Look at them all doing somersaults in the comments trying to justify their shitty decisions. Jokers all of them
Most of it. I don’t know how people find the energy to give a shit about grammar in informal settings. If I can understand the meaning it’s good enough for me.
Any opinion I disagree with!
This will be my last response because this is tiresome. I couldn’t find the text for Greene’s amendment so I’ll go with what AOC said. She said she voted against the amendment because it would not have stopped the transfer of munitions and offensive aid to Israel, and because it would cut off iron dome. Her stated reason for not wanting to cut off iron dome is that she believes it would intensify the war and increase civilian casualties. Since I can’t find the text, you’re certainly going to say she’s lying about what the amendment would do. Fine. She’s lying and the amendment would actually cut off all aid to Israel. So then it boils down to iron dome. I’m not changing your mind about this. But from the perspective of a lawmaker, someone dealing literally with life and death, I don’t find her stance to be ethically inconsistent. Taking away iron dome would objectively increase civilian casualties both within Israel and within their enemy countries as Israel would fight even harder and more viciously to attempt to destroy the capacity for future strikes against themselves. You’ve already pulled your “you support genocide” card against me so nothing I say will mean anything to you except “lying evil fascist zionazi” or whatever the fuck. So I’m done with you. Goodbye!
Feels like the average age is 15 whenever the discussion topic is political.
What do you think Israel would do if iron dome was taken away? How do you think that would turn out? It would be like cornering an angry dog. And how does one single vote on an amendment that lost by somewhere around 400 votes make the difference? And, if someone it did make the difference and she had voted yes and added the amendment, why would the Republicans who control the House, Senate, and Executive vote to pass legislation that would compromise Israel? Do you think about any of this with your mind or do you just react on impulse and emotion like an animal?
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it.

What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to
X (formerly Twitter)Yeah sure buddy. Or, maybe her vote against the bill is consistent with her record of speaking and voting against further arming Israel, and not some 4D chess mental gymnastics bullshit.
And what is your evidence of this?
Yeah you were right. I should’ve followed your advice instead of trying to reason with this clown.
