If you are referring to Viktor Shokin then you know that he was replaced not because he was looking into corruption in Ukraine, but because he wasn't investigating any crimes! His removal was welcomed not only by the United States, but also the European Union, the IMF and World Bank.
Yep. And no suspension of the debt ceiling limit. Trump likely not pleased. Musk testing his own influence.
Unsurprisingly, US lawmakers also don’t want to work over the holidays.
Again, two things can often simultaneously be true. He could be corrupt and useless, and he could be a thorn in Burisma's side at the same time. I know the conventional media concensus on what happened and why. I also know that the conventional media concensus can sometimes be a big lie. The appearance of impropriety hasn't been washed away.
Trump has been acting like he wanted to avoid the political furball of being involved in the next debt ceiling negotiation by effectively pulling it into the present and giving the can a long kick. It will still happen, and when it does, I predict Democrats will - as usual - favour lifting it some more. They just don't want to do it right now, because there's no political advantage to be gained with terms expiring shortly. They know from past experience they will have media support to use it for their "Republicans' fault" orchestra. Republicans will - as usual - use it to negotiate some spending cuts (particularly the 30-odd who are the strongest fiscal hawks).
It's sad there are likely a lot of disappointed Americans (and Canadians) because they can't blame US military members not getting payed on Trump and Musk.
You mean the guy that in March, declared on Twitter that he isn’t donating money to either candidate?
Do people who don’t think it’s already their govt try to strong-arm their own reps to vote for certain things?
