This kind of thing, it's kind of why with the whole, "OMG BIDEN PURE GOOD, TRUMP IS EVIL INCARNATE!" or "Trump 2024! Biden is a sniffy old p3do!", well, this would have happened in either case. I'm not so sure Trump or Biden being in power is as big a deal as some people pretend it is.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Love how it says 9 billion for Gaza when it is 9 billion for Israel to continue its genocide and then settle land.

War profiteering is da best profiteering.

Execs at Lockhead Martin and General Dynamics cooming for days


Whatever it takes to keep the GDP figures up for the next quarter.

Also the IMF has declared: USA you can't keep your debt spending like this. The pandemic is long over. It's out of hand and as the world's reserve currency you're screwing up the world outside of the USA.
Deep State: wutever. We'll just blame the extreme rich and tell middle class people to blame the poor.

Why not a trillion?

It's all monopoly money, none if it matters.
Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

We are no longer represented by people that care about America or Americans. It's pretty clear that the swamp runs deep and nothing can be done about the uniparty. Guess we just keep having to vote harder, maybe next time guys.
Freedom of speech is a principle pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved and tyranny is erected on its ruins.

And other GOP colleagues praised Johnson’s bravery, indicating they hope Democrats will show him some goodwill — meaning, help protect his speakership— for ignoring his conservative critics and passing foreign aid.

“I’m so proud of Mike Johnson for being brave and for allowing us to vote on some really important issues today. So I would hope that the Democrats will continue to do the right thing,” said centristRep. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.). “We’ve seen him come a long way.”

“To me, it is a true profile in courage to put the interests of the nation above his own — himself and his career,” said Foreign Affairs ChairMichael McCaul (R-Texas), whose bill was among those that passed Saturday. “It was a gutsy call, but he knew it was the right thing. My stock in him went way up.”

They are a sovereign nation and they can handle their conflicts as they please. However they should do so without US aid, support, or intervention. And without the hundreds of billions they've received from the US over the years, they would have to be far more diplomatic in the region. Every US president plays a role in that, but yes Trump as the self proclaimed "most pro-Israel president ever" plays a large role.

If I had my way though we wouldn't have gotten involved in Libya or Iraq either. All we did was destabilize that region and create a lot of the hate against the US in the middle east that we are seeing now. You could go even further back and argue that arming the Afghan mujahideen was unnecessary, and ultimately harmful given that some of those weapons likely ended up being used by al Qaeda.
Agreed, but arming Ukraine was a red line even Obama wouldn't cross. Trump listened to Bolton and did it. The rest is history.

Giving weapons to nazis was a terrible idea.

LOL @ the 9 billion for Gaza as if that money isn't just being directed towards Israel anyways. The Biden admin want to make it seem like they're helping Gazans to their base

But the rest of that is true. Not sure why either Trump or Bolton thought it was a good idea to give weapons to the people that Russia was already pissed about us assisting in the coup.
Azov, Aidar, Right Sector, C14, Tornado, all were nazis bud. Really? You're not sure? Come on. They wanted this war. They wanted the coup. They view it as an investment to cripple Russia's military. This is what nationalism is. It's disgusting.

Only 112 republicans voted against it.

The rest of our lawmakers voted to sell out our country to foreign governments.



Yet they say Trump is the one who is compromised?

They were. LOL look up the history of Galician Ukraine. The ideological patriarchs of Ukrainian nationalism worked closely with the German Nazis. The episode of the holocaust in Ukraine had some of the nastiest massacres. Some 30,000 jews were butchered by Ukrainian and German fascists in the span of a few days in Babi Yar.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babi_Yar

LMFAO at the wiki page being sanitized to remove most references to the OUN and Ukrainian role. Well played, CIA.

Fortunately, we have footage from survivors who recounted the horrors, including the Ukrainian role.

as long as people are kept subdued with chitty food, sports and movies the calls to action will never happen in numbers that matter.

The closest we've ever gotten were the 99% protests back in 2008, but those were quickly infiltrated by provocateurs, and then the media labeled all protestors as the ones trying to start fights and looting.
