Biden Announces Great Deal Where We Send $100 Million to The Fucking Gazans But Get Zero of Our Hostages Back
The Bee. I thought this was just a joke. It's not. This happened.
Biden really struck a deal to send Hamas $100 million and get zero hostages out.
President Biden has placed a condition on humanitarian aid going into the Gaza Strip, as Israel said Wednesday it will allow Egypt to deliver limited supplies for civilians. The aid will be the first assistance given to Gaza since Israel imposed a punishing 10-day siege on the territory. The announcement to allow water, food and other supplies happened after President Biden visited Israel Wednesday hoping to prevent a wider conflict in the region. During his one-day visit to Israel, Biden announced $100 million in humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank but said if Hamas confiscates the aid "it will end."Complete bullshit. Yes, the aid will be delivered to "civilians," and then immediately picked back up from them by Hamas representatives. Does Biden really think that he can monitor this? He can't even keep track of his bowel movements. Yesterday, as the bait-and-switch speech was going on, I thought naively: Maybe he's bringing up Ukraine because he knows the lefties have decorated their twitter profiles with Ukraine flags, so if he can link Israel to Ukraine, he can bring his radical left allies on board. How stupid I was. He wasn't bringing up Ukraine to increase support for Israel. He was bringing up Israel to increase support for Ukraine. I've been softly supportive -- or at least not opposed -- of aid to Ukraine. But after this disgusting hustle, I'm ready to let them die. The Regime must be taught a lesson.
This happened during Biden's speech.Seems like some people don't really believe that America is back, baby.
@idreesali114 Baghdad, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Rockets have hit a military base hosting U.S. forces near Baghdad's international airport, Iraqi police said on Thursday.

Willowed, but connected: On my campus, they've erected a chalkboard near my building for use with outdoor classes. Recently, though, we've seen a lot of (sanitized) graffiti. Today: END THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA, with FREE PALESTINE to one side.
I wish I'd seen it early this morning. I'd have changed it to END THE DELAY -- FLATTEN GAZA and FREE PALESTINE FROM 7TH CENTURY FANATICS. If they're still there on Monday morning, I will.

Any "civilian" in a position to collect the aid is virtually guaranteed to *be* a Hamas representative. We're going to hand it directly to Hamas while pretending we're not, and resupply their armed forces.

From the prior thread:
1943:
President Franklin Delano Biden announced that the United States would be shipping a billion dollars in humanitarian aid to Germany.
"After all, Germans are not Nazis", President FDB intoned.
"While a handful of Nazis may be slaughtering Jews and making war on the rest of the world, most Germans are innocent, and deserve food, water, medical supplies and electricity."
When asked how he would make sure that the humanitarian aid would not be diverted to the Nazi war machine, President FDB replied: "The Nazis promised us that they wouldn't do that."
When also asked why the American government wasn't demanding the return of the American hostages that the Nazis were holding before providing the humanitarian aid, President FDB responded: "Hostages? What hostages?"

We're going to be feeding the Hamas machinery - literally. And we got absolutely nothing in exchange for it.
A smart president/cabal trying to thread the needle to continue supporting the real ally (Hamas) while placating the nominal ally (Israel) and allowing all sides to save a bit of face would have put conditions on the support offered to the true ally. An intelligent operator would have made the "aid" contingent on the return of hostages. This is zero-cost to the recipient (the hostages aren't a good bargaining chip this time around), publicly placate the other party that is no position to argue, makes the supporting country look benevolent and gives room to maneuver.
But these people are *not* smart.

Israel doesn't want 2 million people dying of starvation and dehydration. Doesn't look good for them.
So, of course, it's somehow the US government's responsibility to throw what will at the end of the day be BILLIONS of dollars at the Palestinians (although very little of it will actually get to the people on ground, obviously.)

