Pretty sure there's a picture of Obama doing this too. It's just being respectful while performing diplomacy. Sure, you can argue that this shouldn't happen with Israel, but cherry picking R's doing this and ignoring ALL OF THE D's that did it too is just dishonest. This is misinformation.
You mean the guy who sent like 30 billion dollars in weapons to Israel for free?
Yes, so unlike the last president's actions with Israel. Who was a Dem...
Sure. Dems have unfettering loyalty to Israel too. Doesn't really make it better.
Yeah but Geneva you're missing the point! They pointed out that the other ~~sports team~~ side does it too therefore you lost. Checkmate.
If you're not red, you're blue. No nuance is available, no ability to be neither red or blue. You must pick a team, because... well because they said so! Duh!
Tap for spoiler
/s in case it wasn't obvious enoughNope, not playing whataboutism. I'm simply asking that we don't LIE to make a point. This post is dishonest.
Where is the lie? Does anything in the post suggest that only Republicans do this or is it saying the current administration is?
THEN POINT IT OUT. DONT POST BULLSHIT CLAIMING ITS A ONE SIDED ISSUE.
You're not helping anything by spreading misinformation just because you like it.
I have had Dems complaint about "one sided criticism" when Biden was in power but this is the first time it has happened for Trump.
It's getting highlighted online because Mike Johnson is on a fealty swearing trip in Israel right now.
Oh shut the fuck up already. I'm not "Dems". I'm me. And I'm criticizing YOU for being dishonest and spreading your own propaganda that is easily proven false. It's "getting highlighted" because you posted a bullshit post. It wouldn't be highlighted if you didnt post this crap. Have some goddamn integrity and stop throwing your hands up on the air when criticized. Stop spreading falsehoods and when called out on it, own up to it. You're behaviour is exactly the same as a MAGA trying to pretend to be naive.
Can you point out where the post says only MAGA does this?
