Please learn how politics works before pretending to have knowledge. Biden is full controll to stop arms shipments it's called Leahy Law and Biden is violating it. The entire Biden administration are Genocidal Nazis who need to be put in jail for life.

US uses loophole to keep 100 arms sales to Israel under the radar amid Gaza war

Biden administration not required to disclose sales below set dollar amount, in addition to public shipments worth over $573m

Please learn what irony is before making such ridiculous statements. I don't tolerate bad faith nonsense from fascists or their useful idiots.

Congress is in control here, we do not actually have a unitary executive, despite the best efforts of the fascist party you insist on helping daily.

Does the executive branch not have the authority to execute laws?

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Laws long occluded by complex criteria and special concessions carved out for this particular scenario. Does the legislative branch not control the purse?

What kind of clown blames the guy who's trying to help but not hard enough, instead of the ghouls actively causing the problem and stonewalling his efforts to help?

Google Leahy Law and consider lurking a bit more before commenting as if you know what you're talking about.

Oh the Leahy Law that specifically carves out complex exceptions for Israel? Consider reading more than the headline when you're googling foreign policy.

Dunno what I'm supposed to get from reading the exact same thing a second time.

I'll make you a deal, you acknowledge the fact that Biden tried in good faith to hold shipments to Israel in response to Rafah only to be blocked by Congress, and I'll pretend you've been mistaking Biden for Blinken this whole time.

Try reading it once. What does it say the reason is Blinken lied?
