The State Department announced on Friday that it was planning to send Israel more than $6.5 billion of weapons aid that included Apache attack helicopters and combat land vehicles, bypassing a congressional review process.
The packages of four weapons systems had been under review for months by the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The State Department is supposed to wait for approval from the top two members on each of those committees before announcing the aid. But in this case, the department under Secretary of State Marco Rubio circumvented that norm.
It was the third time that the Trump administration has bypassed this part of the congressional process, called informal review, to send weapons to Israel.
Remember when Republicans were screeching about Biden giving away ‘too much taxpayer dollars’ to Ukraine?
…crickets now.

Republicans have decided they don’t care if the President overstep his authority anymore, as long as it hurts people they hate. A category which includes Palestinians, I guess.
Nah, they don’t care if Palestinians get hurt. They do however care if the land special to their cult is favored above all because that’s what the man baby in the sky would want. So they send everything to Israel in the hopes that man baby in the sky will choose them as special people too

You never cared about palestinians. You know very well that every single goddamn president gave billions to israel , you know very well that Harris would have let israel exterminating Gaza. I don’t think you ever condemned israel war crimes either
I didn’t even start about Genocide Joe but since you brought it up yourself
6.5 billion vs 147 million. While both are bad, one is undeniably worse. 44 times worse to be precise. An analogy for the whole last presidential race

It is as bad with Biden and would have been as bad Harris. All three of them are war criminals that should be in jail
If a Democrat did it, they would be impeached, you are correct.
I don’t remember you asking Biden to be impeached for the same action but yeah it should be a good reason to impeache
Lemmy tags are so great. Have you tagged as maga cuck.

So what’s the point of Congress again?
The circus part of bread and circuses.
I feel Congress is more the bread part. If you don’t have money, they’ll let you live. But just barely. Don’t want the slaves getting too comfortable.
The circus is 'ol “grab 'em by the neck pussy” Drumpf.
Can a reporter please ask why his neck looks like a vagina. That would be fucking great to watch
Republicans made Congress a distraction. Democrats let it happen.
Once people figure out politics is just business then the perspective changes. It’s just that people like distractions more than paying attention. See Fox News Propaganda for a great example of both.
Thank dog we torpedoed Kamala for her genosidal transphoblic failure to support the proletariate
Kamala lost fair and square. She was a shitty candidate who ran a shitty campaign. Supposing that Arabs and tankies are what lost her the election, well, perhaps she should have tried to win them over? Perhaps she could have promised to stop supporting the mass slaughter, for instance, but I guess unconditional support for Israel was more important than keeping Trump out of the White House!
And yet, despite the total failure of the Democrats to stop Trump, you still cling to them. “If only those damn Arabs had voted for us! So what if we’re killing their families?” “Tankies torpedoed Kamala for not being the perfect candidate!” Pathetic! You should own your failure - the Democrats failed you, and you failed yourselves and everyone else for not demanding more from them. You could have used this to grow as a person, morally and intellectually. Instead, you just fall back on scolding like in 2016. You’ll never learn a thing.
The failure was of Americans to not stop trump. The democrats wouldn’t be as bad a the republicans, so it was pure dumbfuckery to not vote for them. Why didn’t Kamala appeal to every one of your wants? Sure it’s part because of donors; but also because any issue has potential voters on both sides. There was no selection of issue stances that would have garnered enough votes if people only voted if they agreed with all of them. And clearly enough Americans were (and apparently still are) unable to see the logic of voting for the better candidate even if not perfect.
She was too busy trying to win over the father right far right.
Sure, Americans are definitely to blame. The Democrats are Americans, by the way.
100% this.
It feels like we have about an average of about 4 headlines per day in which the tankies and the reactionary centrists are exposed as the frauds or the useful idiots that they are…
Biden did it too and kamala would have done it too. Get lost you hypocrite

