White House downplays CNN poll showing majority of Americans oppose more US aid for Ukraine | CNN Politics

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.”

    Was the court striking down those amendments unconstitutional? I’m under the impression that’s a power that’s granted to them and not really able to find proof that it was an illegal move. Can I get a cite for that? I’m seeing political opponents of the move saying that, but not any unbiased sources. This article from the Kyiv Post mentions a member of an opposition party’s opinion, but that’s it.

    EDIT Although reading the Venice Commission, I’m getting the impression Ukraine’s constitutional court is a clown show. Maybe it was illegal, maybe not, who knows! It seems the Court’s authority isn’t clearly defined. As someone from America, that sure fucking sounds familiar!
