So now we are basically at war in the Middle East. Iran sending rockets into Israel. Israel on ground incursion of Lebanon. People huddled in shelters.
And I think Joe is still at the beach. Who knows? Not that it matters.
Just potentially the beginning of WWIII — but who’s counting?
And…. Me? Me — I’m not “allowed to do news conferences” and the world is waiting.
The status meeting changed from talks of the impending VP debate to — what the fuck is going on — chaos.
I’m sitting here taking time to write in my diary while they all figure out how to tightrope the situation. We’ve gotten pretty good at finger pointing and the constant “tsk, tsk” directed at Israel and stance of finding a way to somehow blame them for all the wrongs, while also occasionally feigning pro-Israel stance.
The gang is now discussing that polling suggests that more than 1/2 of the Democrats favor the anti-Israel BDS movement (only a very very small numbers of Republicans— weirdly) — and it’s gotten to a point where we need those voters… so we have to be very careful not to offend the large anti-Semitic portion of our party.
And then we have the other side…. The Republicans… and Libertarians… they like to point out that we should stop funding terrorists – like Iran —- I guess stop giving money to Iran so they can fund all the other terrorists who want all Israelis dead, and also all Americans. They point out that if the terrorists would put down their weapons there would be peace but if Israel puts down their weapons there would be no Israel. And if they had a chance they would kill us all too. And what are they saying about tunnels they are now finding from Mexico to San Diego dug by Hamas? I’m super confused. Basic nonsense (or common sense in there somewhere) — hard to figure out.
Yeah. We no good.
