Really? That's the best you can do?

The vote was 336 to 95, clearing the two-thirds threshold required for passage. In the end, 209 Democrats and 127 Republicans joined to pass the bill. Ninety-three Republicans opposed it, as did two Democrats. Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, told reporters that he wanted the Senate to vote on the bill “as soon as possible.
And the Hard Right is pissed.
He hasn't gotten"? He drafted the request:
The legislation is not on the desk, you know that but are being obtuse
He is bound by existing conditions, e.g. the ratification of the Geneva Convention, not to facilitate genocide.
Has the International Criminal Court charged anyone on genocide? The President is bound by the legislation in front of them, not your feelings.
Same impression when I first read it.
So he should veto legislation he hasn't gotten, write an executive understanding order, which again can not set new conditions, or speak against aid to an ally. Doesn't seem to be cease fire material to me.
yeah, but Teamsters don't show up to a fight without preparing, including having already dug the other guys grave.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) announced he is filing an ethics complaint against former Speaker Kevin McCarthy following the California Republican’s altercation with Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), Axios reports.
Said Gaetz: “This Congress has seen a substantial increase in breaches of decorum unlike anything we have seen since the pre-Civil War era.”
Gaetz wrote that “while Rep. Burchett is within his rights to decline to press charges against Rep. McCarthy, your Committee does have a duty to investigate breaches of the binding Code of Official Conduct.”
Getting testy over there
An old man wants to control young women's bodies.
That makes no sense. Congress legislates and the executive executes that legislation. The President can't put further requirements on aid.
Has Biden become the PM of Israel? Or is it secret powers of sone sort.
The children are getting violent,
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) a “pussy” after he attacked her for lacking the “maturity and experience” to understand the proper way to bring an impeachment vote against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, The Hill reports.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) stood up and tried to fight Teamsters leader Sean O’Brien at a Senate hearing after reading his tweet where O’Brien says he’d take him “any time, any place.”
I think they should all carry canes again, but that's just me.
Golda Meir lost her position due to intel failures regarding Yom Kippur war. this was a shocking failure of intelligence and basic border control. Meir lost her position only after the guns stopped firing.
A similar thing happened to Menachem Begin, who was forced into retirement after the failure of the Lebanon invasion in 1982 and the international opprobrium heaped Israel's way after it essentially winked at a massacre of Palestinian civilians by Lebanese Christian militiamen later that year. But again, Begin was only forced out after Israel had pulled back to defensive positions in Southern Lebanon and its forces were no longer engaged in heavy combat.
Bibi is so busy trying to undo Israeli liberty and stay out of jail he did botch this and fate will not treat him kindly, and Bibi will be out once the shooting is over.
