Isn’t it quaint that there are people who think that Congress still has relevance? It’s only an entire branch of the legacy, pre-dictatorship federal government.

Bypassing oversight for arms deals is always where trust starts to erode. Even if the goal is strategic, the process matters just as much.

Wow, nothing more Murica then creating the problem, yourself, before selling the solution as fake safety net, but in true it will most likely cause further damage to both sides in the next decades.

Hope they don’t pay the US upfront for weapons. That money will be in an offshore account before you can say “where are my guns”?

At least there is documentation of an emergency.

Pedophile Trump and the GOP have added over 25% of our 39 trillion debt in Trumps corrupt and criminal presidencies alone.

If democrats don’t go this hard to help people…. F Congress, fund free day care. F Congress, fund tax relief for low and middle class. F Congress, health care for all.

So I guess there’s no real laws for the president? Everything is honor system and if you have no honor… no problem. What an absolute joke of a country America has become. Next step, aligning with your favorite nation, Russia. Hes mimicking Putin in every way possible.

Fun fact, Ronald Regan’s campaign manager asked Iran to let go of the hostages after we was sworn in to make it look like Regan victory. In Return they illegal sold weapons to Iran.

Why does a Republican president have to bypass a GOP-controlled House and Senate for these arms sales? Just asking the questions

Congress is irrelevant. Should be disbanded to save the money. The US should call Trump his royal majesty and call it a day. What a joke.

What gets me, is the supposed dumbest member of the Senate (Tuberville) found a way to single-handedly block military promotions for like 18 months while Biden was President.
We have all these purportedly smart people in the house and senate and none of them can at least find a way to **force a vote** on these arms sales?? If nothing else, make the republicans sign their names to this.

Biden did [the same thing in 2023.](https://www.reuters.com/world/us-oks-potential-sale-tank-cartridges-israel-1065-mln-2023-12-09/) Congress itself created a provision for rapid sales in the case of emergencies. The current war in the Middle East definitely counts as an emergency.
What’s a congress?
