lol, talk about a length reply to a simple observation regarding your choice of terms — are you sure you’re not the offended one?

I’d pay to see them cavorting in secret ballet.

Used to be able to use Victoria’s Secret for eye bleach, but can’t even do that anymore.

I think I saw that Gaetz voted for Scalise in the 1st round of the actual vote for Speaker.

The last I heard from Rep. Jordan, in his interview with Greta Van Susteren I think (not sure), he indicated pretty strong opposition to letting Pooty run amok (Star Trek reference - my wording) in Eastern Europe, but demands Biden tell us what the heck the mission is, as opposed to vaguely explained “forever” sending of money, and, he wants better accounting of where the money goes.

Now, this whole focus on the money is a bit disingenuous, because most of US aid has been in the form of weaponry, a lot of it older weaponry not that far from scrapping anyway, and a lot of the real value, whatever it is, is in the bigger weapons. Undoubtedly some smaller weapons do get smuggled out of Ukraine and sold, much to the displeasure of most Ukrainians(!), but there is simply NO evidence that the pricey stuff, like HIMARS, tanks, or howitzers are being trotted off to Africa or wherever to the highest bidder. Until someone can find solid evidence of such activity, such accusations are total BS.

If, say, 15% of what’s sent is “corrupted”, given the magnitude of what’s at stake, only if it makes the difference in whether or not Pooty’s Russia is stopped or not am I hugely concerned. There are far greater issues at hand.*

If part of that 15% got back to the Biden crime syndicate, yes, that’s a big problem, because it would affect his policies. But, again, unless someone can come up with actual solid evidence of current (or since 2020) monies flowing back to Biden (in which case I say turn him over to some average Ukrainian soldiers to be disposed of), people are just spouting their own discreditation.

*Maybe it’s our education system? People just don’t seem to “get” what a breakdown of order in Europe would mean. We can see in the Middle East what US weakness or perceived US weakness can and and may be leading to. Europe, given a little time, is far more dangerous.

I’ll give Scalise the benefit of doubt for the time being.

Oh CRAP! I really thought good guy Jim Jordan had a decent chance...

One conservative voice who says the right things, said Jordon talks well but delivers little.

They were in favor of Scalise.

I am trying to remember the name. Heard it on the radio. (not Bongino)

Bongino says don't worry about personalities. Worry about results.

He only has a 58% conservative rating though; Jordan is 95%
《》《》《》

Wow, 58%???

Jordan, 95.

No wonder eGOP don’t want him as Speaker.

Might make Republicans man up.

Then we’re in agreement. Only lately, prior to the speaker election, he advocated a flat out ‘NO!’ on any aid to Ukraine, which I can’t countenance.

“Until someone can find solid evidence of such activity, such accusations are total BS.”

I wouldn’t actually put that past some bad actors in Ukraine just following the tradition of treachery and corruption of their forefathers. But Z proved to the satisfaction of Trump, and also by his actions (arresting an oligarch who had supported his election, refusing to run away like Kharzai did) that he is not like that. People who grew up in the Soviet Union will speculate that that incarceration is fake, and that everything is just a show; they are very cynical with good reason of all matters Eastern Europe, but I believe you have to believe in someone, and I choose to believe in Z as a great hope.

Still, “trust but verify” is common sense. There has to be a damned audit.
