Politically I want Ukraine to have aid but can we at least admit that the president using a weird tradesies loophole to provide aid that Congress has explicitly rejected...kinda sucks?
Sucked when Reagan did it, sucks when Biden does it.
Let's focus on the fact that Biden is exploiting a loophole and going around policies, and not on the fact that those bigotry-motivated policies are very much risking triggering WWIII, on the ground that it is an "eLeCtIoN yEaR". sure.
Because if russia finally wins its invasion of Ukraine, they won't stop there, but we won't let them conquer the rest of Europe peacefully.
Besides, it's a well known fact, the context never matters, that's why we have dumb robots applying the laws to everyone without any context or interpretation rather than a complete, complex judicial system.
That way, if someone tries and commits suicide, lands on your car, killing themselves and making you paraplegic, you get charged with death penalty for killing them, the exact same way the driver of an armored SUV, charging in a crowd, blinded by hate, would get charged with death penalty.

What really sucks is that the Republicans are all towing the Trump line because it's an election year and Trump will make or break their campaign. Trump loves a good dictator and thinks he's buddies with Putin.
Reagan did it through bad regimes - at least Biden is doing through democratic governments. AND they are weapons we'd have to decommission anyway. BIG DIFFERENCE between this and Reagan. Stop being disingenuous.

At least this time it's for a good cause...
But wouldn't this be the second time in six months Biden is doing arms deals without congressional approval?
I just don't see why everyone is excited to see Biden acting like a Republican on this stuff, but when it's time for Biden to help Americans, he still can't do anything without Congress
It's like people honestly believe Dems only have to aim a smidge higher than the current Republican.
There's no standards other than that, and that's a huge danger to America, we can't let whatever idiot Republicans run dictating what kind of president we'll have for half a decade.
