Yeah this is gonna be a no. They just simply did not come close to proving specific intent, which was what Wallace said she needed to see on day one. You are going to need physical evidence for that. I really think they should have figured out how to get evidence from the GA and FL cases admitted. I think this was not well done.
RIYADH, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries called on Saturday for an immediate end to military operations in Gaza, rejecting Israel's justification of its actions against Palestinians as self-defence.
Saudi Arabia has sought to press the United States and Israel for an end to hostilities in Gaza, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom's de facto ruler, gathered Arab and Muslim leaders to reinforce that message.
A baby died in an incubator at Gaza's largest hospital after it lost power, and a patient in intensive care was killed by an Israeli shell, the Palestinian health ministry said.
The war has upended traditional Middle East alliances as Riyadh has engaged more closely with Iran, pushed back against U.S. pressure to condemn Hamas, and put on hold its plans to normalise ties with Israel.
Qatar's emir said his country, where several Hamas leaders are based, was seeking to mediate the release of Israeli hostages and hoped a humanitarian truce would be reached soon.
At a press conference in Tel Aviv, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Arab leadership to "stand up against Hamas."

While an immediate cease-fire is in order, maybe Saudi Arabia can just shut the fuck up. There is no word they can utter that will improve the situation at all, as usual. Everything they say is manipulation or deception. Saudi Arabia is incapable of good faith discussions or commentary on any topic. Their words can only cause further harm.
Instead, let's have a cease-fire because it's the right thing to do.
Maybe Biden should push more for "Biden's agenda". It feels like Biden is pushing harder for COPPA (require people to be 18 and have a license to go on the internet, allow state attorney general to censor LGTBQ stuff online) then popular stuff like marajana legalization or Roe codification.
I'm not surprised Biden isn't pushing marijuana reform. He's one of the biggest proponents of the horribly racist, classist, and murderous drug war. He's from a generation that thinks reefer madness is an accurate representation of pot, and his personal prejudice towards recreational drugs is widely known.
He's always been the wrong candidate, but the Democrats can't seem to find anyone better. All we can hope is that Republicans stay home and he gains votes that way
Its not that Democrats can't find anyone better. It's that they won't allow anyone better to advance through the ranks.
Its that Biden is exactly who the DNC wants in office.
Once upon a time, there was an argument that at least some Democrats tried to represent their constituents.
Those days are long gone. Citizens United stands. Corporations are "the people" the federal government represents. Money is speech. If you don't have the money, they don't have ears for you. Both parties represent the corporations, not the people, and Biden has a wonderful history of supporting all of those corrupt things that make the corporate overlords happy.
We've seen how the government works when Democrats have control. No one will call it perfect, but it works and they generally try to help people.
We also see repeatedly how government works with Republicans in power. They don't do shit to help anyone but themselves and their donor class.
Until we fix the first past the post electoral system, these are our choices. Whining about it won't fix it. We first have to eliminate the fascist threat posed by Republicans, then we can talk about reform.
Just because you've never heard a Republican declare they're the same as a Democrat doesn't mean you aren't repeating Republican propaganda. They don't care what you think of them. If you have no faith in government, they win. If you think Democrats are just as bad, they win. Shrinking government until it can be drowned in the tub is the point. Then they can break up its functions and sell them off to private interests. If you want to see a return to feudalism, keep repeating this bullshit. Just don't think you're going to be welcomed into the new nobility.
Democrats had the oval office and a congressional supermajority.
The Patriot Act still exists in full form. Citizens United still exists in full form. Gitmo is still operational. Roe v Wade has not been codified.
In those years where we could have gotten universal Healthcare, they delivered everyone must pay for health insurance, employed or not.
In those years, the Iraq War not only continued, but the US added arial drone warfare to the military industrial complex.
When Obama spoke, he inspired, he lead, he made you feel something positive. He didn't follow through on ANYTHING though.
Biden got us out of Iraq. I think he botched the exit, but at least we got out of Iraq under his presidency. Then he decided to triple down on funding a genocide.
I can name 3 democrats (and politicians in general for that fact) I still trust. Bernie Sanders, AOC (though the longer she is hanging out with the dogs, the more I fear she is hosting some fleas) and Katie Porter.
The rest of em are Hilary progressives that are only concerned with cozying up with wall street insiders and lobbyist funders.
There's no point in refuting Republican talking points that were discredited thirteen years ago. The Democrats had their supermajority for a total of two weeks at the end of 2009. Not nearly enough time to pass anything and everything they wanted. That talking point is dead and buried and is more than enough evidence that I'm not dealing with someone arguing in good faith.
Is that your intent as well? Sealion me so I waste my time rehashing old, dead arguments?
There are a lot of great Democrats out there, but there are plenty of bad ones too. I don't think we'll see real change until most of the boomers are dead and gone.
There's also the issue that with Republicans losing their damn minds, big money and corporations have been shifting their support to Dems.
But I agree that Boomers are the worst offenders of voting R or D regardless of whose name the letter is next to because they fancy their letter the lesser evil.
Gen X really amped up the problem on the D side though.
America is a wonderful place to live. It is not free to live here, but we do have freedom.
I wouldn't trade my life in the USA to move anywhere else, unless it was an offer that came with a substantial financial incentive that would pay for me to live comfortably without needing a job.
Oct 9 (Reuters) - A senior Hamas official said the group is open to discussions over a possible truce with Israel, having "achieved its targets."
Moussa Abu Marzouk told Al Jazeera in a phone interview that Hamas was open to "something of that sort" and "all political dialogues" when asked whether the Islamist group is willing to discuss a possible ceasefire.
