Unfortunately I didn’t see the President’s team opening statements today. I had planned to watch it but thought it would start at one pm as has been the case up until now. However, from what I have seen and heard since, it is pretty much what I expected.
Now the reason for this rant is the utter hypocrisy of the House managers. Remember that they all spent copious amounts of time telling us that Trump’s delay in sending military aid to Ukraine was a national security issue that imperiled not only Ukrainian security but our own security because apparently after Russia invaded and conquered Ukraine they were going to invade the US. On its face this is absurd since, contrary to the Obama Administration, Trump had already supplied lethal aid to Ukraine in the form of anti-tank missiles among other things.
Here’s the thing I learned today. Four of the six Dem managers either voted against providing lethal aid to Ukraine or abstained from voting on the aid. Most notably, Jerry, the bowling ball, Nadler voted twice to deny lethal aid to Ukraine. This the height of hypocrisy since this rotund hypocrite spent a lot of his time before the senate claiming that Trump’s 55 day delay was treasonous. Shut up you idiot!
