Above; Donald having a Phil moment.
The House GOP mess threatens aid to Ukraine in it’s fight against Russian aggression. Ukraine’s forces have taken back almost half the land Vlad Putin‘s army invaded in an attempt to overrun the country (BBC). To back out on them now would be unforgivable and cowardly.
Just as the “Chaos Caucus” led by Matt Gaetz, assisted by strategically challenged democrats, was able to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy; Hamas struck. Raping and murdering their was into Israel Ismael Haniyeh‘s Derliwangers created the perfect diversion. Funding for the defenders has been in danger ever since. Phil (says he was Rommel but wasn’t) and Co is more encouraged in their war on Ukraine. It’s to benefit their next empire.
The Ayatollah Khamenie provides weapons to Hamas and Vlad.
While congressman squabble Ukraine’s forces dig in to hold the gains they’ve made. Winter is upon them and Russia will probably resort to bombing civilians and Ukraine’s energy grid to cut them off from heat. The dysfunctional GOP is now arguing about immigration funding tied to the bill (CNN). The budget was hashed out at the beginning of the year. The repeat, and complete waste of time, posturing over finances now is redundant and immature.
The proposal to provide more money to handle border problems has been rejected by the GOP. Why? More money will help handle the problem. President Biden has promised to close the border if Congress will make it legal to do so. The GOP has rejected this proposal. Why?
Because this farce has nothing to do with the border. It is, like the Hamas attack, an attempt to prevent funding for Ukraine. The fascist giants and the loyal subjects who fear them are simply throwing another layer of crap to distract us from our responsibility to NATO.
In the meantime, Donald Trump former friend of Jeffrey Epstein is manipulating the GOP from the sidelines. His master is using him to keep everyone’s focus on Texas and away from Ukraine.
Is the US going to appear weak in the face of tyranny? Are we going to buckle and let Vlad outlast our support for democracy? Are we going to send a message to other dictators that the US will no longer oppose their aggression?
The world, and US voters, are going to remember this GOP debacle if Ukraine gets overrun by Russia.
