"After a day of holding its fire, the Biden campaign late Friday blasted Donald Trump as a ‘convicted felon’ — an indication the president’s team has decided to seize upon Trump’s conviction to question his fitness for the White House,” Axios reports.

“The broadside from Biden’s campaign — in a press release chiding Trump for his ‘unhinged’ rant earlier in the day — put President Biden in the same camp as many Democrats who are now mocking the ex-president.”

“It also marked a departure from Biden’s approach in remarks at the White House hours earlier, when he danced around the ‘convicted felon’ label while criticizing Trump’s attack on the U.S. justice system.”

      Wow. I’ve heard some absolute shit excuses for Biden’s support for genocide, but “We have to keep supporting genocide because the antisemites are right and The Jews do secretly run everything” takes the fucking cake.

        I don’t think it’s as simple as some sort of ‘Jewish Conspiracy’ thing, but the Jewish Zionist lobby is HUGE.

        Let’s say Biden stopped all aid to Israel tomorrow, you can bet you sweet ass that Trump will win by a landslide purely through all the Jewish votes suddenly transferring to him, for the RIGHT OR WRONG reasons it doesn’t fucking matter.

        People are are THAT fucking stupid and obsessed with Israel. They think Israel can do no wrong whatsoever, just because.

        It’s wrong and sad and stupid, but there it is.

          Jewish voters are better people than you’re giving them credit for.

            I think you are underestimating the pro-Israel vote and overestimating the average intelligence of people generally.

            I’m not attacking Jewish people BTW.
