"SNIP..........

And from February 28th 2024:
"SNIP............

Amazing how such freedom lovers are all for putting the yoke of tyranny on others necks.

really work for.

(9,881 posts)Apparently that is the way Johnson will give in to Trump's demands. Give them the money and pretend it is a loan. I don't know if Dems will go with that but that is what I think is happening.

It was a ridiculously easy and inexpensive purchase. All Putin had to do was buy Trump, and he got the entire former republican party FOR FREE! Putin couldn't believe his good fortune. 🤗

(4,383 posts)The so-called Christian in the Speakers chair was just yesterday going to push the bill forward. I guess he had another epiphany that more Ukrainians must be killed. My disgust for this Putin boot licker grows exponentially by the day.