Ah, good old Mike Klonsky, SDS Cambodian Genocide enthusiast extraordinaire, friend to Mao and Pol Pot, the guy who almost single-handedly put Barack Obama in the White House. De facto leader of the Chicago Far Left, who got Little Billy Ayers his job(s).
Now planning his long-awaited Victory Parade with his SDS Comrades, like Marilyn Katz, at the so-called 2024 Democratic Convention in Chicago where, despite naive predictions, absolutely no disorder is going to be tolerated.

Far worse: OUR southern border's security is being tied directly to Ukraine aid. Biden is effectively saying the invasion of the fucking United States, a nation he purports to lead, will continue unabated unless Kiev gets another "aid package," which coincidentally will make it rain on the MIC. The problem is most elected Republicans also are treasonous cocksuckers totally down with open borders and as long as they get a cut, they will LARP as the Loyal Opposition and go along with this pretend deal.

Midway got their start cranking out 8mm Nambu ammo for returning GIs with bring back pistols.

I've been kinda supportive of letting Russia have it all. Lock, stock, and barrel. They were historically supportive of you know who and his antisemitism with ss units that survive into current day civil war. They supported our corrupt junta and are codependently enabling them to be global bad actors. The Rooskies are not nice little puppies dogs either, but at least they aren't stacking up behind FJB's junta the way Big Z has been.

I don't think you're right on this one. It doesn't look good for Israel (to the "international community" anyway) for that to happen, but I don't think they're working with the expectation of American support to Gaza to relieve them of the burden. If anything, it probably infuriates them.
This is the US government supporting Hamas under "humanitarian" cover, just like it supports Iran under the same cover.

I did not know that, but it doesn't surprise me in the least.
Take a look at any public works project in NYC, and you'll notice that the vast majority of contractors who "won the bid" won it unopposed, and that there is no actual company there.
It's just subcontractors all the way down until they finally find some laborers with a pick up truck to do the work, get paid peanuts, and do a shitty job.
Same is true, on a much larger scale, of our federal government.
$1,000,000 construction contract is really a $40,000 job for three guys in a 2004 Ford F350 with the 6.0 engine that constantly needs work.

Humanitarian Relief???
Right now the most humanitarian thing that can be done is a swift, violent, vicious war to conquer (yes, I said conquer) Gaza, resulting in an unconditional surrender. The faster the better. Far fewer people will die than if they sit there for the next six months, and the sooner it can get on with a new "Marshall Plan".

Longer than that actually, but the real avenues for big time corruption are in War Making, NGO, Aid and Relief spaces.
Which is why America involves itself in wars but for some reason, doesn't win them, and instead prolongs our involvement as long as possible to wring every last dollar and American patience out of it and then simply starts up new conflicts.
This shit has played out for the last 80 years and more succinctly for the last 30 plus years.

Keep in mind, Biden promised that new, additional, above- the-current-aid, $100 million while he was less than 35 miles from those American hostages.
Americans were being raped and tortured less than 35 miles from where he stood--surrounded by men with guns to protect him and keep him safe--and he didn't even spare a thought for them.
Didn't even demand proof of their well-being.
This is your President, NeverTrump. This is the President you're empowering and praising.

If or when the Israeli grunts and tanks roll into N Gaza, I think of the campaign against Monte Casino, where it was destroyed to rubble. This gave the Fallschirmjager defensible positions, held for a long time until they slipped away.

America's domestic situation is dire, and we maybe can't manage an empire anymore, and we've got too much shit to fix at home.

