You don't need guidance systems when you're dropping munitions indiscriminately on women and children.
Can’t we just fucking send them trump? Fuck APAIC and fuck Israel. Nutsacks.
I can't imagine how it must feel to be a Palestinian-American refugee in the US.
They're literally funding the genocide of their own family by paying taxes (as are the rest of US)
This is assuming they’re not already all rounded up by ICE.
Israel was founded by USA and UK after WW2 for a reason.
Since founding, the USA has always funded their military. Not only did you buy the bombs, tanks, and so on, your parents did too, and your grandparents, and your great grandparents (if you are American, anyway). There's a reason that every President I know of has flown out to Israel and visited the Prayer Wall and worn the little hat. It's considered vital to our strategic interests in the area (that's not my assessment).
... and not only Israel! If memory serves, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have also received a lot of military aid.
... and money! So much money is funneled to ME, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, and more.
There are few things in life that you can count on, and that's death, taxes, and US military aid to Israel.
This is one thing that bOtH pArTiEs agree on, there's no "anti-Israel" voting option.
You pay for their bombs. The money they save allows them to have socialized healthcare.
You bust your ass to keep your family with healthcare … and your government helps another country provide THEIR citizens healthcare.
Let that shit sink in.
Yep. This is the argument to make to Republicans. We pay for socialized healthcare for Israel. Ask them to explain why we can justify that while also making cuts to other international healthcare initiatives and denying healthcare to Americans.
nooo my $5000!
trump doesn't have any money. his government is $40T in debt.
It's just imaginary numbers. They can print some paper or add some numbers on a computer if the extremely privileged are at all threatened.

Oh, so THAT'S where our DOGE checks are going!
If it makes you feel any better, I hear they're putting Charlie Kirks face on all the warheads.
They got his neck wrong.
I’ve always appreciated RS for providing actual leftist reporting AKA, truthful coverage of politics.
