Biden seeks to “allow for the transfer of all categories of defense articles,” his request states
The White House has formally requested the removal of restrictions on all categories of weapons Israel is allowed to access from U.S. weapons stockpiles in the country, as I reported in detail for The Intercept today. So you know I’m not exaggerating, here’s a screenshot of the request:
The request would also remove nearly all other limits on Israel’s ability to access the U.S. weapons stockpiles — permanently —by doing the following:

Dude is commiting a fucking political suicide. He’s determined to force people not to vote for him.
Yeah, it’s been “hold your nose and vote for the least insane” for a long time now, but more the choice is “the guy who supports genocide” or “the guy who really really supports genocide.”
Fucking two party first post the post bullshit. This is going to get Trump elected when the people who cant bear to vote for genocide stay home or vote third party.
If Israel is your issue, you’re going to have to find another differentiator… like how Trump wants to end democracy as we know it and Biden does not.
That’s what I’m saying. I’m just heartbroken that I’ll have to vote for someone unapologetically funding genocide with my tax money.
What’s the fucking point of democracy if I still have to vote for genocide in order to avoid the end of “democracy.”
The Democratic National Convention of August, 1968 was in Chicago. It was marked by massive riots, after the April and June assassinations of the Rev Martin Luther King Jr and Democratic POTUS candidate Robert Kennedy, respectively. It was triggered by many issues, including anti-Vietnam War sentiment.
Interestingly, the August, 2024 DNC will be in Chicago. Maybe it’s time for the people of the United States to come together for another “year that breaks America”, and fight for the need to eliminate the DNC/RNC corporate stranglehold and work toward establishing a ranked voting system.
Or we could continue to choose between happy uncle fascist or bloated grifter fascist.
Yup. It’s getting more difficult every election cycle. I’m highly thinking of sitting it out this time. I can’t, with a clear conscious, vote for either of these two.
Yeah, you sure show em. Sitting out. Rebel.
Fucking dumb take.
Says the guy with the depopulation username.
Yeah, you sheeps are what’s fucking up this country. Go fall in line, shut up and vote. Fuck outta here with your bullshit.
lol, sheep. Vote third-party, but for gods sake vote
That’s the best idiots like you can do, poke fun of people’s grammar while the country is fucking burning. Take that grammer and shove it somewhere to boost your ego a bit more.
I was more laughing at you unironically calling people you don’t agree with sheep; it makes you sound like an angsty teen which your reply has just cemented. Baaaa
*conscience
To be fair I don’t know that I want to be clearly conscious for this election cycle, or for what come after.
Yeah, fuck your grammar/English/vocabulary bullshit. It doesn’t add anything to the conversation nor does it fix the shit America is in right now. Take it somewhere where it matters, not here.
What it adds to the conversation is that you’re a fucking idiot and you should be aware of it.
Ok cool.here is a trophy 🏆 Now go fuck off and die.
That guy you replied to is an actualcunt by the looks of it. He got very mad at a copypasta. And continued being mad.
third party
I did vote for the green party last time. Might do it again, because fuck both Dems and Republicans.
In what universe would Trump be a better alternative?
He never will be, but I can’t vote for Biden either. Maybe the country DOES need to burn to the ground so people do something about it.
That’s the most selfish shit. That’s people you’re talking about burning to the ground.
What a ridiculously stupid take. Are you in High School or something? Have you ever heard of the saying “cutting off your nose to spite your face?”
It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a stupid take or not. Focusing on one person here won’t change the fact that enthusiasm for Biden is already low. Telling someone they are stupid because they feel this way certainly won’t change their mind and will more likely solidify their position. I think we should be more vocal now about pushing for a different candidate even at this late stage. The polls already show Biden will not get the numbers he did before. The choice between not good and doom just isn’t going to motivate the masses this time. The sad truth is that Biden as the nominee is Trumps best chance at a second term.
Polls also showed Hillary was a sure win. Polls don’t matter. VOTING matters. It’s posts like this, or apathetic posts, or posts calling for a 3rd party rather than. Keen that are the ones that cause more damage. Each and every one of these posts should be called out, and I’m sure a good number of them are Russian or Chinese funded disinformation and propaganda campaigns.

If this country actually goes for Trump a second time, then fuck the lot of you. You get what you deserve. I’ll be fine, but I’ll be done worrying about the rest of you. If you’re that fucking stupid then you deserve what you get.

I think you forgot how the voters have the memory of a goldfish
He’s certainly lost the Muslim vote.
I’m Arabic American and won’t be voting for him.
“Defense,” my ass.
We fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here.
they’ll be storming our beaches with their famous naval fleet
Bootlicker
Why thank you🥰

jingoistic, religious-nut cavemen
Israel extracts cum from dead soldiers to make more Jewish babies.
The fuck is wrong with people. They’re over there committing what amounts to genocide, and we just shrug and selling them more weapons?
It’s called capitalism, look it up
Oh heavens thank you, I couldn’t possibly have known that if you didn’t respond with a snarky comment.
I think they may have been referencing this meme, but it didn’t land and wasn’t a great joke tbh.

Ah, yeah, that makes more sense.
“When a rattlesnake is poised to strike, you do not wait for it to strike before you crush it.” - FDR
Yes, you just nuke the country the snake came from, nevermind the fact that you put the snake there.
Wait, why haven’t we done this with Ukraine? Israel can fend for itself and we really shouldn’t be helping them more than we already are.
Wait, why haven’t we done this with Ukraine?
Russia has nukes.
The Palestinians do not.

We probably should help them half as much as we are.
They don’t need any help, it’s laughable to even call it a war. Israel could level all of gaza in a heartbeat
Biden is a good guy, but damn if he isn’t stuck in the past. Every decision he makes seems like it would’ve made sense if it was still 1998. This is something Clinton probably would’ve done and everyone would’ve loved him for it, but the world has moved on, and people now understand the situation there is not as black and white as they thought.
You have a weird definition of a good guy.
Good guys don’t support genocide. Good guys don’t strip away pandemic protections. Good guys don’t allow health insurance to be stripped away from millions of people.

I must admit, I don’t get why Biden would go so wholeheartedly pro Israel here. I get that the US has been allies with Israel for decades, and we would probably continue that. But his support goes further, and gets out of balance in terms of public perception of Israel (which does have broad public support), and a clear genocide of Palestinians in Gaza which also has broad public recognition. He probably would have been better to try to thread the needle between the two.

Don’t get your numbers from a terrorist organization known for lying and inflating numbers.
Basically the whole world uses Gazan numbers, because they’re known to be reliable. I won’t respond to the rest of your comment because you’re disgusting of a human being.
Classic genocidal rhetoric, calling the natives “terrorists” to justify your horrible actions
Doing the opposite of what we should be doing is supposed to be the Republicans’ job.
Wow! That’s crazy!
You mean that there were restrictions on weapons we went to Israel?
deleted by creator
This is about allowing Israel to access all weapons in the US stockpile in Israel, not ALL U.S. weapons in general as title implies.
Screw the FTSE100, invest in weapons!!

Here’s one better; no pay wall.
Is this the same month old news that was posted elsewhere?
The request is from Oct 20
