    Tik Tok or whatever needs to start teaching the children the actual history of the US so they realize we don’t get to vote for not killing children in this country. Fewer children, sure. And we might even pretend to be sad about it.

    But if you don’t want to vote for child killing you’re gonna have to move because no matter who you vote for it’s going to happen in your name.

        Once an appropriate amount of time has passed. Honestly, Biden’s innovation is that he isn’t waiting to be sad about it. He’s very sad about the genocide as he tells the ICC off for investigating the genocide, as he ships more weapons. Hell, someone should tell him to erect a Gaza memorial next to the Veitnam War Memorial, to show just how much it pains him to kill all these brown people.

          It’s almost as if it’s a congressional decision and not entirely his own.

          Crazy, right?

            You must not be paying attention. Biden has been exploiting loopholes to bypass Congress to send weapons to Israel since Oct. 7:

            The United States has quietly approved and delivered more than 100 separate foreign military sales to Israel since the Gaza war began Oct. 7, amounting to thousands of precision-guided munitions, small-diameter bombs, bunker busters, small arms and other lethal aid, U.S. officials told members of Congress in a recent classified briefing.

            Only two approved foreign military sales to Israel have been made public since the start of conflict: $106 million worth of tank ammunition and $147.5 million of components needed to make 155 mm shells. Those sales invited public scrutiny because the Biden administration bypassed Congress to approve the packages by invoking an emergency authority.

            But in the case of the 100 other transactions, known in government-speak as Foreign Military Sales or FMS, the weapons transfers were processed without any public debate because each fell under a specific dollar amount that requires the executive branch to individually notify Congress,** **according to U.S. officials and lawmakers who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive military matter.

            These one issue people block that process from their minds, it doesn’t matter to them.

            Or they’re not even American anyways and have no idea.
