Like I said, there's plenty of money for national defense if we put an end to Democrats’ corrupt vote-buying schemes.

There is NO MONEY when a country is borrowing over a Trillion dollars every year to meet their spending requirements, which we are.
Can you get that into your head?

As for Ukraine being allegedly “super corrupt”, I've seen no evidence they are even a bit more corrupt than our own politicians, and lots of evidence that Ukrainians as a people are both less corrupt and more courageous than Russians.

Ukraine IS corrupt. Read about Hunter Biden's laptop.
As for we having corruption in America too, well we are not getting tens of billions of free dollars from anybody.
Ukraine IS getting tens of billions from America.
Who pays the piper calls the tune.

Sure, you can lie about it all you wish, day and night, 24 hours a day you can lie, but the truth remains just what I said: there's plenty of money for a robust national defense as soon as we stop squandering it on corrupt Democrat vote-buying schemes.

Hunter Biden's laptop means Hunter Biden is corrupt, plus his family, plus the FBI which protects them from justice.
It may also mean there are some corrupt Ukrainians.

It does not mean that either the entire US or the entire Ukraine are corrupt.
Good people still have to do the right things, regardless of some corruption.

Republicans like Rand Paul and Jim Jordan voted against aid to Ukraine precisely because they didn't believe we'd put adequate controls to prevent misuse of our aid to Ukraine.
I think they're exactly right about it -- we should have strong controls to prevent misuse & corruption.
And we will when Republicans take charge.
In the mean time, Ukraine still has a war to fight and we need to help them, just as other countries helped us in our Revolutionary War.

Did you forget about that?
