      I saw an article a few weeks ago that said Russia is building a town for all the Christian’s nationalists. If you build it they will come?

      It’s a shame we can’t ship our own tax dollars to our own people who need it as much if not more than either Israel or Ukraine.

        Yeah sure but here’s the thing, these assholes who are refusing to help Ukraine wouldn’t give a nickel to a starving child. Let’s not pretend they are going to do anything constructive with this money, just give a fatter tax break to billionaires and tell everyone democrats are their mortal enemies on this Earth and the root of all their problems.

      They need something to run on, I think. Abortion is a losing issue that Trump doesn’t care about, this and the border stuff are attempts to spin up issues they can run on besides culture war bromides.

    I think it’s funny that House Republicans don’t support a deal that gives them one thing they want in exchange for another thing that they also want. Apparently they believe that Democrats must be allowed to do literally nothing. (Would reverse psychology work on them? Maybe they’ll vote for the bill if Biden says he opposes it.)

    I didn’t think I’d ever root for Mitch McConnell but now I hope he gets these yahoos under control.
