US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday that he had signed a declaration to expedite delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel, in what he cast as US President Donald Trump’s rejection of restrictions placed by predecessor Joe Biden.

The Trump administration, which took office on January 20, has approved nearly $12 billion in major foreign military sales to Israel, Rubio said in a statement, adding that it “will continue to use all available tools to fulfill America’s long-standing commitment to Israel’s security, including means to counter security threats.”

    Yup, BidenSoOld and KamalaJustAsBad arguments were (and are) prevalent.

    Many have still learned absolutely nothing, instead proclaiming it is the Democrats that have learned nothing as icing on the cake.

      I mean…dems haven’t learned anything. They still are trying to say it’s because they went too far left when in reality they keep pushing right trying to chase some ethereal version of a center-right Republican voter.

      They need to go back to the version of themselves where they are actually a party of the working class. Instead, we’re still witnessing them chasing dollars.

      Biden sent 20 billion last August and then sent an other 8 billion less then two months ago as one of the last things he did in office.

      They are just as bad on gaza.

      It seems backwards to blame voters instead of the party that stomped on their own election.

      The actual icing is the fact that the dems actually had to “learn” that genocide isn’t okay. And while they huddle up and think of the best way to lose the next election, we have to actually eat the icing and it taste like shit.

      But yeah, keep blaming anyone but the ones that are actually in charge of the platform and what they run on.

      BidenSoOld and KamalaJustAsBad arguments

      Kamala just as bad arguments exist because Kamala campaigned on being the same as Biden. If she didn’t want to be perceived as being the same as him, why did the campaign on being the same as him?
