After Wednesday’s meeting at the White House with President Biden and 20 congressional leaders, McConnell declared that he was done trying to placate Ukraine skeptics in Johnson’s conference. There’s roughly $110 billion on the table that would bolster Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s defense against Russia, along with helping Israel and Taiwan, and provide billions of dollars to shore up the U.S. border along Mexico.

Do you hear that everyone! McConnell is DONE with the skeptics! Give his MIC the $$$ they are asking for and the field labor the CHamber of Commerce is asking for or you'll get it!! Here is the money quote from the article:
" Asked about Johnson’s Afghanistan remark, McConnell quickly threw the speaker under the political bus.

“Well, I think Afghanistan was a big success,” McConnell said, noting his only dispute was with Biden’s poorly executed withdrawal. “We had not lost any personnel there in five or more years, women were largely normalized, there were girls in school and we weren’t getting killed, and the terrorists were not able to operate there.”

Get that everybody? Afghanistan was a success LOLOLOLOL!

McConnell isn’t even pretending to be a conservative at this point. He is as much at war with this country as Biden.

The Turtle is hitting the same fermented prune juice and ice cream that The Tater gets from his handlers.

McConnell declared that he was done trying to placate Ukraine skeptics in Johnson’s conference.

Uh oh, looks like we've let Mitch McConnell down again. If only we were more compliant to his will.

KIA in Afghanistan 2017-2023. Someone needs to print this out and force McConnell to read it:

November 27, 2018 - Three U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan blast.[28]
April 9, 2019 - Car bomb kills three US servicemembers outside Bagram Air Field.[29]
January 11, 2020 – Two U.S. service members were killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.[30]
January 27, 2020 – Two US Air Force crew members were killed when an E-11A aircraft crashed
February 8, 2020 – Two U.S. Special Operations Soldiers were killed and six service members wounded from an insider “Green on Blue” attack in Nangarhar.[31]

Yes… Clearly we must defend Ukraine’s border…While leaving our own border open to an invasion from the south so OUR people can be overwhelmed and replaced.

That shows you where the priorities of these effing political parasites are.

Gallows time for these traitorous bastards.

All Johnson has are “doubts”? Really?

This goober still hasn’t released the J6 videos. He talks a lot but he hasn’t delivered.

What a total disappointment.

[cuban leaf]

$110 billion could help our states quite a bit. Just sayin’.

Who is McConnel’s constituency? I live in Kentucky.

[laconic]

Either Mitch McConnell doesn’t care about Republicans or he is stupid. I happen to believe he is both. What a waste of our “representation” in Congress.

[ClearCase_guy]

It’s not about the war. I don’t think it’s ever been about the war.

It’s about putting money in the right pockets.

[Fledermaus]

To Hell with Ukraine. Stop wasting our money.

We are being invaded. Stop the insanity.

Hate the Turtle passionately.

Third week of January, and the grifting Ukie piano-playing puppet STILL hasn't got a whiff of the 60 billion dollars...

Ol' "Freeze" McConnell is mad, I tell ya! MAD!!

[HYPOCRACY]

Kevin McCarthy with a mortgage.

[kiryandil]

Me watching Ol' "Freeze" McConnell trip and fall down a flight of steps:

[Leaning Right]

Let’s not forget that Mitch McConnell’s father-in-law gave Mitch and his wife a gift of at least $5 million. And the father-in-law has very close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

He who pays the piper calls the tune.

Ha!

[SharpRightTurn]

If McConnell is smiling, it’s because there’s a lot of money flowing through the pipeline.

“Well, I think Afghanistan was a big success,” McConnell said, noting his only dispute was with Biden’s poorly executed withdrawal. “We had not lost any personnel there in five or more years, women were largely normalized, there were girls in school and we weren’t getting killed, and the terrorists were not able to operate there.” He lies.
