I did a search and couldn’t come up with anything indicating whether Trump had anything to say about this matter—one which has many conservatives extremely worked up. Why is this? I have a theory, but one which is a bit difficult to put into anything like syllogistic form.
Basically, my suspicion is that the Zhou regime, with the collusion of McConnell and Zelensky, is playing a sorta Russia card in order to get this Woke Dream Omnibus Spending Bill through before the House goes Republican. Here’s how it works.
McConnell announces that Ukraine is the Numero Uno priority for the United States, and so we have to keep the government running and flush with money so we can keep sending money to Ukraine.
Zelensky flies in to address a joint session of what we still call Congress. As Alexander Mercouris points out, that high profile, whirlwind trip follows on the heels of a reported Zelensky trip to Bakhmut and pleas from top generals for lots more US aid. All that in aid of an Omnibus Spending Bill that’s chock-a-block with Woke priorities.
In other words, McConnell and Zelensky coordinate with Zhou to get this bill passed. Zelensky’s payback is increased aid—increased from $35 billion to near $45 billion. The Patriot package adds to the glamor of. To get this done requires more Ukrainian lives wasted in a losing effort in Bakhmut—allowing Bakhmut’s fall before the aid is voted on would jeopardize the aid.
The implicit leverage here is that anyone who votes against our Number Uno priority must presumptively be pro-Russia—arguably an actual Russian agent. Does this explain Trump’s seeming silence over the last day or two?
Now, we easily see what’s in this for Ukraine and Zelensky. Likewise, the Dems. What’s in it for McConnell—that’s the interesting question. This is the guy who stonewalled Merrick Garland’s nomination for something like a year. Is it just that McConnell’s in the pay of the Deep State, or maybe the Globalists? I don’t know. Whatever the reason(s), they were sufficient for McConnell to throw pretty much the whole GOP. The confluence of circumstances is certainly interesting.
By the way, did you see this one?
Well, here’s the whole statement:
"The correspondence between the FBI and Twitter show nothing more than examples of our tradition, longstanding and ongoing federal government and private sector engagements, which involve numerous companies over multiple sectors and industries.
As evidenced in the correspondence, the FBI provides critical information to the private sector in an effort to allow them to protect themselves and their customers.
The men and women of the FBI work every day to protect the American public.
It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency."
“Conspiracy theorists and others” is pretty broad—it would seem to include everyone and anyone who has criticized the FBI’s employment of Twitter to withhold information from the American public. That last paragraph is really shameful—the whole tone is political in tone and falls squarely within what we expect from a national law enforcement agency in a National Security state.
You can get a taste of the type of conspiracy theorizing that the FBI finds so objectionable HERE.
This FBI statement is a classic example of the logical fallacy known as an “argumentum ad hominem” or “argument against the man”. It demonstrates the head honchos at the FBI can’t defend themselves against the Twitter information, therefore they must personally disparage anyone who criticizes them. So they are reduced to name calling, like any wretched bully on the proverbial playground who can’t get his way. How truly pathetic they are.

I can tell you first hand the anger I am witnessing at the betrayal is very, very real. I listened to 3 lifelong friends and several of their family & neighbors say they will never vote again should this bill pass.
Died in the wool, lifelong Republicans every one of them.
If this bill makes it and was enabled by Republicans, GOP will lose what is left of their dwindling base, and rightly so.
