In a press conference on Tuesday afternoon in the U.S. Capitol, Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was talking about priorities for the United States as lawmakers rush to pass a $1.7 trillion omnibus bill.
According to Leader McConnell — who said he was speaking for "most Republicans" — the "number one priority" for the United States is not any of the pressing domestic issues plaguing Americans as a result of President Joe Biden and his administration.
No, McConnell said that "providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the number one priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans." Really?
When Mitch McConnell says "Republicans", he is not referring to those who vote for Republican politicians. Instead, he is referring to those politicians and other members of the Party apparatus.

Meanwhile his family continues to finance their business using Communist Chinese Money as they make millions shipping Chinese products. I wonder how much money Mitch is making off the Ukraine war?

It's important, but hardly a priority.
First priority is the invasion on our Southern border.
Second is inflation and out of control government spending.
Third (or maybe first), is restoring an actual representative Republic to the USA with free and actually transparent and fair elections.
Then we can consider other invasions.

Mitch does not represent my values, and the funding of wars is constitutionally suspect…as well as being the expected follow-on to years of bad diplomacy

The # 1 priority of America is putting America and Americans first. The money laundering cesspool capitol of the planet is NOT it.

don't need to know much more. Ukraine is a vehicle for every money launderer using taxpayer funds to the benefit of globalist committee members. Maybe Putin isn't the bad guy here afterall.

It's pretty obvious that our leaders - starting with the Big Guy - are up to their necks in something nefarious going on in or passing through Ukraine. No one had ever heard of the place but then the Burisma lid gets blown off and shortly thereafer we're writing blank checks to Zelensky for "as long as it takes." As long as it takes to keep him silent. This is not coincidental. Our President and his family have been compromised.

As a priority it is well behind eliminating DST and declaring President Trump's Birthday a national holiday. Hey Mitch. How about sending the money to the USA instead of the Uks?

America can help Ukraine with one hand tied behind its back and a blindfold on. We can handle that, no problem.
But to suggest we ignore other things in the meantime? No. America can walk and chew gum simultaneously.

You do not speak for me, McConnell. Since when have you become president?? Is that what the Chinese commies have told you to prioritize when you last visited your 'charity' in China???

Not sure that it is #1, but I want Ukrainians to be able to continue to resist the invading Russians.

OUR FIRST PRIORITY is to save this country from the corrupt RINOcrat party going along with the demonrat socialist Marxist party-- Those folks seem to be the best of pals selling U.S. out!!!
Benedict Traitor McConnell to an Oath to THIS country, NOT Ukraine--
Let's all do our part to remove him from having any say in shoving our hard-earned tax dollars out the door!!! He is no patriot, but playing for the other side who loves him

Actually, it's priority #2. #1 is a commitment to destroy DJT.

Nope.
McConnell's primary responsibility is the protection of the American Citizen by means of good Laws and careful determining of budgets and regular order for each department, which will thereby provide for well-functioning commerce, business, leading to good order in the towns and cities around the country, so that The People can enjoy peace in our communities.
Above all, they need to protect OUR borders, immediately.

Given that Russia has been exposed as a third rate power, it would seem that we have bigger things to worry about. Let Europe get off their tails and deal with Putin.

Typical Democrat Mitch. What about inflation, open border crisis, high gas prices, crime, election fraud, corrupt government agencies???
