• House Speaker Johnson

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/200 to All on Wed Nov 1 08:43:08 2023
    I'm slightly satisfied with the GOP's bill to render $14 billion dollars in aid to Israel, provided that the money isn't borrowed, and that the money comes out of the Inflation Reduction Act's allocated cash.

    It sends a message, and I like that message. but even if it got signed by the president, which it won't, it would still mean that the USA is paying for the
    mistakes of other countries, and that's why it's still not a great solution.

    If the president vetoes it, which I'm sure he will, then their next proposal should include: Israel becomes the 51st state, or at least Israel becomes a US territory.

    Want our money? We want your country. Hand it over and you've got a deal.

    Hello Aaron,

    If the president vetoes it, which I'm sure he will, then their next proposal
    should include: Israel becomes the 51st state, or at least Israel becomes a
    US territory.

    Would that include Gaza and the West Bank? Clearly, we can't leave
    them behind. That is why we need a two state solution. One for Arabs,
    and one for Jews. With Christians in the middle. That way, we can
    keep them separated so all can live in peace.

    Want our money? We want your country. Hand it over and you've got a deal.

    AIPAC wants the best of both worlds. So hand it over, and let them
    keep the land. We get to keep the Arabs.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Of course it would include the Gaza Strip & the west bank. Biden wants to give them both piles of cash so that they can fight to the death for our entertainment. (Just like those "bum fights" we cused to hear about.)

    Which is why I don't want it. Too many of our tax dollars are leaving the country to cover up the mistakes of others.

    If the president vetoes it, which I'm sure he will,

    Well, ya. Ukraine has been a wonderful money-laundering system for the Biden Crime Family. They don't want that cash going to someone who won't play that game.

    then their next
    proposal should include: Israel becomes the 51st state, or at least
    Israel becomes a US territory.

    That's a pretty bad deal. Why would we want Isreal? That would involve us with every tin-pot dictator in the Middle East.

    Nor am I. Others are pushing a "4-way" bill that would fund Israel,
    Ukraine, Taiwan, and the border. I would prefer a single bill for the last
    of those 4.

    Which is why I don't want it. Too many of our tax dollars are leaving the country to cover up the mistakes of others.

    This.

    If the president vetoes it, which I'm sure he will,

    Well, ya. Ukraine has been a wonderful money-laundering system for the Biden Crime Family. They don't want that cash going to someone who won't play that game.

    And this. Biden won't sign anything that doesn't also send money to
    Ukraine.

    That's a pretty bad deal. Why would we want Isreal? That would involve us with every tin-pot dictator in the Middle East.

    Agreed. We need to become less involved in that area, not more.

    You're right. It's not doing any good. It's still another 14 billion dollars borrowed. Israelis will still be sitting ducks after all the money is gone.

    That's a pretty bad deal. Why would we want Isreal? That would involve us with every tin-pot dictator in the Middle East.

    I know, but if we're going to pay these expenses then we should get something in return, and we should be running the show.

    The world should just step back and let Hamas and Isreal duke it out and let the winner take all.

    You're right, but the media insists that we be conscientious of Israel's woes, and there's nothing we can do to thwart that effort. Therefore, we'd better ask the voters "Wanna pay for other people's mistakes or do you wanna call the shots instead?"

    What we should be doing it sending a clear message to our so-called "representatives" telling them that we want "none of the above".

    We shouldn't be paying for other country's mistakes, and we shouldn't be calling the shots for other countries.

    I know that sometimes reps seem "cool" and they sometimes reply with messages that sound like they "know what it's like," but you and I both know that none of them really care what their constituents have to say.

    Instead of writing to them about our problems, we should write to whomever is above them (the president or the supreme court probably) and complain about the reps not listening to us.

    Oh, ya. I know that. But they do care about getting re-elected.

    That's part of the problem today.

    There are obviously people "above" the ones in gov't who are telling them what to do. But they are very careful about staying out of the light.

    A number of years ago, if you mentioned "Soros", even on Fox News, you got shut down. Today, it's OK. Why? Because old Soros isn't running things anymore. But you rarely ever hear anything about his son.

    People like Rona McDaniel come to mind. What a big help she is. She has no ambition whatsoever, unless her ambition is to help Democrats destroy America.

    But that's exactly who she is. She's an Elitist plant to purposely hold the Republican party down and make it simply "controlled opposition".
