No Biden staffer in that article admitted to anything other than Netanyahu being the obstruction. A Netanyahu former ambassador said “they never said ‘ceasefire, now’” and that’s all the article is based on. Please use better sources.

Even with the misleading headline, has nobody commenting about how bad it is ever seen how many trees die when set up in low light conditions? These can be used in places trees wouldn’t be effective, and that’s before the whole “they’re better at cleaning the air” bit.

Also really really hard to keep trees alive on the sides of buildings where these units could conceivably be used. Modular trees plus trees where we can fit them.

Trump and Co also put pressure not to allow a deal during the Biden admin so that there wouldn’t be any shared credit. Netanyahu and the Israeli government went along with it because they thought they could get a better deal and so far that looks to be the case considering there hasn’t been any pushback since they violated the ceasefire that was in place and escalated the genocide in the last few months including blocking all aid since shortly after Trump took office. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-ceasefire-hostages-netanyahu-ff48f081b069e484955a72bc68261364

Miss me with that revisionist history.

It wouldn’t be “using every option available” but that doesn’t equal “working tirelessly”.

Words matter especially in this era of misusing words to pretend something else is occurring.

It would be a lie if they said they tried every avenue possible, but they didn’t. They did try with less effective strategies and they should be lambasted for their ineffectiveness but not for “lying they were working tirelessly”. Those are two different standards.

While it is a piece of evidence, there is nothing concrete to support it leading to: Biden and White House lied about cease fire efforts.

It could also be used to say: Biden and White House could have applied more pressure … if they wanted to lose influence in the negotiations.

You were absolutely allowed to call him out during the election and after. Just use actual evidence that supports the claim you’re making. Not “one former ambassador said “they never said “stop, right now”” which means they lied about trying at all”. There were clearly attempts to stop the genocide, though they likely didn’t go as far as they should have.

And we also know about the aid that was sent to Gaza against the protests of Israel. We also know about the majority of obstruction coming from Netanyahu. I’m not saying they did a great job, but to say that they were outright lying about even trying to stop it is disingenuous, and seems pretty clearly a way to detract from the current situation.

What claims? Again that article describes Biden and the admin of being frustrated with Netanyahu and some of his ministers. It also lays out how Biden and the admin were trying to negotiate and create pressure to force Netanyahu out through elections.

You have one quote from one former ambassador with no supporting evidence.

Even that would indicate that there was no ultimatum of “ceasefire or else” given, but still leaves open the “hey this is a bad idea and you’re only going to cause death and genocide and force more people to support your opposition”.

Yeah I’ve been generally assuming this is outside interference from conservatives to fuck with democrat morale. It’s not coherent or logically laid out and has no evidence that actually supports the conclusion…

Sounds really conservative to me after that.

And where is the evidence to refute that? In the article, every complaint from the staffers that were published refer to Netanyahu being the one holding shit up. Transcribe where the staffers said Biden wasn’t working around the clock. It’s not there.

The person in charge of the state department is the Secretary of State (Antony Blinken). Which is a stretch to say that it comes directly from Biden or the White House since it is written by a branch department. It comes from the state department. The memo declaring that they had to publish that information came from Biden, but again the response that you’re livid at was written by the state department. Notice how the only people who were targeted in the article were people who didn’t publish that bullshit? Whoever wrote the report is clearly disingenuous but to directly tie that to their superiors is not how that works. You need actual evidence and so far all I have seen is hearsay.

The video of Harris saying that her and Biden are doing all they can is also probably overplaying it a bit, but again the only evidence in that article is that other staffers were complaining about Netanyahu being the problem.

How does that translate into “Biden lied about doing everything and oh yeah let’s throw a hit piece on AOC” and finish the article off on that note with also no evidence beyond hearsay?

As far as I can read from the report, one staffer quit as a result of a misleading report written by… not the white house, and the others lamented that Netanyahu was deliberately obstructing negotiations. To say that that equates to lying about working towards a ceasefire seems to be misleading at the least.

Had a lot of good times too. Pity they’re going on the “Support Fascist America” tour. They’re dead to me now.

Possibly because Americans as a general group are more diverse than any other country and so run into the “doesn’t look like me, might be scary” conflict more often…

That being said, every country has this. From France giving their black players a whole bunch of racist shit, to the Greeks killing refugees that don’t look like them through negligence, to the Germans who still shit all over the Romani people for having a different appearance/culture.
It’s not a unique feature to the US.

As for using colors to describe people based on their skin tone… Every language does it as far as I can tell. I don’t understand why you find that odd. It can be a useful descriptor and if you want to be shade specific, you’re more than welcome to.

I usually transfer them to new containers when the roots hit the bottom so they don’t get root bound, but I guess that would take more time than starting from deeper pots.

I’ve used the 2" six slot trays to great effect all the time. All the tomatoes I’ve transplanted from those this year are doing awesome. Why would it need to be 4"?

They also specifically denied that Trump would put the tariffs on a 90 day delay so…

It is a huge disparity but let’s be real, no prison in Texas is a resort prison. They’re already on the list of borderline humane in US standards.
