    FTA:

    “Trump leads Biden in hypothetical match-ups both with and without third-party options on the ballot in states including Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, according to fresh polling.”

    So that would be a 314 to 224 Trump win.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Trump leads Biden in hypothetical match-ups both with and without third-party options on the ballot in states including Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, according to fresh polling.

    Trump has cemented his status as the front-runner for the GOP nomination, crossing the 50 percent threshold in a recent Iowa survey conducted by pollster J. Ann Selzer.

    Trump has yet to see any drop-off in support even as he testified in a New York City fraud trial, has prompted backlash and comparisons to dictators for his rhetoric and campaign proposals, and as he continues to face dozens of criminal charges.

    “What I worry about, you guys, from a Biden standpoint is: These are the kinds of things you get when people are starting to rationalize their votes,” Axelrod said on the “Hacks on Tap” podcast.

    Biden has racked up millions in donations at recent high-dollar fundraisers as he builds a campaign war chest that will be used to hammer Trump on the airwaves for much of 2024 on his record on abortion, democracy, the climate, guns and more.

    “Trump has largely escaped any media scrutiny or attention about his ’24 policy agenda because he is mostly in one of five courtrooms being scolded,” Barreto wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

              What’re the odds that the IDF is using the ol’ “Any military-age male near a terrorist is a terrorist” accounting trick the US uses (used? I think we still use it) to drop our collateral damage rate from drone strikes from the 15% it actually is, to an incredibly improbable claimed 0.2%?

                Point is even the most biased source in their favor still says majority of who israel is killing are civilians. That ratio only goes up from there with other sources.

          Subsidizing their genocide, for one. But that, unfortunately, is a widely popular position both amongst US politicians and the general population, and is unlikely to change in the near-future regardless of who is in office.

                Yes I’m well aware of that. I’m asking whose genocide we are subsidizing. It’s clearly not the Israeli’s since we are giving money to them.

      Republicans have tripped over themselves to express the biggest support for Israel too, and have enthusiastically funded them all along. So, what?

          Not sure how that would be confusing. If you don’t know what I mean by tripped over themselves, I mean how some Republicans in congress enthusiastically tried to outdo each other in declaring how much they support Israel.

          That’s just plain incorrect. Republicans funded Israel for decades, in case you forgot. One, I know you’re eager to blame Biden, but nobody is condoning was Israel is doing to civilians except some extremist republicans like Lindset Graham. Also, Congress allocates funds, not the President. The Republicans held up a bill to do so, but only because they wanted to use it to negotiate about the southern US border.

          Condoning the war? Let’s see what Republicans are saying.

          DeSantis, a distant runner-up to Trump in national polling, said Israel should use “overwhelming force” so that “Hamas terrorist infrastructure and networks are eradicated from the Earth.”

          Lindsey Graham:

          Appearing on Fox News on Tuesday night, Graham asserted that “we are in a religious war here, I am with Israel. Whatever the hell you have to do to defend yourselves; level the place.”

          US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has sought to justify Israel’s targeting of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, saying, “Did the American public worry about how many people were dying to destroy Tokyo and Berlin?”

          Haley made it her mission while she was Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations to staunchly defend Israel. She said the U.S. must stand with Israel as they “finish” Hamas.

          Israel should gain full administrative authority over Gaza, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson said in an interview with WPR’s “Central Time,” with Arab states absorbing more Palestinian refugees. “I think at some point in time, Israel is just going to have to basically dictate and have jurisdiction over these lands, if they ever expect to have peace,” the Republican senator said.

          Pence:

          In an interview with Fox News, the former vice president said Israel has “no choice but to crush Hamas.”
          “We will stand with Israel when this ground assault begins, and we will stand with Israel every day through the hard fighting and loss that will occur until they achieve an outright victory,” Pence said.

          Christie:

          “Under my presidency, America will restore the deterrence Biden has foolishly given away,” he said.
          In an interview, Christie blasted Trump for praising Hezbollah. “Only a fool would give comments that could give aid and comfort to Israel’s adversary in this situation,” Christie said.

          Tim Scott:

          “Americans should stand shoulder-to-shoulder, back-to-back, with no daylight with Israel,” Scott said of the Israel-Hamas war.
          South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott likewise slammed Ramaswamy for, at one point, saying he hoped the U.S. could eventually reduce aid to Israel.

          Republican senators want to withhold taxpayer funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East until the State Department can prove the organization is not connected with Hamas or extremist activity against Israel.

          I can think of maybe 5 Republicans out of 200 that aren’t awful. It’s a pretty safe bet. If they weren’t “bad” they wouldn’t be Republicans.

                  I’ve heard Biden say Israel still has his support but needs to chill the fuck out. I haven’t heard anything near as strong from any Republican. So, even if you’re voting JUST on the Palestine issue, Biden is still marginally better than anyone else running with a chance to win. I really don’t see how this is so hard for people to understand.
