They'll keep rapidly painting new red lines after the old ones are crossed like some sort of classic Warner Bros cartoon.

Axios in the near future...

According to a senior aide - "The president forcefully pushed back and told the Prime Minister Netanyahu the chaos caused by the IDF's incursion into Rafah must end."

---

What happened that morning...

"Mr. Prime Minister - I'm going to draw another red line. I'm warning you. The gloves are off now!"

"I hear you. I see you. I am listening to you."

"I don't understand."

"I know."

Does anyone else also hate reading Axios, not due to political takes but because of their ultra-condensed writing format?

It's so jolting and I always feel like I'm missing two-thirds of an article.

Here's some inside-the-beltway gossip for the lanyards and there will be more sprinkled throughout. Don't you feel part of DC this way?

  • Important. This isn't actually important. It's the spin.

  • Noteworthy. There is some actual context and news in here but again there's a lot of spin.

  • Why this is important. As a reporter I have a certain number of words to put in this section so I gotta do this. Hold on - I need a couple more. Done!

 

Now here's some more inside-the-beltway gossip for the lanyards. If you're reading along - don't you feel clever?

President Biden "dangerously close to having it up to here" with Israel's war in Gaza, a source close to the administration said. "A few more years of this and it's gonna be time to start thinking about some real consequences."

Biden taking off his hat, throwing it on the ground, and stomping on it: "BIIIIIIIBIIIII!!!!!"

Genocide Joe is going to write a note to Zyklon Bibi's parents, telling them he's been a very naughty boy.

Then he's going to send him weapons designed explicitly to kill large amounts of children.

Biden, while authorizing a delivery of thousands of these to Israel: "Look Jack, you gotta stop shooting babies."

Biden will be forced to schedule a parent-teacher conference.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Except in this scenario the child tells the teacher to fuck off and the parent agrees with them.

Saw someone basically say this means we can't blame Biden for the genocide any more. Insane take.

Like when I tell my SO I told the bartender I was only there for one so really the crashed car in the front yard is his fault.

Except this is a bad example because the bar might actually get in trouble because we hold bartenders more personally responsible for their actions than American presidents.

Ngo DIem was assassinated in a CIA-backed coup after his repression against Buddhists couldn't be contained and was fucking up the US' war efforts.

What are the chances Bibi here gets a visit from the interior minister in these coming days?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago

Very low. The US has bought it's own propaganda, it's not competent enough to know when to stop anymore

If Biden wants my vote the least he could do is dronestrike Netanyahu

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Oh no look out netanyahu, they're gonna put out more articles about how biden is FUMING behind the scenes

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

biden-rember "That means it's time to shift to a new gear, so your genocide can go faster but doesn't make so much noise!"

If only Biden had ever had a front row seat to what happens if a president makes a big thing of declaring a red line and then doesn't do anything when it's crossed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't follow because I feel like there's a lot of Biden lore during his and Obama's presidency. Which incident are you referencing?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Obama did a lot of "red line" rhetoric regarding Assad/Syria and then would just make a new "red line" whenever the previous one was ignored.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

How many WW3 scares was that ago? Like 10?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Biden's red lines for genocide are worth as much as liberals red lines for the Dem party

"To keep from getting fired by the administration, Mr. Biden (an Elemtary PE/History Teacher at Rochdale Public School) was forced to grade his class on a curve as nobody in the class made higher than a D- for the semester."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

This just got serious.

Now Biden is going to describe Netanyahu using the F word

Which one? God only knows. God. Only. Knows.
