Palestinians have been saying for over 76 years* The colonisation started before these often quoted 76 years but hey who listens to Palestinians.

Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal, a form of apartheid, and must end, says the U.N.’s high court at The Hague.

1. Nominate an incumbent with a 38% job approval rating, whose brains are leaking out of his ears in real time on national TV, who just stumbled through a show primary against a gurupreneur and a back-bench Problem Solver. 2. Lose 40 states, SCOTUS is off the hook, it's Carter '80 3. Project 2025!

If you even try to mount a defence for this, you need to rethink everything about your life.

To whom it may concern,

Trump is not effectively an incumbent, which means responsibility for current conditions that voters give thumbs up or down to. Being very well known is not the same thing.

The very good reason for the post debate tailspin is a president's brains leaking out his ears on national TV. Totally unable to parry Trump's most outrageous lies, like his "record stock market." Talked about immigrant crime when asked about abortion. No voter could think he'll last 4 more years.

His brains are gushing out of his ears and he needs to be replaced. But they're going to have to just go with Harris and ignore the multi-round process idiots.

That's just not true. Any election with an incumbent is a pure up/down referendum on that incumbent. The only driver of the vote is the incumbent's job approval (Biden=38%). The challenger simply doesn't matter. Even if Trump. They were no factor in 2020, 2012, 2004, 1996 etc. It's never a "choice."

should we go with the guy whose brains are gushing out of his ears and can't parry the most basic idiocy that Trump spews, or his competent and articulate Black VP?

Mayor Eric Adams' 2021 and 2025 mayoral campaigns have refunded some $260,000 in donations from “doing business” donors that were over the $400 limit — far more than any other candidate in New York City history.

Contributions That Exceed Legal Limits Poured Into Eric Adams’ Campaignbuff.ly Many of the donations, from people who do business with the city, won’t be officially identified for weeks, allowing the mayor to inflate the size of his campaign haul before the money is refunded.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton sitting on high back thrones and pressing red buttons after 10 white men + Harris audition the "who wants to be President" reality show.... "You're FIRED!" they yell after the button is pressed. Then the Sandman comes in to escort the loser off stage.

Things that for all of recorded history have been bywords for the timeless and unchanging aspects of existence—the tides, the seasons, even the length of a day—are shifting under our feet and over our heads. If this isn’t a wake-up call we’re probably not asleep but dead already.

no one here is saying anything good about Trump. Biden, of course, keeps the Jerusalem embassy, tries to expand Trump's Apartheid Accords, and rains mass death on Gaza. I'm just saying showing up to stop the sales, and other forms of direct action, will do more good than electoralism at this moment.

but I'm not doing nothing, I'm helping to boycott Citi and shut down real estate sales of stolen Palestinian land.

"A distinct and likely permanent rupture has opened between the radical & accommodationist wings of the Palestine solidarity movement…You’re either all-in against the genocide—i.e., serious about Palestine’s liberation—or you get put into the same category as the reactionaries you claim to deplore."

The court also ruled -That Israel still effectively occupies Gaza -That "permanent evacuation orders" are an illegal action which constitute forcible transfer -And that Palestinian self-determination is not conditional and cannot be made conditional by the occupying power.

Returning briefly to say that the ICJ ruling is significantly better than even I expected. Not only was the occupation ruled illegal, but the Court said it constitutes a racial segregationist and apartheid system. The Court advises the world to act. The Court ruled we are entitled to reparations.
