nope.

Israel has more than enough firepower to handle their own mess

jim-nastics.bsky.social•14 days ago

The old "weapons of mass distruction" number again as I see.

What a bunch of greedy fcktards. It's about stocks, and gas and oil and land and..... $$. And the US is already involved. You bankrolled the whole thing! Whilst your own people can't afford healthcare.

lallberry.bsky.social•13 days ago

Ohhhh, very stern words from such an enabler. I’ll believe it when I see it.

lallberry.bsky.social•14 days ago

Ummmmm - you voted YES on this boot-licking putz. Spare me your faux outrage

The entire Senate did voted unanimously to confirm Rubio. I get their logic — everyone thought he'd be the least problematic of the bunch. Turns out they were wrong, and many have apologized. Kaine has been fighting in the Progressive circle recently. I'm alarmed every time I see it, but glad.

lallberry.bsky.social•13 days ago

I realize they all did and “why”. Doesn’t make it right. If they didn’t realize what a big ass kisser he is/was - that’s on them. No excuses

tabisaurus.bsky.social•13 days ago

No excuses, but they can't go back and erase it, and I appreciate the good ones who took accountability and expressed their regret. I believe Kaine was among them.

As for the ones who voted for numerous nominees such as Fetterman, Booker, Cantwell, Slotkin, Schumer... they can kiss my ass.

lallberry.bsky.social•13 days ago

That wasn't Kaine's only bad vote. Plus he's still supporting the Genius Act. He's a coward

tabisaurus.bsky.social•12 days ago

Update: Kaine did not support the GENIUS Act in the most recent vote.

tabisaurus.bsky.social•13 days ago

Thank you for pointing that out. Usually, I'm pretty on top of who is supporting what, but the Genius Act has been under my radar between all the other evil neoliberal plots.

There goes 70% of the hope I had for Kaine with him supporting Sanders' resolutions to stop offensive weapons to Israel.

kurtrexcooper.bsky.social•14 days ago

We don’t need a war in the Middle East. The United States has been there and done that and it was an abject failure.

Was a complete waste of time and money.

Why haven’t you called out your dear colleague Mike Lee’s abhorrent behavior on social media? What do you plan to do about that?

fredgrott.bsky.social•14 days ago

can we also get a censor of Mike Lee for his threatening tweet?

dgofnb.bsky.social•14 days ago

The US Senate should join the war inside the US instead of talking salary to stand by while maga is destroying Democracy. Ok ? Do. That.

zach116.bsky.social•14 days ago

Don't get involved in Iran, but support Israel to the hilt. We know what the Ayatollahs are capable of. We can't forget the hostage crisis. Let Israel cripple Tehran for us.

sidneysabg.bsky.social•14 days ago

You know the US will join that war for two reasons: 1) TACO and the gang need service members that could turn on him as far from America as they can get them.

and 2

So if Trump gives the military industrial complex a profitable war, can we scrap the big, beautiful bill? That's the depraved level America has sunk to. It's all shallow deal making.

Preventing would start with not voting them into seats

lena804.bsky.social•12 days ago

Well done. That said, I agree the Rubio/Noem support was incomprehensible. Virginia voter here.

thoseschmitt.bsky.social•14 days ago

Agree! The Middle East is complex & complicated with no easy solutions. Multiple sided conflict - difficult for the most savvy & experienced negotiators!

BTW - why didn’t Trump just snap his fingers to prevent this in the first place?!

Brilliant idea. Nailed it

azreaicg.bsky.social•14 days ago

I don't know why anyone expects moral clarity from democrats.

Israel is our ally protecting themselves and american interests in the middle east.

Tim Kaine tried to disarm Israel and when that didn't work, now he's trying to protect Iran terrorists.

azreaicg.bsky.social•14 days ago

Tim Kaine supports Iran getting nuclear weapons to wipe Israel and the US out.

Iran has said "Destroying the US is a policy"

Tim Kaine doesn't care what the American people want. We stand with israel.

Israel is making the world a safer place and Tim Kaine is a coward.

Israel is our biggest ally, and on a weekend that Iran murdered Israeli civilians, what does Tim Kaine do?

He supports Iran! Doesn't even care that jewish civilians were killed.

Israel has full air superiority over Tehran. Not much of a war. Israel is having its way.

azreaicg.bsky.social•14 days ago

Israel is handling things perfectly well.

Iran is ready to surrender and Tim Kaine is a coward.

You should be thanking Israel.

Still waiting for you to make a statement condemning and asking for the expulsion of Mike Lee.

edfontan.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yes. We have learned that the U.S. policy is just sell more weapons and make more oligarchs richer. Everyone, red and blue are the same. If they have money for their campaigns they don’t care from where is it coming from or if is blood money.

lincoln72.bsky.social•14 days ago

Hi Senator- thanks for not agreeing to another endless war in the ME- would mean a lot more if you stopped blanket support for Israel- but I digress. BTW, have you seen the recent comment from Mike Lee about the assassination this weekend? Will you call for his censure? It’s called leadership.

tabisaurus.bsky.social•14 days ago

Kaine has been voting against sending offensive weapons to Israel. He's voted for all Bernie's resolutions. I was & still am very surprised that he has stood by it since the beginning, even up to the most recent vote. Every Congressperson could do more, but Kaine has not blanket supported Israel.

cameronbloomer.bsky.social•14 days ago

We must work to de-escalate the conflict with Iran. I support Senator Tim Kaine's resolution to limit trump's war powers. People say that his tariffs are designed to escape criminal charges by creating a war and declaring emergency powers.

maryhyd.bsky.social•14 days ago

I would believe that. Now add in the No Kings protests and the maliciously compliant military parade. All he knows how to do is flail.

gleness522.bsky.social•14 days ago

Israel can fk all the way off. Their government is a spreading cancer and should be tried in an international court for murdering women and children. A better idea is to stop all funding to Israel. Stop funding murder.
