Corrupt grifting politicians don’t care what voters want, as long as they can get their votes by pretending their are differences within the Uniparty.

I am an “independent”,

I have never been in support of American money going to a tiff between Russia and a former buffer state.

The trouble is, the U.S. Government really doesn’t GAS what “most” think. We’re just the gullible and ignorant little people. It’s none of our business what the current Federal Government is doing.

Heard a religious show today with the lines: “We have enabled leaders to do what we don’t want for too long. They are public servants. Not public rulers. Not public monarchs. They are supposed to serve us.”

I thought The Biden Crime Family decided on funding for Ukraine. The republican House has been invisible.
