The Dems should be blocking all votes like the GOP did under Obama. Fuck them.
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.

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.
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?
Good Lord, what a day to have eyes.
Wow, that is one of the worst diagrams I’ve seen in quite a while.
I move my mechanized infantry from hex 3042 to hex 4035 for 6VP
Is this Minesweeper?

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.
This bill also removed the right to repair requirement for military contracts. So if that $100 million jet from Lockheed martin breaks then we have to pay them whatever they want to fix it.
This creates a great incentive for the military contractors to build quality durable hardware …
Guess US needs more oil huh
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.
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
Dems gonna dem
I’ve lost all hope in this shithole country.
stay out of spite, and start organizing
time to organize
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?
Such a wicked nation
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)
Imperialism has always been bipartisan.
I want to know why those 18 Republicans voted against it
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?
Oh, now the MIC does something? Strange, they seemed to be oddly quiet when it comes to Ukraine. I’m always a bit surprised the MIC isn’t all in on sending both old military stock and newly developed stuff there for testing and recognition. So much money to be made. It can also be quite the advertisement if your 30-year-old tanks can crush the mighty modern Russian army. Including the invincible T14 Armata shown off in 2015.
This was their times to shine, and even the most hardened anti-war peace lovers would have been forced to thank them for it.
Does this belong in this community? Honestly curious. Fits the format, but not the theme.
Well there was funding for Israel in it you see, so they had to.
