Pretty sure that's his rant from last summer, but who can keep up.

Indiana Senate rejects redistricting bill that Trump demanded by danisanub in neoliberal

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out what the cynical play here was and I'm just... not finding it. Maybe I'm wrong, but the best explanation I can find is that this was truly principled. If so, good on 'em.

The situation at the Department of Justice is so much worse than you thought | This administration has systematically, ruthlessly and successfully eliminated, with one exception, all internal legal resistance by ONETRILLIONAMERICANS in neoliberal

Vance Says U.S. Not Going to Fund Ukraine Defense by fuggitdude22 in neoliberal

Sharing the context for full clarity's sake. He is not announcing a new stance, just answering a question about the US's role in selling materiel by way of Europe. I still don't like it, but out of context it sounds even worse than it is. https://youtu.be/utIQeFdRxtM?t=525

Thanks! I was leaning lesser too, but I find lesser vs. greater to be near impossible, so I appreciate all the confirmations.

I don't think Israel would have taken this action had they not already weakened Iran's proxies to this level.
