In a Truth Social post, Trump attacked Biden − and Hamas − by accusing the president of “taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses.”
Trump and Congressional Republicans sat on foreign aid for six months and now they have the balls to criticize
They didn’t just sit. On multiple occasions they attempted to draft legislation to provide Israel with aid independent of Ukraine and Taiwan. Biden said he’d veto any attempts to pass a standalone Israel aid bill in February, and yet they tried again after the Iran retaliation.

Actually, they demanded that all foreign aid was wrapped into one package and border security be added. So, there was a long negotiation on border security. The Senate got through that, passed it and sent it to the House. Trump then told the House Republicans that he wanted to use border security as a campaign issue. So Johnson sat on it another three months, created his own bill without border security, and passed it. The Senate followed, and put it on Biden’s desk.
Yes you’re both correct. It was during that three month period (late January to April) after the version with border security got killed by Trump’s meddling, where Republicans were trying to push a stand alone Israel aid bill without Ukraine aid, and Biden issued his veto threat to any standalone Israel aid bill. The article the person you’re replying to linked was in February, after the border security version one with everything together had failed.
This is what abstaining from voting will invite for protesters and Palestinians.
Future tense. We should continue to try. I won’t judge someone who votes for Trump with conviction. The voter disenfranchisement manipulation on Lemmy is what needs to be challenged. It’s an unethical disengagement strategy, historically used by Republicans to disenfranchise Democratic voters.
I would legitimately be interested to hear what convictions a trump voter had that were real, actual, policy positions.
They’re just generic sales slogans and whatever gaffes he makes that the crowd applauds loudest for. Not actual considered positions.
Good. that’s the message we need to go back and forth here to get uneducated voters away from voting trump because “Biden genocide”. Trump will be worse.
*Trump is worse for everyone that’s not a straight rich white Christian industrialist male with a subterranean bunker.
He’s legitimately good for those guys.
Edit: Whoosh.
Who do you believe to be more competent? The guy who rambles on until the media cuts him off and farts himself awake during trial daily, or the guy that’s four years older than him?
The bOtH siDeS crew must be losing their minds
Oh, the Nazis are angry that a genocide is being paused? What a shocker!
Until very recently, centrist Democrats were calling anyone who suggested withholding weapons russian chinese child shill bot tankie fascists.
I think you mean Republicans. Current polls show 58% of them are still in support of Israel.

I know what I meant, and so do you. Of course Republicans are dogshit.
But I’m not gonna pretend that centrists weren’t screaming abuse at people who opposed genocide until three days ago.
Oh no,the Democrats used a mean name you didn’t like.
Please show us on the doll where that hurt you.
