    It’s also giving 1.8 billion dollars in weapons to Israel. Fuck every single dem who voted for genocide, and the few republicans who didn’t vote for it because it was insufficiently genocidal.

      This was included in a funding bill. If that wouldn’t pass the government would shut down. You can blame Republicans for those extra things added.

        I’ve been hearing this excuse for like a decade now.

        Shutting down the government to refuse weapon sales to Israel would be a good thing, goddammit. I’d feel that maybe there’s a shred of humanity left in those ghouls if they had.

        People are missing the forest for the trees but you are right.

        If Republicans force this through on every bill then at some point it would have to pass. You can’t just shut down the US government indefinitely in the real world.
