    The whole phrase ‘bypassing Congress’ is propaganda. It’s literal weapons sales. Those are not required to go through Congress. I disagree with those sales, but what he’s doing is perfectly legal and not backhanded.

      It is legal, it is backhanded, and to add onto it. I believe he ran it by Congress later on, and they okayed it.

      That doesn’t change the fact that he did it, and bypassed congressional oversight.

      We can’t be OK with someone else being what we don’t want them to be this because they’re on our side.

      If you don’t call out your own side, just as much as you call anyone else’s, then it just doesn’t matter.

      Why are we all calling out Israel so much but aren’t surprised at what Hamas?

      Because one is so obvious that it doesn’t need to be fucking done, and the other is people that we thought were going to be better than that being so much worse than we thought they were.

        I am not saying it’s okay. In fact, in the comment you replied to, I said I don’t approve.

        We need laws to prevent this sort of action.
