They need a larger majority of 60/100 in the Senate to my understanding, and while they have a majority they don’t have the 60 necessary to pass the spending bill. They need at least some Democrats to cross the floor and I don’t think any are willing.
Yeah, I did note that in the article when I read it. My comment wasn’t directed at the protest organisers - it was specifically towards the Nazis in the crowd. I thought my comment indicated that; sorry if I wasn’t clear enough.
This is just disgusting behaviour. No one should ever be calling for genocide, regardless of any circumstances. Also, why are all Jewish people being conflated with the Israeli government? Jews outside Israel have no power over its government, and even Israelis had to go through some five hung elections to get Netanyahu back in power, indicating that he clearly has less than 50% of the country’s support.
Now if they had been shouting “fuck Bibi” or “end the occupation” or “no more genocide against Palestine” I’d be right there with them. These idiots have no fucking clue how to garner support, so all they’re doing is giving Israel more moral high-ground. Goddamn Nazis need to learn some physical consequences.
I’ve been saying for a while that the USA needs to disband and form (at least) three new Unions - a West Coast Union; a Northeast Union; and a Midwest/South Union(s). Take away all of the safety nets that red states get from the federal government supplemented by blue states and they’ll descend into utter chaos in a matter of months. That’s the only way that red state constituents will have a chance of realising how much they benefit from the federal government they so often rail against.
You want states’ rights? Secede and see how long you last.
