I wonder if the FBI would be interested in a list of Us Representatives that are receiving bribes from foreign powers.

I got a list!

My thoughts exactly, these guys have been bought by Russia.

Unfortunately the FBI is not the beacon of trust either these days

Under the current leadership too? Obviously James Comey helped sway a democratic election in favor of an authoritarian sociopath, but I've not heard of any post-Comey scandals worth noting. I don't like the surveillance state the US has frustratingly subscribed too, but technically the FBI is not breaking the law by snooping on citizens (not advocating for forgiveness, just being factual).

What's disappointing is that the US Military Industrial Complex can't be bothered to outspend Russia on this, even though allllll that aid goes into their pockets.

The only people they would agree to give money to is the already wealthy.

The already-wealthy already paid them. Never mind their US corporate owners: Putin's at the top of the list.

Matt Gaetz loves Russia so much, he should be deported there.

I fully expect Trump to make a run for it when verdicts start coming down. There is no way that Trump will go to prison.

Dems should agree to this under the condition that the money that would otherwise go to support Ukraine would instead go towards one of the other social causes the Contrarian Party always complains there isn’t enough funding for, like Universal Health Care.
