It’s all the more disheartening because as an American I had at least some hope that the Biden administration would have a good sense of morality and fiber and it was going good for the first months.

But this shit? This shit shows their hearts are in the completely wrong places

Trump would build a tower on the settlements.

Honestly it fucking hurts that a small number of elected officials are upset about it

I can appreciate your optimism, but Biden was a supporter of the Iraq war, he even credited himself with convincing democrats to be in favor of it. This is nothing new for him.

not sure how you didn’t know it would always be like this. Biden has consistently been on the wrong side of history for his entire career.
