Then the government should've fucking shut down. Not even close to an excuse for voting to fund genocide and I'm utterly baffled as to how you could possibly make such an argument.

the government would shut down

Good. A government that needs to commit genocide to even function shouldn't exist.

Imagine trying to use that as an excuse to fund genocide.

You can blame Republicans

Biden has been bypassing congress to send "israel" weapons faster.

I've been hearing this excuse for like a decade now.

Shutting down the government to refuse weapon sales to Israel would be a good thing, goddammit. I'd feel that maybe there's a shred of humanity left in those ghouls if they had.

People are missing the forest for the trees but you are right.

If Republicans force this through on every bill then at some point it would have to pass. You can't just shut down the US government indefinitely in the real world.
