Biden administration is sending $1 billion more in weapons, ammo to Israel, congressional aides say - Lemmy.World

>The Biden administration has told key lawmakers it is sending a new package of more than $1 billion in arms and ammunition to Israel, three congressional aides said Tuesday. >It’s the first arms shipment to Israel to be announced by the administration since it put another arms transfer — consisting of 3,500 bombs — on hold this month. The administration has said it paused that earlier transfer to keep Israel from using the bombs in its growing offensive in the crowded southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Biden doesn’t want to win this election.

Do you get it yet? We have to move on past Biden if we don’t want Trump.

If people didn’t PTSD themselves into staying with Biden for the last 7 months we’d have a different candidate by now.

This election has the worst two candidates ever. If this isn’t the time to jump ship then it will never happen.

For real, Biden should not have been the candidate, and now we’re stuck with him.

There’s still 6 months. I liked what Cornel West told Mehdi Hasan during his interview. It was along the lines of

“I’m not likely to win but if all the stars align then I can’t capitalize on it if I wasn’t there”.

A lot of life comes down to participating and a large part of the result can be luck. Even if there’s a 1/3000 chance that a third party would win, this would be one of the more likely elections in which that could happen if a massive wave of migration happens from the Democrats to a third party candidate.

At this point all we can do is pray and hope the ballots get hit with a heatwave and the name checked on them smear into a third party candidate’s name while gamma waves do the same with the digital ballots.

It really feels like people in this country don’t want a better future. They truely want the best of two awful ones but only for themselves, screw everyone not in your immediate vicinity.
