The Pentagon has just submitted a budget request to the US Congress, asking for an additional $200 billion to (checks notes) fight the war in Iran that isn't a war and we won two weeks ago anyway.
(The spineless, useless Democrats are almost certain to cave and grant it, BTW)

@cazabon what's with the Dem bashing? Only John Fetterman voted in support of the war among Senate Democrats, along with a few House Dems. To me it's extremely spineless to bash Federal elected Democrats, rather than zero in on the insane racism causing your own relatives, friends & neighbors to vote GOP and back this war.

I'm bashing the Democrats in Congress and the Senate, because they deserve bashing. They have consistently failed to meet the moment in responding to this lawless, autocratic, christofascist administration. Nothing but yelling this at them, loudly and continually, will get through to them.
Remember Chuck "We wrote a strongly worded letter" Schumer?
Remember Hakeem "I'm going to set the length record for filibustering in the House for no actual reason just for the publicity, but I won't filibuster any of the horrific bills the lickspittle, Trump-fellating Republicans keep passing" Jeffries?
The chances of Democrats growing a spine and refusing to fund the war when they fear being accused of "not supporting the troops" are ... not good.
But hey, my views are only informed by decades of observation and commentary about these extremely obvious and widely-known problems with the Democratic party.
"You can't criticize our side!" is 100% high-test bullshit.

"Ties to Republicans"?
I'm not even USAnian, FFS.
MAGA and the current Republican party are more or less pure evil. The current Democratic party is useless, barely functional. If you think pointing that out makes me a Trumper ... wow. You have literally not heard a word I've said.
You expect Schumer to do what exactly? Stab Mitch McConnell with a pencil or something? His power comes from his office and in a majority rule Congress the minority power has limited options.
Maybe the American people shouldn't have put the fascists in power? Maybe the leftists shouldn't have went around telling people both sides are the same.
The Democrats impeached Trump twice, the American people elected him twice, I know who I trust.
