What does the paskudnyak/ultra-MAGA/GQPer minority think it’s up to, where I use the word think very loosely? They are not shy about saying, and then we get to clap back, to point and laugh, to tell the ever-loving truth in numbers and at length.
Basically, as I always explain it, whatever they scream about loudest, we get to do more of.

The Latest Bogus Moral Panic and Response
Not all Palestinians support Hamas. Just like not all Republicans support Trump
Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn
Biden wants to bring Palestinians into the U.S. by calling them “refugees.”Reminder — these are the same Palestinians who elected and support Hamas.
No, Marsha, BIBI paid for Hamas to get elected in Gaza, supposedly to counter the Palestinian Authority, with the aim of derailing any thought of a 2-state solution. Bibi is going to come crashing down soon, and things will change.
It always seems impossible until it's done.

Qatar sent millions to Gaza for years – with Israel’s backing. Here’s what we know about the controversial deal
Dear Democrats and Biden supporters, a majority of Biden voters think Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza. Genocide. Let that sink in. You can disagree with that position, sure, but you can't mock or belittle voters into ignoring it either. So, yes, the war is a problem for…
Israel and Hamas are "nowhere near a deal" for a ceasefire, but negotiators are still in discussions, a spokesperson for Qatar's foreign ministry told CNN. The CIA director said a deal is still possible, but it's a "very tough process."
The first maritime humanitarian aid shipment to Gaza since the war began is on its way to the enclave from Cyprus, according to the nonprofit World Central Kitchen.
150 truckloads a day, it appears. Not enough, but way better than before.
A US-led effort to bring aid to Gaza by sea is moving forward. But big concerns remain
A senior U.S. military official said Thursday the U.S. is on track to begin delivering aid using the new port and pier by early May. The official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss details not yet made public, said deliveries through the sea route initially will total about 90 trucks a day and could quickly increase to about 150 trucks daily.
This is not the wackadoodliest Wrong-Winger out there, but she’ll do for today. The reali-o truli-o wackawackadoodles are screaming about Biden allowing Palestinian refugees into the US, as though they are all Hamas terrorists.
New Republican campaign ad just dropped.
There’s a lot of Hamas people coming for me on my social media. My address is public, so FAFO.

There is a great deal more of this going on, but there is too much racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Conspiracy Theorizing, and general viciousness for me to repeat it here.

President Biden Brings Decades of Foreign Policy Experience: Boosting Biden Day 80
Why I Am Restarting Boosting Biden
I put the series on hold because I was having a hard time dealing with the suffering in Gaza and felt sympathetic with the people who are working so hard to get Biden to put more pressure on Israel.
I am restarting the series on Monday. I hope that some of you will read the series, rec the series, and share the series if you share my goals (and you like the entries). Too many people are unaware of all Biden has done.
I have not stopped caring about the people of Gaza. I have not stopped wanting Biden to do more.
But I do see him doing more and being tougher and I do see that having some effect. It is tenuous, but it is something.
On the other hand, when Hamas and Israel do make a deal to exchange hostages for prisoners, for a real ceasefire, and for adequate aid to reach Gaza, after Israel and Saudi Arabia get back to the deal that Hamas derailed last October, Biden and others will be up for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Reuters, May 2: US and Saudi Arabia nearing agreement on security pact, sources say
The Biden administration and Saudi Arabia are finalizing an agreement for U.S. security guarantees and civilian nuclear assistance, even as an Israel-Saudi normalization deal envisioned as part of a Middle East “grand bargain” remains elusive, according to seven people familiar with the matter.
The Saudis do not need nuclear power assistance. They have ridiculous amounts of sunshine.
