GOP: Friends of Ukraine?

 


Michael Tracey (who opposes US aid to Ukraine) doesn´t think the incoming Trump admin or the current GOP majority in the House have done enough to stop said aid. Or anything at all, really. 

>>>House Republicans pledged in 2022 to impose oversight on Biden's conduct of Ukraine war policy, and end the so-called "blank check." Then they won the majority, and this "oversight" consisted of *increasing* war funds to Ukraine, performing little or no actual oversight, and demanding Biden loosen restrictions on Ukraine. >>>The "oversight" that Republicans have been far more concerned with has been to confabulate an "anti-Semitism" panic, which they made a top legislative priority. >>>Now, Biden authorizes US ballistic missile strikes on Russia, and the House does nothing. Just like when Biden first authorized US munitions to be used inside Russia in May, and the House did nothing. However, there will be plenty of important action taken on Trans in bathrooms.

Further down the thread, somebody comments: "There will be no important action taken on trans in bathrooms, either." (This is a reference to Speaker Johnson prohibiting a Democrat House member who is a trans-woman from using the female bathrooms in Congress.)
