This bill is DOA according to the Senate.
“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has warned that the “stunningly unserious” bill has no chances in the Senate.”
Imagine using that money for something important, like education, feeding and sheltering the homeless, or a whole lot of other GOOD things it could do. Eh, fuck it. We got people to kill.
Because fuck them kids! Wouldn’t want to take the chance that kids won’t starve to death as long as my enemy does, too!
Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., said he was “so thankful there is no humanitarian aid,” which he argued could fall into the hands of Hamas.
You know what is more likely to fall into the hands of Hamas and be exceedingly more useful? Weapons. We should, therefore, stop sending them to Israel.
Taps big brain: kids won’t starve if there’s no kids left.
We’ve heard from our constituents that they don’t want us spending tax payer money to fund genocide…so we’ve decided we’ll fund it via deficit spending after cutting taxes for our donors!
I’m trying to understand, are the house Republicans against aid to Israel or do they just not understand how negotiation works? Their position seems to be “I won’t agree to this thing that I want unless you also agree to this other thing that I want.” Do they not understand that attaching an unrelated toxic thing to something that would otherwise pass puts them in the position of functionally opposing the thing that there is broad agreement on?
Let’s see if Schumer and McConnell can round up 80-85 votes for a Israel/Ukraine/Border funding bill and call Johnson’s pathetic bluff. I’d certainly like to see a Republican vote against border security.
