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!

No, sure didn't
No, sure didn't. In some instances money had all ready been allocated from last year. In some instances, material was transfered following rules Congress gave the President.
What's this, then?
Were you instead mocking someone for being upset about genocide? Do you suppose that's a good look?

Guess the AP are all a bunch of Russians out to get poor ol' Biden. Biden circumvented congress and since you support what he circumvented congress to do, you're lying about it.
My imitation of you.
As I've said, Biden can do that. CONGRESS gave him the ability to do it. You can't call it circumnavigation when I tell you beforehand that it's OK to go around me.
So you imitated me in response to another person being upset about genocide.
What possessed you to act like that?
I'll trust the AP over you.
The AP never claimed it was improper. You did.
I did nothing of the sort.
So Biden’s use of emergency arms shipments were proper. Very good.
That's not how I would describe circumventing congress to sell weapons for a genocide.
He didn't circumnavigate. He sent an emergency shipment which Congress allowed him to do.
Hmmm. Who do I consider more credible? Is it some guy on the internet who mocks people for being upset about genocide? Or is it the Associated Press?
The AP never said it was improper.
And neither did I. They did say he bypassed congress though. Which he did.
Perhaps you need to find the difference between bypassing and circumnavigation.
How finely can Rapidcreek split a hair in defense of genocide? I no longer fucking care.
I must confess English is my first language.
