ISRAEL
Aid in the legislation to support Israel and provide humanitarian relief to citizens of Gaza comes to more than $26 billion. The amount of money dedicated to replenishing Israel’s missile defense systems totals about $4 billion in the House and Senate bills. An additional $2.4 billion for current U.S. military operations in the regions is also the same in both bills.

Some conservatives have been critical of the aid for Gaza. At the end of the day, though, Johnson risked losing critical Democratic support for the package if Republicans had excluded it. The humanitarian assistance comes to more than $9 billion for Gaza, where millions of Palestinians face starvation, lack of clean water and disease outbreaks.

All Trump wanted was a pesky $5B to build a wall.

So "critical support" from the opposition party is more important to him than what his own party wants? Got it.

Kevin McCarthy has to be laughing his arse off right about now. All that drama for.... this.

Humor on a Saturday morning. I like it.

The USA will pay for all, or almost all, of the cost of the war in Gaza.

Why oh these cocksucking twits feel the need to constantly give our money away? As if it’s not bad enough that they do but also giving to people that hate America

We love funding wars around the globe.

- Ukraine: hell yes
- Israel/Palestine: pick up the tab for both sides
- Iran: of course! Go blow shite up, baws.

We will deplete our funds to pay around the globe but won’t protect our own southern border or provide for our veterans.

Johnson, along with the rest of D.C., can go frick themselves.

Don't worry. They'll still get theirs too.

Funny how the US government seems to care about everyone except its own fricking citizens

I know, I was being sarcastic.


No illegals will go without. Sleep well on that knowledge.

Don't quit if your first attempt is unsuccessful.

You'll be a loser.
