Trump, Trumpism, Jan. 6 crimes, Israel Gov. Reaction to Putin aggression, Manchin antics vs Squad positions

Have events from Trump tax cuts in late 2017 to the questionable behavior of Israel's government in reaction to Zelensky's appeals and Israel's

impeachment, McCarthy pulling rug out from under his own January 6 commission negotiator in favor of a hostile stance toward an inquiry,

the Big Lie, circus-like election audits, a blizzard of legislated voting restrictions justified by the Big Lie,

the politicization of the federal covid-19 pandemic response, including Stone protege Michael Caputo's role at HHS,

Trump "taking back" covid-19 response policy "from the doctors," the unprecedented control of one of two major political parties by the loser

of the last presidential election,

legislators who voted against two major democratic party passed domestic appropriations packages taking credit for the obvious benefits to

positions of "the Squad," or do they continue to earn your contempt?

Ocasio-Cortez apologizes for her ‘present’ vote on Iron Dome funding. (Published 2021)

In a letter to constituents, the New York congresswoman suggested she had changed her “no” vote because she had been subjected to “hateful targeting” for opposing the aid.

WASHINGTON — "Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat of New York and the highest-profile progressive in the House, apologized on Friday to her constituents for an abrupt decision to pull back her vote against providing $1 billion in new funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, suggesting she had done so after being subjected to “hateful targeting” for opposing it.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the liberal group known as the Squad, was one of two members who voted “present” as the measure to help Israel replace missile interceptors overwhelmingly passed the House on Thursday on a vote of 420 to 9. She was seen weeping on the House floor after she switched her vote from “no” to “present.”

The episode captured the bitter divide among Democrats over Israel, which has pit a small but vocal group of progressives who have called for an end to conditions-free aid to the country against the vast majority of the party, which maintains that the United States must not waver in its backing for Israel’s right to defend itself..."

Ukraine official said to claim Bennett pushed Zelensky to ‘surrender’ to Putin deal​

Prime Minister's Office denies he advised Ukraine president to accept Russia's terms, as ties between Jerusalem and Kyiv sour
www.timesofisrael.com
March 11, 2022
"...Zelensky is under the impression that Bennett has taken up the role of mediator as part of his effort to avoid picking sides in a war and damaging Israel’s ties with Russia, the official claimed..."

Posted last October,

The RWE oligarch take down of the U.S. seems only a half-step behind its success in Israel. It is loyal to no liberal democracy's flag.

At least 30 Russian oligarchs, it goes without saying they are at minimum responsive to Putin's "suggestions" because he could stop them from "emigrating" if they weren't, have taken Israeli citizenship in recent years. One lure is a ten-year, no-taxes" incentive law.

"The Iron Dome" was fully paid for thanks to U.S. gov. subsidy, a hand-out to the Israeli gov. and U.S. defense contractor, Raytheon. But even that is not enough and instead of demanding that Israel approach these Russian tax refugees and other Israeli citizen billionaires for defense contributions, say, $25 million each as an alternative to U.S. legislators borrowing another billion from our grandchildren, this is what has been happening in the past ten days.

Whose politics would actually be more beneficial to at least 2/3 of the U.S. population, The Squad's or the politics of the center right to extreme right which are much more meshed with each other than the Squad's?

If not for the Squad, there would be no debate about U.S. relations with the Israeli government, at all.

Biden's government demands more of China than of Israel.

Bennett holds back-to-back phone calls with Putin, Zelensky on ceasefire efforts

Israeli official says Russian leader, in 90-minute call, complained to PM about 'barbaric' Ukrainian acts in separatist-held region

www.timesofisrael.com

March 14, 2022

"...The official said Putin complained to Bennett about the “barbaric” acts of Ukrainian soldiers in the separatist-held Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, where Russia claims 20 civilians were killed. Those reports remain unconfirmed....Israeli officials have indicated that Jerusalem has not taken a position, nor has it brought forward a proposal for a ceasefire. Rather, they assert that Bennett’s role has been to clarify the two sides’ positions to each other and to other global players, thanks to Israel’s good relations with both nations.

Zelensky suggested on Saturday that negotiations between Ukraine and Russia to end the war could be held in Jerusalem, but the prospect of Israel’s capital hosting a summit for negotiators remains particularly low after Monday’s call with Putin, Channel 12 reported."

(All Senate Republicans, including Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, are uniformly opposed to BBB.) The expanded child tax credit—both its higher cash amounts and the refundability aspect that was so key to poor families—expired at the end of December.

“Why should my granddaughter not get it because me and my husband are disabled?” Boyles said about Manchin’s stipulation on work requirements. “I didn’t ask to be raising a 16-year-old at 63.” Ironically, one of the concerns Manchin raised, falsely, was that the benefit would be inaccessible to grandparents raising their grandchildren. Grandparents are able to receive the credit if they claim their grandchildren as dependents.."

Manchin's private comments on Capitol Hill underscored his dispute with the White House over key pieces of Democrats' agenda.

Sen. Joe Manchin suggests Child Tax Credit payments would be used to buy drugs​

The Democrat has said he won't support the "Build Back Better" plan as written.
ByRachel Scott andBenjamin Siegel
20 December 2021

2nd poorest, whitest, least educated state in the country. How much have the two senators, Manchin and Capito, cost them in the past year and how much extra debt have they put on the residents of West Virginia compared to if voters had sent two democrats to DC to represent WV
in the senate?

Maybe the loss of the childcare tax credit payment that expired four months ago, thanks to Sen. Manchin, wasn't appreciated because
the state's residents are not even reproducing at a replacement rate and perhaps, considering the unhappiness index is nearly highest in the
Huntington and Charleston, WV metro areas 172 & 179 of 182 in the country, not much matters to residents anymore....
