The White House on Wednesday downplayed CNN polling showing most Americans oppose Congress providing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia ahead of a reported administration request for more aid.

Mitch McConell says the quiet part out loud.

Exact full quote from CNN:

“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

    This is my last reply since I would need to flip my phone to hit the button and that’s way too much effort but this seems to have run it’s course anyways.

    Good lord, this is the most “I’m totally not mad” sentence I’ve ever seen.

    I’m pretty sure the liberal position would be that all violent protests are bad, no matter what.

    It’s not, liberals are fine with violent protests when it’s against their enemies.

    Also I don’t think a coup is when people drive a wannabe dictator out if their country though English isn’t my first language.

    Yes, that absolutely is a coup.

    And even if it is I absolutely support people exercising their right to protest and remove a leader trying to dismantle a democracy.

    So you support the January 6th riots
