McConnell says Tucker Carlson and Trump's waffling delayed crucial Ukraine aid
The Senate Republican leader pointed to Carlson's "demonization of Ukraine," along with Trump's "mixed views" and resistance to additional aid as reasons it's taken so long to pass.

Oh so now Mitch is back to criticizing trump again? What did Mitch get rebooted again and forget endorsing him a few weeks ago?
I have one guess. There’s absolutely 0 evidence for it so maybe I am just fooling myself that it is plausible when it isn’t.
But, a bunch of people have been suddenly turning anti-Russia recently who were previously very cool with it. Something changed. My unfounded theory is, more criminal charges are coming for people who have been agent-ing for Russia, and McConnell and the other lawful evils are trying to just emphasize that they’re nowhere near those charges, no how sir.
One can dream I suppose.
Probably I am dreaming yes

Did the Russian checks start bouncing?
I mean, honestly? That might be another explanation. Some combination of sanctions, effective counterintelligence, or "Ukraine is getting their weapons so what the hell are we paying you for" blocking the payments.
Russia's not running out of money any time soon (not on the scale of the laughably small amounts that it takes to corrupt people in the US government), but there are other reasons why people might not be getting their checks anymore. And Rand Paul is still going strong, where he's one of the people who's just motivated by some absolutely cockeyed internal compass that gravitates unerringly to the wrong answer on absolutely everything, so that would track, too.
Such a beautiful description of Rand Paul.
Its like he knows the rught way but will not act that way unless paid to.
Very liberdashian.
With the Europeans dismantling a propaganda and bribe network Europe-wide, the Germans catching their far-right taking money directly from Russia, I suspect they're hedging their bets.
EU seized the money so the bribes are drying up.
The wind is shifting, that's for sure.
Most of the money goes to US weapons manufacturers. The weapons manufacturers are very big political donors.
You can create all the hoo har you want, to “energise your base”, but when to music stops and it’s time to vote , you do as you are told and get that public money into hands of the defence contractors as quickly as you can.
MTG found this out yesterday when she was publicly called an idiot : unhinged rant about Jewish space lasers ? No problemo. Put $90bn of weapons money at risk ? You’re a lunatic.
Latest check hasn't cleared yet. Give it a week and he'll have flopped again.
