The Democratic discharge petition would require 218 signatures to force a vote on the aid package on the House floor.

This means that the Democrats would need some number of Republicans to sign the petition, because they will lose some of their own votes because the Senate aid package includes aid to Israel.

Republican bastards have filed a competing discharge petition without humanitarian aid, that even if passed would delay aid by weeks or months if it passes.

I suspect that the Republican measure contains Lizard People aid.

bundling bills is the only way to ever pass anything

That seems like a bit of a stretch. There seems to be very strong cross-party support for Ukraine aid. I don't see why that wouldn't pass in its own individual bill.

Yeah I'm sure the past several months of the Republicans refusing to support aid to Ukraine shows their strong support for sending aid to Ukraine.

This is being done in this Mannar because Republicans refuse to aid Ukraine without some kind of kickback

Trump and Putin have come to agreements on a range of issues.

Republicans refusing to support aid to Ukraine

As I understand it, Republicans as a whole have not been refusing to support Ukraine.

Sure sure just 90+ % of them, that makes it totally cool...
