Republicans Block Ukraine Aid Bill, Putting New Pressure on Border Talks
Wall Street Journal ^ | 12/6/2023 | Siobhan Hughes

“As we’ve said for weeks, legislation that doesn’t include policy changes to secure our borders will not pass the Senate,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), who has been one of the most ardent supporters of Ukraine.

Republicans and Democrats have been discussing a change to tighten the initial asylum screening standard, but GOP lawmakers have said that change alone isn’t enough. They have broadened their demands to include a massive expansion of immigration detention for asylum seekers, the ability to send asylum seekers to other countries the U.S. deems are safe and limits on an immigration status known as humanitarian parole. The Biden administration has used parole expansively to let in hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Ukraine war and asylum seekers at the border who sign up in advance.

Ukraine: Volodymyr Zelensky invokes Winston Churchill

Ah; nice try, Jon (or, are you Frick? It gets confusing; so, I’ll just refer to you as Frick from here on out, and to your doppelganger as Frack): Your link is to a news source that links Zelensky to Churchill (i.e., a news article that says Zelensky invoked Churchill); but, Frick, they weren’t quoting me. There were several news articles saying something similar; but, of course, none carried my byline, because I have never penned nor made such a comparison...anywhere.

So, are you finally admitting — in a roundabout way — that you made up the whole thing about me comparing Zelensky to Churchill? A simple “Yes” reply here on this thread will suffice, and we can put this to rest. Or, you can continue the game, and I will gladly play. The choice is yours, Frick.

Say “Hi!” to Frack for me.

who the hell is Frack, and why in the world are you running away from Biden’s war? You wanted this, you got this and now that’s in a state of collapse, you come after me rather than look in the mirror. What a disgrace you are.

You sound angry, Frick. Struck a nerve, did I?

Frack? He’s your doppelganger; you know, the one to whom you sent the non-existent link.

I have no idea who you are talking about, unless it’s a reference to the Katzenjammer Kids you and the gang watch in the Day room before turning in.

Ah, Frick: See post #38. You see, Frick, if you sent Frack the “link” mere hours ago, it should be ready to hand, and present no problem at all to you simply sending it again, to me, on this thread. You can do that, Frick; can’t you?

the Frick/Frack thing isn’t working.

You probably think your dentures are working well too. <

Well, since I don’t have dentures, your premise is invalid.

Ah, Frick: If you are having trouble sending me that “link,” perhaps you can ask Frack for assistance.

Biden signs what he’s TOLD to sign. Just like he does whatever else he’s TOLD to do. He is not and engaged President in any shape, form or fashion. Whatever you’re thinking about possible vetos or legislative action, it isn’t at the behest of Biden. More like those that control him.

Previously sent.

BTW, Your Biden believes WWIII can be avoided if we simply send more money to The Zelensky. Explain your position.

I don’t disagree. Biden is just a marionette.

Post the link, Frick.

You see, Frick; I’ve been asking you to provide the link for several weeks; yet, you still have not done so. So, the way this is going to work going forward, is when you answer my question (i.e., provide the link), I will answer yours.

Get it, Frick?

Provide the link.

“Previously sent.”

Nice try, Frick. You haven’t sent it, because it doesn’t exist.

Yet, you claim it does; and Frack even said you sent it to him (her). So, it should be at your fingertips, and you should be able to send it to me now, on this thread; if you have trouble, ask Frack for assistance.

It should be easy, Frick.

How many times should I post your comment? Ask Frack. He’s my witness.

“How many times should I post your comment? Ask Frack. He’s my witness.”

Nice try, Frick. You have never posted it to me, or on any thread. You didn’t even post it on the thread on which Frack commented. So, Frick, you either sent it to Frack via private mail; or both you and Frack are lying (which, of course, you are).

So, Frick; since Frack claims you sent it to him (her) just hours ago, both of you should have ready access to it, and can post it to me, right here on this thread.

I await.

BTW: I’m going to cc Frack, so he (she) can help you out in that regard.

Would these afternoon tantrums of yours be associated with Sundowning? The Biden seems to be troubled by something similar.
