There's tanks in Rafah, which he said was a red line, and he's doing this. It was all theater.

Anyone else remember that time when he said that he won't be sending 1 little ammo crate to israel to try and save face?

God I wish we could have a good president one day

I think that boat is gone now with Bernie being so old. But yes, you could have elected him and have one guy who genuinely cares about people. But I guess money is before people.

Kind of sad, isn't it?

I really hated all the stupid reasons given for why Bernie could not be president by democrats who voted for Biden

Of which none included the fact that the DNC chooses its candidates beforehand and opts to support them to win their scam primaries.

He's independent and probably running for his last term, should honestly run for president just to show how many votes Biden is not going to get anyway.

great pic by the AP, open mouthed, aggressive angry, pointing and the lighting makes his eyes look like empty sockets of vantablack space, where all love and humanity go to die.

Just in case anyone thought anything other than its just political posturing, here you go.

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

The vote blue libs didn't even have breathing room for gloating about his so called restraint over invading rafah to whatever this is. But anyway imagine what trump would do, that's why gotta vote blue.

Biden administration last week: We think there's good reason to believe that Israel has used our weapons in a way that violates international law.

That same day: "Are you still going to give them weapons though?"

A: Oh, of course we are...nobody said anything about that. We're talking billions with a B.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration has told key lawmakers it is sending a new package of more than $1 billion in arms and ammunition to Israel, three congressional aides said Tuesday.

The White House has come under criticism from both sides of the political spectrum in the U.S. over its military support for Israel’s now seven-month war against Hamas in Gaza.

Some of President Joe Biden’s fellow Democrats have pushed him to limit transfers of offensive weapons to Israel to pressure the U.S. ally to do more to protect Palestinian civilians.

Following Biden’s move to put a pause on bomb shipments last week, Republicans have been swift in their condemnation, arguing it represents the abandonment of the closest U.S. ally in the Middle East.

But House Democrats are somewhat divided on the issue, and roughly two dozen have signed onto a letter to the Biden administration saying they were “deeply concerned about the message” sent by pausing the bomb shipment.

In addition to the written veto threat, the White House has been in touch with various lawmakers and congressional aides about the legislation, according to an administration official.


The original article contains 518 words, the summary contains 189 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Brace yourselves. We’re getting involved.

He’s old, he probably doesn’t remember what he had for lunch and is likely easily influenced by his staff to say or sign whatever they tell him. The problem is, by the time we get to the election his geriatric presidency will end with Trump winning, which will be bad for everyone.

While I’m an atheist, Trump’s potential second presidency has book of revelations vibes to it.
