    Look, I’m anti-facists, pro Ukraine, all the rest.

    But damn it do look like Biden could probably guess what conditioner Zelensky is using from that pic [its the almond scented head and shoulders nice].

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Congress appears no closer to a deal tying immigration and border policy changes to the emergency aid package that will provide funding for Ukraine and Israel before lawmakers leave town for the holidays.

    The meeting is meant to “underscore the United States’ unshakeable commitment to supporting the people of Ukraine as they defend themselves against Russia’s brutal invasion,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.

    Zelensky will focus on “securing unity among the US, Europe, and the rest of the world” on their support of Ukraine’s defense against Russia and “strengthening the international order based on rules and respect for the sovereignty of nations,” the statement read.

    If Congress leaves town for the holidays without reaching a deal, the White House will have to make tough choices about supplying allies such as Ukraine at the potential expense of US military readiness.

    Top Biden administration officials have been sounding the alarm for weeks about funding for Ukraine running dry and the potential consequences.

    The president said he was willing to make “significant compromises on the border,” conceding the country’s immigration system is “broken,” but added Ukraine’s needs are too critical to wait.

      I wouldn’t count on it. Schumer and McConnell have invited him to an all Senators meeting in the Capital. They wouldn’t do that if they planned to deny him.

    It is funny because genocide joe could easily pass a massive army deal to Isreal, then Ukraine can get what they want from Isreal afterwards. But it seems that, Isreal would not let go of the shit they get…

    Of course he’ll invite congressional leaders. I wonder if he’ll get the Lincoln bedroom?
