On Tuesday, Senator Mitch McConnell proved once again that he is totally disconnected from the desires of the American people. Instead of stopping Biden from enacting more policies that are harming our economy, McConnell says that “helping Ukraine” is what he wants to be focused on right now. And exactly what money is the government using to help Ukraine? That’s right, your tax dollars.
“Making sure the Defense Department can deal with the major threats coming from Russia and China, providing assistance for the Ukrainians to defeat the Russians. That’s the number one priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans. That’s sort of how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment,” he said.

You were doing so good, right up to : “his announcement by McConnell was stupid, and gives McCarthy leverage if he’s got the cojones to use it.”
Thats when I fell off my chair laughing.
Vladimir Putin claims collapse of Soviet Union forced him to work as a taxi driver

What would you WANT Putin to say? Unlike some of our leadership, he seems to believe in the greatness of HIS country. I’ll support more money and arms for Ukraine when they account for what they’ve already received.
Vladimir Putin: I moonlighted as a taxi driver in the 1990s

“I’m sorry to disillusion ya, but Ukraine is not our nation.”
But it seems to have secret NATO and US defense treaties. You know about treaties, they are special agreements that keep wars from happening. Why would you not have them with everyone?!
I’ll say it:
What a dick.
How else are they supposed to fund the democrat reelection fund?
Mitch has talked Joe into letting him in on his laundry scheme?
That’s a pretty bold assertion, that the Ukraine war will topple the Russian government. Not only that, but even if it did result in change in Russia, who is to say that change would put the US in a better strategic position? No. We should be acting as a peacemaker, not fueling the conflict. Ukraine is not vital to US national interests.

Uh, don’t let AOC and the rest hear the Turtle slighted climate change as top priority. Might be a good excuse for the sudden addition of turtle soup to the DC menu.
“ It’s a rare thing but Mitch is right. National Security is the #1 job of the federal government.”

Just sayin’.

Congress Warns Of Government Shutdown If We Don't Fund Ukraine By Friday
Babylon Bee ^ | 12/20/2022 | Babylon BeePosted on 12/20/2022, 5:07:31 PM by DFG
WASHINGTON, D.C. — As Congress continued to conduct its final pieces of business before the holiday break, lawmakers warned that a total government shutdown could ensue if an agreement to send an additional package of tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine is not made by Friday.
"This situation is dire," Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell said to reporters gathered at the U.S. Capitol. "Our government is facing a shutdown, and the only way to avoid it is for us to send $45 billion to Ukraine by the end of the week. Life as we know it in the United States depends on us funding Ukraine. It doesn't get any more clear or understandable than that."
I don’t know you. You’re not important to my interests.
But if someone attacked you and I had the ability to help you I would.
But that’s me.
You would help me if I was attacked if and I you, but how do you know I didn’t instigate the attack? How much help would you provide? We are talking about nation states composed of millions of people with different loyalties and goals. You have simplified the issue when it is far more complex.
Number one priority for Deep State.
