At press time, Biden added that Americans should also avoid dangerous propaganda that wrongly asserts the billions of dollars in military aid the United States has sent to Israel could be spent on things like healthcare, education, or alleviating poverty at home.

Hogwash, who would believe propaganda like that?

I certainly don't! My favorite right-leaning talking heads and Republican congressional representatives have consistently reassured me that we are already spending TOO much on those things already. Also, that this is all because of the Democrats.

Me too! I can't afford my prescriptions this month anyway, so I sent the money to Donald Trump, so that he'll continue to fight the Evil Librals!!!
