Don’t forget that the Simpsons play a huge part as well. Even citing two episodes in his blog post.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a shitty thing to do. But there are two important facts to keep in mind. First, that this has been something they’ve been working on for months so it’s not like biden and his administration went from telling bibi that he needs to protect civilians and try to come to a deal with hamas and have a ceasefire to selling him these jets in the same talk. Second, these jets have to be built. It’ll take at least 5 years for them to be built and anyone who is aware of how slow our government builds jets knows that that could be extended. If anything this isn’t shitty because it’s giving Israel jets, its shitty because it looks like a fucking bribe from the Israelis to try and make sure the US continues to support them.

Important note for those who dont want to read the actual article: the ban is essentially saying only some flags can be bought with federal funds and then hung up officially, and the pride flag isn’t one of them. It also doesn’t prohibit personal displays, so while they can’t be on flag poles or bought with federal funds, they can still be displayed. Interestingly, the bill also bans the confederate flag. It’s still just bigotry being forced by the GOP but there’s always more context than a headline can provide.
