    Mangolini asked Netanyahu not to do this, but he went ahead and did it anyway, banking on it putting the US in a position to be forced to get involved in this war. Mangolini is conflicted because he wants to get the approval of all the dictators, especially when they treat him badly (just like his daddy). But plenty of GOP/MAGA are against getting into wars so Mangolini doesn’t want to anger them. It’s a divisive issue for the GOP and maga base because it’s support Israel vs wait but not go to war for them.

    My guess is it should have enough GOP support to pass in the Senate (I know Rand Paul and at least a couple other repubs would support it, but other than Paul who is willing to defy trump, do the others have the guts to vote for it if Boss says no?). As for the House magats I assume they’ll just vote however Daddy tells them to. I’d think he would like to have an excuse like this for not joining netanyahu’s war.

      I think you might be underestimating the number of democrats that are also war hawks who want to bomb Iran.

                  Well, that’s just like, your opinion man. If you think my $20 is going to make a difference you aren’t a mathematician.

                    It’s objectively not an opinion, where the fuck do you think that money goes?

                    And sure, $20 here doesn’t matter. When a million other people also invest $20 “as a gag” or more trying to make a profit, whoops, that’s $20 million plus worth of death. They don’t make anything else. Only death.

        I could be. I was mostly thinking about what the GOP would do, but I expect most Dems will support it, since they passed pretty much the same bill in 2020.
