WASHINGTON, Dec 12 (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday it would be "practically impossible" for Congress to pass a supplemental funding package containing aid for Ukraine before Christmas, even if a deal were struck in coming days.
McConnell told reporters that a deal on legislation to aid Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific will not happen unless President Joe Biden is fully engaged with Senate Republicans in talks aimed at including provisions to restrict migrant crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"(It) is practically impossible - even if we reach an agreement - to craft it, get it through the Senate, get to the House, before Christmas," McConnell told reporters in the U.S. Capitol.
"There won't be a deal until Joe Biden and Republicans reach an agreement," McConnell added. "Without him, there is no deal."
The House and Senate are currently expected to leave Washington on Thursday for their year-end holiday break. The two chambers are due to reconvene during the second week of January.
"BUT THE BORDER"
Literally it's the only fucking thing they have left, they have no other talking point, nothing left to rile up their fanbase because taking away the rights of women shockingly isn't a good political agenda, they're so desperate for a win that they're willing to throw Ukraine under the bus so they can say "HEY WE WON SOMETHING". Republicans have Ukrainian's blood on their hands.
Useless. Lazy. Fucks.
I don't care about their "Holiday break" when they do next to nothing all year. Poor Republicans, they won't be able to go home to their lovely warm luxury homes and pig out on all the food they could possibly ask for as soon as they'd like, cause that's totally more of a priority than the Ukrainians freezing in trenches and being killed by the minute.
