Republicans opposed aid to Israel purely to spite Democrats

That's why i put "if that's true" in there. Republicans are going to vote down whatever, including the border bill they were refering to, or the Isreal aid you mentioned. It wasn't actually stopped by Trump. But the fact both were stopped is good.

Personally I don't care if politicians do good things out of spite or out of good intentions. If they're doing good things by shooting down a terrible bill, that's a good thing.

Legit, let the stopped clocks be right. What, should we prefer they be wrong even more often than they already are?

Sure, but after trolling for a bit they still let the weapons through. There was never a shortage.

Shucks, I guess I won't vote for them then

Yet you somehow think that's worse than you supporting the ongoing genocide to spite the Republicans, disgusting spineless worm

Not sure where you got that interpretation from.
