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.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

The Leahy Law prohibits selling weapons for genocide. Keep ignoring this because it's something you don't want to hear and call me a foreign shill some more. Lying in support of genocide is all centrists do.
10 U.S. Code 2249 section b:
I don't have a degree in political science, and I'm not a lawyer but there's the answer to your Leahy Law, but the last three words should sum it up. It also is talking about aid and not an existing contract. The more you know right?
You keep saying I support genocide, this is false and an outright lie. I've said over and over I do not support a genocide, not the one in Israel, China, or Ukraine. You've only mentioned Israel and you blame the US. What I find the most odd is this talk has been going on for a while. "Genocide Joe" that was the talking point, all you saw, everywhere. Genocide Joe. Then, Joe Biden drops out and SILENCE. No more talk of genocide for days. Nothing. Now everyone got their bearings straight and here we are again with all the "people" talking about the US and the dems fault for the genocide.
Why was there a break when Joe Biden dropped out? A real head scratcher isn't it?
"Not enough Palestinians are dead" is not a national security emergency.
People who oppose genocide were hoping Harris was better than Biden on the issue. Did you want everyone to instantly badmouth her without knowing her positions?
Any normal human would have blocked me for calling them out, or realized they keep responding to the same person. I wonder why you haven't figured that out.
Removed, internet slap fighting.
