    Some good news - this is so on the nose that even the good liberal subscribers are not biting. Most upvoted comment atm:

    “It’s a good day for world peace,” - how utterly grotesque. I sometimes wonder if Joe Biden genuinely has no idea he’s going to lose in November.

      Holy shit, NYT deleted that top comment to control the narrative. I honestly didn’t think they’d be so bold. It’s gone. The new top comment is:

      Good that we have funding for Ukraine. The funding for Israel should go to relief supplies for the people of Gaza and not the Israeli military.

        They managed to sell the “Russia bad, Ukraine heroes of democracy” line so well, I wonder if they just are at a loss when it comes to the Palestine narrative. Like they expected everyone to fall in line [yet again] and support a genocide.

        Honestly, part of me would have expected the same, though I suppose even libs can only handle so much overt lying.

          Yes they did expected it to happen, every single time before Usians and usian bootlickers worldwide just lined up to follow US propaganda to the letter. Hell it still do work for everything else, but Isn’treal is just too blatantly genociding people to hide it.

            True, they have gotten away with it every time before, including everytime this has been done to Palestine in the past. They probably were pretty confident they would be able to use the same playbook yet again and not get any attention.

    “Mr. Biden’s critics on the left are angry about his willingness to provide more weapons to Israel, though the legislation also includes $1 billion for humanitarian aid that the president said will be rushed to Gaza.”

    In what world can ANYBODY spin this in a way that makes sense. This is the most positive take they could manage and they still are literally saying that the US is supplying aid for victims of the weapons that the US is supplying.

    You know what US let’s call it even. Just stop sending any more weapons to Israel and we won’t expect you to send any aid, let other countries handle that. There, you save billions!

    the legislation also includes $1 billion for humanitarian aid that the president said will be rushed to Gaza.

    How about letting in the dozens of food aid trucks sitting outside Gaza instead of wasting money on these breadcrumbs? Hmm?

      No kidding. Also, spending $1 billion on aid, and $60 billion on weapons to kill the same people, is insane on its face.

    Do you think the libs who scream “literally 1984” at anything even remotely socialist would ever recognise how blatant their own government is with this stuff?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Biden signed a $95.3 billion package of aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan on Wednesday, reaffirming U.S. support for Kyiv in the fight against Russia’s military assault after months of congressional gridlock put the centerpiece of the White House’s foreign policy in jeopardy.

    The Senate voted overwhelmingly to approve the package on Tuesday night, a sign of bipartisan support after increasingly divisive politics raised questions on Capitol Hill and among U.S. allies over whether the United States would continue to back Kyiv.

    Mr. Biden’s critics on the left are angry about his willingness to provide more weapons to Israel, though the legislation also includes $1 billion for humanitarian aid that the president said will be rushed to Gaza.

    “The Russians have slowly but successfully taken more ground from the Ukrainians and pushed them back against their first, second and, in some places, their third line of defense,” John F. Kirby, a spokesman for Mr. Biden’s National Security Council, said on Tuesday on Air Force One.

    The White House strategy in recent months involved impressing upon members of Congress — and the American people — that Ukraine could lose the war without the desperately needed aid.

    Mr. Biden’s chief of staff, Jeffrey D. Zients, held daily strategy sessions with the president’s top aides, including Mr. Sullivan; Steve Ricchetti, a senior counselor; and Shuwanza Goff, the director of legislative affairs.
