Jeez, if you don't think McCarthy and others are already positioning themselves to -- America First!- cut aid to Ukraine, you're just not listening!
That's probably true, but lame duck passage of a huge bill is our best bet. Otherwise, many Republicans will cut the amount and then exact a political price for what they do vote for. Why can't you see that?
I really can't decide whether you're just inept and clumsily combative in how you express your views, or . . .
I think it is a matter of reading into what is said by the other side based in your expectations going in. There was plenty of analysis and a follow-up quote from him saying what is the big deal, don’t you want more bang for the buck and no blank cheque?
He personally voted for the previous aid packages and McConnel said that the Senate Republicans support continuing aid to Ukraine.
If you think that recognizing political speech pandering to a base is inept, then, sure, go with that.
There is zero chance of anything but a Democrat representing the district where I live, so not a direct concern for me, but the Republican base is pretty anti-Russia (and China) and very pro-Ukraine and Taiwan.
Maybe stop labeling people that don’t agree with you as being stupid and perhaps you will be more persuasive.o think the Republicans nominated a pretty inept cadre of new candidates this time, the fact that they are doing so well is enough for me to see that the Democrats are missing what is important to the voters.
What is important to me is that we continue to aid Ukraine and keep Europe doing the same and get ready for whatever China will try next.
I personally am not a genius in my voting. I just voted no way Trump and Harris lived in my home city and her mom taught at one of the universities I went to. Otherwise I was going to vote Green or Libertarian.
