President Biden vowed on Monday to veto a House Republican bill that would provide $17.6 billion in aid to Israel, calling it a “cynical political maneuver” intended to hurt the chances of passage for broader legislation that would provide money for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and the U.S. border.
House Republicans fiercely oppose the larger bill, which was unveiled by a small, bipartisan group of senators over the weekend. It calls for $118.3 billion in spending and would overhaul some of the nation’s immigration laws to deal with recent surges of migrants at the southern border.
Do it then. I see the lips moving and the empty promises made, so do something about it then old man. Trump was the same way. Just spouting all these great sounding things that the news print and then never doing a god damn thing about any of it. That’s what they do, they say things you want to hear. Then do the opposite
If you think Trump said anything “great” then you’re part of the problem
I hate that the two are becoming more and more conflated. Ukraine is fighting off a invasion; Israel is invading and has driven the people of palestine into radical organization and direct action. These funds should go to aid and peace efforts instead.
The more I think about it, we should just airstrike all the Christian, Muslim, and Jewish holy sites in Israel. There now there’s no reason to fight over your space wizards. Problem solved.
How does that end the occupation of Palestine?
It doesn’t this mfer is still living in 2015
Invasion? That some racist talk right there. Give them a notice to appear in court in the next five years and leave them alone.
This is like the worst version of the trolley problem being worked out in real time.
This is so stupid. NYTimes putting the phrase “to deal with recent surges of migrants at the southern border”…there IS no surge of migrants. They’re pushing bullshit in a passive way to make it sound legitimate.
Yeah, migrants just love to surge come election time.
What a bullshit.
Remember the massive “caravan” of migrants Fox breathlessly talked about as it made its way to the border?
Love how Taiwan is thrown in there for no fucking reason 🙄
