US: House Democrats formally file discharge petition to force vote on Senate Ukraine aid package (www.cbsnews.com)

The Democratic discharge petition would require 218 signatures to force a vote on the aid package on the House floor.

This means that the Democrats would need some number of Republicans to sign the petition, because they will lose some of their own votes because the Senate aid package includes aid to Israel.

Republican bastards have filed a competing discharge petition without humanitarian aid, that even if passed would delay aid by weeks or months if it passes.

I suspect that the Republican measure contains Lizard People aid.

In 20 years, people will be wondering why the media didn't talk more about the R's being in bed with Russia.

Depends on who wins the future. They'll control the past.

That is what they are trying to do per Orwell.
The scary truth is that nobody controls the present. It is just chaos created by rival factions trying to gain control.

That’s not true; the oligarchs control the present, and none of this negatively impacts them in any way. In fact, quite the opposite.

In 20 years that will be a thought crime. You have been selected the retroactive reeducation by RokoCo's Basilisk division.
