Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) raged at Republicans lawmakers on the House floor for opposing an aid package to Ukraine before Saturday’s vote.
The House passed a $61 billion aid bill for Ukraine amid the country’s current war with Russia. Lawmakers also passed other bills providing assistance to Taiwan and other U.S. allies.
Hardline conservative lawmakers opposed the bipartisan legislation by arguing the money should have gone towards security at the U.S. southern border. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) worked with Democratic lawmakers to bring the aid bills to the floor and ensured it’s passage.
Connolly responded to those complaints by noting that the “the Ukrainian-Russian border is our border” and is vital to U.S. national security.
“Some say, well, we have to deal with our border first,” the Virginia lawmaker said during his speech. “The Ukrainian-Russian border is our border! It’s the border between depraved autocracy and freedom loving people seeking our democratic way of life! Do we have a stake in that outcome? Yes. Undeniably, yes.”

Someone from a party that tried to mandate an experimental drug and then wanted to fire you if you refused talking about “freedom loving” people is hilarious.
Democrat Gerry Connelly needs to wake up tomorrow morning in Ukraine, in a Ukrainian army uniform, with explicit orders that he will never be allowed to return to the United States.
Sorry, but we need to spend the money YOU DEMS (and Globalist RINOs) are money laundering to Ukraine for our borders...
Oooh, so we ARE funding our border! Good to know. Back to sleep.
In that case they can send all the Hispanic invaders to the Ukraine.
People like us don’t wonder, we know
What a pathetically compromised pathetic loser. How many of his extended criminal family are fighting in ukraine?
Pres Reagan and Israel’s powerful lobby....... “The American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee”.........
butted heads over his proposed sale of Airborne Warning Systems to Saudi Arabia in 1981.
The Israeli lobby worked hard against him but Reagan made an important point:
“It is not the business of other nations to make American foreign policy.”

Supporting Ukraine is supporting an anti-American, anti-Trump, child molesting, human trafficking, US taxpayer money laundering, democrap funding, criminal, outlaw State.
Supporting Ukraine is simply telling us all you are a liberal democrap.
The evidence is overwhelming.
Nice reference.
Whenever I see somebody using one of those, I think, “Here’s Your Sign!”
I was told that Russia, along with China and Iran, were an Axis of Evil against America. With them helping Russia with stuff, there is no hope for Ukraine to outlast Russia in this War of Attrition.

Yeah, the House War Speaker Churchill is a joke, a fool, and an idiot. He’s a disgrace whose brain is like that of a infant, incapable of thinking for himself, and is easily swayed by fear mongering tactics. Go home Mike.

If someone can provide evidence that the parent played a role in the ultimate outcome of their child's behavior as an adult, then I will change my position. I've known many good parents fail with their children, however, in the end their children righted themselves, in large part because of what their parents had instilled within them growing up. Some still continue down their destructive path. Others were actually led astray by their parents.
Right now, I do not know which role model Mike presented, or perhaps his wife.
I tried hard to excuse Mike in the beginning, but , he has changed my view of him, and it may extend to his parenting as well. But I haven't gone there yet on that aspect of him.
I’m not saying it’s a fault of Mike or his wife.
It is what it is.
I understand, just saying that it is irrelevant. I base my feelings about him on what he personally has done. Very disappointed in him, and why I didn’t even bother reading report about his sons. If he was being blackmailed because of that, then he caved for nothing, didn’t he. If he wasn’t blackmailed for that, then he’s worse than even I think of him being at this point. Just keep one think in mind when communicating with me. I will tell you exactly how I feel. Never take what I say personally, because I do not know you. I was just giving my take on the story. 🙂👍
All good Robert.
