That's why he doesn't include the House in his planning the way the Democrats do. McConnell's power comes from his sense of being indispensable as a negotiator. That's why he always gets rolled, too, because his sense of pride in the institution of the Senate is his blind spot.

He’s not really a copycat of his friend Biden and son.
His cut from the foreign laundered money deals is “for the Big Turtle.”

Kinda obvious ole Mitch is on the take.

The hryvnia (... Ukrainian: гривня ... abbr. : грн ... sign: ₴; code: UAH) has been the national currency of Ukraine since 2 September 1996.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the official exchange rate of hryvnia was fixed at ₴29.25 per US dollar and ₴33.17 per euro. On 21 July 2022, it was devalued to ₴36.5686 per US dollar, to bring it into alignment with the black market.
The international mid-market exchange rate fluctuates, but values the hryvnia slightly lower than the official rate.

Neither Russia or Ukraine will be allowed to end this war.
Our only hope to end this war is President Trump 2024/47.

Exclusive — Ron Johnson Says McConnell’s ‘Top Priority’ Was Ukraine Aid, Not Border Deal!

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), in an exclusive interview with Sirius XM Breitbart News Daily on Tuesday, slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for the recent border bill “debacle,” saying that the leader did not even put on the negotiating table a provision to tie Ukraine aid to border metrics and that his “top priority” was Ukraine aid, not securing the border.
the DC criminal cabal has to protect its’ kickbacks and scams so what the hell do they care about the rest of us or anything else for matter? All are worthy of a rope.
The “border deal” was never going to be of any use, and everyone knew it. It wasnt going to reduce the crowds coming in, nor would it appease the anti-immigration wave. At best it would have been a fig-leaf for the Democrats, for a little while anyway.
Ukraine funding is another matter. This is real, not a fig leaf. There are piles of armaments waiting to be shipped immediately.
This, excerpted from Wiki explains the flim-flam artist that is Mister McConnell...
In March 1967, shortly before the expiration of his educational draft deferment upon graduation from law school, McConnell enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve as a private at Louisville, Kentucky...This was a coveted position because the Reserve units were mostly kept out of combat during the Vietnam War...His first day of training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, was July 9, 1967, two days after taking the bar exam, and his last day was August 15, 1967... Shortly after his arrival he was diagnosed with optic neuritis and deemed medically unfit for military service, and was honorably discharged...His brief time in service has repeatedly been put at issue by his political opponents during his electoral campaigns.
These dates were, coincidentally, when yours truly and a few million or so of my fellow servicepersons wore the uniform and discharged our duty.
Johnson now needs to impeach McConnell. He’s outlived his “Use by” date.
If Ted Cruze or Ron Paul had been the Senate leader, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Why do se keep voting for and appointing traitors to high office?
Use it as leverage. You want aid to Ukraine? OK. Then even go so far as to pass HR 2, and have Biden sign it into law. Then you get aid to Ukraine and everyone’s happy. As for Brandon’s pet border bill? Yitgadal vyitkadash (beginning of Jewish mourner prayer) on that. HR 2.
Well, duh...
Why is that an “exclusive”?
That the Senate GOP is completely sold out on Ukraine above all things has been obvious for two years.
If MY Senator Ron Johnson (R, WI) says it, you can take it to the BANK.
He’s the Real Deal, Guys. Well, as close as we’re ever going to get again with the UniParty. :(
I have disagreed with him on a few minor issues - but all in all he’s one of the FEW Good Guys in Congress today.
(Self-made Man, can’t be bought. He’s got plenty of F-You Cash!)
He should have died a few weeks ago.
