Be sure to get out and vote for a piece of shit in November everyone!
It's a shitty choice between
"Business as usual center right Joe Stability Biden, representing rich old business people with a smile and a grandfatherly handshake" and
"My followers LITERALLY want Hand Maids Tale style Christian Fascism in this country and they have a plan to do it and that's fine with me as long as I get to win and avoid criminal prosecution, also I'm a wannabe Russian mobster! Donald Trump"
So yes, DO make sure to get out and vote against a piece of shit this November.
Nah i'm good.
Our chance was during the primaries, and we fucking choked.
April Fools right guys? Haha... ha...
Big cri
Our God here in the US is Mammon, even though he usually goes by other names; rational self-interest, the invisible hand, etc.
Mammon would never let genocide get in the way of glorious profit.
Of all the wars that happens around the globe, US is the biggest beneficiary.
Some of you are going to die
Martyr's, of course, to the Freedom that I shall provide...
Genocide Joe doing his things..
The genocide isn't going to commit itself.
Send them to Ukraine, I want to complete my Top Gun roleplay fantasy
Well yes, the US is not too picky when it comes to finding customers for it's arms industry. For example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_United_States%E2%80%93Saudi_Arabia_arms_deal
Since when is Biden representative of the left at all, let alone the far left? He's a right wing liberal.
Thank you for your tireless work making Republicans look dumb as fuck.
Here's a fascinating piece of what appears to be censorship or extremely selective transcribing from transcripts of yesterday's press briefings. You won't find this in the transcript of C-SPAN, or the WhiteHouse.gov transcript.
During the White House press briefing yesterday, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby remarked the following — note that's in brackets was cut from the transcript:
REPORTER: THESE ARE VERBAL URGINGS, NOT COMMITMENTS.
MR. KIRBY: [I KNOW, YOU WANT US TO HANG SOME SORT OF CONDITION OVER THEIR NECK] WHAT I AM TELLING YOU IS WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE ISRAELIS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE AS PRECISE AS THEY CAN BE AND MORE AID IS GETTING IN AND WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE THAT APPROACH.
Yes, verbal conditions would be excellent. He claims the weapons are for defense, but they are clearly being used for disastrous offensive effect to civilians.

Starts around 15:15.
I hate that man SO much.
Slowest pitch in American history (except maybe Hilary who just HAD to rig the DNC and legitimize Trump) and he is still hellbent on losing.
Is that enough time to vote in some Dems who will stop it?
Sadly, the 5 dems I would have voted for are all hanging back and letting the rest of the Dems shut them out.
Time to make another run at ending the 2 party system.
It will hurt, but when you let it stay 51/49, everything rapidly goes right.
Also, I would imagine the military contractors have already pocketed the 18 billion that was moved from public trust to Israel to the contractor.
If the deal were cancelled, that's another 18 billion out of the public trust refunded to Israel to buy something else from the military contractors.
Why would Dems stop it?
Don't get your hopes up too much, but potentially yes. Congress is the one that has the power of the purse. They appropriate money to be used for certain purposes and the Executive is responsible for spending that money on the things Congress appropriated it for by a certain date from the bill that did the funding. But usually the form this takes is Congress giving a number and the President deciding exactly what to do to meet that number. Any time before that deadline Congress can decide to reappropriate funds for something else. They usually just opt to change the numbers next time around. Biden tried to get them to do this with some sections of border wall that were funded under Trump. So theoretically yes Congress could cancel this later if they wanted to.
But even if they don't, if what you quoted is accurate this is probably one of the best case scenarios for us non-Genocide Enjoyers. This means that the Biden admin is eating up $18 billion dollars of the money Congress appropriated for Israel aid to build jets that they won't get in time to further their genocidal aims. Since that money has to get spent arming Israel regardless since that's what Congress appropriated it for it's much better if it goes to expensive shit they won't get for years than munitions they could use within weeks to bomb more civilians.
If Dems actually stood against genocide, yes.
