Baffled (and engaged) by Johnson's (and others') use of some PR persons shtick to wrap themselves in an aura of Churchillian steadfastness as they funnel billions more to the money-laundering operation known as Ukraine.
For example, Churchill's evacuation from Dunkirk was to repatriate British troops so that they could defend their homeland from the Wehrmacht.
Johnson et als. are instead conducting the equivalent of transporting masses of Nazi operatives from Dunkirk into Great Britain.
It would be more accurate if Johnson et als. described themselves as channeling Benedict Arnold.
Charlie's interview with Rep Massie spells it out clearly for me. This takes me down a familiar road that Johnson and so many other Republicans have led me to believe and always leaving me with the same question; how have they become compromised? You seemingly now decide to knowingly ignore your constituents and risk your political future? For what rewards or fear have you been persuaded with to react like this?
An amendment numbered 6 printed in House Report 118-456 to modify the definition of electronic communication service provider under section 702, sponsored by Rep Michael R. Turner-R/OH was agreed to by recorded vote: 236 - 186 (Roll no. 118). Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, has circulated a warning that the provision could be used to conscript someone with access to a journalist’s laptop to extract communications between that journalist and a hypothetical foreign source who was targeted for intelligence. Also, Elizabeth Goitein of the Brennan Center Tweeted that this law could be defined to cover “any company or individual that provides ANY service whatsoever. “They (IC) asked for pretty much everything and got pretty much everything. The way that definition is written, that could apply to anyone who could access those [electronic communications],” said one Hill staffer. “That includes the cable guy, it includes a plumber or an electrician, anyone who could physically access a wire, a cable box WiFi, or a phone or a computer.”
Senator Graham on the foreign aid package: "“We have to deal with what’s left for us to take care of in the world.”
McConnell: “I think we’ve turned the corner on the isolationist movement,” he declared, at another point adding, “I won’t say it’s gone away, but we certainly prevailed.”
My feeling is Speaker Johnson has been compromised through any mean necessary: bribery, extortion, family threats . . . Most of the members of Congress are.
