Free ! Free ! Free just means let the kids pay for it
Where’s the commercial or video showing a toddler happily playing suddenly being demanded to pay its thousands of dollars share of the national debt ? When the toddler breaks into screaming” HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME ???” in tears ?

If this impeachment BS wasn’t going on Trump should have vetoed this. NOW I HOPE HE EXPLAINS AND BLAMES THAT SHAKEDOWN FORCING ITS PASSAGE.

That democrat controlled house 1600 or more page budget blaster hasn’t been examined but I bet there is Bailouts for sanctuary states and cities along with a mountain of other appropriations going for give-a-way projects

Honestly I don’t know what’s in that spending bill...but what I DO know is that its passage and Trump’s impeachment grinding to a halt ain’t NO coincidence.

Somebody thinks we all fell off the turnip truck.....

Can anyone interpret what this means in English? This is written in the usual backward, mirror image, inside out, Reverse Polish Notation style that the media always uses, and makes no sense to a casual reader.

Because the original request was nothing more than a presser and a photo op.

My take on this is that if the $250 million for Ukraine had been included, they would have used it as a talking point against Trump anyway. They would have said “see, Trump really did think the $250 was necessary for Ukraine, and he’s only releasing it now because he got ‘caught’ trying to use it as leverage for personal reasons to take down his political opponent Joe Biden.” So they were already planning to attack Trump on the $250 million, whether it was or wasn’t included in the spending package.

More hearsay from sources who want to remain anonymous.

Here are the facts. The Ukrainians got their aid, and they didn't have to investigate Biden to get it.

Need to pay attention to what apportionments the Democrats seem to be most concerned with. Follow the money...

Good.

There was a strong CORRUPTION ELEMENT in Ukraine’s government.

President was wise to do this.

Worth repeating:

”... three other countries had their military aid held up for corruption issues at exactly the same time Ukraine did.

It’s foreign policy, which is the responsibility of the POTUS and THAT is why the demand to take the “Ukraine” language out.