Biden that you defend is a proud christian. You are a scummy hypocrite
In his memoir, Biden writes that his idea of self, family, and community comes “straight from my religion.” He describes himself as both a “theological” and “cultural” Catholic
Biden unlike his Catholic faith actually supports women’s rights to an abortion. And doesn’t support forced to carry. But ya Catholicism can get fucked as well
You still there nazi? Didn’t you say you will block me twice? He send billions just like Trump to a jewish extrimist religion state comiting genocide , murder palestinians women and rape young girls.
You defend one of the two genocide enabler who is giving billions to israel to murder women. You are no different from christians, muslims and jewish extremists
with the exception of buhddism
Even Buddhist have extremists
More slurs. Goodness what a loser.
You can more about slurs than someone shamelessly defending war criminals
It’s just so easy not to do it.
If it means a a free Palestine under Hamas rule, or Israel and women LGBTQ having rights I guess I’m aa pro Israel cuck. I hate all religion I just hate the extremists Fascist clowns like yourself more. Women have a right to their bodies. Did that make you cry bitch?
Yes, that does make you a Nazi.
I mean Palestinians has the right to kill idf terrorists committing genocide You defend one of the two scums who is giving billions to Israel so you are again exposing your hypocrisy and that money is used to keep the women you pretend to defend. Fuck you and your whole family nazi
I didnt help install Trump Nazi. You did.
Imagine thinking harris and trump are the same? LMAO now I know you are fucking retarded and I’m wasting my time arguing with a religious Nazi with an IQ of 0.
I didnt help install Trump Nazi. You did.
It is you who helped installing the nazi trump
Imagine thinking harris and trump are the same? LMAO now I know you are fucking retarded and I’m wasting my time arguing with a religious Nazi with an IQ of 0.
I never said that harris is worse or the same as trump , you are the retard. The nazi is you, you admitted that you wanted the gestapo to kidnapp me , you can’t afford to condemn harris agreeing with the new hitler about the plan to exterminate Palestine. Fuck you and your whole family

For not supporting a war criminal you surprisingly did more than nothing to get the worst of them in power. It’s almost like you care about identity politics more than actual real life outcomes for people you supposedly care about

You supported Trump by not voting you asshat of a clown
I am not american scumbag so stop shifting the blame on me when it is you who is defending people supporting genocide.
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5554428-trump-administration-israel-hamas-agreement/
Look how retarded you are. when it comes to defending Israel your bitch that your whole family eat her pussy agree with genocide Trump. Fuck you and your whole family
Only time I’ll ever say this and 100 percent mean it. I hope ice finds you
See how retarded you are now you support the new Hitler(Trump) and his secret police(the gestapo)
I do not wish anybody to be iced because i am a decent human being unlike savages like you
No fuck you. Palestinian protest voters like you are the reaspn Trump is in office a second time. What’s wrong clown? Things not better for the people of Gaza under the antichrist that you helped put on power by not voting?
Personally I don’t give two fucks about the middle east. I hate that Gaza children are being murdered, I very much want all funding to Israel reduced to 0. But when it comes to women and LGBTQ rights being pro Palestine while Hamas is in charge is being about as dumb as you are.
But you probably don’t care about those rights anyway do you. So in my eyes, you are a right wing theocrat of a different made up religion
The white moderate is at it again, MLK remains undefeated in his assessment
Fuck you. I never supporter Trump and never asked anybody to vote for him and I said multiple time that he is a genocide supporter while you support one of the two war criminal and genocidal enabler
Personally I don’t give two fucks about the middle east.
So fuck off, scum. As a decent human being I do not want any harm for Americans despite not being American and thinking that they do not know what is good for them.
I hate that Gaza children are being murdered
You support one of the two war criminals while I support neither so you just a liar and a hypocrite . You clearly love seeing them murdered
So in my eyes, you are a right wing theocrat of a different made up religion
I don’t gives a damn of your trashy opinion about me. If you defend trump or biden or harris gaza policies than you are a nazi to me
Your the Nazi bitch. We don’t take kindly to Nazis here. GTFO
You are the nazi bitch. Fuck you and your whole family
Israel the real American promise land.
Either Congress fix this by taking action against this administration, or just scrap it altogether and fire all of these parasites cashing a paycheck without working.
Can we do both?
Chuck Shumer is shaking in his AIPAC-sponsored boots rn. If he feels that it’s his job to aid Israel, well, he’s out of a job.
I’m sure he’ll 5-head chess this into a “Aha! I meant to do that, because now we don’t have to talk about it anymore and we can concentrate on the important stuff!” speech immediately followed by caving to literally the first R demand.
And the rampage to destroy a superpower goes on. Trump is not a very good president but he is a good and loyal friend to “others”.
