Congresscritters on both sides have made it clear that they see their whole job as supporting Israel. So of course they wouldnt block any Iran war funding. Israel has been wanting America to do this war for decades.

Him and Schumer must have dinner with McConnell every night because holy shit these two fucks are doing everything they can to screw over Democrats the same way McConnell has for over a decade.
How did Jeffries go from being a rising star for the Democratic party to best buds with Schumer, McConnell and Fetterman?
I don't really remember him ever being a rising star. He was in tight with Pelosi and able to pull a bunch of big money, but he was never the go to guy to present the Democratic case on an issue. No one ever talked about how that guy could be president some day.
This. He was groomed to be a party insider by the most insider of party insiders.
i'm convinced many democrats are just republican plants who ran as democrats to sabotage democrats and enable republicans.
They're called DINOs
Well now that's a thought that's going to fester. 🤔🙁
Yep.
Democrat party is like 18 parties in a trench coat.
but anytime you see someone running as a democrat, and as soon as they win, they allign 100% with republican votes and desires, its hard not to believe that they are some paid shill whose goal was to infiltrate and take democrat votes away in favor of republicans.
Yeah Kyrsten Sinema comes straight to mind. That woman was an absolute plant by the Republican party.
It doesn't matter who they have dinner with when they answer to their handlers at AIPAC. Israel wants this war so they will make a few noises to pretend to be opposition but do everything tangible to support it.
That’s what shits me about Jeffries and Schumer, the others are compromised, these blokes are in it for the money.
Neoliberals and old school Republicans have always been friendly because they've always had the same goals...
Like, you're right, but after we had to spend 4 years watching Biden do the same things and explicitly say he wished we could just go back to it any chance he got, it's kind of like saying the sky is blue
Even the DNC realized it a year ago. And they don't exactly keep their finger on the pulse.
Jefferies and Schumer are lame ducks and have been since this congress started.
We'll capture majorities in the midterms and the next congress Dems will be free to vote for the leadership they want, which should match what dem voters want.
At least closer than Biden/Schumer/Jeffries was
How about we commit to blocking Hakim Jeffries? Primary that fucking bitch. LFG.
For the record THE ENTIRE HOUSE IS UP for reelection.
Fucking get rid of these spineless cretins
Why do democrats just suck so much? None of them have any balls and it is impossible not to see them as also bought and paid for.
Same donors on both sides, it's not complicated.
The same reason they have the government they do.
People refuse to participate meaningfully in elections. In this case, primaries.
What exists, reflects the participation exactly. Republicans have the strength they do, because their people vote and they do what they say they’re going to do, even if it’s bad. The rest of the country, the same thing. The Democrats are spineless and their people along with the neutrals who are selfish anyway, won’t participate.
We need to use the primaries to flush all incumbents, dem and GOP alike. And we need to get a LOT more active in local and state politics.
So much of this mess exists because people ran for state and federal house and other positions without opposition. The states prop up the federal government and empower it, and not enough people understand this and still think of the USA as "one big country" and not a federal union of 50 individual countries.
Because there isn't a justification, Hakeem, you dimwitted fucking moron.
Democrats like this guy are literally less than useless. With friends like these who needs enemies.
You need controlled opposition so the oligarchy isn’t obvious.
What a fucking disappointment and tool. No doubt his tool district voted to re-elect him.
So AIPAC gave him his marching orders?
Shouldn’t this be 1’s?
Different systems have different methods of doing surprise, but the implication here is you roll to see if you are surprised, and success means you are not surprised.
Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to risking his AIPAC money.
What about Epstein?
Don’t call them spineless — this is what they’re for.
it takes balls to sell out your entire party and embarass everyone you've ever known or will know.
What a great leader. We all know the best leaders aren't able to commit to things.

Of course he won't be cause besides some procedural issues and some disagreements about goals and framing this war is decades in the making and bipartisan.
When we talk about parasites of society, that leeches on the money of the state while offering nothing of value, this is it.
Is this what the people of Brooklyn want?
It just occurred to me that I have not heard any news from the Senate parliamentarian in the past year.
Why would he stop it. Dems and gop have been hoping for this for decades and this makes the GOP the bad guys
Of course he won’t because his Israel checks won’t come in the mail anymore.
Useless.
I won't commit to not spitting in this ghoul's face, should the opportunity arise.
