There's a thin line where Biden gets helpful money for the border with non-inhumane policy adjustments, gets to brag on the campaign trail about working with Republicans to help the border issue, and also gets money for Ukraine to at least keep them from collapsing before the election.
But I'm intensely concerned there's going to be some horrible and illegal-under-international-law change Republicans demand that gets agreed to because the rest is the above rosy picture for Biden. Republicans "win" politically if none of that happens so I'd expect there's a pound of flesh to be demanded somewhere.
It's a really terrible situation. We need to fund Ukraine, because if they lose, NATO countries are likely next, which means we'll be obligated to send troops instead of just weapons and water.
But at the same time, the people holding the purse strings are the White Christian Nationalist Xenophobes, and there's no way around that fact; human lives are their political clubs and their amusing playthings, and Biden is forced to play ball with them.
Shocked that this comes from someone with a three day old account
Okay, vatnik
Don’t keep trying here, your boss will think it’s a waste of time. Start a new account and be a little subtler.
I mainly wanted to make the first comment, and now I’m answering because I have covid and all the time in the world. But you’re right, even I have better things to do.
