      If he vetoed the bill over this, Congress probably just wouldn’t pass a bill to fund the military! It’s must pass! This is our one shot! /s

        And as we all know, if the military goes without approved funding limits, it completely breaks down and becomes useless overnight.

      Sure would be nice if every single citizen of the united states gets to personally bitch slap every member of congress, presidential cabinet, vp, pres, etc… When a completely unrelated thing gets shoved into a bill.

      There is 0 reason an (hypothetical) infrastructure bill for new sprinklers in hospitals needs to include a provision that Wisconsin dairy farms get a new milking machine. Those two things have nothing to do with each other. So why are they in the same bill.

      If you want it to be a bill, put it in its own separate proposal.

      Yup, gotta keep the Military Industrial Complex going… 🙄

      Or gotta give Ukraine one last chance of achieving something before Putin’s favourite peon gets into power.
