Will this never end? Watch the GOPe fall right in line. Biden asking Congress for $33 billion in emergency aid for Ukraine against Russian invasion By Jeff Mordock - The Washington Times - Thursday, April 28, 2022 President Biden will ask Congress on Thursday for $33 billion in new funding to support Ukraine as it fights off a renewed Russian assault, while simultaneously pushing a plan to make it easier to seize and sell the assets of Russian oligarchs. A senior administration official said the funds will ensure Ukraine has the weapons it needs to fight its Russian attackers as well as replenish the U.S.’s own stockpile of weapons that have been rushed to Kyiv. The amount, which is a combination of U.S. military, economic and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, is expected to last through September, which is the end of the government’s fiscal year. washingtontimes.com

Great film, too. As often is the case, better than the remakes.

On the national GOP side, we have a bunch of lazy posers, thinking they are going to win the midterm election by default, because of inflation blah blah, not working for it, no real agenda, no harsh talk at Brandon, nothing. What did Biden do in order to prevent the Ukraine war? Any diplomatic initiatives? Negotiations? Or, did he think it was enough to keep giving firm dates about when Russia was going to invade? Could he kindly be more specific about the policy of “weakening” Russia - and how it will help prevent a world war? If he will say no one will ever use nukes - then, why isn’t NATO fighting alongside Ukraine? And, what about the “Putin inflation”, which started way before the invasion? What about reversing the policy of suppressing fossil fuels exploration and development - which is causing the high prices - as well as shortages of fertilizers? There are plenty of questions that Biden should be answering - but none are being asked. Dreizin is correct - he should not be allowed to pass on the questions to his secretaries and advisors - we are entitled to hear the answers directly from the President. In the meantime, our GOP “lazy posers” offer no initiatives, no answers and no questions. Somehow, they’re guaranteed to win in a landslide in November - simply because they’re not Dems. Maybe they will, but it would help to know what to expect from them… if anything.
