    If the left wants to see a real genocide, then send to Gaza all the trannies who support Hamas.

    To be honest I don't know because your wacko lefty leaders won't say, you don't know either so stop acting like you do. The bottom line you on the left are the biggest hypocrites in the world.

    Well, sure, as Islamic "true believers" they believe that all sexual perverts and deviants should be thrown off the roofs of buildings!

    Didn't your link provide a possible reason? As some others have wrote?

    ...
    The move comes as the Biden administration is trying to pressure Israel not to launch a full-scale invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza without a credible plan to protect the million civilians seeking refuge there. On Tuesday, Israel began what its officials called a "precise" operation in Rafah.

    I do know. Perhaps if you stop reading fake news, you would know the actual answer.

    Bottom line is righties love crying about fake news...yet consume it when it supports their narrative. Look at how many people continue consuming the fake news.

    Biden stopped at single shipment, but its okay for Trump to do it no questions asked lol!

    What the heck do you THINK he was asking for you didn't follow it at the time or something? He was requesting they aid in our investigation as required by the mutual assistance treaty just like we have with LOTS of countries.

    Show us the formal communications that show Trump going through the proper channels to initiate a formal investigation.

    Odd because you guys criticize Biden for doing what Trump did even though there is no evidence of Biden demanding any investigation into Trump.

    I would add also that Trump actually stated in the call that he didn't necessarily want Ukraine to actually investigate it, just to announce the start of an investigation.
    That statement, to me, underscores the true intent of the phone call, only to create some "dirt" on Biden, not to actually do anything about corruption.

    You know but wouldn't tell. So predictable and today we actually do know, for some reason I doubt you do. Now we know, Biden in wartime is actually holding shipment of weapons to an alley just like the left claimed he wasn't. Shocker.

    So Trump weaponized the treaty to investigate a political opponent?

    Its easy to find. Just have to look outside of typical MSM sources which some refuse to do.

    He held back a shipment. Why should I care? Past precedence showed president can withhold aid for any reason at all.

    That's what you claim because "what's going on" and lefty circle jerk went nuts. Now they have no problem with using local and federal judicial system to come up with BS charges to keep an opponent from running. Pathetic but your side just can't help but say one thing and do the opposite. Election Integrity at its finest.

    Noticed you still haven't shared with the board what he's withholding from an alley during a war that weeks ago he said they desperately need. I bet you can't find another instance where an American President withheld approved munitions to a major ally while at war, so stop with President's withhold all the time BS. This isn't a normal f'ing day for Israel.

    IMO, that is probably true. His advisors, especially his intelligence advisors, should have warned him not to comment on anything related to Burisma even though it looked like open-and-shut corruption.

    OTOH, presidential "teams" often undermine presidents. Perhaps not always intentionally.

    “Biden’s own biography has been recounted in many other places, but suffice it to say that he makes for a striking contrast with this A-Team—from Sullivan, the academic whiz kid, to the worldly, almost aristocratic Blinken. Biden’s administration may be staffed with the best and the brightest, but the president himself was a mediocre student who attended his local state university and a lower-tier law school. He comes from an era before the political class was fully professionalized, when prestige and polish counted for less and folksiness counted for more. Biden’s gut instincts sometimes align naturally with the policy prescriptions of Sullivan and Blinken, but other times, it’s as if they are trying to shape policy around what they know the boss wants.”
    THE NATION, The Great Humbling, How Did Joe Biden’s Foreign Policy Go So Off Course?, BOOKS & THE ARTS / DAVID KLION, APRIL 9, 2024. (emphasis mine)
    https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/biden-foreign-policy-internationalists/

    I doubt that it ever occurs to the "best and brightest" on JRB's A-Team that a veteran political leader with many decades of experience at the highest levels of our government might be better poised to make decisions than any "team" of Ivy League All Stars.

    Biden is bending his knee and kissing the rings of terrorists and their supporters - just to get votes.

    Biden warns US will not supply weapons for Israel’s offensive attack on Hamas-controlled Rafah

    WASHINGTON — President Biden said Wednesday that “I’m not supplying the weapons” if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu moves forward with a full attack on the Hamas-controlled city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip.

    “I made clear that if they go into Rafah — they haven’t gotten into Rafah yet — if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett in a rare sit-down interview.

    What nonsense. Zelensky wasnt even aware that the aid had been delayed. Wheres the strong arming?
    And with Hunters laptop we now know such an investigation was warranted and needed to expose corruption in Ukraine and the US

    Ronald Reagen did the same when Israel invaded Lebanon. You assertion that no other president withheld aid during a war is fake news.

    Nope. He requested they assist in an investigation that has Hunter Biden in court right now over tax and bribery charges.

    I've had some time to do a little digging into the details of Biden holding up SOME of the weapons to Israel, and after some scrutiny I have to agree, I think it was a fair thing to do. He only held up the sale of "dumb" bombs, 2000 lb bombs that have a large blast radius and not laser guided, so more inaccurate, causing catastrophic collateral damage. Biden feels that Israel isn't being responsible enough with them, and I agree. It was rather embarrassing nationally when the Saudis used a US purchased missile to hit a school bus full of kids in Yemen. I agree in limiting certain types of weapons to certain nations if they can't be responsible with the use of them.

    So then why did he withhold aid? Did Trump use the treaty in investigate a political opponent? What bribery charges is Hunter facing in court?
