Bill, any comments on the Matt Taibbi open letter to you?

U.S. Conducts Strikes Against Houthis in Yemen The Houthis have been attacking ships in the Red Sea in solidarity with Hamas, and the U.S. attacks were aimed at securing international waterways.

Let me get this straight. Too graphic:

They most certainly are. This couldn't be more obvious, not sure how you think its even defensible. Israel seeks to eliminate Gaza altogether. They are hosting conferences in the US, discussing real estate development plans. The genocidal, ethnic cleansing campain is all part of the process.

Please explain how I live in a fallacy

Condemning the actions of a racist, genocidal, apartheid state is everyone's priority all the time, no matter where it is happening. If people weren't being lied to constantly by the Israeli and US governments they'd be taking action to stop it.

You decide to cover this as Israel expands its territory in Syria, Gaza and the West Bank with full support from their US military backers under Joe Biden's command.

Its amazing that so many people can agree on a completely delusional thought with almost no pushback.

Why would Putin invade the rest of Europe and take on NATO?

Then thank you

Dude, she is "the rich"
And she gets rich by bolstering support for neoliberal politics

Rachel told us Trump was a Russian agent

Thats wierd. If plenty showed up, why is trump getting inaugurated next month?

100%. Also by refusing to break in the slightest from Biden, she owned the record of the past 4 years and her campaign made Trump into the lesser candidate. This was a colossal failure and Harris + Biden are entirely to blame.

Why do you feel the need to defend the bidens anyway? Why not just admit what they are and move on? Genuinely curious. Joe Biden is complicit in a genocide and should go down as one of the worst american leaders in history

This post is kind of amazing, because this thread started off with accusations RE Trump appointing relatives, and you pointing out Biden never did. But since Hunter clearly took advantage of the family name and political position, you're ok with it in this context and just think its "silly"

You're counter arguing against an argument that I'm not making. Then you're claiming that I'm spreading disinformation about something that I haven't brought up, you did

Also BTW, we'll never know whether what happened was illegal because joe gave him a blanket pardon, mysteriously covering the time he was at burisma

How does a guy who fabricated a bribery story and got caught disprove the fact that HB got a lucrative position with a corrupt energy company solely because of his dad?

Why do keep bringing up the smirnov thing? Burisma gave HB a job as an attempt to shield them from investigation. This is obvious. Why else would they hire someone to a BOD role with zero expertise in their industry?

My point was: nepotism exists on team Biden as well. Hunter didn't need to be appointed by Joe to get on the BOD, he just needed to provide familial access to VPOTUS.

Your one liner insult is an insult to baseball

WTF? What are you talking about? I have no idea what "bribery story" you're referring to, so how can I be spreading it?

You're thinking of his son, Hunter, an ex-crack head who sat on the board of a corrupt ukrainian energy company to shield it from investigation while his father was VP

Why is this being translated by @maddow.bsky.social and nearly every commentor here as an example of failure to vet a cabinet pick? There is no indication that Boulos's background was misrepresented to the Trump team. This criticism is disingenous and degrades the credibility of those making it.

The article's subtitle clearly admits the confusion over Boulos's background is not from contradictory statements he ever made, but over "lore" - speculation by others that he might be a billionaire.

Why is that supposed to be relevant again?

Genocide and widening regional war... oh wait thats already happening
