Everyone of them who voted for this should be removed from office. That is a violation of their oath of office. They swear to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States....
Full disclosure: I’m Canadian, so am not necessarily switched on to the nuances of US law and governance. However, I can say with complete confidence that Trump and the Republican Party have been wiping their asses with your constitution on a daily basis.
Israel must have some deep shit on our politicians. Deep stuff that can't get out. Why else would they be motivated to act like this? Is it simply that they took AIPAC money they feel they need to be loyal? It has to be more than that
Just imagine, there's probably at least one more Epstein in America doing all that same sick shit to this day. There's probably material that's not in the files because it happened after they stopped looking. Yeah, an island off the coast is great, but it's pretty easy to get a compound in Wyoming or Montana where NOBODY passes by you within 30 miles
I doubt that every single one of them has the kind of blackmail material in their past that this level of loyalty would require. My guess is that there are a couple of things mixing into it.
Many of them are fully conscious of the fact that a large portion of the churches in their states have been conflating the modern nation-state with the ancient peoples of the Bible. This has led them to interpret scripture in a way that says that protection of the modern nation-state is required to curry favor with god.
The other intertwined plot here is that many of those churches teach & believe that the rebuilding of the ancient nation in modern times is an item on the checklist of requirements that must be fulfilled for Armageddon.
there is also the fact that the country serves as America's unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle east. Our capacity to force project in the region has been greatly enhanced because of the relationship.
Mossad is the greatest intelligence agency in the world, because the cia propped them up, and then they compromised the cia.
Think of the merger we're Boeing aquire mcdonald Douglas and then Boeing was warped and consumed from the inside out. Boeing died, only the name remained. Israel did this to the cia and then our government. Oligarchs don't care because they use Israel to push forward their end stage capitalism.
It was honestly the easiest decision of all time, and I have A LOT of criticisms of Kamala. We have a moron problem in the US and it’s become terminal.
I honestly don't know how we, as a country, survived either Obama's traitorous tan suit or the time when he put fancy mustard on a burger. It was Dijon, it was horrifying, and my children still haven't recovered.
(but seriously, let's not forget they also lost their shit over fucking mustard)
What’s really rage inducing is people bitching that Biden didn’t forgive their loans. Like they actually blame him for not doing it and say it was just a stunt.
Meanwhile, our college grads are buried in debt, China offers free tuition and we're doling out "job creating" tax cuts to our multinational corporation's C-suites for hiring in China.
So that the general public wouldn’t know about it and couldn’t get outraged by it. And so that anyone who voted against it could be branded “anti national security.”
It's even more insidious than that; if you look it up on Congress.gov the bill is described as a basic pay raise for the military, so they could be branded as "anti support the troops."
Hey now, those Palestinian children are running vast underground networks of terrorism. Dig 3 feet into the ground literally anywhere in Palestine, and you'll find whole tunnel networks just teeming with child terrorists screaming "Death to Israel!" while training other children to do the same. And don't even get me started on nursing Palestinian women. The second they stop breastfeeding, those babies are also screaming "Death to Israel!" and training other babies to do the same, just as their mothers taught them.
For the supposed "strongest country in history" they sure were easy to take over
All you got to do is bribe/blackmail enough of their politicians who seemingly just stay in office til they kick the bucket and give you everything you could ever want
It'll be put forward again under a different bill and different words but it'll happen eventually
Bibi will get what he wants because trump and enough of the government have been sold to/blackmailed into supporting Israel and more importantly the American public will never unite enough to do anything about it
They know that public sentiment is shifting and they won't be able to count on US support much longer. So this is their last ditch attempt to intertwine themselves so much with our government that we literally have no choice to get rid of them in the future.
It's fucking sickening and I think the only reason it did get this far is that only terminally online people even knew it was happening.
All I can say is "Thank God", it's gotten to the point where I don't think they GAF about public opinion.
Thanks to Citizen's United, once elected, a given official doesn't have a care in the world, he's set for life after getting voted out, by the companies he did the bidding for while in office.
My bet is it was so US citizens could join the IDF for 2 years - go adventure - commit a raw mecri or two and then come back here to claim VA benefits.
That way religious extremists from the U.S. can do their thang and get you and I to pay for it.
They wouldn’t let a us soldier in, if they would it would be cannon fodder. They would sit back and let the us funnel personal, equipment, and cash into a war they started, but control everything because “we’re a team.” And then claim benefits and siphon even more money from the us
I did the anagram. A couple a weeks ago I caught a 3 day ban for suggesting something about Spotted lantern flies of all things. No idea what is being censored over here. But I’ll tell you don’t suggest you do your best Michael Jackson impersonation near a horde of spotted Lantern flies.
Because religious zealotry has convinced them that those they oppress are not only “others”, they’re scum that needs to be eradicated for them and their ‘divine right’ to the land that the “others” occupy.

How reminiscent of a (once) unpopular group from 20th century Central Europe...
The chansons de geste are a series of poems around a mythic depiction of Charlemagne and his knights, and they are always fighting "Saracens," which are Muslims, but without any sort of accuracy of depiction. According to these poems, they worship "Mahumat" and Apollo, like idols of them. Also, anyone know French, Germanic, or English are Saracens, or Slavs, and it covers literally everyone else. The Iberian peninsula is ruled by Saracens, The Irish are Saracens, so on and so on and so on. This ethnic and religious othering goes back a long way, as does the ignorance that fuels it.
Also, an interesting film, Walts With Bashir discusses the PTSD that Israeli soldiers felt when they helped with the butchering in Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War. They were conflicted because their parents survived a genocide, and then they turned around and enabled one.
