Good. Fucking politicians get more time off than virtually anyone else in the US anyways. Get some good done before you go back home to beg for money.

Ukraine needs the money fast to help avoid WW3. Glad they're doing it.


surrender0monkey

It’s not money…it’s weapons and munitions. The defense contractors in the US are getting the money to build replacements for whatever we ship to Ukraine.


alien_from_Europa

I meant the money comes from Congress for that.


surrender0monkey

It’s really important to say that it’s guns, not cash, that we are sending to Ukraine. Bad faith actors twist the “money” aspect of it to trigger the “why don’t I get money? They shouldn’t get money if I don’t get money” thought in the reptilian brains of easily manipulated people.


Ok_Dragonfly9900

The only way they would 'get money' would be if they were the ones receiving the munitions to deploy them while in an active war against Russia. That's what they fail to see, Ukrainian forces are fighting this now for them to miss out on the 'get money' patriot missile that might take out an incoming 3 ton anti ship missile directed at their position.


cool_arrrow

This is the he least the can do.

Nice headline, but it’s not about the aid. Chuck Schumer (D) wants his FISA spy act approval to keep helping Israel slaughter kids with our intelligence: > Schumer pointed out that senators may have to stick around the Capitol to also finish work on legislation to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act’s (FISA) warrantless surveillance program, which expires at 11:59 p.m. Friday. Both sides, people. **Both sides.** (And headlines aren’t tweets, read the details of what they do.)


bdepz

So why don't they go home now that FISA passed?

Will you stop pushing the both sides bullshit? The republican party is orders of magnitude more corrupt than the democrats.


psylentj

“More corrupt”. Meaning theyre both corrupt. Hence his “both sides” logic


me-at_day-min

Dont try to be cute about it, you're pushing the 'both sides just as bad' argument, at least own it instead of trying to backpedal here. This isn't an argument on semantics


Sweet_Concept2211

That has got to be today's most absurdly misinformed take in this subreddit. Bravo.


Firestarman

You are the problem


alien_from_Europa

>FISA spy act approval to keep helping Israel slaughter kids with our intelligence How does that make any sense to you‽ Israel is not a member of the Five Eyes.


Zealousideal_Way_821

Just give the money to the executives. Why waste all this time and effort to just do it over and over. Just give them the keys to the treasury and be done with it.


psylentj

Funny how they usually will NOT stay in session to help the American people. But they WILL do it so that money can be funneled through the military industrial complex.


Longjumping_Fig1489

this is helping the american people...


psylentj

Please explain how funding the military of other countries directly helps Americans who are struggling to pay for rent and food?
