Biden has circumvented his own Congress on numerous occasions throughout the past year to enable the Israeli genocide of Palestinians to the maximum degree possible - to the detriment of American citizens presently going without food, shelter or healthcare. Biden pushed for us to engage in the forever war in Afghanistan and Iraq and helped to ensure we stayed entrenched there for decades. Biden is an absolute war monger who will stop at nothing to further enrich American military contractors and arms dealers - he’s made his whole career about it. This move should not be considered shocking by anyone with half a clue.
