Because that’s not a thing. I’m talking about funding. Not decrying attacks on Israel. But I digress from your pointless lefty masturbation. Fap on. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cherries@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 child) Do you not find it suspicious that 7 Dems voted to continue funding the DHS? The exact number needed to pass the bill? Dem leadership can talk big game about not supporting ICE or how dissapointed they are, but when they publicly announce they aren't going to whip votes for no, it does feel like the Dem leadership is tacitly supporting ICE. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 point 9 months ago They needed a simple majority.

Yeah Jeffries is big time fucking up. Needs to be primaried. But no one here is going to vote Democrat so no one here will primary him, right? Y'all know this is in November yeah? permalink fedilink source parent
