Biden seeks to "allow for the transfer of all categories of defense articles," his request states

The White House has formally requested the removal of restrictions on all categories of weapons Israel is allowed to access from U.S. weapons stockpiles in the country, as I reported in detail for The Intercept today. So you know I’m not exaggerating, here’s a screenshot of the request:

The request would also remove nearly all other limits on Israel’s ability to access the U.S. weapons stockpiles — permanently —by doing the following:

Dude is commiting a fucking political suicide. He's determined to force people not to vote for him.

Yeah, it’s been “hold your nose and vote for the least insane” for a long time now, but more the choice is “the guy who supports genocide” or “the guy who really really supports genocide.”

Fucking two party first post the post bullshit. This is going to get Trump elected when the people who cant bear to vote for genocide stay home or vote third party.

The Democratic National Convention of August, 1968 was in Chicago. It was marked by massive riots, after the April and June assassinations of the Rev Martin Luther King Jr and Democratic POTUS candidate Robert Kennedy, respectively. It was triggered by many issues, including anti-Vietnam War sentiment.

Interestingly, the August, 2024 DNC will be in Chicago. Maybe it’s time for the people of the United States to come together for another “year that breaks America”, and fight for the need to eliminate the DNC/RNC corporate stranglehold and work toward establishing a ranked voting system.

Or we could continue to choose between happy uncle fascist or bloated grifter fascist.

Yup. It's getting more difficult every election cycle. I'm highly thinking of sitting it out this time. I can't, with a clear conscious, vote for either of these two.

Yeah, you sure show em. Sitting out. Rebel.

Fucking dumb take.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah, you sheeps are what's fucking up this country. Go fall in line, shut up and vote. Fuck outta here with your bullshit.

third party

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I did vote for the green party last time. Might do it again, because fuck both Dems and Republicans.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In what universe would Trump be a better alternative?

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He never will be, but I can't vote for Biden either. Maybe the country DOES need to burn to the ground so people do something about it.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 5 points 11 months ago

That's the most selfish shit. That's people you're talking about burning to the ground.

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He's certainly lost the Muslim vote.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I'm Arabic American and won't be voting for him.
