Approximately never. We are in a situation where Congress is unusually beholden to their constituents for once, because those people care deeply about Donald Trump. So this is what they want; not just the war, but everything -- they want all the power to rest with Trump.

I think you're mistaken about who congress is beholden to at this particular point in time...

The war has record low approval ratings, even among Trump's base.

I’m just hoping Schumer doesn’t advocate for merging with IDF, if the GOP loses the majority

Joe and Eileen Bailey[1] support the war, which is why Schumer is staying tight-lipped.

The US Army becoming Israel’s strike force, at the hands of rapist, what a time to be alive

The war does, Trump does not. He maintains very strong support among the base, and that is the part keeping the GOP politicians in line. It is why some of them just resign instead of enduring the threats from his supporters.

It's the special interest groups. Specifically Israel's lobbying efforts. No need to try to obfuscate it at this point.
