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.
#defindthefbi #defundthecia and I would add #defundcongress if that were also possible - they have all become enemies of the people, such that we are no longer a "government of the people, for the people, and by the people." All are shameful, and not even aware enough to know it.
The Ukrainians haven't had a major battlefield loss in... a while. The money and arms will keep flowing as long as the rank and file think there is a W behind it.
On the other hand, we keep waiting for a Russian main offensive which never seems to come.
And where is Trump on Ukraine? I understand that its a political hot potato which he might rather avoid at this stage, but my instinct is he would claim he would have avoided it. Part of me wishes he would just say so...
Speaking of Trump, did you see Abp Vigano’s statement about the “gay” extravaganza at Mar-a-lago? “Trump’s LGBT gala shows Deep State has ‘contaminated the entire political elite. The Republican Party is recklessly pursuing a minority of voters who are indulging in lifestyles that are contrary to the Commandments and to the common good.’” (Link below)
Apropos of this and the discussion spurred by Mark’s recent commentary, I do believe we are going to see enthusiasm wane for the Trump Train going forward.
"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."
Faced with the threat of being blamed for a government shutdown (Whether they are to blame or not) has always caused the GOP to cave. By now it is reflexive. Presumably they got at least some of the gravy in that 4000+ page bill. Perhaps it includes a line item somewhere for thirty pieces of silver. I don't know to what extent McConnell believes the nonsense he spouted about Ukraine. I suppose that like many politicians before him, he believes in his own inventions as long as they serve his purposes.
The main lesson to be drawn from this is that McConnell feels the populist insurgency to be safely put down. This could not happen in any country that had even the prospect of an effective opposition party.
O/T (although maybe not): God bless Tucker Carlson, Glenn Greenwald, and Tulsi Gabbard for courageously standing up in opposition tonight on national television to the Standing Ovation Giving Uniparty Love Fest with Volodymyr Zelenskyy this afternoon in Washington, D.C. While it might seem that these public figures are protected by reason of their prominence, I don't necessarily agree. I think they are extraordinarily courageous.
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.

May be Trump is being offered a quid quid pro.
Stay quiet on the omnibus spending bill, and the criminal charges will go away?
I agree with the other commenters asking where is Trump on so many key issues:
- Ukraine corruption
- Censorship
- Jab side effects
- Border
- Building the infrastructure to fight the lefts lawfare
- Purging the eGOP party establishment from the county level on up
- Budget deficit
- Culture war from libraries to schools, and forced diversity training
- forced jabs in the military
- Jan 6 set up
- Covid early treatment
- Attacks in Churches in US
- Attacks on Christians worldwide
Truth Social I thought would be used to hammer these issues, but it seems castrated to keep on the apple and Google stores.
The only area Trump is still focused on is the 2020 election steal. And fighting all the lawfare he is enduring.
