    Exactly, Trunp would be purging these people from his administration, and wouldn’t be holding Israel back at all, if anything Trump might send troops in or order some strikes himself just to feel like he’s partipating in the slaughter.

    Biden has shown that he’s movable on issues whereas Trump would just take a sharpie to those issues, or worse, far worse.

      “movable on issues”

      he took office and immediately backtracked on campaign promises firing staffers, not defending healthcare, told rail workers they did not have a right to ask for better, and not to mention the rest and the recent

      campaign promises that went against his and his vice’s whole career so big surprise there

        The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers says:

        “We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers."

        And I hate to tell you this, but if you want a president who doesn’t back down on any campaign promises, you will never, EVER be satisfied. Because realistic promises don’t inspire voters & win elections, optimism does (at least for Dems, GOP prefers fear)

      How is he movable? All he’s done is send more weapons and spread disinformation/propaganda even israel said were lies…

      Joe Biden being the one doing it just causes liberals to protest less than If trump was doing it. Same thing with Covid, Biden laughed at masks and took his off while sick and has done nothing to stop the pandemic that is infecting over 2 million people in the US a day and killing 1,000 a day. That’s multiple 9/11s a week and yet liberals act like it’s nothing cuz it’s not trump in charge anymore.

        … has done nothing to stop the pandemic…

        Bullshit.

        A year in, experts assess Biden’s hits and misses on handling the pandemic:

        Goal 1: Restore trust with the American people- Experts say on this front, the Biden administration has not made much progress, although they acknowledge how challenging a problem it is.

        Goal 2: Mount a safe, effective, comprehensive vaccination campaign- His administration made huge strides in expanding vaccine supply and access, experts say.

        Goal 3: Mitigate spread through expanding masking, testing, treatment, data, workforce and clear public health standards- This is an area where the administration has fallen short

        Goal 4: Immediately expand emergency relief and exercise the Defense Production Act- The president scored an early win signing the American Rescue Plan into law- “this administration in particular has been quite skillful with respect to its use of the DPA.”- Still, “the main message here is too little, too late on masks and testing,” From Turner’s perspective, the current supply problems have less to do with underutilized federal authority and more to do with the virus itself

        Goal 5: Safely reopen schools, businesses and travel, while protecting workers- Schools continue to be a contentious issue the Supreme Court blocking the White House’s attempt to require vaccination or tests for employers with 100 or more workers.

        Goal 6: Protect those most at risk and advance equity, including across racial, ethnic and rural/urban lines- The administration has been “moderately successful” on this front, says Benjamin of the APHA.

        Goal 7: Restore U.S. leadership globally and build better preparedness for future threats.- This “is certainly an area where the administration promised big but has fallen short so far,” she adds.

        You can criticize the Biden COVID response, which seems to be a mixed bag. But you absolutely cannot say he’s done nothing. And he’s certainly moved us in the right direction, unlike Trump who was the single largest driver of coronavirus misinformation.

      Movable? Why the do you think his staffers are quitting? Genocide Joe has no plans to change course precisely because people like you support Genocide.

      After bombing 20k people he bypasses Congress to send more bombs to israel. He is not movable. He is a pure Zionazi.

      Israel tried to get Trump to start a war with Iran when he was in power, and Trump didn’t. There is little chance that Trump would do much worse than Biden.

              your links indicate that the aid has not been restored and he hasn’t said shit about a Palestinian state since 2022, but he did just say he is a zionist.

                aid has not been restored

                Yes it fucking has “President Joe Biden has restored hundreds of millions of dollars of UN funding that was cut under President Donald Trump.”

                Hasn’t said shit about Palestinian state since 2022

                Yes he fucking has. “Biden Says a ‘Real’ Palestinian State Must Come After War” - 11/16/23

                JFC this shit is so easy to Google.

                  your link does not say it has been fully restored, because it hasn’t. and coming in during a genocide to say"when you’re done we should talk" is not championing the Palestinian people.

                    This was your original statement. I have demonstrated beyond a doubt that it is absolutely false.

          OK so? Biden is actively killing thousands of Palestinian children. Trump cut the Iran deal but he didn’t star a war like israel wanted. Trump withdrew from Afghanistan too.

          When you follow the money it looks like Genocide Joe is by far the favorite choice for israeli lobbies.

          Pro-israel donor recipients.

          1 Biden, Joe (D) President $3,753,244

          2 Perdue, David (R-GA) Senate $1,053,098

          3 Trump, Donald ® President $894,032

          Israel really loves Genocide Joe and we can see why. He will even bypass Congress to continue their genocide.

            actively killing

            No. Biden is aiding and abetting Israel which is terrible, but there are zero US troops in Gaza, and Biden is not directing Israel’s Gaza invasion.

            Trump withdrew from Afghanistan too.

            Umm ok, if you’re considering all the conflicts of the world, then the genocide of the Climate Crisis is the most devastating. You gonna fuckin tell me how much better Trump is than Biden on climate?
