Taxpayer Expense After Attacking Trump, Vance

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 9/24/2024 4:28:46 AM

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy flew into a key U.S. swing state this week on a taxpayer-funded aircraft after publicly criticizing former President Donald Trump and Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. Zelenskyy touched down in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Sunday in a U.S. Air Force C-17A aircraft and toured a local munitions factory that has been producing armaments for Ukraine amid the country’s ongoing war against Russia. During his visit, Zelenskyy met with high-level Democratic Pennsylvania officials such as Gov. Josh Shapiro, Sen. Bob Casey and Rep. Matt Cartwright and expressed his gratitude “for their support.”

Just like with Israel I dont care who wins this one but resent paying for it. His corrupt little country can rot for all I care. Now we can be pretty sure when Trump wins he will get all the help he deserves...none.

The President of Ukraine coming to the US to campaign for Biden in a swing state? How is this not foreign election interference?

Of course this is election interference. And a C/17 is a fuel burning beast to be flying this clown around in, and how can they justify giving this clown a tour of a munitions factory. When are the tours open so I can take one. probably classified for an American.

Ukraine is a senseless money pit. They have been in a stalemate with Russia for over a year. I agree with Vance's peace proposal. Cut your losses now, each side keeps what they have, and the war ends. Zelensky is just afraid of losing his free money gravy train from the US and other countries. How will he govern without a war to keep him popular?

Zelenskyy is desperately hoping Harris wins. Because he is as dirty as the Biden family having stolen millions from our support to line his own pocket. If Trump wins I would not be surprised if we take it back.

The little comedian is going to be very disappointed when Trump wins but I'm sure his Plan B is to disappear with his secret bank accounts to the Riviera or some other luxurious lifestyle. Flying him here on an Air Force plane is abuse of American taxpayer funds but then hauling the Bidens and Harris around for four years is the same thing.

Can you imagine the leftist and progressive Democrat response if a Republican President had authorized a foreign politician to ride around on a USAF aircraft and inject himself into a critical swing State and make partisan comments that could well influence the upcoming election. Where are the wimpy Republicans on that?

Students at the University of Notre Dame appear more willing to support former President Donald Trump according to a shocking new poll. The Irish Rover surveyed 705 likely student voters between September 15 and September 18 soliciting their choice for president. The poll showed that 47.6 percent of students favored Trump for president while 45.9 percent favored Kamala Harris. The results shows that 5.5 percent of students chose a candidate whose name was not included in the poll and only four votes for Green Party's Jill Stein and two votes for Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver.

"Zero Dark Thirty" was a pretty solid movie. I liked it because the producers and director didn’t sugarcoat the way that CIA operatives treated terrorists. Terrorists deserved their fate. The composite protagonist “Maya” was a CIA analyst who worked tirelessly to bring justice down on Osama Bin Laden — AKA a bullet to the brain. After Maya had fingered where Bin Laden was, she met with Leon Panetta, the then-head of the CIA. Panetta was portrayed by James Gandolfini. I don’t object to artistic license when actors portray real people, but Gandolfini was a big man: 6’1” and intimidating. He looked intimidating just standing still. Panetta,

Let’s skip ahead to after the election. No matter who wins, the next president will declare that they have a “mandate” to do something. And they will be wrong. The whole canard that a newly elected president is for some reason entitled to have their way is an invention. The word “mandate” doesn’t appear in the Constitution or the Federalist Papers. The myth can be traced to Andrew Jackson. (Snip) [T]he core problem with mandate-mania is this: Presidential electoral majorities never speak with one voice in favor of a policy platform.
