Interparty fighting is necessary to bring people to the primaries, which are necessary to drum up support for people coming out to the polls in the presidential election.

David was necessary to reel the younger left back into the party, but alienated senior members of the party.
The leftwing boomers are enamored by AOC, or at least don't want to go against her for the same reason they didn't go against obama: they don't want to appear racist.

At the same time AOC is to run against the governor of california or another, in the primaries and/or the presidential selection in 2028.

AOC has to be kept for this manufactured interparty conflict to drag people to the polls and keep the latin vote engaged.
Meanwhile she needs allies. A party chair like David, who is isolated, could and would be that opportunity for her, while throwing David a lifeline.

I'd put a 1-in-5 odds on them having already talked.
I suspect the ouster of Hogg will soon be reversed or denied outright.

Along with a bunch of other non-game apps I don't need or want. I also now have to go through the settings for every app and reset permissions and notifications to none/minimum. Best of all, my battery life has somehow just dropped by about 30-50%.

I member having a flip phone with a 3 day battery, and no apps. Those were good times, and they weren't even that long ago.

Edit: HBO Max is apparently now on my phone, and it won't let me uninstall it. 110 when?

So after seeing an ENT and having a camera jammed up my nose and down my throat, turns out shizz is fluffed in terms of my voice. Doc says it will take a year to heal and that's IF it responds to treatment. Sorry lads. The show will record new eps if and when I'm able, but could be a long time.

SHORTS-Warning!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

"The absence of an Israel visit before or after President Trump's Gulf trip erodes the carefully maintained facade of "unshakeable" U.S.-Israel ties. This isn't merely about a diplomatic snub - media reports suggesting Trump's unwillingness to engage with Netanyahu indicate deeper underlying tensions.

Israel's genocidal operation in Gaza has sparked unprecedented debate in American public discourse. Both pro-Israel lobby groups and Netanyahu have exhausted their political capital, creating a serious crisis of legitimacy in American politics. Seeing the high political cost Biden paid for unconditional support, Trump appears to have sidelined Israel after failing to get what he wanted from Netanyahu.

"AMERICA FIRST," THEN ISRAEL

Trump's recent moves to bypass Netanyahu's government demonstrate how the "America First" policy comes at Israel's expense. The most striking example is America negotiating directly with Hamas for a hostage release without Israel's involvement. Other actions that disturbed Netanyahu include successful unilateral ceasefire talks with Yemen's Houthis and conducting nuclear negotiations with Iran independently.

Trump won't miss opportunities for domestic political gains, dealing with any actor who can deliver results. Unlike presidents who shaped Middle East policy through an Israel-first lens, Trump operates differently. While taking strongly pro-Israel steps like recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, he believed he could resolve the Israel-Palestine issue through the Abraham Accords and "Deal of the Century."

From Trump's perspective: He's given Israel and Evangelical supporters everything they wanted - now he expects political returns. For presidents like Biden, supporting Israel is both strategic necessity and ideological imperative. For Trump? No tangible benefit means no justification for support.

Netanyahu recently proposed occupying Gaza while offering American companies reconstruction contracts, attempting to make Trump complicit while profiting. But compared to trillions in potential Gulf investments, this carrot seems insignificant. Netanyahu's refusal to let Trump claim credit as peacemaker has bred frustration.

Gaza's complete destruction would yield minimal benefits at high cost. Meanwhile, Israel's policies increasingly constrain U.S. freedom of action - opposing Iran deals, escalating Yemen attacks, and pushing permanent Gaza occupation. Through an "America First" lens, Netanyahu creates only liabilities without delivering political wins.

GAZA'S COST TO ISRAEL

Distancing from Israel now carries little domestic cost for Trump due to:" ....
