President Biden vowed on Monday to veto a House Republican bill that would provide $17.6 billion in aid to Israel, calling it a “cynical political maneuver” intended to hurt the chances of passage for broader legislation that would provide money for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and the U.S. border.

House Republicans fiercely oppose the larger bill, which was unveiled by a small, bipartisan group of senators over the weekend. It calls for $118.3 billion in spending and would overhaul some of the nation’s immigration laws to deal with recent surges of migrants at the southern border.

    This is moving the goal posts. The top level comment says it will be bad, now you are saying that it might not be bad and we should be open to it being good…but that it’s just hard to give everything full critical analysis because there is so much.

    We are not all that far off from each other, I just think it’s better to hold no opinion in those situations. It’s okay to not have an opinion on something while also being highly suspicious of it.

    But I think you may agree with me that claiming it will be bad is close minded.
