I can only hope Death hasn't left D.C. yet, but is just sharpening his scythe. In particular, there are a couple presidential candidates who are rotting on the vine.
Is it standard operating procedure or not? If it is, then why would it make the Biden team look bad for revealing that they followed the norms.
It's not unheard of for a politician to ask what will be covered in an interview. It's not good practice to provide questions ahead of time, and it's unheard of to let the interviewee script the questions themselves.
Most damning is the lack of confidence Biden's own staffers have in him to rig the interviews in which he is supposed to be demonstrating his mental agility and acuity.
No. It's fairly common for interviewees to ask for a list of questions beforehand, but according to Boston University journalism professor Christopher Daly "it is not good professional practice to give questions in advance to sources such as public officials." And to let the interviewee actually write the questions for you is egregious journalism malpractice, thus the resignation.
"Porn barrel politics" I'm intrigued.
You should know that it is physically impossible to open the cabin door of an airliner at altitude. Cabin doors are designed so that one must first pull the door in to unlatch it. This requires overcoming a pressure differential of 7 psi or more. Assume a tiny 2' x 5' door. That equates to a surface area of 2' x 5' = 10 sq ft => 10 sq ft x 12" x 12" = 1,440 sq in => 1,440 sq in x 7 psi = 10,080 lbs of force. So the only way the cabin door is coming open is if the cabin is not pressurized, which normally means the plane is climbing to altitude after takeoff or descending for landing. If you are at altitude and the cabin is not pressurized, you will soon pass out unless you are wearing an emergency oxygen mask. The lack of pressure differential means no one would be sucked out of the plane; it would just be extremely windy.
So if someone tries to open the cabin door in the middle of your flight at altitude, just sit back and enjoy the show.
The 35,000 Gazans killed already comprise 1.6% of the population. The 85,000 injured comprises another 4% of the population. Thousands of children have already experienced severe malnutrition that will lead to stunting and lifelong effects. So no, 99% of Gaza will not be able to "move on."
Ethnic nationalism is just racism, whether practiced by white supremacist MAGA Americans or Holocaust survivors. In a liberal democracy, the government serves all people regardless of race. I'm confused by your premise that Holocaust survivors were entitled to their own ethnic state for some reason.
Also, the Zionist movement was not a response to the Holocaust. It was a colonial enterprise that began well before the Holocaust in response to widespread persecution especially in Central Europe. Many Jews opposed the Jewish nationalism undergirding Zionism for the same reasons liberals today reject virtually all nationalist movements. Many emigrated to liberal democracies like the United States where they could live free of ethnic discrimination. Zionists instead chose to respond with their own ethnic persecution.
It is worth recalling in this connection that at the turn of the century, Zionism's similarities to other projects of colonization were not a source of embarrassment or shame for most of the movement's adherents; indeed, they often saw them as a selling point. Zionist leaders studied and sought to learn from the experience of European colonial-settlement enterprises in places like Algeria, Rhodesia, and Kenya, and many imagined their own endeavor as similar in certain ways. Moreover, the Zionist movement readily used such terms as “colony,” “colonial,” and “colonization” to refer to its activities; thus, for example, the original name of its financial arm was the Jewish Colonial Trust. It was only later, after the First World War, that colonialism came to have strongly pejorative connotations for many Europeans. As a consequence the Zionist movement sought to dissociate itself from other European projects of colonization and settlement, began to stress the uniqueness and noncolonial character of its mission and methods, and stopped using such terms, at least in languages other than Hebrew.

Go ahead and describe what exactly he should have done to make an effective protest. In the meantime, consider that perhaps he simply did not want to be a cog in a genocidal machine as he clearly stated.
