Some time ago we began a Washington DC discussion on aid to Ukraine and Israel. The bill originally contained nothing on border security. The GOP refused to consider any such bill. So eventually the Biden Administration structured a border security feature that mirrored what the GOP wanted. But then Trump intervened and said something like “don’t solve the problem–if you do I won’t have anything to complain about”. So, Mike Johnson, GOP Speaker of the House–out of fear of Trump and the MAGA morons who might flush him like they did McCarthy–said “this bill is dead on arrival”. He said this without even looking at the bill. So the responsible people in the Senate who see the danger in not moving forward with a solution drafted a bill that excluded the border security provisions and Trump exploded again. He doesn’t want funding for Ukraine because he may have promised Putin that America will not stand in Putin’s way to take over Ukraine. It’s clear to us that the Trump interference is just his way of trying to make Biden look incompetent. But just the opposite is happening. This week the Senate passed a bipartisan bill to fund Ukraine and Israel by a 70 to 29 vote. Nearly half of all Republican senators voted FOR the bill and thereby risked offending Trump. Integrity is beginning to seep into the process. Now the question is: will Mike Johnson risk looking like a total fool by dancing to the Trump tune despite several GOP leaders defecting to the other side? If Johnson stays with Trump he’s likely to see a crisis of conscience among his own House Republicans and feel enormous pressure. If he agrees to at least consider the bill and it passes–as it surely will–he faces the Trump wrath and ouster at the hands of the MAGA morons. While this is being debated the House to cover its own failings has impeached Secretary Mayorkas for not doing his job. This is a purely political prank to take the focus off Trump’s legal messes and buy time around considering the bills being proposed. Another fallout is the Texas vs. Washington squabble over US Border Patrol agents and Texas National Guard authority. How long before Governor Abbott of Texas sees Democrat-controlled city Mayors send greyhound buses back to Texas with homeless people as a trade for bussed migrants? And, in the middle, are the poor migrants whose fate remains undecided. BOTTOM LINE: TRUMP AND THE IMPOTENT GOP HOUSE MEMBERS ARE JEOPARDIZING THE FREE WORLD BY WITHHOLDING AID TO UKRAINE. THEY’RE DELAYING A SOLUTION TO THE ISRAEL-PALESTINIAN SITUATION BY WITHHOLDING AID. THEY’RE STOPPING HUGE AMOUNTS OF HUMANITARIAN AID FROM GAZA STRIP INNOCENT CITIZENS CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE. AND THEY’RE MAKING LIFE IMPOSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE ALONG THE US-MEXICO BORDER. ALL OF THIS IN THE NAME OF TRUMP. If you see yourself as an independent, please check our facts and see if, in good conscience, you could vote for a man who thrives an chaos, ignores integrity, is totally self-absorbed and makes friends with dictators. Is that the kind of person you can accept as president? If you answer “yes” you prove my point about voting your bias. If you answered “no” then speak up now and in November.
