If his conscience worked he wouldn’t be bending over backwards to illegally supply weapons of war to a country engaged in a genocide.
It’s commonly understood that injecting one’s opinion into a discussion that requires facts, is it poor taste.
However, in the interest of fair play, how about you go ahead and prove that Biden is “bending over backwards” to “illegally” supply weapons of war.
Provide evidence that:
A) He’s “bending over backwards
-and
B) It’s illegal.
Otherwise, admit that you’re here to spread false information. So we can flag your comment as propaganda.
He structured (illegal) the arms deals so that they wouldn’t meet the minimum amount for congressional oversight. That would be the bending over backward, and illegal part.
Could you show us a source that shows he did this?
the current security cooperation ecosystem is overwhelmingly subject to the will and preferences of the executive branch, and the ability of lawmakers to shape arms sales decisions or intercede in transfers they oppose is exceptionally circumscribed. President Biden’s use of the AECA’s emergency provision to transfer weapons to Israel despite grave humanitarian and human rights concerns is emblematic of an enterprise that is run by a narrowing set of stakeholders and without sufficient checks and balances that are key to democratic governance.
It wasn’t illegal. Nor was it bending over backwards. Stop with the misinformation.
Also you’ve provided no evidence to support your opinion.
Do you even know what structuring means lol?
Do you know what illegal means lol?
Let me help you out, friend;
Structuring is when criminals make transactions intentionally splitting larger amounts into a series of smaller sums to avoid scrutiny from law enforcement or compliance obligations. In other words, criminals strategically structure deposits just under the threshold to prevent unwanted attention.
The act itself is illegal.
From the quote in the article he seemed surprised it was an issue…
The statement marks an apparent reversal from what Biden said Friday. While at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, the president was asked, “Do you regret using the word ‘illegal’ to describe immigrants last night, sir?”
“Well, I probably — I don’t re — technically not supposed to be here,” he responded.
Probably because he’s been hanging out with republicans again.
The Democrats told Biden that he needed to show more of the fire that was on display in a closed-door meeting with governors when Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte handed him a letter demanding more action on the southern border. Biden flashed a smile, according to two of the governors standing there.
"State of the Union,” Biden said, teasingly.

Dude is 81 fucking years old, and all it takes is five minutes of face time with a Republican till he thinks he’s back in “the good old days” with Strom Thurmond and Mitch McConnell
He planned this stupid shit and legitimately thought it was a good move.
He’s completely out of touch with Dem voters
It’s hilarious to me that while he was Obama’s VP, and even up to a few months ago I was saying Biden is as far right as you can get in a democrat, and that he’s filthy with the blood of the drug war. And everyone would downvote me and defend Biden, now here we are.
Corn Pop was
a bad dude an illegala bad dude
I dislike Biden immeasurably less than Trump, and I plan to vote for him in November, yet:
“It is a red line," Biden said, adding, “but I’m never gonna leave Israel. The defense of Israel is still critical.”
That sounds to me like there is, in fact, not a red line.
Drawing a line without any consequences for crossing it is worse than not drawing a line at all (source: my pedagogy prof, many, many moons ago).
I realize that Biden did not, in fact, say that there were not going to be any consequences at all - but the other thing with lines is that the consequences need to be known in advance, and they need to be adhered to. From all I’m hearing in interviews, the US government seems very hesitant to commit to any consequences, and if the slaughter keeps going, it may save Netanyahu’s political career, but seriously bite Biden in the tush come election day.
Didn’t he say something about a 2 state solution being the eventual goal?
The two state solution here seems to be a border with Israel on one side and Egypt on the other.
This is just willful ignorance at this point, the administration has been saying consistently since at least a month after October 7th, that a two state solution was the only answer to permanently solve the crisis.
And yet they will do nothing to make it happen, just like every administration before them. At what point will you care that it’s just lip service?
