(#5553) This could be the week where Ukraine aid passes out of the House

      I am still skeptical and will not lend my credulity to any of it. However, the timing seems like a possibility with the attack by Iran on Israel. The inept republicans in the House and even possibly the ridiculous criminal trump may be about to temper their anti democracy rhetoric long enough for the aid bill to find its way beyond the hold in the House by republicans. I have written about this before and have come up empty in my intuitive analysis. I had always assumed that after some gamesmanship that republicans would do the correct thing and be somewhat honorable.
     Yet I have been proven wrong! The republican party is not about being honorable they are about being greedy and selfish. They have found a consistency in their drive to control and acquire in unlimited terms. So never again will I make the mistake of supposing that republicans are for all instead of just being for themselves. That being said, there are other forces at play that are as strong or stronger than republican greed and selfishness. Their very survival is now a consideration in a world where they have to exist. So the idea that war all around them might make their greed and selfishness difficult to attain may well be the wedge needed to get them to move on the foreign aid.
     Today will be the signal if it is to be. A bill or more will need to be voted on and must be ready for that process to begin. There is no excuse not to have ready some package or package of bills relative to the aid. The republican party in the House has been stalling the aid bill already voted on in the Senate for many months and can have no reason not to be prepared to legislate. For me it has never been about legislating, it has been about the republicans doing what trump wants them to do and that would be to allow putin to take Ukraine. However the problem with that is some in the republican party are not for putin and are still fighting for Ukraine and other foreign aid desperately needed to keep democracy alive.
