Democrats and the White House have agreed in principle to raise the threshold for asylum claims as part of the bill to fund wars in Israel and Ukraine, but liberals are livid — and Republicans want more.
I mean, for my own personal opinion - I’ve got no problem throwing money at Ukraine because Putin is an asshole and we can afford it, but throwing asylum seekers under the bus to do it is a moral abomination and political malpractice
Except Republican politicians were able to use war as a bargaining chip to get concessions. That shows Democrats are somehow an even more pro war party at the moment. Incredible.
Did y’all expect Democrats to be so gung-ho about war that Republicans are able to force concessions out of them for additional funding?
What the actual fuck.

It’s not just for Ukraine! They’re bending over backwards to fund Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza and adding fuel to the powder keg in Taiwan.
It’s like they’re trying to start WW3
Politicians always love war, they don’t have to fight in it.
