"Wait, it's all Marxism?" "Always has been."
How IS what Biden is doing wrt Israel different from what the Democrats impeached Trump over wrt Ukraine?

Remember the phone call between then President Donald Trump and new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy? The one that got a “whistleblower” so upset that he ran right to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and helped prep Democrats for an impeachment fight?

Well, that call was legal, and Trump was acquitted, as he should have been. Democrats clutched their pearls over how Trump had used U.S. foreign policy for political purposes. It was an outrage that could be addressed only by impeaching him, even though the transcript showed nothing especially troubling.

Now the shoe is on the other foot. President Joe Biden is stalling a shipment of ammunition to Israel in an attempt to placate the extremists within the base of his own party. Will any Democrat even notice?

Opinion: Democrats impeached Trump for exactly what Biden is now doing to Israel (msn.com)

I'm sure our left rocket scientists will be able to figure it out - so, exactly why isn't this a violation of the Recission Act?
 
Well, for one thing he’s not surreptitiously calling Netanyahu telling him we will send arms only if he announces a sham investigation of Trump.

So there’s that.

"Recission act"? The legislation that was at the core of the impeachment was the Impoundment Control Act. Trump put a hold on a congressional appropriation without notifying congress, as required.

Biden has put a hold on certain weapons that were already purchased by Israel. He has clearly announced the hold, satisfying the requirement that congress be informed.

Um no, he is required to send a special message to Congress identifying the amount of the proposed deferral; the reasons for it; and the period of the proposed deferral. Not just "announce it." Did he?

He is not holding up an appropriation.

You just got finished saying >> "Biden has put a hold on certain weapons that were already purchased by Israel."

Sounds like "holding up an appropriatio" is exactly what he's doing.

The weapons were not funded by an appropriation. The Israelis bought them. Sorry you don't see the difference.

He did not inform Congress at all. They have hung Israel out to dry in order to placate the Nazi wing of their party.

Cuz 2000 lbs bombs were needed for defense? We still shipped Iron Dome missiles. How do you know if congress was informed or not?

Yes. Destroying Hamas is vital for their defense and Congress has already approved the funding. But that is OK, because "Never Again" is now "F-ck'em we need to win Michigan"
Your party is now openly courting the "pro-Holocaust" vote, you must be so proud.

Destroying Hamas can be done without killing infants, children...
