Fixed it. This is literally Trump level gaslighting idiocy.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Big "The police department have investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing" energy
Was about to comment exactly this. "We internally investigated our strategic ally and found no wrongdoing"
The US set out specific criteria, such as 350 aid trucks need to enter every day.
Now the results are in, only 40 trucks a day were allowed in, and starvation is getting worse. Will the US stick to its word and withhold weapons to Israel? Of course not.
It is now blatantly obvious this whole sceme was a lie to influence the election.
Lying to the American public while supporting a genocide, this is exactly why Democrats deserved to lose this election.

This is what makes this especially infuriating. If you wanted to just say it's fine in a month as long as they "tried," don't put a firm number on it. If you do put the number and yet you don't care whether they actually meet it, you are treating us all with absolute contempt. Like we're fucking morons who don't understand how numbers or concrete demands work.
And that's before we consider the moral implications. Did Biden stop caring whether people are starving in the past month? There is no excuse and I hope he ends up on trial for his role in this before he dies.
"They have investigated themselves and insist they're not guilty. Aid groups are lying!"- Blinkin, probably.
Flip the binoculars around and look again
I guess the question is are they lying? Or are they being truthful and only 40 trucks were sent because orgs are getting tired of their people exploding? Either way...
it was a political lie.
Not too dissimilar how the administration handled holding Trump accountable for his crimes. Too little, too late, and clearly just for show in an election year.
Why would Trump do this?
Trump plans on sending aid? Ha. Gaza is Israel now.
That's his foreign policy strategy in a nutshell. Help the bigger guy win faster.
