Republicans Turn on Mike Johnson Over Israel Aid Package
NewsWeak ^ | November 1, 2023 | Staff

Posted on 11/01/2023 6:34:18 AM PDT by ConservativeInPA

A number of Republicans have signaled their disagreement with Mike Johnson's plan to decouple Israel and Ukraine military aid amidst their respective wars with Hamas and Russia.

Under the new speaker, the House of Representatives seeks to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel. President Joe Biden had initially requested the House pass a $10 billion package that would have included aid for Israel, Ukraine and border security.

Johnson has in the past voted against aid for Ukraine and has said he wanted aid to Israel and Ukraine to be handled separately with more accountability for money sent to the Kyiv government.

Graham, Romney, McConnell, Tillis, Susan Collins

The typical RINOs Senator.

All these War Pigs must be getting kick backs from this Ukraine funding. Either that or they pictures of these dirt bags with little boys and girls. Probably both.

If the funding is considered that important for Israel and Ukraine, then you vote twice. Its not that hard.

Unless, of course, you want to hide your vote from your constituents, among whom polls are saying continued funding for one of the two is not popular.

I think you just exposed yourself as both a Ukraine loving moron and a faggot. Get lost.

Notice how the Zeepers are all butthurt and agree with the worst of the worst neocon RINOs and RATs that want you, the US taxpayer, to pay perpetually for their grift, destruction, and bankruptcy of the US to continue.

Their little green clad cokehead midget hero Zelensky is having fits. His wife needs a Paris shopping fix quick.

There's no reason Ukraine funding has to be included with Israel funding. If it won't pass separately there's a reason for it. No new Omnibills.

This whole business is extremely dangerous. So now we are fighting a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine and another proxy war with Iran in Israel, and where does China fit in?

Remember when the anti-Trump extremists whipped half of America into hysterics shouting that Trump would get us into a war?

UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THERE WAS NO WAR.

No one cares what the US Senate thinks about a US House bill

We already give Israel $3.8 Billion per year in military aid. How much more do they need to fight an urban guerrilla war against Hamas?

I’m fine with having individual bills. All bills should be stand alone.

I’m also for zero foreign aid. We are 34 trillion in debt and growing.

Fix our border and deport criminals.

To hell with Zeepers. They still can’t name a single American interest in Ukraine. They use the same tired and worn out lies that have been used to get us in wars since Korea. They hate peace. They hate America and they want my grandchildren to be debt slaves. Zeepers and everyone like them are our greatest enemy.

There should be a limit to how much “stuff” you can put into a bill anyways. Years ago I remember a senator saying that he wanted to limit each bill to a certain number of pages
I don’t know if that would work but we need to limit the amount of pages / money each bill can have

A number of republicans join with Biden’s desires.

Doesn’t sound very “Republican” of them…

I guess nonsensical name calling is the new conservative foreign policy for some?

Absolutely. I will always associate those who govern for themselves, i.e. wanting big ominibus bills they can destroy america with but yet enrich their own campaigns and fortunes, with effeminacy and degeneracy.

I’m with you on that. Why do we need to make our children debt slaves when Israel can do that to their own? I am completely pro Israel, but I’m not stupid. Israel is an advanced and capable nation. They are able to fight and pay their own way. It is actually in Israel’s best interest to not get aid from us because it will come with strings from Joe Biden that will stop Israel from finishing Hamas once and for all.
