That doesn't answer the question. How exactly did they give money to Israel illegally? Did Biden sign a check? Did someone authorize a wire transfer?

I'm not Deepthroat, Edward Snowden, or Julian Assange.

The Treasury department is under the executive branch which doesn't make sense since Congress is supposed to have the power of the purse. The Treasury handles U.S. debt and securities.

And most importantly, if it was an illegal transfer, surely Republicans who have been looking for any excuse to impeach Biden would have pounced by now, right?

They get their cake and eat it too. Genocide in Palestine and Biden loses young and Muslim voters.

Only certain kinds of Christians, though. Evangelicals don't hold Catholics in much higher esteem than they do atheists.

Me too! So why do we care?

Oh. Wait. That's easy.

Dude came into a topic about how dangerous the GOP is and started lying about reasons why the democrats are just as bad and has all but said fuck anyone in America, he only cares about Palestinians. Sorry if that's not antagonistic enough for you.

Yeah he ethnically similar to them, per his words. He sees anything less than full understanding is the acceptance of killing people like him, which is not even a debatable point. That survival, so the conversation end. Who cares about America if people like you and yours are dead? It a perfectly reasonable position.

So do you not see the hypocrisy in this post? Youre accusing people of not caring about Palestinians because they only care about themselves, while readily stating that you care about palestinians more than any other people.

It is not a reasonable position for someone who is an American citizen. It is a reasonable position for like a citizen of Jordan.

There's Palestinians with dual citizenship. Many of the journalists Israel has been murdering in fact.

it is a perfectly reasonable position to not care about people different from you. To slightly correct.

Still not a good take. Especially to go to bat about people daring to be not super nice to somebody doing the same thing he took offence to of people not being super nice to others while he was more than happy to be silent of his buddy repeatedly claiming others supported genocidefor daring to understand nuance.

You do realize the country you live in is not necessarily the community you care about right? Hell, most of human history has countries being hostile to the people within its borders, and large part of the people in that country being a threat to you.

Like this whole topic started about Republicans being a threat to everyone that not them lol. It painfully obvious you said this to be a contrarian without even thinking

Wow this topic brought out the Sunday chuds.

Nah. I thought it out. And stand by it. As an American citizen, not caring at all about America is inherently against your own self interest. Since what happens to the country has a direct effect on you.

When significant parts of the country had to fight against their own government to be seen as citizens worthy of respect, this too goofy of a response to be taken seriously.

It is also inherently against the community and other people I care about as well as plenty of other people I will never meet but understand that they deserve the right to exist without the government trying to fuck with them. And even if they weren't, again, one party is actively a net negative to everything I could imagine caring about.

In fact, while I may be a rude cuss at times, the notion of only caring about people like me is completely alien.

every election year you have 'concerned citizens' who yell about both sides. this time they are pretending to care about gaza, but these are the same people who bootlick trump and the gop on this site every single time

I hope undecided voters are taking these people seriously. A whole lot of people are going to be fucked if these lunatics regain power.

Are you kidding?

Turnout will be laughably bad with the 2 candidates Americans have. As CNN suggests, the couch will see the highest turnout at this rate, with Trump destroying modern western civilization because ppl think Biden made potato chip prices part of his dark state agenda.

Trying to improve how your country treats its people falls under the banner of caring about your country.

2020 had the highest voter participation in history with literally these same 2 candidates.

Also, CNN is fucking right-wing trash after it was acquired by the Trumper Zaslav, who wanted to make it more Republican friendly, well even more so than they already were, and all they seem to care about is depressing voter turnout as that hurts Dems more than Republicans, who don't even watch CNN.

Their point is that the media is trying their best to dampen turnout. It's why they run non stop coverage of Biden stuttering and ignore Trump's gaffe's completely. Or why they're routinely asking people like Gavin Newsom when he's entering the race, or allowing others to write articles talking about Biden needing to be ousted from the race.

The one sided media coverage favoring Republicans at nearly every turn tells you how our corporate overlords want the election to go.

Looks like instead of asking for permission from Congress the Biden administration just said they could. The Supreme Court likes genocide and hates loan forgiveness.

Josh Paul, who recently resigned from the State Departments Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, called the move unprecedented.

Their point seemed to be giving CNN credence over CNN's doomerism leading to a terrible election. They opened up by saying it would be worst turnout cause of these 2 candidates when these 2 candidates in 2020 gave us the election with the highest participation in history.

Their whole post just came off like ignorant doomerism validating our corporate mainstream media's shitty narrative of what's actually happening this election season to shove their own narrative.

You gave good criticism that you seem to have also read within their post, they didn't, they just regurgitated CNN bullshit seemingly validating it.

Although, to their credit, they at least did talk about in the end Biden being blamed for things that aren't in his control and irresponsibly reported to/ believed by the masses, so I'm open to being wrong on my assessment.

One of the one's claiming somebody didn't care about Palestinians was also hit. I didn't fish through the posts quoting him very far.

I took it more sarcastically personally, not that they were defending CNN or even citing them, but pointing out how stupid these reasonings are. It's like the meme of people living in a fallout shelter and the caption is, 'but her emails', which is hilarious since one of the biggest Anti Biden people appears to be someone using that handle too.

Other than their opening sentence I can see where you're coming from.

I have nothing personal against the poster and am open to being wrong.

How many 500 post centrist dumpster fire topics like this are we going to see between now and the election?

Anyone who is doing the "both sides" bullshit for this election is a Republican troll or a useful idiot for Republican trolls. The last thing anyone should do is engage with these clowns in any serious way.

I can't wrap my head around their logic. In what world is the greater of two evils preferable to the lesser of two evils?

When they secretly support the greater of the two evils.
