It’s high time the feckless Europeans - who are most at risk from a predatory Russia - step up and better fund the fight in Ukraine.

I don’t think you’re wrong. But time will tell.

Gaetz said this guy is MAGA.

If that is true, I’m not seeing the RINOs letting a MAGA guy within a mile of being Speaker.

Jordan is considers a Trump-guy, isn’t he? Look what they did to him.

Some thing odd about all the RINOs lining up to block Jordan but getting behind this guy so quickly.

This babble is all about having some functionary come to the House and present accounting that shows where Ukraine money went.

This is supposed to provide cover to House members for more flow.

The only defense will be insistence on knowing where the money, that portion of it that actually left the US and went to Ukraine, went in detail. This will require Ukraine to send accounting people to brief, and of course they will not be able to account for all of it.

That just may stop it.

But regardless of all that, step one is to unbundle it. Separate Israel money from Ukraine money.

And make DAMN sure border control money doesn’t get sent to cities to fund housing for the illegals Texas buses there.

“ The thing with the Ukraine money is it’s really money laundering. 95%+ of that money stays in the US to buy new gear for the Pentagon while the old gear gets sent to Ukraine at new gear prices.

Sure, send the old stuff to Ukraine. But let’s not pretend the money is for them when it isn’t.”
******************************************************************************

Please STOP with the despicable lies. Almost every government expenditure (e.g, pensions, salaries, supplies) in Ukraine is America funded.

“…not seeing the RINOs letting a MAGA guy within a mile of being Speaker.“

Here’s the problem for them- at some point they’re on the losing end. This May as well be that point.

Not one cent for the most corrupt regime in Europe.

Well I’ll eat crow, we look like we got a more conservative speaker out of this mess.

Now, lets see how it goes.

I guess I’m not one of the ‘most’.

For starters….

Not only would I like it to stop completely, I’d like every piece of military hardware we’ve given them returned to the US within the week.

I’d take either the cash that was given to support their payrolls, businesses, etc returned immediately or, if they don’t have it, then we get whatever that’s worth in grain or whatever they have over there until the debt is settled.

I’d like a complete forensic accounting of any accounts, anywhere in the world, that are attached to Zelensky or anyone else from that place to find out where they got the money.

“Israel I am for supporting at least to some degree”


I am too, but the tens of billions that Israel has gotten in military aid has gone into big ticket weapons with lots of graft and payoffs, rather than the basics like body armour.

Maybe.

If so, IMHO, it’ll be election time. When the tea leaves are reading that they don’t have a chance.

I just don’t see them doing it while they’re still in DC

I gladly be proven wrong

Sadly, thats what they all are. Gowdy was one of the best.

But, there is a modicum of truth about the fact that no matter what Comer or Jordan being to light, Garland isn’t going to do anything.

That being said, drop everything. All of it. Every single thing. Let the world know everything.

No Biden is going to go to prison for anything.

Best case scenario, put it out there, make them go broke and let them live in poverty the rest of their days.

I hope so.

I think that the lesson the new Speaker will take is you don’t contemptuously break your promises then dare your critics to vote to vacate the chair.

And the lesson for critics is that is easier to vacate the Chair than vote a replacement.

Agreed, it’s about time we had a peacemaker around (again).

Is anyone who supports sending U.S. to Israel a neocon?

Because time will tell. That’s why.

Everyone was piping bottles over musk and Twitter. Yeah….nah

Give it some time to see what this guy is all about, when he’s not 1 of 435. When he’s actually 3rd in line of succession for President.

If he is all about the people and Pres Trump, again, I’ll happily be wrong.

Let’s let the dust settle a bit before we start talking about a MAGA takeover of the House.
