Intercept doing their thing.

Title: BIDEN BIG MEANY: HATES PALESTINE

Article: “Grantees under the program have to have their funds obligated by December 6 in order to get the funds disbursed before the start of the Trump administration.”

. . . “This is about the GOP’s obsession with shutting down the EPA,” Chavez said. “The attacks that we’re seeing on us are collateral damage in a war against regulations that protect everybody.” 

. . . Republican lawmakers and right-wing media have targeted the Climate Justice Alliance in recent attacks. On Saturday, the Daily Caller published a story on the pending EPA grant that claimed that the Climate Justice Alliance shared protest material celebrating Hamas. 

. . . The Daily Caller also said the Biden administration was weighing “awarding taxpayer dollars to [a] nonprofit that wants to defund the police.” Earlier this month, Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee issued a report criticizing the EPA program and claiming that the Climate Justice Alliance had exhibited “anti-Republican sentiment.” 

So, to recap: Biden awarded the funds, the EPA is slow to disburse because the republiQans are going to gut it, and therefore Democrats bad.

WTF, that's blatantly a false headline. I didn't know so many news agencies loved republicans so much.

Ah yeah, his hands were just tied all this time. He was really mad at Netanyahu and he was just bear hugging Israel to keep them close.

Exactly. Turns out he wasn't playing 4D chess. He was throwing an election away from religious and financial gain.
