Trump accepts Biden offer to debate him in June and September

"I'm ready to go," Trump said. "The dates that they proposed are fine. Anywhere. Anytime. Any place. Let's see if Joe can make it to the stand-up podium."

I'll believe it when I see it.  Microphones that cut off are OK, but in a room with 3 people... the microphone won't stop the distraction of Trump talking every 10 seconds.

I think the debates should be on PBS.  Networks shouldn't get a dime.  Also... non-news folks should be the moderators.  Bill Maher and Jon Stewart for example.  Guys who know facts, are comfortable in a conversation and will call BS more than others.  Stewart would be really good at it.

Did you not argue that there was genocide prior to the Hamas terrorist attack that justified explained the attack? Correct me if I am wrong.

But I tell you what is a strawman - using Beaker's posts here as if they somehow have any bearing on Biden's policies. You sure suffer from fuzzy thinking and even fuzzier writing.

Edited to give you the benefit of the doubt. Not sure it is warranted.

I gave you the start of the Oct. 7 posts. So you could be helpful and show (me) where I said what you claim.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, believe US Democrats according to new poll
A majority of Democrat voters in the US believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a new poll conducted by Zeteo and Data For Progress has found. The poll interviewed 1,265 voters between 26 and 29 April, and found that 56 per cent of Democrat respondents hold this view, despite denials from President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Nationwide, four out of ten are said to believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, findings which place millions of American voters, and a majority of Democrats, at odds with members of the US Congress, most of whom have given full backing to Israel’s onslaught on the besieged enclave. Just under 35,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed since 7 October, in a campaign that many believe is a “text book case of genocide”.

A stark disparity is also found between US voters and their representatives on the question of a ceasefire. The survey showed that 70 per cent of voters support a permanent ceasefire and de-escalation of violence in Gaza, with 83 per cent of Democrats and 65 per cent of independents backing this stance. Among Republicans, 56 per cent support a permanent ceasefire.

With only 11 per cent of lawmakers supporting a ceasefire, the gap between US public opinion and members of Congress is likely to fuel further questions over the influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on US democracy. The outsized role of AIPAC has become a major talking point and many have called for the anti-Palestinian group to be registered as a foreign agent. (...)


Sort of a never cry wolf situation. Immediately after the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, you and others were claiming it was due to previous Israeli genocide on Gaza. Seems that the ultra-right in Israel decided that they were going to be accused of genocide no matter how they responded. No, I'm not supporting that.

Of course, the other option is for Hamas to decide they have been defeated and surrender. 

But it is of course all Biden's fault as he tries to navigate a more restrained position between the republican powers in congress and the anti-Israel Hamas supporters, right? As I said previously, Israel has a long history of going their own way, rather than listening to the US. Between a rock and a hard place.
