“There’s no incentive to investigate if the president and the White House themselves have announced that aid is unconditional,” said Brian Finucane, who worked for a decade in the Office of the Legal Adviser at the State Department advising on arms transfers and the laws of war.

“That means they don’t want to hear inconvenient legal conclusions,” he told The Independent.

Mr Finucane said senior administration officials he had spoken to had been met with a “shrug” by the US intelligence community when they quizzed them about mass civilian casualty incidents caused by Israeli bombing, “because it’s no one’s job in the US intelligence community, apparently, to actually investigate these things.”

      They’re the only people in existence that have any chance of being elected in the coming presidential election, and anyone claiming otherwise is trying to dissuade people from voting for a specific candidate, indirectly helping the competing candidate win the presidency.

      So might I ask, why do you want Trump to be president?

        I want Joe Biden not to become president while he is supporting Genocide.

        I do not want Donald Trump to be president.

        So go vote for third party which is neither of them.

          I’ll also thank you for helping to take away my partners rights (bodily autonomy) by allowing Trump to win. Go be acedemic all you want but we’re going to actually lose a lot if trump wins.
