Yep!

Some TV clown was declaring that it was "unconstitutional" for Trump to interfere with Congressional funding allocations. (i.e. aid to Ukraine)

Not only is he wrong about that but the Javelins were a MILITARY SALE, NOT "foreign aide"!!!!

We give countries Foreign Military Funding (FMF) that they must spend on contracts purchasing our stuff. That’s the world of Foreign Military Sales. Then there’s DCS, which is Direct Commercial Sales - if you want a lesson in graft, corruption and bribery, this is the place to be. Look up the term ‘offsets’ and you’ll see what I mean. Some major US companies have built hotels to line the pockets of foreign leaders and their relatives.
