I’m sad I’m still sometimes surprised at the depravity and shittyness of the US government and their violent, corrupt, evil handlers. They are the most evil people on earth running the most evil empire the world has ever seen. May they all burn in hell.
I wonder how much he’s getting paid to for this or if this is all a favor for the previous “campaign contributions”?
Does this belong in this community? Honestly curious. Fits the format, but not the theme.
The House of Representatives is basically the Board of Directors for the American Military Industrial Complex
That implies they hold influence and aren’t just purchased pawns
The Dems should be blocking all votes like the GOP did under Obama. Fuck them.

The US is going all Russia on them, airspace violations, stealing ships and stuff
Yes, the USA has been bombing civilian ships off the coast of Venezuela and just the other day captured an oil tanker ship. It’s actually among the reasons stated for Pete Hegseth’s upcoming Impeachment vote.
Unfortunately that’s not their job. They are bribed to ensure NDAA always goes through. Voter sentiment on yet another war for oil be damned.
Until we stop the legalized bribery this will not change.
Evidently voter sentiment isn’t strong enough to vote for someone else!
Ah yes, the candidate fron tge other party who voted yes.
ABWD at work
Squares and Rectangles…
Every Republican is a corrupt politician, but not ever corrupt politician is a Republican.
The logical solution is getting rid of corrupt politicians regardless of party.

If you are living in the US, you exist under that system.
So maybe do whatever your plan is (anarchism, accelerationism, socialism) WHILE using the pre-existing system?
If one’s plan is accelerationism, then maybe it’s best to not do that plan.

Damn, you sure made a lot of assumptions off of someone asking US citizens to make use of their privilege to vote.
You know there are multiple ways to affect change and you don’t have to choose just one, right?
Guess US needs more oil huh
“Nah, I heard oil… THAT SHIT MINE!”
I mean that’s unfortunately just the normal military budget lol. There’s no extra money in there for a war. That’s the peace time budget.
“Peace”
peace(and a couple forever wars, covert ops, and constant posturing)
This is far from an appearance issue. 18 Republicans also opposed the budget. If every Democrat had joined the 18 Republicans in saying no, this budget would not have been approved. Every politician – Democrat or not – who approved this budget needs to be voted out, no questions (if we get the chance). Primary the Democrats who voted “Yea”.
“There’s always money for bombs” but $900 Billion is absurd; and Democrats are screwing everyone over by encouraging this war. We do not want MAGA to have Wartime Powers. We do not want JD Vance, Stephen Miller, and Mike Johnson to have Wartime Powers.
Thank you for linking this, as this is indeed enraging but my oh my this is data gore if I have ever seen it
Am I looking at a spreadsheet with the front panel unscrewed leaving all the wires hanging out or something?
Wow, that is one of the worst diagrams I’ve seen in quite a while.
Is this Minesweeper?
I move my mechanized infantry from hex 3042 to hex 4035 for 6VP
Good Lord, what a day to have eyes.
18 Republicans also opposed the budget. If every Democrat had joined the 18 Republicans in saying no, this budget would not have been approved
This is usually by design to protect risky seats and give the impression that they were opposed for political points. In essence those 18 Republicans are only enabled to vote no because they know Dems are supporting this passing. If more Dems voted no, less Republicans would have.
Bluth: there’s always money to bomb Afghanistan, Michael
No, we’re not allowed to criticize Democrats on Lemmy. It automatically makes you Russian MAGA.
Such a wicked nation
I’ve lost all hope in this shithole country.
time to organize
stay out of spite, and start organizing
have you been studying in socialist theory? if so, then is it okay i can have some tips on making studying socialist theory easy and fun?
Needs link to source.
Isn’t this the spending authorization bill they pass every year since 1961? It’s not specifically about Venezuela.
Notably among Democrats, it’s mostly the New Democrat Coalition (older, moderate, Clinton era 3rd way) voting for this & the Congressional Progressive Caucus (newer, liberal, progressive) voting against it. They’re a big tent party.
Caucuses New Democrat Coalition Congressional Progressive Caucus Yea 62 22 Nay 18 59 I want to know why those 18 Republicans voted against it
Just grabbing the first nay on the list which is Eli Crane. He appears to be a nationalist, which would make sense why he voted no. Still an undeserving piece of shit and a waste of limited resources.
They didn’t receive sufficient contributions from the military industrial complex?
Maybe they wanted a version of the bill with more money and weapons to Israel?
Dems gonna dem
Well there was funding for Israel in it you see, so they had to.
