No Medicare or Medicaid, no snap, no climate protection, gas crisis, housing crisis But but… BUT!!! MONEY FOR EXPLODY SHIT AND A MASS BRIBE!!!
Oh good my tax dollars will be spent blowing up more innocent people. So much winning!
Can’t we just fucking send them trump? Fuck APAIC and fuck Israel. Nutsacks.
I thought they were running out of bombs for their own “war”?
These are big-ass bombs used to blow up schools and hospitals. We have plenty, since that’s what we love doing. What we’re short on is air-defence missiles, like patriots, since we aren’t used to anyone bombing back.
You don’t need guidance systems when you’re dropping munitions indiscriminately on women and children.
TBF when the Americans use guided munitions, they tend to drop them on an awful lot of innocents.
Including a girls school
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.
That’s one thing people don’t get. Folks have been sick of Israel’s shit since I’ve been born. We stopped complaining because it does no good.
nooo my $5000!
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.
No, you still have to pay taxes. Even when you’re actively being tortured in a cage.
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.
trump doesn’t have any money. his government is $40T in debt.
You realize that that debt is owned by rich people including him, right?
He has loads of money, and the taxpayers are giving it to him and his family long after he dies.
I doubt Trump personally holds any significant amount of bonds
Wealth is about resources and assets. You also don’t need bonds to be rich, and you don’t need treasury bonds to own debt.
Wtf would an 80 year old want bonds anyways? Unless they are maturing soon.
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.
Rollingstone doing the Lord’s work with this one.
That’s a lot of food stamps to cut so bibi the nazi can keep his genocide running.
Food stamps for the needy? Bad!
Bomb stamps for a genocidal regime? Good?
If welfare queens exist, then Israel is the ultimate welfare queen. Just sucking up money and never becoming a productive member of the world.
I’d argue they’re welfare fraudsters rather than welfare queens. They’ve got tons of money, most of the tech industry is connected to Israeli engineering. They’re just also constantly getting even more money so they don’t need to spend as much of their own money. Always best to waste someone else’s money.
I’d argue they’re welfare fraudsters rather than welfare queens.
“Welfare fraudster” is exactly what “welfare queen” means, and is why the term is so offensive.
It’s not even money they are cutting from social programs though they are doing that too obviously, it’s all borrowed. The ruling class are going for broke, we will be at 50 trillion debt by 2028 easy. I bet even more, all they need is a national emergency.
It’s time for the Final Solution. Then Trump and Kushner can finally develop the Jewish Dubai out of the ruins. That’s what he’s getting in exchange for full collaboration.
I thought we needed those bombs? Didn’t Biden cause the problem by giving away all our precious bombs to Ukraine, not TACO with his Iran war? So I guess the shortage must be over if we have enough to give to Israel. Such a relief to know we are safe again.
Different bombs. These are dumb bombs, US can’t get close enough to Iran to use these. They tried already and lost aircraft. So they have to use guided bombs and missiles.
Israels genocide is uncontested, so they have no issues dropping dumb bombs.
It was my understanding most of it was WWII surplus.
The WWII surplus basically doesn’t exist outside museums. The vast majority would have been used (especially in training) or updated. Even just chemical instability and environmental degradation would have made anything too dangerous to really leave in an arsenal.
Fuck isreal. It should be wiped off the map.
That would mean killing Palestinians, which is what they’re already doing.
