This bugged the hell out me when Maguire said the following....

Maguire when answering Rep. Demings about support for the Ukraine;

The United States is extremely supportive of the Ukraine. I would say that they are relying on us as they rely on other people in Europe and I would also say that the United States is probably paying more of their fair share for the support of Europe/of Ukraine than the others, the threats are real for the Ukrainian people......

Why say that, there was no need to? It's Trump's talking point and that tells me he is being partisan.

Besides it's a total lie. EU gives twice as much $$ to Ukraine as uSA does, plus Germany and others also give separately. This is just another of the rw lies we hear so often.

Who, besides a Trumper, would hand a national security complaint about Trump to Trump and ask him if it should be forwarded to Congress? Is there anyone in the US, over 10 years of age, who doesn't know how Trump would answer?

But he couldn't stop himself from spouting a drumpf talking point? Yes, the mask slipped. For a tiny moment I felt some compassion for the guy Coates left holding a flaming bag of poo. I'm over it.
