My point is that words have meaning and when you don’t respect those meanings, you end up with disasters like Rwanda and losing the ability to respond in any useful way to Gaza. Words matter.

They're gonna do this at the Olympics in Paris, too. Mark my words.

I guess this is the time I'll point out that the Clinton administration squashed calling Rwanda a genocide when a million people died in 90 days. *That* was a run at genocide, and we didn't want to be bothered with it.

Greene: Jeffries said ‘even though we’re in the minority, we effectively have been governing as if we were in the majority’

Democrats: *cheer*

People. Over. Politics.

Yep. It’s election interference by the Federalist Society and a total perversion of the American justice system.

This is literally playing into Hamas’s hands and makes a cease fire less likely. It’s really shameful

Lot of downsides. Undercuts the Israeli negotiating team in Cairo. The threat of Rafah is critical leverage Israel has over Hamas. (+US hostages remain don’t forget). And, this may help Bibi politically. Finally, a gift wrapped GOP talking pt. To those pleased, there r costs.
