🧵1. #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #ProudBlueEditorials WITH ALL THE ANGER AIMED AT @JoeBiden REGARDING THE ISRAELI/HAMAS WAR…I’ve realized something. Apparently there is some confusion about exactly what powers the POTUS has over other countries. So clarification:

I know that we had a previous occupier of that office who had some believing he was omnipotent over the entire planet but, that was simply a megalomaniac’s fantasy.
