For 16 days, Israel has imposed a brutal blockade on Gaza, blocking over 10,000 aid trucks and denying entry of essential fuel and gas. This is a slow genocide affecting 2.4 million Palestinians.

The Democrats lost because of their own hubris and tone-deaf politics. Their hollow, soulless campaign provided no serious alternative to Trump’s pseudo-populism.

The stupid, evil, soulless country got the stupid, evil, soulless representation it deserves and WANTED. Not shocked, not sick, just disgusted and braced.
