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.”

    Well you are not supposed to feel insulted. Context matters. Why would you be insulted, you enjoy cuckolding, good on you, love and let love. No issues with that, we all have our fetishes and one man’s insult is another’s climax - imagine you have a degradation fetish, man /r/the_donald would be so hot. The insult wasn’t aimed at you. You didn’t feel offended. So working as intended.

    That’s the point - it’s insulting for tankies because they love strong macho Putin image whose definitely not a bottom. never, totally ever, ok, only a bit if you ask nicely with a coup.

    What is annoying on the internet is that everyone thinks it’s about them and every statement has to be minimally offensive to everyone because of this, main character syndrome. It’s not nonsensical, it’s actually giving the right wing it’s power.

    So no, I think I won’t be doing that. I’ll continue dishing out highly targeted insults and everyone else can learn that they are not meant to be offended because - as you say, there’s nothing offensive about it unless you are a right wing schmuck with a masculinity complex.

      Look, it’s just trashy 4chan+r/the_Donald talk, but ok, use it to your heart’s content if it means that much to you and holds such expressive value to you, we’re all adults here and I’ll just stop reading :) have a nice day.
