Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"As the president of the United States, you have power to change the course of history, and the responsibility to save lives right now," the staffers wrote.

Taking from my comment on the other community where you posted this:

Biden asked for one and reported Netanyahu said no.

The headline sounds like he’s just dismissing his staffers

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You mean the headline is intentionally misleading to the point of misinforming people?

It's straight up journalistic malpractice the way they phrased it

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Correlation does not imply causation. Just because you misinterpret the headline doesn’t make it wrong.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter what the intent is here, the headline is misleading, which is poor journalist integrity. Both malice and ignorance can sink a ship.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Intent is irrelevant. Biden’s comment and the staffer’s letter correlate (A relationship or connection between two things based on co-occurrence or pattern of change). It is implied (To make evident indirectly) that Biden is disregarding the wishes of the staffers. If you can’t comprehend this, I can’t help you read gooderer.

I assumed people could read past the headline.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean... Isn't the point of the headline to concisely represent the article? That's the entire reason clickbait is considered bad.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, the information in the article is unimportant because the headline is cumbersome. /s

Damn looks like there is 'No Possibility' that I will be voting for that cuck ever again.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well have to see if the Annoying Orange rises up as candidate again.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

State polls show he is tied or winning in some cases over biden.

When certain two unnamed 3rd party people are included, numbers shift in an interesting way.

For biden to win, polling needs to be couple points higher, not just tied.

One year out, so... will be interesting to see how well polling works this time around.

To be fair, i don't think Israel is going to do a cease fire even if we yeet all the aid and support we promised them. Netty has been wanting this fight for... ages.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not too sure on that, US has many ways to force cease fires as good as starting coups.

I think if we had a president and congress that wanted it done, it would be done.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering how well those coups worked out, I’d really like for that sad chapter of US history to stay history, as much as I despise Bibi’s reactionary government.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, IMO the coups did what was required, same in latin america.

It stopped the political party that was going to rule and chaos would ensue.

Due to party plans of interfering with US corporations and allies.

They did meet short term goals but the long term blowback is indicative that it’s not worth it from a cold strategic perspective even when not factoring in the ideological hypocrisy

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Oh, okay.

I think I understand a bit of what you are saying.

Thanks!
