    The Putin Caucus at work. (Trump is Putin’s lapdog. Tell your friends.)

    So I guess Moscow Mitch is back.

    Correct me of I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure the president has the authority to send troops to engage an enemy for up to like 60 days before needing to have anything cleared by congress.

    If this is how Republicans want to play, we could still still support Ukraine by intervening directly.

    Honestly best thing Republicans have done in the past 20 years. Don’t get me wrong Ukraine needs US support, but this is the fault of the dinosaurs that decided Ukrainian and aid support for Israel’s genocide are synonymous.

      This has nothing to do with Israel. Republicans would nuke Gaza if they could.

      This is them holding up broadly popular legislation in order to make some stupid demands on “border security” so they can tell their constituents that they basically built a wall.

        Yeah I know. I’m just happy they’re fucking themselves over at the expense of Israel’s genocide, though it’s sad that Ukraine got caught up in the mess.

      Ukraine support was already under fire, they tried to push it through by attaching it to the Israel package.

        Well I guess in a way they’re standing up for their principles? Anyway I just wish Ukrainian aid could just pass without support for Israel’s genocide.

    Trump moved billions for the useless border wall from military funding without consulting the House.

    Just do that and write an IOU to the pentagon. Although I’m sure they won’t mind. The more Russians Ukraine blows up are less our troops will have to fight in the future.

    They have actually done something good for once. God damn. I know it’s not out of the goodness of their hearts, but still, I like it. Bring on the downvotes. Yummy in my tummy.
