The House Rules Committee has once again blocked the possibility of a full House vote on removing the unprecedented integration of the U.S. and Israeli military’s technological and industrial complexes from the $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget for 2027.

On Monday, the committee published a list of amendments it deems “in order” to receive consideration on the House floor when the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) comes to a vote. Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-Kentucky) amendment targeting the U.S.-Israeli integration was not on the list, meaning that the committee has barred it from being debated and voted on by the full House chamber.

Hey old-farts/dumb-shits, making the US military subservient to the genocidal maniacs of Isreal will not buy your way into heaven.

    Hey old-farts/dumb-shits, making the US military subservient to the genocidal maniacs of Isreal will not buy your way into heaven.

    Truth. I wish more people understood that it is this, old men’s fears of hell, that is driving all the pro-Israel bullshit in Congress and not actually anything having to do with real world issues – beyond stealing the Gaza strip for development and trying to make the actual victims of their theft the world’s enemy, of course.

    But even that’s just bonus.

    It’s still ALL about genuinely bad individuals in power who have done truly bad things their entire lives now growing old, with just enough understanding of Christianity to be frightened of the roaring encroaching hellfire they know they deserve, and trying to buy their way out of the heat via a handful of Old Testament verses that promise good things to those who “bless Jerusalem” (iow, Israel).
