Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yes in this very specific case of genocide, both sides.
There were and are no restrictions from Biden/Harris. They did not stop any weapons or stop giving any money. Their 30 day deadline for food trucks passed and they did nothing. They've already given basically the maximum they could. The only difference in this specific case of genocide between the two is one won't apologize after doing it. They were both still going to do it
There are very literal restrictions with Biden.
No there aren't. Biden even bypassed Congress to get them more weapons faster.
Name one.
You could just read the article but here it is:
Name a "certain weapon" and how it is an enforced policy change.
I ask because I already know that there are no real restrictions, Israel has received constant deliveries of the weaoons it uses to commit this genocide.
Oh just nebulous things that could be anything. It's almost like the only restriction on military aid is stuff we don't give to anyone.
That reminds me of another Fox News hit, "The mobile WMD labs could be up here in the north, (generally waves hand over northern Iraq), or over here in the west, (tosses a finger towards the western deserts), or they could be hiding in baghdad, That's why we need to go in there and find them!"
Narrator: There were no mobile chemical weapon labs.
So I say again. Name one actual restriction. One thing Netanyahu has asked for and not gotten.
I literally did, from the article you’re commenting on but didn’t read.
Don’t try to move the goalposts hear.
No you literally haven't. That's some speculative bullshit. I want what I asked for. One example of something that was denied to the Israelis. Not Fox News dithering about possibilities.
It’s an example straight from the article.
You asked for one thing now you’re putting on other qualifiers.
It's a quote from the article. It's not an example. It's the same as saying there are laws in the US that do things. It's the vaguest non answer possible.
Why do people seem to believe all the pertinent information surrounding this issue is unclassified and available online?
You’d have to believe that to say shit like this.
The war crimes and laws about not sending military aid to war criminals are very public.
My comment is responding to the comment about restrictions.
There's also the fact that Netanyahu has been very vocal anytime something was delayed even just logistically. I highly doubt we're providing any material that's super secret.
I’ll direct you to my first reply in this thread.
Trust us he's totally imposing restrictions behind the scenes,
I'm not saying that so please stop putting words in my mouth.
I'm saying there's very likely lots we don't know. If you don't believe there's lots you don't know about this, I think you're ignorant.
I see a man selling weapons that are being used in an ongoing genocide. I do not believe that something less dishonorable is going on in secret where there is even less public accountability.
We're fully circular already. I'm done with this particular thread.
You're expecting me to buy that Biden is better in secret on this issue than he is in public, but don't want to be called on it.
