For the second time this month the Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.

I'm really hoping someone runs against him in the primary. I would say anyone, but then I remember anti-vaxxer extraordinaire RFK Jr is planning on running and also orb lady is still out there. So maybe not anyone, but there's plenty of actually good candidates that could run against Biden.

I don't think any of them have a realistic shot at beating a sitting President in a primary. I'm voting not Trump no matter what, and I'll be happy to vote for someone other than Biden, but realistically this is the match up. Biden will get the nomination and the supreme court will eventually rule that Trump can't be kept off the ballot. I've accepted it.

At least I think it will be really fucking hard to campaign or raise funds from the hot seat in a criminal court pretty much every day leading up to the election.

I honestly think if Trump was put in prison it would increase support and donations from average fans of his, it helps seal the idea that he is a persecuted outsider fighting against the deep state.

The end goal of the money, besides grifting, is to get him elected. That's just not going to happen if he's convicted. I really don't think it will happen because he'll be so busy with 3 or 5 or whatever criminal trials that he just won't have the time or ability to campaign effectively.

So honestly I'm so for these saps throwing their money at him to set it on fire. Better trump than someone competent.
