No surprise: US Senator John Fetterman (D-Israel) voted against the resolution to curtail US military operations against Iran, allowing the quagmire to proceed, pleasing ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu no end.

Meanwhile, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated that Israel is going to save her personnel, resources, and money and stay out of the war, content to let Americans do the fighting and dying on Israel's behalf while the US goes bankrupt. He called it a "a blessing for Israelis," who enjoy world class universal healthcare while Americans are stuck with the BBB and austerity measures.

Democrats can't pass any laws.

Republicans control both houses.

Republicans are still too scared of crossing Trump.

If FDR had Democrats like these to work with, all of Europe would be speaking German today, every Jew would have been liquidated Gaza-style, and in the US we'd be living in Hoovervilles without social security.

And Democrat's leadership are afraid of crossing AIPAC.

-Republicans are still too scared of crossing Trump.

Which is why I laugh at polling showing the enormous disapprovals of Trump.

It's meaningless and has no impact. Trump still carries a big stick, which I wish someone would grab from him and beat him senseless with....

100%

@#6 .. It's meaningless and has no impact. Trump still carries a big stick ...

Oh, I agree that the polls showing Pres Trump's historic disapproval ratings may have little current impact.

Emphasis on "current."

They are not going to affect Pres Trump's big stick.

But the purpose of the polls is more forward-looking than the here and now of "current.".

The polls show that voters may want a change ...

Here's one ...

Fox News Poll: Voters want major change amid economic and political discontent
www.foxnews.com

... Several findings in the latest Fox News Poll show voters are unhappy and want major change, which bodes well for Democrats in November: President Donald Trump's job approval remains near a record low, more Democrats are motivated to vote, Republicans join Democrats and independents in rating the economy negatively, and 4 in 10 voters want "dramatic" or "revolutionary" change. Plus, more view the GOP as tied to elites than the Democratic Party.

Voters say Democrats can better handle income inequality (+22 points), healthcare (+21), inflation (+10), the economy (+9), and foreign policy (+7). Republicans hold the advantage on crime (+7 points), while government spending (Democrats +3) and national security (R +2) are more evenly divided. On immigration, the GOP had an 8-point edge in April. Now, Democrats are preferred by one point. ...



But how all that view change affects the outcome in November is, well, subject to the gerrymandering that Pres Trump has ordered to occur.

Looks like we also want to prolong this.

Think the MAGA GOP in the Senate is bad now, just wait until the Dems take over. The folks scared of Der Dotard now will double down in their allegiance, hoping to take a bullet for their god, and to receiving some campaign funds from him for 2028. Of course, Trump sees his super pac money as his. He would rather give up DJTJ, Eric and Lurch ...
