Ok, what?
As usual, you keep getting it wrong.

The same border agents that supported the bipartisan border bill that Trump nixed?
OK.

You'll notice none of those inane posts mentions the Senate border bill.

Basically you aren't going to listen to anyone except people you agree with. Not a way to run a country or get what you want.
Nope, your Manchurian Candidate is.
You are espousing Russian lies again. If Zelenskyy had taken this fictional deal in April of 2022, Kharkiv would be in Russian hands and the line would be way further west of where it is now. Doesn't sound too smart to me. Also the deal was complete fiction but I suspect you know this. The Russian doesn't relinquish land unless he is removed from it by force.
Sounds like you aren't able to hold two ideas in your head at the same time.
Because the Pentagon leadership IS smart enough to keep two ideas in theirs heads: they can respect Biden as more patriotic than the MAGA while also being worried about other issues.

Why wait? Get your popcorn today.
The first time a U.S. president has been in the courtroom as defendant in a criminal trial.
45 makin’ history for all the wrong reasons again.

Hmmm…
No, because it would have done nothing to secure our U.S. border. Look, I’m not going to listen to what the left wants me to believe, that’s not going to happen, I told you, I only will listen to the people that live along and work along the border. I believe them, not what these insane Democrats are pushing from thousands of miles away from an air-conditioned office in DC.
This President is though.
Again, Zelenskyy is fighting a losing war. Should have taken the deal when he had the chance.
I personally don’t care. I only care about our people and our country and our open southern border.
So then why is the pentagon frustrated that the old guy in the WH is not listening to them.

Really Mike? As a evangelical Christian who is proud of his faith, believes unequivocally that life begins at conception, and has said "just look in the bible for any decisions I make"...
You're "100%" behind Trump's abortion stance allowing children to be murdered until the 15th week?
Welcome to MAGA-waffle-world...

If Johnson does as he says, then the Dems should give him the support he needs to pass it.

You see, Trump's Fat Gut maybe powerful to you, but it has no power for people who study these things for a living. What does have power is draining Putin's ability to fight.
TaiwanIsNotChina
There is such a thing as defeat in victory and victory in defeat. Could also be a draw more or less.
So then you should have supported the Senate deal which was 90% military hardware.
I'm not the dragging this country down in defeat because I don't understand subtleties.
But you think he benefits from US aid to Ukraine somehow, otherwise he wouldn't be "smiling".
Nope, leaving your enemy bruised and broken is not nonsense, it is victory for the US. You would seek to deny that.

No, I said “military.”
Hardly
No
What is is administration? What??
lincolnman
Trump, the idiot...
Wrong...
And the far-right fail again...
Yes...
What?
bass4funk
Ukraine, the country.
Military, not humanitarian, get it right.
And the left still didn’t take their own advice.
No, but he’s outsmarting the guy in the White House now.
Ukraine losing has everything to do with Senior Biden’s lack of geopolitical understanding.
lincolnman
Trump...
Supports Ukraine aid today...yesterday he didn't....tomorrow he won't...
Indeed...
Still loves the guy...
More Moscow Marjorie mirroring...
bass4funk
Well, it is pretty much lost.
Yes
What did you say earlier about not acting like a child?
I didn’t say Putin did.
Again, blowing through all that nonsensical crap, Ukraine is not going to win this conflict.
TaiwanIsNotChina
No, in the real world you can't show up to the battlefield with equipment after the war is lost.
You said you supported military aid for Ukraine. Was that just to not look like you had completely grabbed your ankles at the time?
Do you perhaps believe Putin pockets the money sent to Ukraine? Artillery shells kill Russian invaders which saves American lives in the future tremendously. This is reality.
bass4funk
Never too late. I see and understand why Trump is doing this, but am I for it, absolutely not. But what’s another wasted billions, just print more of it, won’t help Ukraine, they still will lose in the end and Putin laughs and rightfully so.

And Johnson pushed through the FISA renewal, against Trump's wishes just before his trip to the Don in Mar-a-Lago.
My thinking is that since the Dems will support Mike in a leadership challenge from the Twitter faction (MTG) if he sets a vote on Ukraine, he went down to Trump to dictate how it's going to work. Trump is ostensbly opposed to aid to Ukraine, but he doesn't have the support from Congress on that issue. So now he has changed his tune.
If that is true, it means a power shift away from Trump and the Twitter faction and towards the Democrats in Congress.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Link the aid because Ukraine is actually a useful ally. Perhaps it is time for Israel to surrender.
John
Let’s see what large Marge does. Did she get the memo?
Can she even read?
zibala
Get the aid to Israel, because that war is winnable and Israel is our number 1 ally in the region.
Limit aid to Ukraine and increase pressure on that country to negotiate with Russia. Right now, the best Ukraine can do is stay on the defensive. Time for that war to end.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Way too late, but I guess better late than never. Trying to make money off of an ally in trouble shows you about where MAGAs stand even on their best day.
Bob Fosse
“He and I are 100% united on these big agenda items,” Johnson said
45 supports US aid to Ukraine.
