“This is a good first step. This bill is essential for our national security, for the security of our friends in Ukraine, in Israel, for humanitarian aid for innocent civilians in Gaza, and for Taiwan,” Schumer said in the Senate after the vote.

Wait... enhance.

"This bill is essential for our national security, for the security of our friends in Ukraine, in Israel, for humanitarian aid for innocent civilians in Gaza, and for Taiwan"

Enhance

"in Israel, for humanitarian aid for innocent civilians in Gaza"

Dear sweet fucking jesus. It is Israel that is killing innocents in Gaza. What kind of mental gymnastics make this statement coherent? You are funding Israel, Israel is creating the need for humanitarian aid in Gaza. The absolute cognitive dissonance and lies.

So tired of every good thing in this country being bound to horrible things.

Wanna help Ukraine? Fund a genocide and let Texas murder refugees.

"If we seek justice, then the other side will lie, and we are corrupt, so while we don't want to uphold justice, we will try to uphold the lie."

Brother, you caught a real one.

I am very confused.

I try to live my life mathematically. I cite sources that claim firm numbers frequently.

We are in a fucky time.

Everyone has the ability to capture unimpeachable figures, but everyone with a grasp on the raw data has a dude an inch over their shoulder saying "100 bucks if you fudge it."

We got strong in tech and the first thing we did as a digital world was fire the QA people and the auditors.

Seems like a great way to faceplant the gift of computers.

But what can you do?

Ah, so he wants to make sure that everyone gets funding, not just Israel.

How about NO MONEY TO THE MOTHER FUCKING GENOCIDE?

Kinda like when he sanctioned 4 people in Israel and went "there, fine, I sanctioned Israel. Happy?"

Or when he started to actually run the program he failed to run for 3 years and said "there, fine, I am forgiving student loan debt. Happy?"

Or when he passed legislation to make it illegal for railway workers to strike in perpetuity and got them a 1 time pay raise and said "there, fine, I fixed the dangerous and unfair practices of the railway companies. Happy?"

Because that would be actually doing something that isn't killing brown people across the ocean.
