How can one know when the job of pouring money down a drain is finished?

The least popular politician in America, a disgraced and rejected traitorous fool, makes demands of Speaker Johnson?

Mitch got his warning, but the Speaker of the House needs to stand strong and not authorize a cent unless it is for the US border.

Thank you for referencing that article ChicagoConservative27.

"McConnell raises pressure on Johnson over Ukraine [??? emphasis added]: ‘Finish the job’"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

What job is post-17th Amendment ratification McConnell talking about? /sarc

I don't see peacetime foreign aid listed in Congress's constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

In fact, Justice Joseph Story had explained that peacetime foreign aid is unconstitutional.

If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

That being said, patriots need to IMMEDIATELY primary ALL worthless, state and federal Trump-hating celebrity incumbent lawmakers and executives up for reelection this year, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company (and others?).

Incumbents need to be replaced with Trump-supporting patriot lawmakers in November so that hopeful Trump 47 will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office, but will be supported by the new Congress to finish draining the swamp.

Johnson is very weak. He’ll cave after a couple of days or weeks negotiating with himself.

A shame this POS McConnell is not as concerned with our border as he is with Ukraine.

McConnell didn’t express much interest in waiting weeks or maybe months for the House to come up with an alternative proposal to help Ukraine.

Well, John shouldn’t “express much interest” in aiding and abetting McConnell’s handout to the defense-industry.

I think the message is quite clear.....nobody wants to soak Ukraine with more of more without any results but destruction to themselves and their country...ad continual loss of land......... Zelesky wants World War...has been thumping his bible since day one for that. He’s been using the Ukrainian people from day one as fodder to make that happen.

The polls I posted, not to mention common knowledge, show that there is no position that "nobody wants."

Zelensky wants his country rescued from a takeover by invasion, not a war at all.

As there are polls so there are fairies in fairyland right?

I will gladly stand by my comment prior - you've apparently swallowed Biden and Zelensky’s dance.

Speaker Johnson should maybe float the idea of House hearings on how Communist Chinese money is affecting the votes of some US Senators?

I don't deal with fairy tales. Do you believe that no single American wants to honor our commitment to send aid to Ukraine?

It’s obviously not working.....and it’s not about a commitment when the other party isn’t fulfilling their side or bringing in the results stated over and over. - it’s not happening.
