    the president said, “We reject all forms of hate,” against Muslims, Jews and everyone

    Strike that. Reverse it.

    he set the stage for a planned request to Congress for $14 billion in emergency assistance for Israel

    Lolz. Good luck asshat. You don’t even have a functioning lower house.

        I’m sure they’ll shuffle some money around on the back end and Israel will end up with $14B bonus bucks somehow.

        But the money still ultimately needs to come from somewhere. And $14B isn’t small change.

            Currently, there’s a real possibility that a bunch of Republicans walk out on Congress and leave Dems with a functional majority by quorum. In that case, Jefferies gets the Speakership and we can do all the awful shit Dems want to do while still insisting there aren’t enough votes to do the good shit.
