Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will arrive on Capitol Hill to a darker mood than when he swooped in last winter for a hero’s welcome, as the Russian invasion is grinding into a third year and U.S. funding hangs in balance.

Zelenskyy’s visit Tuesday comes as President Joe Biden’s request for an additional $110 billion U.S. aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other national security needs is at serious risk of collapse in Congress. Republicans are insisting on strict U.S.-Mexico border security changes that Democrats decry as draconian in exchange for the overseas aid.

“It is maddening,” said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a close ally of Biden, of the stalemate. “A very bad message to the world, to the Ukrainian people.”

      Yes you selfish entitled brat, you should have done something it is your responsibility to do whenever you make a positive claim instead of expecting everyone else to do work for you.

      You don’t know a damn thing about debate or even talking to anyone, and you need to sit down and shut up.

        It’s not my responsibility to teach you. I don’t get paid for that.

        This is a chat board not a debate. If you have a question, I usually am happy to answer. But, you didn’t have a question, you had a demand. You didn’t check, you insinuated I was lying. Then after I tire of you,as I really am now, and give you the answer you have the balls to berate me. Now go away like the little boy you are.
