Zelensky Leaves Empty-Handed: McConnell Admits Ukraine Aid Talks Going Nowhere, Punts to January
Breitbart ^ | 12/12/2023 | BRADLEY JAYE

Posted on 12/12/2023 12:01:21 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky will come up empty in his latest swing through the U.S. Capitol.

Negotiations on additional American aid to Ukraine paired with a border security package are dead for 2024, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly told his fellow Senate Republicans at their weekly lunch Tuesday.

NEWS: McConnell told Senate R’s during lunch just now that the Ukraine/border talks are not going anywhere this year, and that it’ll be punted to January, per attendees.

Echoes what Lankford has been saying publicly but notable that it’s coming from McConnell.

I’d rather see it punted to NEVER, but Mitch is gonna do what Mitch does and that’s to never make any real decisions.

So, Biden finds yet another way to circumvent Congress and the American people and pitch a few billion more to Ukraine (and by extension, several million to he and his family).

The Zelensky just got the Ngo Dinh Diem kiss of death.

The Democrats’ resistance to border control baffles me. Maybe I just don’t understand the support out there for massive immigration.

Motor voter states that allow drivers licenses for illegals are probably slyly registering them to vote at the same time. Makes sense for dims to resist border control in that event.

Punted to January because Congress won't do their job.

How many illegals will invade our nation during that punt?

They will punt/delay, but they'll pass something surreptitiously in the dead of night. They won't get any border concessions, they will get rolled again as usual.

“The Democrats’ resistance to border control baffles me.”


If you think it is just Democrats, you really don’t understand.

GOPe Swamp Repubs have given up on Ukraine. So now they are using Ukraine funding as a poison pill to kill border security.

You cannot be serious. Throwing the border open is the biggest rat illegal voter drive in history. It could not be more obvious.

Happy to explain: they don’t like the electorate they’ve got, so they want to substitute it a new one that is dependent, and if it’s t of the values of the nation. At the same time they’re teaching the native born children they should hate their own country. They want to burn it all down with the thought they’ll be undisputed rulers of the ruins

——-
Amen. The good Lord works in mysterious ways, as Saint Zelensky is now realizing. He is undoubtedly on his way out, pockets full of US taxpayers cash…

…….the question, will he live to spend it all? Most likely, a Ukie soldier’s bullet will bring justice for what he did to the Ukrainian people, and his soldiers.

Well....bye.

The amount of money flowing through the Ukraine into democRAT and RINO wallets is staggering. The only ‘worry’ these grifters have is the size of the grift.

From Dan Bongino’s book Follow The Money. The very first chapter titled Insane In The Ukraine is this:

“”Ukraine is a giant, twenty-four-hour ATM. A broken slot machine that spewed out money to greedy politicos, lobbyists, and, yes, a son of the vice president of the United States””

Besides the overall damage the Hussein/Biden Regime is causing, they are also printing and stealing as much as possible. They know that it will eventually stop, and they want their wallets as fat as possible.

There are reports from around the country that many college students, all named “Volodymyr Zelensky” have been been applying for college student loans. And most have a father (whose name is also Volodymyr Zelensky) applying for EV tax credits.

The GOP used to be called the Cheap Labor Express for their tacit support of illegal colonization. I believe that accusation is still valid.

Holding our border security hostage to Ukraine graft.

The GOP will be proud of their handiwork when their kids have to defend the Baltics, Poland, Romania, Germany etc.
