D'Rats trying not to look anti-Semitic, too late you bums the squad and the rest of you not voting for this bill already has you looking like Israel hating boneheads. Also, why should Israeli aid be tied to Ukarainian aid? I know the answer but the D'Rats think you're too stupid to know why.

Sounds pretty smart politically. And morally correct. And economically correct.
Maybe this is how the House could be run.

It will be interesting to see what Chuckles Schumer does with this. Hopefully it passes and gets to Brandon. If he does veto then Jews will know where they stand in the Democrat party.

House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar tore into the bill. 'They're seeking to condition life saving aid to Israel, for the sole purpose of making it easier for billionaires to cheat on their taxes.'
Litmus question: Would McCarhty have done this? I also like the part about the upcoming Ukraine funding bill to be be paired with border security.

Israel doesn't NEED our money in order to decimate these animals. What they DO NEED is for the idiots in DC to get out of the way so they can do what should have been done decades ago.

2024 Democrat Platform Taking Shape
1. If it's a baby, abort it.
2. If it's a kid, trans it.
3. If it's a Jew, hate it.
4. If it's a criminal, release it.
5. If it's an illegal alien, welcome it, (but not in a Dem city.)
6. If it's a tax dollar, waste it.
7. If it's a statement by Palestinian Health officials, believe it.

It’s still $14 of our money they’re throwing away.
How many lives can they save if we send NO money?

The reason they want to bundle Ukraine and Israel military aid is that they can vote for it and tell the voters who complain about one that they had to vote for it to help the other. There is much more accountability with separate votes.

Why would we send $14 billion to Israel? Is it for lack of money that they let their defenses down? Replenish their US munitions, and butt out. We have our own problems.

Greene always finds a way to vote contrary to the conservative crowd, while talking a good game.
I am starting to think her goal is to be in the news at all times.
I have a RINO, Garrett Graves, that I will be voting against. Seriously, I would vote for a democrat to get him out! Entrenched RINOs are dangerous.

So billionaires can't cheat on their taxes if the billions go to the Ukraine, but they can cheat on their taxes if it goes to Israel? Or is it just that aid to Israel doesn't generate kickbacks and the famous 10% that the corrupt Zelenzky government is known for?

THIS is the kind of thing that should have happened when those republicans who had agreed to UNPAIR funds from CRs and Omnibus bills but didn't under McCarty--
No more 'kitchen sink" lumping in of pork so that bills would have to pass since they were attached to important budget items.... no more required printing or money to "pay" for spending money we DO NOT have.
Spending on Ukraine is like spending for Vietnam-- to fight a proxy war and there are too man dead, with only the people who make defense industry item getting rich as we replenish (are we really doint that, or is that money being paid to palm certain interests?) what was used by Ukraine.....
They are using armament as such a rate that OUR military stockpiles are being depleted fast than they can be replesished-- sort of like the Vegetable emptying the Strategic Oil Reserver for political reasons, some of which was sold to CHYNA!!!
The onus is on the RINOs in the Senate and the Vegetable to be put on notice to DO SOMETHING now

Sorry for the 2nd post, but I wish the money had come from the FBI or the Capitol Police, two totally useless organizations!

It's all a game to the democrats...they are hoping by supporting Hamas they will get the young college kids vote for them ...it's all a game to them while Israel tries to rid the area of baby beheading and tortured Israelis ...it's all so clear what the rats are doing....and holding up support for Israel won't impress WE the people who support Israel.....Go Israel....get those baby killers...put them up against the wall and finish them.....trap them in their tunnels.....

If Bribeme vetoes this bill we might miss the smell of holocaust in the morning. Separate billing for Ukraine is the beginning of the realization that the war against Russia is too expensive for US. Let the corrupt ones go the way of Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. Mike Johnson was brilliant linking Zelenskyy graft to IRS Democrat despotism. With President Donald J Trump we can have Peace and Prosperity again.

@#3 - If it gets through the Senate, it will be because Mitch McConnell helped Schumer get it through.