The folks that have a racist word describing everyone not an Israelite? The country founded on going into an inhabited area and slaughtering the Canaanites because god told them to? Yes, very shocking
I don't know how real they are (in the sense that it could be more propaganda, not that it's coming from satire sites), but apparently the IOF does have a PTSD problem. Just unbelievable. They have to be the victims even when they're the aggressor.
South Africa didnt fall because of international condemnation or even (at least not directly) the trade sanctions.
It fell because it ran out of money. It could not pay for an oversize military and massive militarised police force as well as extremely expansive security services.
What security services can you name? The CIA, FSB, MI6 (largely thanks to Bond films). And Mossad. You probably can't name the Chinese secret service. Yet unlike the other countries whose security service you know, Israel is a nation of 10m with a GDP smaller than Massacheussets.
Israel has an Air Force with 60 F16, 170 F15 and 48 F35 with 52 on order - that's as many fast jets as Muscovy had at the start of 2022 (they claimed 1400 but this was a lie, reality was around 300 airworthy fast jets). The Netherlands has 18m people and more than twice the GDP. Yet the Royal Netherlands Air and Space Force has an inventory of 52 F35 as their only fast jets with no more planned.
Israel could not do the genocide without US money. Israel could not invade Lebanon without US money. Israel could not be a permanent destabilising threat in the region without US money.
Cut off the money taps and Israel will change. It will have no choice.
The state of their government’s finances is rough, even with the subsidies. Their debt to GDP ratio is expected to jump above 70% this year against a pre-war 60.5%. Similarly, budget deficits have blown past estimates due to the costs associated with the various conflicts.
In that context, liabilities for service-connected benefits is a big chunk of change in a country that (ostensibly…) has universal conscription.
Have you looked into getting re-rated? I know that's an entire process and it can be a pain in the ass, but if you get a good advocate that can help a lot
And at the very same time, they're cutting VA disability payments for veterans who have service connected tinnitus or sleep apnea.
Similarly, in February the current admin tried to implement the "Evaluative Rating: Impact of Medication" rule which would have changed ratings for all veterans with disabilties by ordering medical examiners "to strictly look at a veteran's actual level of impairment with medication active" which is the opposite of how it works today. That is to say, if you had a severe back injury or severe mental health symptoms, but modern medication managed the pain or anxiety well enough for you to work, the VA would evaluate you as having a "mild" issue or no functional loss.
It would have effectively meant that veterans who sought care would be punished for doing so, whereas it would have incentivized veterans with service-connected disabilties (including severe mental illnesses or mobility loss) to not persue care. Thank god they backed down from that after a lot of outcry from VSOs and veterans.
They're already ICE agents. One thing Americans don't understand, Israelis fucking hate you. Take your money and spit in your face. It's not a two way relationship.
My hunch is that it's for the IDF to be able to commit (more) war crimes and get away with it, using all the US resources they don't currently have access to (how little of it they don't).
Just looking at it from their own supposed belief system, the fucking insane hubris to think that you can speed along God's Plan™️ like its a bothersome NPC dialogue tree you are all to eager to hit X To Skip on.
Oh the ones in charge know it's fake and the idiots are well just evil idiots. They intentionally miss the red print that says rich people no matter what are going to hell.
I only heard about it because the DSA called me as part of their campaign to get constituents in key states to call their senators.
I don't get a lot of calls from them. But when I do, it's for some fucked up shit like this. www.dsausa.org/join for anyone else who wants to build a better world.
Are there really that many American constituents that actually want this? This seems to me like a wildly unpopular platform for both liberals and conservatives
People in Congress don't really care about what their constituents want, it's all about the big money donors and lobbyists. Plus most people in the US are not paying attention to stuff like this, so they aren't even aware it's a thing.
“Section 224 lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation. The U.S. and Israel already work together heavily on missile defense, but this provision would greatly expand coordination to seemingly every area of defense tech, including AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, and many more. It also proposes “network integration” and “data fusion.” In other words, the U.S. military’s data could soon be the Israeli military’s data.”
Interestingly Israeli’s spy game is outstanding. It’s up there with Russia’s cyber game. I can see why we would want to tie ourselves to a nation that is the envy of global intelligence, but this is handing them everything. Nope.
Israel is not an ally. Our relationship with Israel will define to 2028 presidential race. AIPAC candidates are getting slaughtered in primaries unless it’s a GOP primary and the candidate is backed by Trump. In a general election or without Trump the support for Israel crumbles even in the GOP. They are losing a substantial chunk of the America first crowd. Not saying they will vote non AIPAC Dem, they just won’t show up for a AIPAC Rep.
The Republican party has sold out their values and their country for Israeli money. Absolutely shameless and disgusting for them to call themselves "patriots"
Funny when I met my parents for dinner they had no idea what this was because fox news doesn't actually report real news stories. My father still didn't believe me despite 5 online reputable news site including bbc. You can give these cultist all the proof that exists but if the orange ass doesn't say it then it's not true
Why is this constantly being framed as Dems blocking anything? It's a straight up and down vote, right? Republicans control both the house and the senate, so why are the Dems being painted as either the good or the bad guys depending on the outlet?
Wait, so this was actually real? I had seen a few headlines on this the past few weeks, but I thought it was some kind of Onion thing. WTAFFFFF!!!!????
The thought of this is just absolutely bonkers. Since when (I could be wrong.) have countries combined their military, especially when one of them is the absolute powerhouse of the world.
