A moment of Matt Gaetz schadenfreude on Ukraine aid - link

Just spoke with Matt Gaetz, who just got off the phone with Speaker Johnson. Gaetz said he now anticipates that Ukraine aid will pass — an outcome he has long sought to avoid. He expressed dismay given his influential role in delaying aid thus far. “This was abject surrender."

Tough day for Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene! While I'd prefer to watch them both slowly descend into quicksand, this will do for now!

If it's a clean bill, meaning everything in the senate package just broken out into pieces, then fine.

But if it's a pile of kaka made to look like aid, that's no help at all.
