Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

What's this, then?
Were you instead mocking someone for being upset about genocide? Do you suppose that's a good look?

Guess the AP are all a bunch of Russians out to get poor ol' Biden. Biden circumvented congress and since you support what he circumvented congress to do, you're lying about it.
My imitation of you.
As I've said, Biden can do that. CONGRESS gave him the ability to do it. You can't call it circumnavigation when I tell you beforehand that it's OK to go around me.
So you imitated me in response to another person being upset about genocide.
What possessed you to act like that?
I'll trust the AP over you.
The AP never claimed it was improper. You did.
I did nothing of the sort.
So Biden’s use of emergency arms shipments were proper. Very good.
That's not how I would describe circumventing congress to sell weapons for a genocide.
He didn't circumnavigate. He sent an emergency shipment which Congress allowed him to do.
Hmmm. Who do I consider more credible? Is it some guy on the internet who mocks people for being upset about genocide? Or is it the Associated Press?
The AP never said it was improper.
And neither did I. They did say he bypassed congress though. Which he did.
Perhaps you need to find the difference between bypassing and circumnavigation.
How finely can Rapidcreek split a hair in defense of genocide? I no longer fucking care.
I must confess English is my first language.
