| #12 I know Elenskyy is so hot right now U2 shows up at his concerts. So hot. War Powers Resolution calls for affirmation within some 60 days of actively participating in a war zone. I see calls for No-Fly Zone March 1. Calls for financial, RPG, tanks, Special Ops all at the same time frame. I know the neocon: generations are trying to keep their laundry mats open, and the Satraps of McConnell are trying to scare normal people into thinking the dismissal of RvW will usher in an era of knee stapling and kitchen cuffing - strangely in line with the dusting off of the sadmaiden costumes eh? Just saying, open that other front and have them sign their names on $40billion dollars marked for Covid relief, such as maintaining the grocery infrastructure so baby formula can make it to the shelves instead of going.....where, exactly? Gonna defend selling missiles to the IMC at the cost of starving babies? |

| #10 They want us to believe that the mighty Ukrainian Army will liberate Mariupol, Donbass and the Crimean Peninsula instead of just getting thousands of people killed. |

| #3 Your military industrial complex minions await your latest benevolence. Now cycle a good part of that back to us before the November election.* * money in congresscritters re-election campaigns can be converted to personal money when they depart the legislature. |
