Now Kevin (McCarthy)!

[imanamerican63]

You know what you said is “very, very” wrong!

You made the comment “if Biden would have sent military aid to Ukraine sooner, Putin would have not invaded Ukraine”?

Well! Must you forget why they didn’t get the aid prior to Biden took office? Trump used that aid to bribe Ukraine to dig up dirt on his opponent, Biden? Hence first impeachment!

Then when Trump lost, Biden took office and your band of GOBers voted “NO” to send aid, but Putin invaded Ukraine and low and behold, you’re willing to send the aid that Ukraine should have been sent 2 to 3 years ago!

Once again, you proved to be an awful leader! Even McConnell said that they were wrong about Trump holding back the aid! McConnell is an ass like you, but at least he is willing to call out Trump! You on the other hand? Well, you’re are a complete moron hanging on to Trump’s coat tails! Oh, won’t it be so nice when you come tumbling down to the ground? You will have no one else to blame, but your silly, moronic self! Karma is coming to get you very soon!

1. Prior to the 2016 election McCarthy was well aware of Putin's $ support of Trump

2. I hate McCarthy. He is the quintessential empty-headed mansplainer.

Just hearing his voice makes me want to 🤮

[Emile]

3. I liked him better when he was spending his time snorting coke and

attending Congressional orgies.

6. Bwaaahaahaa

4. Not "bribe." Extort.

Congress had already approved the aid to Ukraine.

8. +1000 "Bribe" is the MSM euphemism for it. It was naked extortion.

And Trump was doing it at Putin's request.

[GoCubsGo]

9. Yeah, they also like to use "blackmail," which is also incorrect.

As with "bribe," it infers some wrongdoing by Zelenskyy who was just trying to get what was promised to his country with no strings attached.

[lagomorph777]

12. Right. Putin found out that Trump's opponent's son had done some business in Ukraine,

and used that as inducement to get Trump to block the aid; this was all part of his preparation for war. Trump, of course, didn't realize that Putin knew Zelenskyy would tell him to go fuck himself. Putin knew that would happen; his only interest was in getting the aid blocked.

5. Maybe McCarthy should have voted to impeach the president who tried to force Zelensky to

make a deal before getting those weapons?

[lagomorph777]

7. Please don't use the euphemism "bribe" for Trump's extortion of Ukraine.

It softens the perception of a truly evil criminal act.

10. Biden admin sent nearly a billion dollars of aide to Ukraine before Putrid attacked. This is another

... lie the GZP is starting and now has to be confronted by the sane

11. Well, Amato dropped out of the race againts McCarthy.

Now, there are only two relatively unknown Dems positioning to face him in the upcoming election.

So, it appears Karma won't be visiting Kevin via election loss.

I'd sure like to see him charged with treason, though. Removed from office in disgrace. Pacing a prison cell. Ah, now that is a nice thought...

[imanamerican63]

14. That is what was going by!

13. Isn't it possible that TFG purpose for extorting Ukraine is TWO FOLD. One him wanting dirt on Biden.

And two, given his relationship with Putin, I think he was knowingly helping smooth the road for Putin's plan invasion of Ukraine.

TFG could be a co-conspirator before the invasion because he likely knew what Putin had planned.

Without aid to Ukraine, far fewer defensive weapons would be staged to rebuff Russian troops at the borders.

Add to that thought that the GOP had believed they had the cards stacked to steal the 2020 election in TFG's favor.

Then TFG would have, at the very least, ignored the Russian invasion.

And with Congress doing TFG bidding, they would have refused any additional military aid to Ukraine.
