Avast, ye scurvy dogs! Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a landlubber from Cali, hath declared on Friday that he'll be strippin' the loot meant for Ukraine out of a Pentagon bill. All 'cause Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a lass from Georgia, be blockin' the law like a true swashbuckler. McCarthy be sayin' he'll be holdin' a separate vote for the $300 million booty, arrr! "Avast!" McCarthy cried, "Tis be sailed on its own, says I!" when asked 'bout the aid for Ukraine in the...
In a move that would make any scurvy pirate proud, Speaker Kevin McCarthy has announced his plans to strip funding for Ukraine out of a Pentagon spending bill. This comes after the notorious Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her merry band of conservatives blocked the legislation from moving forward earlier this week. Arrr, me hearties!McCarthy, like a crafty pirate captain, has decided to separate the $300 million for Ukraine from the rest of the bill and hold a separate vote on it. Ahoy, matey! It seems he wants to give this funding a chance to stand on its own, away from the clutches of those pesky scallywags.
When asked about the Ukraine aid, McCarthy, with a smirk on his face, said, "It would be out and voted on by itself." Ah, what a clever plan indeed! This be like a pirate ship breaking away from the fleet, sailing on its own to search for treasure.
But why would McCarthy go to such lengths, you may ask? Well, it seems that the troublesome Rep. Greene and her crew have been causing quite the ruckus, and the Speaker is not one to back down from a fight. He's showing those landlubbers who's in charge!
So, buckle up, me hearties, for the battle over Ukraine funding is far from over. Will McCarthy's plan succeed, or will the wily Rep. Greene and her band of misfits continue to wreak havoc on the high seas of politics? Only time will tell, but one thing's for certain: this be one swashbuckling tale that ain't be over yet!
