Some Complaints and More

 

• Chuck Schumer voted against the Iran Nuclear Deal.

• In foreign policy, Biden continues to disappoint.

• From what I see today, Biden is backing away from campaign promises on student debt relief and prescription drug price relief.

• I am afraid that the "how-are-you-gonna-pay-for-it" camp is winning out.

• Looks like we can expect a lot of status quo on a lot of issues.

• Politico, NY times, and other outlets are already presenting Biden's handling of the Israeli bombing campaign as a "success". Not good,

• I say this many times and will continue to do so: every time I turn around, Bernie Sanders or AOC or Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib (and there are others) are saying something I agree with. And they say it early on, not caring how it will play out politically. They are on the right side of every issue I care about. I will eagerly and unapologetically support them.

• There are a lot of reasons not to like Netanyahu, not the least of which that he intentionally insulted the President of the United States (and, by extension, the American people) in the Congress of the United States. I regard anything coming out of him or his government with as much trust as I did the Trump Administration (he is an admirer of Trump). Nothing the Israeli government says about the latest mess carries any weight for me.
