How can so-called fiscally responsible Republicans sign off on what is now $174 billion in direct Ukraine aid with a national debt of $34 trillion—more than $250,000 for every American household?

In their desire to send billions of dollars to a conflict that our commander-in-chief has still, to this day, offered no plan for winning, the GOP’s leadership not only spurned their party’s own supporters but overlooked an opportunity to appeal to independent Americans frustrated by both political parties.

You are forgetting something. It’s primary season. How many SERIOUS challengers have stepped up to publicly call out the rinos? No one stood up to McCarthy when they knew he’d be the next speaker, a job he wasn’t up to. This years challengers are few and far between. AOC went after an establishment democrat. She’s got more balls than our leaders.

There is always going to be an Establishment, though it has different characteristics over time. The 1960s GOP Establishment didn’t like Goldwater or Reagan and was centered in the Northeast. Today’s GOP Establishment loves to call itself Reagan Republicans, and it’s everywhere (except in the parts of the Northeast where a Republican can’t get elected). Republicans in Congress are always going to be led by people who can get money from big donors and bring the herd of cats together, not by people who have firm ideological convictions.

Don’t know about the rest of you, but THIS Turnip is tapped OUT! Do what you can to make sure as little of your money as possible goes into Mother Government’s coffers.

She does NOT have your, or America’s, best interests at heart!

1. Because it is a rounding error out of the Federal budget with non-discretionary spending. It isn't the cause of our debt.
2. Because it is in our national interest to keep NATO, stymie the Russian-Iranian-Chinese alliance, help Taiwan deter China, restock US weapons and develop new weapons.
3. Because unlike most hysterical people here, they read the 4 bills and are willing to stand against lies
