The term betrayal implies they once had the peoples' best interest in mind and were working on their behalf. The party may have betrayed the people 200 years ago, but what we are seeing today is not a betrayal.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Trump sucks a lot of dick, the most dick, the best dick.
Betraying the Constitution comes first though. We can prosecute them for failing the rest of the world next.
I know they're doing it because they hate brown people in their country more than brown people abroad, but kudos (?????) to the Republicans for blocking Israeli aid. Tragic that Ukraine is getting caught up in this mess.

"crucial aid to Israel"? What is Israel in danger of running out of white phosphorus bombs?
Money to bribe them to stop? Realistically they’ll go until they feel safe. Do you know what else should help them feel safe? More ammo for their anti middle defense. More infrastructure to rebuild the wall. More surveillance to prevent the next attack. None of which is an offensive weapon against Palestinians
None of that will help until they stop oppressing Palestinians. You can't security or military solution your way out of making enemies out of an entire population. Even lots of Israelis realize that Netanyahu's solution isn't working, they need to work on a diplomatic solution, one state or two state, something.
Gotta bundle it in with Ukraine so they can buy sympathy I guess.
