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.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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!

Let's see how conservatives try to defend our spending in Israel. In what way does that money help U.S. citizens in any way? Our relationships with oil-producing countries do not benefit at all from this expense. So... Why spend this money? Go ahead, conservatives. Try to justify your religious cos-play.
Something like "We need to help Israel so that the apocalypse will happen and all Christians will go to heaven while everyone else is cast into the lake of fire."
This is the answer. They selfishly support Israel because they think that’s what their resurrected wizard wanted. Morality and basic human decency be damned.
Conservatives don't need to try to justify it. They want Palestine to burn and all of its inhabitants killed. If that means doing nothing while Israel happily gives the US more money in exchange for American made bombs and guns to continue their genocide, all the better for them.
There's even some weird conservative conspiracy theory that is trying to make Ukraine out to be a secret Muslim plot to replace Christianity in Eastern Europe, with Russia just doing their duty as a good Christian nation trying to prevent that from happening.
Logic doesn't need to reach these people. They don't understand logic, so they have nothing to justify. They're just right and everyone else is wrong and if you stand in their way they'll resort to violence to get what they want.
This spending has never been a concern for conservatives. Not even the fact that those dollars pay for abortions in Israel.
Why aren't you asking Biden? He's the one pushing for this.
Support of Israel is a conservative thing. Biden is a neoliberal. Neoliberals are conservative.
