    Selling and giving are absolutely different, regardless of where the money comes from. I see what you mean, in that it is effectively giving, but that’s just now how the law works. It should, I think Biden shouldn’t even be able to override Congress in this regard, but that’s just how it is. Congress can change that at any time.

    The situation in Gaza is gray for many people, it’s not easy to claim it’s objectively defense or offense without proving it in court. I’m not trying to debate the morality of this context, I’m saying that Biden did not circumvent Congress.

    It’s really getting old seeing Biden defenders act like trump supporters

    Bruh come on, you know that’s a bad faith ad hominem. Someone isn’t acting like a trump supporter because they call out a blatantly false argument lmfao. If anything, it’s the other way around, attacking a person by baselessly comparing them to the other political side.

      For it to be an ad hominem it would have to be something irrelevant…

      Excusing Biden for pulling a standard trump method, is a relevant comparison to what trump supports excuse from trump.

      Words have meaning.

      If I pointed it out that it’s also disappointing trump and Biden supporters both don’t seem to understand that definitions matter, it wouldnt be an an ad hominim either. Because it’s now relevant to the topic at hand.

      If you’re upset at the comparison, maybe Biden supporters should stop acting like trump supporters?
