with cognition instead of these two geriatric fellas.














  • Hasn’t changed US foreign policy for decades, so yeah probably not. From arming to giving Israel protection in the UN, the US is all in on Palestinian genocide. The US does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC because the court could be used for “political reasons”. This goes back to the creation of the ICC, which the Clinton admin helped to form but then vote against. Israel, Russia, Israel, China, Libya, and Qatar are the only countries who do not recognize the jurisdiction of the court. There is a through line on why they don’t: it is because of what they have already done and continue to do that would levy charges at the court. In fact the US has the American Service Members Protection Act to make cooperation with the court next to impossible.

    TL:DR; the US has been complicit in Palestinian genocide since Eisenhower.
