I appreciate your willingness to correct the record.

As for the aid to Israel, I agree that the nature of the assistance and how it's used is a critical issue. I completely agree with your points and now understand your usage of “blank check”.

First of all, there aren’t any blank checks. Foreign aid isn’t a lump sum of money just given to a country. We allocate it to a spending purse and they can choose to spend it on specific items the US agrees upon, which is usually weapons. We don’t just give them cash.

Second, which debt? The US hasn’t issued any debt to Ukraine since the war started, except for possibly private companies.

I agree with your sentiment, just not the facts.

Nowhere in that article does it mention that he wants them banned, but go ahead and tell me I’m wrong somehow because level playing field equals being banned.

It sounds like he didn’t have an answer but thinks there should be some kind of system in include everyone.

Based on the first part of your comment I’m sure your response will be well thought out and free from derogatory terms.

I refuse to go through the body scanners, but the last time I went through the airport there wasn’t anyone trying to opt-out. I seriously doubt if the radiation perv scanner doesn’t get people to do anything, this won’t either.

Folks'll say that it takes two people to fuck an ostrich.

If California were a sovereign nation (2022), it would rank in terms of nominal GDP as the world's fifth largest economy, behind Germany and ahead of India.
