Looks like that bastard Bibi brain has stepped over the line so Biden put a hold on ammunition being delivered...

It's a nothingburger as I suspected. [news.antiwar.com]

You always get misinformation from the Trumpanzees or haven't you learned that yet?...

[en.wikipedia.org]

@Lizard_of_Ahaz I get my news from a vast majority of sources, as does antiwar.com which is a compendium site. (You knew that, right?) Makes me vastly better informed than the MSM or the White House and people who think they are reliable news sources. And do you have anything to refute that a single slow down of a single arms shipment makes any freaking difference to Israel's ongoing slaughter? I didn't think so. And by the way, I think Trump and Biden are equally vile, so claiming I am some sort of Trump supporter is just weird. Actually it's hysterical, thanks for the laugh.

@Druvius No it most certainly is NOT, it is the far right-wing Libertarians spreading more Russian disinformation which if you would wake the fuck up instead of listening to them you might not continue making those around you think you are simple minded.
Did you know that Iran is partnered with Russia in these wars?.... No because you listen to Putin instead of those fighting him and dying every day while he slaughters civilian populations conducting his genocidal wars of expansion. Every single person who believes his propaganda or disseminates it is just as guilty as Putin or his cannibalistic army that is doing the dirty work.
How does it feel knowing you are as genocidal and carry as much of the responsibility as the raping, torturing, murderous Russian military?

@Druvius This is the next round of murder you will carry responsibility for with your ignorant arrogance...
How many have to die before you admit you were wrong?

Let's see, Biden is handing weapons as fast as he can to a mass murderer while doing everything in his power to prevent international justice (The so called rules of order Biden is always citing) from holding Israel accountable for its ongoing war crime in Gaza. And now he's pausing one shipment of weapons. If you think this is a significant development, I've got a pier to sell you. @@

It is not Biden's job to tell bibi a damn thing. Biden's actual job is to protect the Constitution and the American people. Sadly we have butted into the business of other countries and it has earned the U.S. both friends and enemies. Eisenhower warned about the military industrial complex and the power armament companies wield over politians.
It's all coming home to roost. Want to solve many of the conflicts? Rein in the military industrial complex and stop big money influencing our elected officials - and judges.

@silverotter11 No shit. The problem is, both major parties are totally all in bipartisan, in supporting our system of legalized bribery and the MIC, so good luck with that, until the majority of voters are ready to vote third party, instead of for the duopoly..

@TomMcGiverin He gets his bullshit news from the Libertarian party far rightwing and is too stupid to realize he is getting Trumpanzee nonsense...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz Who are you referring to here? Druvius? I assure you, he seems more like me, a socialist, from my experience here with him, rather than a Libertarian. Can you clarify or explain your last comment?

@TomMcGiverin His information comes from antiwar dot com which is a far right-wing Libertarian operated disinformation site known for pushing Russian propaganda... Anyone who spreads than nonsense is at best a useful idiot...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz And you think the corporate media in the US is anything but corporate and pro MIC propaganda, at least when it comes to foreign policy and economic issues?

@TomMcGiverin And you don't think the corporate media isn't in the GOP's back pocket?.... They are pretty much all sucking Trump's dick for the ratings and the advertising dollars that come with it...

Personally I think this is a necessary move and could or should have happened sooner. Since I'm not gonna be protesting on a campus I simply called my reps in WA DC and and asked if they couldn't maybe put a bug in someone's ear about stopping ammo being sent to Bibi. There are ways to support Israel without sending guns. imho

Writing letters to the editor and contacting your congress critters, is what naive, idealistic middle class people still do, thinking that the system still works, and that we have a functioning democracy, which even Jimmy Carter, admitted that we don't. So suit yourself and contact and vote away, it won't change anything.. Unless you can start writing the kind of checks the billionaires and corporations do to the pols, you will be ignored..

@TomMcGiverin I have all Dems in DC. When the COVID pandemic hit (whether you believe it was real or not) and trump started spouting stuff about the elections, my major concern was that trump would use it as a reason to not hold an election. I called both my senators and expressed my concerns about what trump might try. I was surprised and pleased when Senator Patty Murray parroted my words and concerns. WA State is all mail in balloting and places in my county added more secure ballot boxes to make it easier for people to vote.
So sometimes a good idea is listened to.
The bigger picture is a concern and things like the Electoral College have to change.

@silverotter11 Good ideas are only listened to from us peasants, if they cost the rich and corporations nothing, and if the pols think it might also help them win votes. But that former priority is much more important to the pols, esp. the Dem ones..

@TomMcGiverin What really bugs me are the same old tropes dredged up over and over again and always a certain segment of the population goes for it. Both parties helped to serve up trump.
It's the vicious bullies that make up so much of the elected officials today that is scary. The bullis are not the majority they just make more noise, which would lead me to a rant on the media. LOL
I which we could get beyond 2 parties and rein in big money influence.

@silverotter11 Me too, but it'll never happen with the current system, because both major parties, as well as the SC for decades, have supported the current system of legalized bribery, ie. big money politics, rather than real campaign finance reform and public financing of fed elections.
