"After horrific Hamas attacks on Israel, Biden acts presidential while Republicans act like fools"

https://apple.news/A4v-G2cR6QZOKM9Iefhs3cA

As Republicans scramble to use the horrific Hamas terrorist attack on Israel as a means of knocking down President Joe Biden, I have a humble suggestion for them: Maybe get your house – and quite literally the House – in order before you attempt such low-brow politicking.
There was certainly a time when an American political party, in the wake of a devastating attack on an ally, would lean into national unity, when that party’s own political instincts would keep its members from hurling lies and casting aspersions at the President


Love that our President continues to be a leader, all day every day, despite the ding dongs on the right!

But prioritize their whining behind closed doors over slaughter overseas and the 18th of November. They’re counting on groundhogs day, democrats bailing them out then blaming Dems for whatever. Then going home and shaking hands with stupid people. Ya have to be pretty sick to think that’s all life is.

And yet, my governor, who wants to be president, ragged on him about his lack of solidarity with Israel. Did he see the same speech as I did? I’ve learned not to get upset with these people who delight on constantly tearing us apart. I just won’t let them get the best of me. I just wish the media would stop giving them air while not fact checking them and calling them out

I don't think that the Republicans are acting.

He said the same thing about the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Recently he said "When I become president again I'll end the war in one day," a Ukrainian general replied,"Why are you waiting? People are dying! Tell us how to end it now!"

being so dysfunctional they don't even have a Speaker.

But then, these MAGA types haven't ever really had a clue about anything but pulling everything down around our knees. Certainly they seem to have no interest in actually governing the country.

And we need to be helping Ukraine and Israel now to eradicate Hamas. And working behind the scenes to make sure we end up with something where both Israelis and Palestinians can have something positive.

but, if the proverbial Aliens ever land on the Whitehouse lawn, please, please don't let the Republicans be
the first ones to approach them.
They'd insult them, tell them what to do, piss off the whole alien fleet and insist they all go to church...(or Florida)

All the roads to the funding and support of the Hamas lead to Turkey and Russia then back to Trump. Republicans are again covering for him and trying to distract people and MAGAs from this

Biden is doing what a president should do.

I'm betting Republicans lost some Jewish 2024 votes.
