      Everything with government doesn’t have to be slow, but congress wrote this bill so that two successive presidents would have to keep pursuing it.

      It like everything else surrounding our government takes forever.

      Unless of course it’s something he wants to do, like sell weapons for an ongoing genocide. Then all bureaucracy evaporates into nothingness.

      His hands are untied when he wants them to be.

        Look, I get that you’re trying to make a point, but this is like complaining your parents were able to pay the mortgage every week but not buy you a new bike. One is planned, budgeted, agreed upon by all parties. The other is something you want, that takes time and planning which has yet to take place.

          Giving away arms to a genocide isn’t… budgeted.

          What line item(s) can you point to for “Palestinian Genocide Budget”?

          There’s literally a law on the books that says he MUST stop arms transfers to Israel, since the UN has declared an ongoing genocide.

          The other is something you want, that takes time and planning which has yet to take place.

          One is something Biden wanted, and the other is rescheduling cannabis.