I once heard a story from a guy who had been in some sort of peacekeeping role, and his unit got tasked to delivering rice directly to the refugees. They noticed that when they doled out the rice they refugees went around a corner and gave most of it to some heavies with guns. They checked and found out that the heavies' group then sold the rice to the NGO that was buying rice for the soldiers to distribute, and everyone but the soldiers and the poor sobs that had to subsist on a couple fistfuls of rice to live on was pocketing the difference.
They then started cooking the rice before distributing it, and then some very important people who might have been in their command structure came and told them they were at risk of being arrested for insubordination.
Just a story. No idea if it is true. I suppose we could call it "morally true"

Go visit radical Reddit, especially trans Reddit. You will find that the hard left is very, very pro-2A and opposes *any* restrictions on gun ownership - even if they are targeted at peaceable conservatives in the countryside - because they know they'll need their weapons for the war they're trying to start.
Yes they are, and as I have said before, I met an antifa sniper and her spotter at the gun range. Train up your long range skills people, you're going to need them. We do have the inherent advantage of not being insane.

20 October 2023 FACT SHEET: White House Calls on Congress to Advance Critical National Security Priorities
Part of one paragraph: The Administration’s supplemental also requests increased support to allies and partners in our strategic competition with the People’s Republic of China (PRC). It will mobilize hundreds of billions from international finance institutions to provide a sustainable source of financing to developing countries as an alternative to the coercive lending practices of the PRC.
And one other: Additionally, we’ve been clear that the Congressional Republicans need to stop playing political games with border security and provide the resources our law enforcement personnel need to secure the southwest border and stop the flow of fentanyl into our country. President Biden continues to implement a regional migration strategy focused on enforcement, deterrence, and diplomacy. While progress has been made, President Biden has made clear that we need more funding to enhance our enforcement measures.

It didn't get much attention, but Code Pink demonstrated for peace in Ukraine outside Sen. Bernie Sanders' office recently.
He had them arrested.
That's some solid gold right there.

One of the most confusing mysteries, to me, is: why do our governments spend so much time, money, and effort manufacturing consent when what we think doesn't matter, because they'll just do what they want no matter what?

"I've been softly supportive -- or at least not opposed -- of aid to Ukraine. But after this disgusting hustle, I'm ready to let them die. The Regime must be taught a lesson."
Trump tried to help them get rid of the corruption. They refused, and did nothing to help him out of his first 'impeachment'.
I was over them from that point forward.

It's not.
A) Israel is supposedly a rich country with all kinds of technology. They can fund their own wars.
and
B) Why are we sticking our nose in to what is sure to be a multi generational issue if Israel actually follows through and "wipes out" the Palestinians? Why do we want to be associated with that? How does that advance American interests?
and
C) Not for nothing -- WE HAVE NO MONEY. This is all pretend money that is largely being skimmed by our "ruling class" that likely will have to be paid back at some point by future Americans. And its being spend, allegedly, on territorial disputes in the ME and Europe that have nothing to do with us and do nothing to advance our interests.

While progress has been made, President Biden has made clear that we need more funding to enhance our enforcement measures. ...

Another company had a much more robust but more expensive system where I had to go to a notary who did verification and physically mail notarized confirmation along with copies of the documents to the company.
The latter is decently hard to game and requires that things like actually being in this country. The former is much easier to game.

Remember the Iranian deal that Obama was so desperate to pass even though there was absolutely no benefit to the US? Pretty sure all of those billions of dollars went to Hamas to help fund and plan the attack a couple of weeks ago.

Prior to our official involvement in WW2, the UK and the USSR were very reliant on us and the Lend-Lease program for military equipment, including vehicles and fuel.
And being involved in WWII was incredibly unpopular in the US until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and both Japan and Germany declared war on us. At that point we had no choice.
That said, WWII is an entirely different animal than a territorial dispute in the Middle East.

Also yesterday I did in fact go to the office, make coffee, and mostly stare out the window. However, unexpectedly my city's police chief appeared. Then he went into a conference room with two unpleasant-looking, very Fed-looking guys in suits. I was a little confused as to why this confab wouldn't be happening at the PD, but just now realize my office is in the same building as a very major DoD contractor; we share internet facilities (so they can monitor us, I assume).
They were going over contingency plans in case of a terror attack! How obvious. I didn't catch it at all.
Slow on the uptake.

