We should not give up our liberties for so called security. The government will take the security ever further than you thought.

You realize that bill was 99% pork and devalued the dollar by printing money out of thin air?
1 up, 5y
I feel the need to point out (separate from the discussion of this particular bill) that most Bill's are 99% pork. The more popular the bill, the more unnecessary add ons. Often just so the vote can be used for political posturing

"How could you vote against school funding?"
"I didn't, I voted against the random provision that pardoned all death row inmates and gave them a gun."
"Why do you hate our children?"

(Just before someone says, what bill pardoned....? It's called hyperbole)

More selective history from the league leader and whataboutism to boot.

Why are you uncomfortable defending the topic of the meme? Why do you need to engage in whataboutism? If you can't respond to the meme, why respond?

The topic of the meme is about Democrats pushing for aide for Iran, but they stall for aide for Americans.

You engaged in whataboutism by bringing up Republicans who aren't even mentioned in the meme

And to the citation, again, do your own work you lazy little bitch. This isn't some obscure claim. It's widely reported. I could understand asking for a source with some arcane topic or research based claim. But this isn't that. So go look it up, c**t muscle.

No shit Republicans aren’t mentioned in the meme: you will never see a meme on the front page of “politics” criticizing Republicans ever in your life

That doesn’t mean you get to shut down discussion of their conduct when they do the very thing the meme accuses Democrats are doing.

Big logic fail

Nice insults there my man

No. There is a valid argument to be made about exposing hypocrisy.

But you didn't do that. In fact, you're not even talking about the same legislation. Your referencing prior legislation, and intelectualy honest on that topic either. You previously decried for just wanting to read the bill, saying it was delaying aide to Americans. Then in your next breath you defended Pelosi porking the bill as "just politics". You are a joke. You can't admit when you're wrong. You refuse to do your own research, then when people produce sources that prove their claim you just shrug and say "meh, doesn't matter." Then why ask for a citation if it doesn't matter?

A growing number of moderate Democrats have joined their progressive colleagues in calling for broad economic relief to Iran as the coronavirus pandemic ravages the country.

Well, Feinstein and her crew have a point that containing the virus wherever it is found on earth is in everyone’s interest. It makes no sense to weaponize this issue. If Iran can’t contain the outbreak in their own country, then it will linger and inevitably spread again and then we’ll all be shutting down again.

The virus is an enemy of mankind that doesn’t recognize political affiliation, nationality, or borders (unless those borders are 100% sealed which is extremely hard if not impossible to do)

That said: perhaps we should focus relief efforts here at home first before going out of our way to help an adversary.

I dunno man, I see both sides of this.

I am a little surprised it’s being discussed, because the right-wing makes shit like this up out of whole cloth all the f**kin’ time.

But having read the rationale behind it, it’s not the liberal lunacy the meme makes it out to be.

Another reason: Know who’s helping tons of countries out right now with PPE and test kits and such? China.

We’re basically in a Cold War with them at this point, and if we retreat inward and don’t help anyone rather than engage in our own Covid-19 diplomacy, we’re going to fall behind.

Yeah, we know liberal idiots like you have think it's not lunacy to hand a maniacal theocracy billions of dollars. Hell, Obama was sending plane loads of cash in the middle of night to Iran. No f**ks given.

Still not convinced helping Iran isn’t crazy?

Well, Iran could weaponize Covid-19 by sending a few infected people our way and start new outbreaks anywhere and any time they want.

It’s in all of humanity’s interest to play nice with each other until we beat this thing for good.

You mean the PPE and test kits that are faulty and causing more harm than good?
