So frustrating! Tying controversial items together is just dumb. Have three separate bills- Taiwan, Uk & Israel but dutch777 Mar 2024 #1

If these issues could be separated, it would be ideal. -misanthroptimist Mar 2024 #2

Apply pressure. LOTS of it. Happy Hoosier Mar 2024 #3

The tying of Israel aid to Ukraine aid? Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2024 #5

I'd prefer they were separate issues.... Happy Hoosier Mar 2024 #8

Even the Freedom Caucus/Ted Cruz crowd wants aid for Israel, so it WILL pass eventually Alhena Mar 2024 #10

So these representative that everyone is mad at Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2024 #11

Yes, it is. Happy Hoosier Mar 2024 #14

How about the people that wrote the bill put on their big boy undies Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2024 #15

Do you actually know how politics works? Happy Hoosier Mar 2024 #17

So Republican votes at the expense of progressive votes. I get it. Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2024 #18

Because that is how majorities work! Happy Hoosier Mar 2024 #21

But apparently it isn't working this time. Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2024 #23

I've pretty much stayed out of this but why the fuck are we throwing tens of billions at Israel? Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2024 #20

Enough so that you are willing to throw Ukraine to Putin? Happy Hoosier Mar 2024 #22

I believe I have said that the Ukraine aid should be separated out. Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2024 #29

I think the 30-1 kill ratio is sufficient revenge, Voltaire2 Mar 2024 #30

I don't think it's about revenge. Happy Hoosier Mar 2024 #31

Of course it is. That is just hard to accept and also support. Voltaire2 Mar 2024 #32

I think it's a "rip off the band-aid" moment. Happy Hoosier Mar 2024 #33

So wait...progressives are holding Ukraine spending hostage... CincyDem Mar 2024 #4

So wait...non-progressives are trying to get support for Israel by tying it to Ukraine aid? Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2024 #6

How about Taiwan. You good with them or you just want to carve out Israel. CincyDem Mar 2024 #7

Those that don't want to vote for this have made it clear the Israel aid is the issue. Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2024 #13

One more time, slowly.... Happy Hoosier Mar 2024 #16

Got it. Just Israel. Everyone else...all good. CincyDem Mar 2024 #24

I get that there are people that want the aid to Israel. Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2024 #26
