A. The billions in US foreign aid to Israel is contingent on Israel providing the US w/ Israeli intel.

Cool...how do you justify text in FR?
LOL My morning eyes were deceiving me, as I first read the title as: “Trader Joe’s - Just when you thought the Dems couldn’t stoop any lower”. LOL
And I started thinking “has Trader Joes done some woke thing now”.
Democrats will go lower UNTIL THEY HIT THE BOTTOM
Days of sensible democrats is GONE.
“Joe Biden and the Obama Leftovers” - anyone that thinks SloJoe is running the show is mentally deficient. The real power lies with the Kenyan Mulatto and his cadre of communists sometimes referred to as the ‘deep state’.
If there is any justice in our future then sometime starting in Feb 2025 there would be many members of the ‘deep state’ invited to their personal ‘hemp and branch’ parties. There are lots of trees in the WDC area so no waiting needed.
btt
Please do not confuse Traitor Joe’s with Trader Joe's.
