“It misses the point,” one U.S. official said of the plan. Another said that McGurk has laid out his vision in a top-secret document shared in some circles of the Washington national security establishment — a plan that envisions Biden traveling to the region in the coming months on “a victory tour” to claim credit for an Israel-Saudi deal as an answer to Gaza’s pain. The document references a preliminary deal called “the Jerusalem-Jeddah Pact,” the official told HuffPost.

Less Popular Than Syphillis
The least popular governor in New Jersey history says he doesn’t care what people think of him because he’s not running for office.Gov. Chris Christie, whose approval rating landed at a record-low of 15 percent in a recent Quinnipiac University Poll, said such polls meant nothing to him when he was at record highs and they mean even less to him now as he heads into his final six months in office.
How refreshing! A politician who doesn't care what the voters think! Christie left office with those poll numbers, and was promptly given a job at ABC News, because of his popularity.
What About All The Good Things Biden Is Doing
Kick That RINO To The Curb
Speaker Mike Johnson says spending deal with Schumer remains in place despite pressure from hardliners to walk away
Am I An Expert?
No, but I'm pretty sure choosing "don't bomb" is right about 90% of the time, while the supposed experts choose it 100% of the time. Being a dumbass is useful, sometimes.
Of course I'm not eyeing a bunch of barely show jobs on defense contractor boards, or advocating for Human Rights from the perch of a Think Tank funded by the worst regimes/interests in the world.
Remember Libya?
We aren't good at this stuff (because war is bad, that is why). There are very few examples of any of these things going right, but in the moment each one is as correct and urgent as the last.
The Thing We're Doing Will Achieve The Opposite Of Its Goals
If you said this, but add, "and that's bad," people would shriek at you for being wrong. Like this every time.
This is why I called for a ceasefire early. This is why I voted against war in Iraq.

Violence only begets more violence. We need a ceasefire now to prevent deadly, costly, catastrophic escalation of violence in the region. https://t.co/acd6bwiRPF

What are we doing here?
Could Send Him To Jail
Donald Trump spoke from the defense table for roughly five minutes as closing arguments concluded, before Judge Arthur Engoron cut him off.He told him not to do such a digression, and he did, and then nothing...
Green Room Man
Christie's not important; he's just a very clear example.
(RIP Simon)all I know is that when Christie does finally pull the plug, there's gonna be some Mourning Joe amirite

At Least No One Politely Asked Him To Leave A Restaurant
Police on Long Island responded Thursday morning to a bomb threat at the home of Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News.Journalists don't tweet as much or as freely anymore for various reasons, but for years it was a good way to see who their sympathies were with (Sarah Sanders, quite often).
