Gaza Pier Is Biden Presidency in a Nutshell
[Hot Air] All hat and no cattle. All bark and no bite. Useless as tits on a bull.

That's Joe Biden. It would be an improvement if he only failed at everything he tried. Instead he makes things worse.

Just as Jimmy Carter's presidency could be summed up in the failed attempt to rescue the hostages in Iran, Biden's can be summed up by his Gaza Pier.

Announced during his State of the Union Address, the $320 million pier was a stupid idea made worse by an execution that could, at best, be characterized as incompetent. The floating pier took months to build, delivered almost no aid to Gaza, none of the aid made it to the intended recipients, was attacked by Hamas with mortars while a UN official was inspecting it, and broke apart in seas that a fishing boat would have easily survived.

The idea was stupid from the beginning, and it was pure Biden. I am mildly surprised that he didn't just send over pallets of cash to create a solid foundation. Surely, Jerome Powell would have been happy to print them for him. I am not surprised that he didn't send his precious transgender soldiers to build it, given that they are far too vital to national security to risk in the middle of a war zone.

#5 What would the founding fathers of Tyre say?
Why, they wouldn't say anything. Alexander the Great had a causeway built right up to the island, put the city to siege, and sacked it.

You: what is the difference, if any, between a citizen and a politician?
A citizen takes responsibility for their decisions and actions. A politician does not?
Straight from the textbook. But what does it mean?
It means that treasury looting in the form of military campaigns and taxation has destroyed more empires than can be remembered, and none are immune to those consequences.

#6 We have discovered that we have previously gutted all of our capability to do that type of operation previously, but we went ahead regardless.

#7 Rather than a funky floating pier, it would have been much simpler to bulldoze the rubble of Gaza into the sea.
