A reminder to everyone who believed that Joe Biden could order Netanyahu to stop dropping bombs on Gaza, and as a consequence of believing such makebelieve, didn't vote for the Democrat.
Turns out the US *can't* unilaterally declare an Israeli ceasefire.
How odd!

This is what every district should be doing, starting with NJ, not least bc by stripping the makebelieve US Attorney, you increase Todd Blanche's legal exposure for the bullshit still going on, most notably in the LaMonica McIver case.

Tl;dr:
This seems to be driven by Strangelove Miller's pathological need to bomb shit and deport people on makebelieve intelligence claims, manic Cuban-American politics, and deliberate incompetence.
There's no consideration of what happens if they succeed in VZ and Cuba.

15. There is one big difference, though. Back then, when the Republicans wanted Trump to get reelected in 2020, they had incentive to play along with his makebelieve. Things are very different now.

Once again Graham Platner gets the attention he wants because he matches the cartoon character in the journalist’s head of a rugged authentic all-American working-class man.
Though they both come from the affluent background, the journalist cannot help but play along with Platner’s makebelieve.

Where are the stories about Trump "fixing" a makebelieve problem? Without them, everyone is accepting as true Trump's reasons for blowing up the global order.
The erasure of Biden's booming economy with grate on me till I'm dead. Every story goes like this: Trump doubles down despite XYZ. What no one is talking about is that Trump didn't need to implement tariffs to do what he says needs to be done. And he didn't because the economy was good.

The United States was the only UN member state to vote against it.
Presumably because it makes the US look smaller and doesn't include Trump's makebelieve renaming of Gulfs, Straits and Lakes.

Wall Street is also highly motivated to believe Trump’s makebelieve. Same with the press corps. Same with elites generally. Club members understand each other implicitly.

1. The president is trying to change the subject after the AG closed the case on child-sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. That’s why Donald Trump has lately been harping on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Someone is to blame for some makebelieve problem and Trump wants to be seen as the solution.
