    I know it's a waste of breath reproaching Trump, but it seems really disrespectful to Israel right now and to all the families who have loved ones held as actual hostages in Gaza to trivialize their pain with a false equivalency to the perps at the Jan 6 riot.

    Since when did Trump respect anyone who didn't kiss his butt or do his dirty work for him? He puts insurrectionists or anyone threatening Democrats on a pedestal, and gives them hope that he will tout them as heroes. Not heroes to our country or others, but heroes to himself.

    In his warped and entitled brain he wonders how a man not raised in the hood could be held accountable for crimes. It's just so unfair to him. After all, he never had to be held accountable his whole life, and blamed everyone but himself for his failures. Just today he spoke again about his poor poor victimhood...

    OUR COUNTRY IS UNDER THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF THREAT EVER, AND YET ALL THE DOJ & FBI WANT TO DO IS GO AFTER DONALD TRUMP AND HIS FAMILY. SAD!!!

    The sad part is that there are FBI agents putting their lives on the line every single day to catch domestic terrorists, serial killers, and others who murder innocent people. Trump gives them no respect. None.

    Can't bail the students out with their loans but always have enough money for things they want to do. 15 bil is a lot to send to a country that is fully capable of wiping opposing side by itself.

    Many of Trumps supporters and those who agree with him politically want to see the FBI defunded.

    That doesn’t surprise me considering Trump wanted to ban all Muslims.

    Of course they do. They support whatever Trump wants, and believe whatever BS Trump tells them. Trump doesn't like being indicted for crimes, or to be held accountable for breaking the law. If he had his way, he would do what he wants the rest of his life, and nobody would have the authority or power to arrest him.

    Of course one of the bill’s co-sponsors is no other than Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who supports Trump cult white domestic terrorists and killers.

    Someone must have explained the meaning of the word "insurrection" to mtg, but she is back again.

    The Hypocrisy



    Trump waited until after he left office to disclose trademarks he owns in China and Russia

    Donald owns over 114 trademarks in China, and more than in any other country.

    The list of countries where the former president owns trademarks includes China, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Belarus, Russia, and other countries heavily sanctioned by the United States,

    I agree those in Congress need to do more for Americans even though the money that is ear marked for those countries most if not all is spent here in America.Although the jobs that are being created by these funds are slow in coming the money is being spent here.https://www.axios.com/2023/10/20/biden-budget-request-ukraine-israel-border

    My thinking is that Johnson attached a poison pill IRS provision to Israel aid so that we would be talking about that instead of the fact that he separated Ukraine aid from Israel aid. He aims to 'give in' on the IRS measure to give a clean Israel bid without Ukraine attached.
