So Israel's genocidal rampage is more important than winning in Iran, and all the US military over there are sacrificing their lives for no (useful) reason. I don't get why the right-wingers aren't more incensed over this crap.
No Medicare or Medicaid, no snap, no climate protection, gas crisis, housing crisis But but...... BUT!!!! MONEY FOR EXPLODY SHIT AND A MASS BRIBE!!!!!!!
Trump: I'm so pro-life that I rape whatever kids I can't bomb.
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.
That's a lot of food stamps to cut so bibi the nazi can keep his genocide running.
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.
Your Medicaid and SNAP benefits hard at work!
I'm sending my health care! Hopefully I can die quickly and quietly to push that line just a bit higher for corporate overlords. Hail corporate!
I thought they were running out of bombs for their own "war"?
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.
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.
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.
Oh good my tax dollars will be spent blowing up more innocent people. So much winning!
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.
It's not like USA has a free public healthcare to worry about, they need to spend our money on something, might as well be weapons... right?
Remember fellow Americans, in midterm you better vote for Trump, let's kill more people, more kids, let's send more weapons to Middle East, what's the worst that can happen? 10$ for gallon? Daddy says its a small price to pay...
Rollingstone doing the Lord's work with this one.
Can’t we just fucking send them trump? Fuck APAIC and fuck Israel. Nutsacks.
