Stating that the Biden administration, which controls the weapons going to Israel, is "working ceaselessly for a ceasefire" is nonsense because they could have forced one any time they chose.

In fact, they were legally required not to provide arms to a genocide.

AOC didn't have to give them cover. But she did. DSA, meanwhile, can't do shit about her doing that.

Yup. Same way the cops break up a protest - you arrest people on nonsense charges, take them in and book them, and by the time you're released the event is over.

And by the time it comes to trial, they dismiss and you take it since the alternative is to fight a battle that will take over your life, and not change that.

Ask me about laws in NYC from the 19th century regarding wearing a mask . . . . .

it hasn't worked with the Democratic party. That's what happened in 2016 . . . the Dems were able to stop the revolt from the wing, the GOP was not. Now the GOP is MAGA, and the Bernie wing is contained.

There's a few reasons for that - one of which is that the GOP process is not as controlled, and another is that the Dems were smarter than the GOP, which had already seen its leadership wounded from the Tea Party.

The Dems didn't show that. After losing to an insane gameshow host in 2016, their leadership remained identical in 2018 and 2020. There wasn't even window dressing changes. And 2020 saw the center and party establishment firmly not only win (Biden over Bernie), but use that to systematically lock out the left. Why do you think the first primary was moved to South Carolina, a state which will NEVER go for the Dems in the general?

dude, READ THE REPORT.

It's obvious you haven't.

As for people "literally went to prison" - in EVERY case, the people tried were for obstruction. Not conspiracy, but because they didn't properly assist with the investigation, or tried to hide facts.

As for Russian indicted - and? None were ever brought to trial, none were ever convicted. The charges were again mostly obstruction, with some money laundering - which in a sanctioned country like Russia can mean many things.

Don't know where $100k is coming from

The usual claim of Russiagate conspiracy theories. Later revised down to 46K by the Mueller Report. Which again, it's apparent you haven't read.

And, to the original point, most of those went out AFTER the election. So it doesn't seem Russia got their money's worth.
