A contrast between liberal effectiveness and socialist fecklessness.

This article is about Bernie Sanders showboating with a showy but meaningless attack on Israel. Meanwhile, Biden got the job done behind the scenes:

“The Israelis have indicated that they are preparing to transition their operations to a much lower intensity, and we believe that that transition will be helpful both in terms of reducing civilian casualties as well as increasing humanitarian assistance.”

That’s the buried lede: Biden got it done, Bernie is fucking useless at best. But the #GenocideJoe liars will be pleased at Bernie attacking Biden.

    His death is less important than how he lives out the rest of his life. Better that he survive long enough to receive punishment for his crimes and serve as a lesson for those who would follow in his footsteps.

      @TruthSandwich@sfba.social Absolutely. The best career move for Trump is to die, because I believe it’s all downhill for him now. I want to see him convicted, jailed, for, say… 20 years, serve 5 or 6, be miserable, then die; though, I suspect in any case he doesn’t have long to live. I wouldn’t be surprised if his heart gave out, or the dementia got him, or even Putin’s long arm reaches out, and puts an end to him.

          @TruthSandwich@sfba.social He looks like crap, but he’s looked like crap for ages, yet doesn’t die. I’m really surprised someone close to him hasn’t poisoned him, or smothered him in his sleep by now. If he goes to jail, I suspect the rigors of the new environment will finish him off fairly quickly, just as jail finished off Oscar Wilde.
