    These lawmakers should all be in prison along with these dirty Politicians.. Their time is coming
  • @joeblow229
    While they debate that, Americans are debating whether paying taxes makes any sense any more.
  • @MaybeJohn7
    Can only the lawmakers who aren't dual citizens vote though.. Conflict of interest.
  • @resintestin2281
    maybe fix our own country (USA) before trying to fix others? housing epidemic fentanyl/pill epidemic how many billions..sorry.. trillions in debt are we? why are we always in other people's business like nosy Karen's of the world? we can't even fix the ONE country we are in control of, let alone ANY two others countries.
  • All these politicians who are bending their knees to a foreign country need to be voted out of office. These politicians in both parties can't vote for the regular American people who need financial support like our homeless veterans who fought wars and served our country, but they can give vote to give money to a country doing a genocide making us complicit.
  • These “lawmakers” wouldn’t happen to have a fiduciary responsibility to Israel would they? Because we sure as fuck don’t
  • @user-lc1nm3me3f
    It's long, past time to stop Netanyahu's genocidal insanity !
  • @quesadilla79
    active duty airmen lighting themselves on fire, commissioned officers resigning from active duty and whitehouse personel resigning over the genocide and they're debating it like the collapse of our volunteer forces can sustain further damage.

  • @SparcReviews
    What's the debate? We need to stay the fuck out of it and worry about ourselves.
  • @WuFluChan
