Yep, them and any “protest” group that has dress codes are massive glowies

The people delayed in traffic on the other hand have zero influence. And more than likely are now massive Israel supporters due to being so pissed off by the protesters.

It doesn’t!

TLDR It’s a deductible expense for the business, it’s taken out pre-tax for the worker, and businesses get way better rates than if a individual was to go get a quote for the same plan.

local parents drowned out by AstroTurf-ed organized opposition.

Contracts with the US are filled at the whim of the government. and it’s very possible the new speaker of the house will try to back track. Israel will absolutely detract from the focus in Ukraine.

So now that Israel is at war the world focus will shift to them and away from Ukraine and there will be no complaining about it right?

or you.

no not at all. Not my meat grinder not my problem. I just don’t want to sink funds into it.

It matters as a meat grinder, that’s for sure.

True. I’m not insane thinking that the US will give half their military budget to defend a country that doesn’t matter.

nope. It’s interesting they are worried about how my tax money is spent and not the war, that explains the massive failure their invasion has been i guess.

I didn’t realize Russia was advocating to save me money but thats cool. No it doesn’t concern me at all because claiming “Russian propoganda” doesn’t change anything I’ve said.

Ok, who organized and hosted the most recent peace talks between Ukraine and Russia? what terms were discussed?

Oh it’s completely logical. We’ve done it to Russia basically in every single one of their conflicts since the start of the cold war.

1 is the only reason he lilkely won’t win a nomination vote, the rest are reasons people might actually vote for him. There’s people to keep the rules and procedures straight for you, and the last 3 are great reasons that all but the most basic and necessary bills would be killed, and even some of them would be in jeopardy.

Oh it absolutely changes. US politicians need to determine what’s best for the US. And recently that has been to stop funding aid to Ukraine for atleast the next month, and to now enter into a new house speaker voting battle which could take weeks resolve. And those “calls for peace” have been symbolic “please don’t invade, go home”. There’s been no serious peace negotiations, I don’t even think there’s been much push from anyone for negotiations. If it’s in the US’s best interest to continue to harm Russia, then the trickle of aid will resume, but like I said originally I personally think that mission has been accomplished, and we can be done with it and I’m in the majority.

It’s got a long track record of working great. It doesn’t matter what they say they want or need, what matters is what is best for the US? Even though I disagree with all of the aid we already have sent, have you noticed there is no serious calls for peace from any US leader? This plan is already in action.

Actually, if we want to assume hurting Russia is what’s best for America, then we need to trickle just enough material aid to keep Ukraine’s military from complete collapse and let the whole conflict grind on for a few decades. Just like what we did for Afghanistan in the 1980’s, the last thing we’d want is for Ukraine to win quickly.

I’m tired of my tax dollars going to being world police. My tax dollars should go to my community not be used to fund a war half way around the world. If Ukraine would like to BUY military equipment from us then fantastic. I also hear the Taliban have a shit ton of our military equipment they might be looking to sell. The countries in Europe should have always been the first ones to step in with aid and contribute the largest amounts.

If your claim is true that Ukraine still needs half of our military budget just to survive, then that sounds like a lost cause to me. Because they obviously can’t afford that, and it’s certainly not the US taxpayers job to fund it.

I agree, Europe can’t afford it. The US has contributed way more than necessary all ready, more than all other nations combined. We are literally paying peoples salary in Ukraine now. Enough is enough, Europe can take charge of their own back yard clean up now and will have to for at least the next month because the temporary funding bill that just passed in the US eliminated any further aid.