We need to stop being so Mayberry naive. This $100 million will only make Hamas more powerful. It is the same dynamic as the warlords in Mogadishu.
The aid will go to Hamas and they will decide where it goes. Food will go to the terrorists and their families. They will coerce other families to cooperate or else they won't eat.
The aid will be used as a tool to recruit and reward terrorists.

This new currency will also accelerate the transition to all digital currency. It can get expensive feeding the wetbacks you keep locally as cash on hand.

How does that work?
If any repubs vote for jefferies they will doom themselves and a good portion of the party.
No amount of being better than the commies rhetoric will save them this time.
---
It's what they have done for decades now in Texas so the liberal Republicans could keep power-- even as Texas got redder.
Although, it's a liberal Republican, they've not been stupid enough to elect an actual Democrat.
But it looks like they are going down that path, they've already trotted out the precursor to their surrender: "country over party."
I don't think they know that it will complete the destruction of the GOPe.
Good.

Pretty much. Remember all those bucks spent to support the Contras---well take a look at who runs Nicaragua nowadays. Trillions spent on Iraq and Afghanistan, now some of that aid is being used against the US and Israeli interests.
We are obligated under the Camp David agreements to give Israel and Egypt certain levels of military aid and enacting legislation has been passed that require it. However, we do not have obligations for Ukraine, Gaza, the West Bank Palis, refugee camps, etc. beyond what we choose voluntarily to give to the UN.

Poor Trump thought the GOP actually wanted what their talking points said over the years like ending Obamacare, merit over equity, and spending restraint (take a look at his initial budget and how Congress decided to continue CRs of the Dems instead).

Same thing on election fraud. GOP moderates employ every tactic to cheat candidates from the base including actual intimidation tactics and I suspect voter fraud as well.

Note:
The 22 holdouts know the game is to lie to the base and then do what you want.
That's why they won't accept Jordan even if he agrees to their demand to fund Ukraine.
They know he can't follow through.
That's why they are not making their real demands public and are dressing it in the facade of "too extreme."
If they made their real demands public, Jordan could agree and the rest of the caucus will override that when he Speaker.
While Con. Inc, spews hate at the Freedom caucus, they at least made their demands public toward McCarthy.

Good point, whig.
That was a little before my time of political awakening, but I had learned and forgotten that -- thanks.

Middle East culture repeatedly has instances of hostage taking, raiding, along with treacherous duplicity at times and prefer the strong leader of whatever tribe versus the weak leaders seeking peace. Peace is viewed as simply time to rectify an unfavorable power balance until you can win by acquiring additional resources.
You read the Old Testament and you see the same patterns in many of the same places and descendants of the same tribes doing the same thing 2-3 thousand years later.

Where the dog does not bark is a good analogy. The GOP knows that the Dems are doing all sorts of illegal donations via straw donors. Instead of calling them out on it, they join in on the scam because by and large no one really likes the GOP 'moderates' other than the pay for play K Street pimps.
Same thing on election fraud. GOP moderates employ every tactic to cheat candidates from the base including actual intimidation tactics and I suspect voter fraud as well.

Yup.
Look at how many kept quiet over 2020.
Kemp is Exhibit #1, McConnell #2. Both of those guys are 100% using straw donors and vote fraud in the primary to hold power.

Some, and I suspect some will retire when the scrutiny hits them in truly red states. Essentially our Congress is as corrupt as the famous corrupt Reconstruction Congresses written about by Mark Twain in the Gilded Age.

Biden and his junta's plan from day 1 of their illegal occupation of the presidency was and is:
We lose, you win.
It is truly anti MAGA.

You were really hard on a lot of us anti Ukrainian war support.
Glad you are seeing that you cannot support this insane administration ever. And frankly I’m close to calling it quits in the US. Doesn’t mean I’m wanting it to burn. I have children. But my wife is from Eastern European. We know what we have become and that we have to just do passive resistance and train out kids in real history.
