I wish someone would get the balls to tell Biden that he keeps forgetting that he's already proven himself a dick, and that he doesn't have to keep showing us.

Yes as redundant as it is obvious.

He and everyone around him are such ghouls.

My longing for transparency is dented by business as usual so casually uncaring in the open. Once upon a time, they at least bothered to hide.

Classic pride before the fall.

The images out of Gaza this morning are especially gut wrenching.

Curses on Joe Biden and all the mewling misfits in congress.

I may hope for that fall, and wish it hard, but the USA's elite has sufficient assets to fall way too slowly.

No words left to describe this hateful, insane killer. I feel sick and so helpless.

Just got an email from a friend saying the exact same thing. It is maddening to not be able to make change. I have a post coming out tomorrow of another brave soldier acting and speaking with courage.

I saw the soldier who is on a hunger strike. Aaron Bushnell's terrible sacrifice made no difference. I would stand outside the White House and protest every day if I lived over there. Even if Aaron had been in front of the White House, though, it wouldn't have mattered to Biden et al. They seemed like fairly normal people, but they're not, they're monsters.

Change will not happen suddenly. Never does. The opposition to the Vietnam War took years to build. I think we are in a similar situation. I do find it interesting that within a few weeks on Aaron Bushnell's sacrifice this young man takes such a public career-ending stand. You can bet he is not alone. Instead of running him out of the military he should be made head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The people in charge are corrupt and irredeemable. That's what it takes -- Republican or Democrat -- to rise to such power. They will not and never will save us. That is up to us. Our job is to make the machine inoperable.

By the end of the Vietnam War, discontent on the streets had infected the military ranks so much commanders -- rightfully -- feared their ranks. Numerous officers and sergeants were fragged by their soldiers. The command structure began to crumble and the US had to flee Vietnam with its tail between its spindly legs.

I occasionally write about it so that I only feel 99.9% useless. I'm as worried by those comfortable being 100%.

I'm active on Instagram in support of Palestine, but I'm exposed to the horrors close up. Sometimes I can only glance at the reports they're so brutally heartbreaking. And for all everyone's efforts, it hasn't made any difference with these genocidal devils. I try not to cry.

Good on you! I've seen enough to make up my mind so I don't follow it bloodily anymore.
