President Biden vowed on Monday to veto a House Republican bill that would provide $17.6 billion in aid to Israel, calling it a “cynical political maneuver” intended to hurt the chances of passage for broader legislation that would provide money for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and the U.S. border.

House Republicans fiercely oppose the larger bill, which was unveiled by a small, bipartisan group of senators over the weekend. It calls for $118.3 billion in spending and would overhaul some of the nation’s immigration laws to deal with recent surges of migrants at the southern border.

    This is the same type of argument I come across when debating against COVID disinformation and climate change: politicians and/or scientists were wrong/exaggerated some things in the past, so that gives me the right to reject the facts now.

    When were really hate a group of people, usually the reason is that we are much more like them than we are willing to admit.

      Ive given the GOP rhetoric plenty of tine to simmer. I was born and raised in it.

      It’s bullshit. It’s a pyramid scheme cult.

      No matter what the words say, the agenda is unchanged.

          You claimed the reason we don’t trust them now is hate, hate that blinds us.

          My point is the reason we don’t trust them is historical evidence.

            No I didn’t. I said that when we hate a group of people it’s usually because we are more like them then we are willing to admit.

        The scale is inconsequential when it comes to ignoring facts because you believe someone lied to you in the past. The fact that this needs to be explained is kind of embarrassing.
