The Biden administration for the second time this month has bypassed Congress to approve the transfer of nearly $150 million in military equipment to Israel

Secretary of State Antony Blinken informed Congress that he has made an emergency determination to immediately approve the transfer of “155mm ancillary items including fuzes, charges, and primers that make 155mm shells functional,” a State Department spokesperson said Friday.

The spokesperson said the additional items were added to previous sales, which “increased the total value of the sale to $147.5 million.”

Earlier this month, the administration rushed forward a sale of thousands of munitions to Israel, bypassing the standard 20-day period that congressional committees are typically afforded to review such a sale. The State Department sent an emergency declaration to the oversight committees that more than 13,000 tank shells would be delivered to Israel without any “further information, details or assurances.”

    Biden needs to tell Netanyahu to fuck off. Biden is killing his chances at reelection with this. And with that, democracy in America cuz we all know trumps fascist plans. I am fucking furious about this.

      Why can’t he just be a normal president and funnel weapons to terrorist enemies of the state using the CIA black account. $150mil is a literal drop in the bucket for DOD cost centers that legally cannot be audited.

      The Dems win one election and throw it all away trying to appease fascists, only for fascists to choose their guy instead and further drive away the left.

      Liberals just can’t stop aiding fascists, real fucking curious how it just keeps happening throughout history.

      Except this time after 80 years of suppression of leftist ideology, nobody is here to fight for the liberals. I’ll watch them get dragged to camps with a smile on my face. Yknow since I’ll already be in the camp anyway.

        Nobody is going to vote for Trump because of this. But it WILL cause enough folks to get dejected and not vote at all, and that’s all it’ll take for Trump to win. Democrats need a candidate people can be excited about voting for, or they WILL lose.

        The “but the other guy is worse!” approach won’t work this time.

            When the GOP and Dems both think they’d do better if we had other options than them.

            I.e. trick them

      Why are you acting like he’s not doing this of his own desire? Biden is a zionist like 99% of other American politicians. Netanyahu isn’t making him do this. He’s just doing it.

      Think I’m gonna vote for Trump just to shut up Biden’s genocide supporters.

      If they don’t want me voting for Trump, they will have to run someone other than Genocide Joey!

        You could vote 3rd party but I feel you prefer Trump and want an excuse to vote for him.

          You’d be wrong about that, but I feel like you’re the kind of person to believe whatever he wants.

            So instead of voting for a 3rd party that’s actually anti-zionist, ur gonna vote for one of the only people who could make the situation worse than genocide Joe?

              People keep telling me Trump is in bed with Russia, who is in bed with Iran, who is in bed with Hamas.

              Which is it?
