Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The State Department announced on Friday that it was planning to send Israel more than $6.5 billion of weapons aid that included Apache attack helicopters and combat land vehicles, bypassing a congressional review process.

The packages of four weapons systems had been under review for months by the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

The State Department is supposed to wait for approval from the top two members on each of those committees before announcing the aid. But in this case, the department under Secretary of State Marco Rubio circumvented that norm.

It was the third time that the Trump administration has bypassed this part of the congressional process, called informal review, to send weapons to Israel.

No fuck you. Palestinian protest voters like you are the reaspn Trump is in office a second time. What's wrong clown? Things not better for the people of Gaza under the antichrist that you helped put on power by not voting?

Personally I don't give two fucks about the middle east. I hate that Gaza children are being murdered, I very much want all funding to Israel reduced to 0. But when it comes to women and LGBTQ rights being pro Palestine while Hamas is in charge is being about as dumb as you are.

But you probably don't care about those rights anyway do you. So in my eyes, you are a right wing theocrat of a different made up religion

Fuck you. I never supporter Trump and never asked anybody to vote for him and I said multiple time that he is a genocide supporter while you support one of the two war criminal and genocidal enabler

Personally I don't give two fucks about the middle east.

So fuck off, scum. As a decent human being I do not want any harm for Americans despite not being American and thinking that they do not know what is good for them.

I hate that Gaza children are being murdered

You support one of the two war criminals while I support neither so you just a liar and a hypocrite . You clearly love seeing them murdered

So in my eyes, you are a right wing theocrat of a different made up religion

I don't gives a damn of your trashy opinion about me. If you defend trump or biden or harris gaza policies than you are a nazi to me
