Paul makes a transparently stupid claim tonight that the GOP, in general, and Tangerine in particular — has done as much for Ukraine as the Democrats have.
He reaches back to pre-2012 to make his case (blaming Mr. Obama, falsely), such as it is. Then he ignores the last three years. AND THEN… he soft-pedals Trump’s obvious (and felonious) corruption in unlawfully conditioning the delivery of already Congressionally approved aid, upon seeking “dirt” on the son of Mr. Biden… as depicted at right.
Not exactly “the same as…” — as he would ask us to believe. [He goes on to say that Speaker Johnson risked much to get this done. DAMN — what a dumb lie: MTG was the sole voice to dump him, and if by “risking much”, Paul means he… got Democratic help to pass it… that bipartisanship is what we USED to expect from our Congress, in times of war. Jeebus, Paul!]
And certainly, for almost a year now, the MAGA / GOP wing has willfully thwarted an aid package to Ukraine, for the sole reason that it did not want Mr. Biden to get “a win”.
Again — Paul is looking through the telescope… “from the fat end” (moron!), if he truly believes his own drivel.
Confidential Nota Bene, to Paul: WE DON’T.
And he concludes tonight by suggesting that had Tangerine won in 2020, he isn’t so sure Putin would have invaded Ukraine, at all. He is likely correct, but in an ironic fashion, solely.
We cannot know for certain — but (if we are to entertain Paul’s pure conjecture…) it is just as highly likely that Trump would have given Putin “sub-silencio” permission — to just take Ukraine, and Trump (as he did repeatedly) would blunt NATO’s objections thereto, by arguing that the member nations hadn’t paid their share.
So Trump, based on clear past observations (well documented over six long years, now), would have likely actively aided Putin — in getting something that is NOT his — for the right payoff, of course — from Russia, to Trump, personally. Sheesh, Paul.
Out.
