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.

It’s the first arms shipment to Israel to be announced by the administration since it put another arms transfer — consisting of 3,500 bombs — on hold this month. The administration has said it paused that earlier transfer to keep Israel from using the bombs in its growing offensive in the crowded southern Gaza city of Rafah.

    but I’m voting for him to avoid the US becoming a theocratic fascist state…

    It’s not avoiding it, it’s making it happen slower.

    I think you’ve forgotten how religious Biden is and how much he’s talked about that influencing his positions.

    Why do you think he’s essentially ignored Roe V Wade being overturned? He doesn’t want abortion to be legal due to his religious views.

    He did an executive order, but it accomplished nothing. And that was just because midterms were coming.

    And the way he’s encouraging cops to go after peaceful protesters?

    He’s saying the same bullshit about protesters trump said about BLM protesters.

    Biden isn’t against fascism, he’s against the other team being in charge of it.

    That’s what happens when one side turns the fascism up to 11, and the only other option is obsessed with meeting them half way.

    The best result is slightly more than half fascist.

    And that hurts turnout, and low turnout is when the fascists win.

    The best way to stop the fascists, is to fight them, not compromise with them. That shit doesn’t work.

      Yeah, I literally acknowledged that.

      I’m voting for him to avoid the US becoming a theocratic fascist state… Faster than it already is at least.

      The best way to stop the fascists, is to fight them, not compromise with them. That shit doesn’t work.

      So what, don’t vote and do direct action instead?

          Direct action to support a fascist takeover of America. Fuck’s sake have we learned nothing from his first 4 years? Hillary was a flaming piece of shit but if she won we would still have reproductive rights in America.

            It’s the same as threatening a union strike to force concessions for collective bargaining.

            The strike isn’t the goal, but being willing to do it gives you power to negotiate.

              Again, Hillary was such a huge piece of shit that the voter turnout wasn’t there. Trump was the result of that protest. Dems responded by giving us biden. They won’t learn. Biden also barely changed course from the primary protest vote.

                Hilary lost because she chose to alienate her progressive caucus and run a campaign focused on her opponent instead of her own policies.

                Now that you mention it that does sound familiar. Biden should have the benefit of hindsight.

              A strike means things stop. A protest vote means things go backwards, as if there was an entire workforce of scabs waiting to swoop in when the strike starts. There’s no leverage.

                Think of everything leading up to the election as the strike, and the company going bankrupt from the strike as the result of the election.

      Joe Biden isn’t religious. He is a progressive activist. He is the clown, and you are in his circus. Furthermore, he and Nancy Pelosi are globalist first, progressives first, nationalist last, Christians last.
