It’s Friday afternoon, and I have no idea why anyone believes Biden off his words after his first term.
Q Can you give us a sense of when you think that ceasefire will start, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I hope by the beginning of the weekend — I mean the end of the weekend.
At least, my —
Q Say again.
THE PRESIDENT: My National Security Advisor tells me that we’re close. We’re close. It’s not done yet. And my hope is by next Monday, we’ll have a ceasefire.
He also announced a ceasefire by this weekend…
It’s Friday afternoon, and I have no idea why anyone believes Biden off his words after his first term.
He’ll say fucking anything, like blaming this genocide on Mexico for not being a good enough neighbor to Palestine.
Sometimes we’re told he just got confused, sometimes we’re told it wasn’t truthful but somehow not a lie.
The result is voters equate him to trump because they both keep doing the same shit.
That depresses turnout, and that’s how trump can win
I don’t think anyone actually believed the cease fire would happen.
US to Hamas: “Hey, we’d like you to give up any leverage you have over Israel.”
Israel to US: “Oh, and we want to end the cease fire any time we want.”
Hamas: “. . .”

I would not interpret hopes for a ceasefire as the announcement of one.
He already walked it back…

And in all likelihood this will never happen either.
Which is why it makes zero sense why people give him credit for what he says he’ll do.
Announcing we’re going to airdrop food isn’t remotely the same as expressing a hope that a ceasefire would happen.
