Recall that Trump was impeached for withholding aid that Congress had appropriated to the Ukraine in exchange for political favors.

Biden is now withholding aid that Congress appropriated to Israel. He's doing this to appease a few thousand voters in Michigan. At least Trump was allegedly trying to get something in return.

Don't expect to see any consistency here.

It should be noted that Biden is getting what he thinks is a two-fer here.

The arms they're withholding from the Israelis are precision munitions. That means that the IDF has to dumb bombs to hit targets.

So Hamas and Biden get to claim the Israelis are indiscriminately dropping unguided weapons on the Gazans, thus helping front the narrative.

Dope: "He's doing this to appease a few thousand voters in Michigan."

That's what's called an opinion; an extremist's partisan opinion not substantiated by facts.

At least Trump was allegedly trying to get something in return.

Yes. That "something" was nonexistent dirt on his opponent to benefit Trump's reelection. It's part of Trump's fraud M.O.; extortion.

Don't expect to see any consistency here.

Thank you for confirming Biden is not an extortionist like Trump.

Remind me again just what was the blackmail Trump was trying on the Ukraine? A false announcement? That's really something.
