Can't do it to help Americans or Ukraine....

But funding a genocide committed by a country Biden has spent over 50 years saying he'll never stop supporting them no matter what they do?

Suddenly a US president can do things on their own.

But I know moderates will make up some excuse for Biden, they use the same rationalizing behavior as Republicans. Lack of logical consistency isn't a deal breaker for either of them

Fuck Biden and the IDF, but there is a big difference between aid and sale. This one's a case of profiteering.

Americans aren't even in their thought process. The US has just given Ukraine more than 200 billion.

Try getting a few bucks to help with your doubled or tripled grocery bills and Biden will laugh in your face while trying in vain to construct a coherent sentence.

I feel like your stake in this is more about Biden and running him down instead of the support that Ukraine needs.

Fuck israel and fuck hamas, they are both guilty of killing innocents and the sooner they both collapse, and are replaced by people who care more about peace than power, the better off we all are

I mean, it's not like congress is very much anti-war. It just saves time.

We should waste as much time as possible for this.

Speed running genocidal actions is always a bad thing

The Leahy Law doesn't apply to Israel.
