Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

In general?
On Biden being paid over 5 million dollars by pro Israel groups since 1990, and enthusiastically aiding in a genocide.
Let's lay out the facts to debunk your wildly inaccurate and out-of-context accusations.
I disagree personally with centralized money interests in politics, but it is currently legal and ubiquitous in the US.
In your list, Biden is one of about three hundred politicians to receive political donations from "pro-israel" groups.
Israel has been an active military ally of the US for 75 years, receives billions in aid annually from the US, and groups may legally support political candidates that vote to provide that aid.
Biden is one of the longest serving senators and has received political contributions according to years served, like the other 278 senators in the list.
As for your lie that Biden is "enthusiastically aiding in a genocide", it should be obvious by.
1)the most recent abstention of the US vote and veto from the UN regarding the immediate cease-fire,
2)netanyahu being upset with Biden and.
3)the overall perpetual breakdown of us-israel diplomatic relations
that Biden is in no way "enthusiastically aiding in a genocide".
He literally structured the deals in a way to avoid federal oversight. That's enthusiastic support if I've ever seen it. You're not living in reality if you fail to see these facts.
I see you adhere to the less relevant, opinionated and more vague route of debate.
I like it.
Oranges, I mean. I like oranges.
What type? Why am I bringing up oranges? You'll have to guess.
I see that Bidens enthusiastic support of a genocide "doesn't look like anything at all" to you, so I guess there's no more point in continuing the discussion. Hopefully he sees justice before he dies of old age.
As I earlier refuted entirely your Biden claims in the previous comment and now you're making up quotes so that you have a straw man to knock down(congrats), I endorse your frantic scurry away.
