Biden's tenure has been pretty disastrous so far so it doesn't really matter what he says either
It was an awful choice for the 'leader of the free world'. Let's hope the next two candidates are better.

House passes resolution backing Ukraine; Three Republicans vote ‘no’
The House passed a resolution to declare support for Ukraine, with only three Republicans voting against the measure
thehill.com
I tried to figure out who was "not voting" but the Congressional Record won't be updated until sometime after adjournment.
Gosar is Gosar, so no surprise there. Massie has been super-consistent about being a Rand Paul-style libertarian in his foreign policy voting record over the last ten years, so he gets a pass on this one. He's always voting this down, irrespective of the politics. He's also the nimrod that brought us the assault rifle Christmas card.
Rosendale from Montana is interesting - he's fighting to prevent us to send money to Ukraine unless we first "build the wall" or otherwise send funds to secure the border with Mexico, with Gosar, Gaetz and others as co-sponsors.
What's even more interesting is that most of their fellow dyed-in-the-wool Trumpites refused to stick their necks out on a non-binding resolution, and voted in favor.
Nobody (not even Paul) dared vote against the corresponding resolution in the Senate. Fringe politics in the House is always interesting on both sides, because it's so decidedly weird.

Ah yes the Republican party who don't fecking care about the military but yet claim they are the party of the military.
The amount of times I have tried to explain this to veterans and yet they still don't get it.
San Diego has a massive issue with homeless veterans and these same folk who won't see sense blame drugs for those homeless vets being this way.
Ironically one of them has a disabled sticker on his car for PTSD.

I wouldn't bet on it and with the country seemingly so polarised it's an uphill task for anyone.
Mind you, I'm always amazed at the low standard of US presidential candidates. For such a vast country containing so many talents, what do we get? Bush? Trump?

Lol, I guess they realized their stupidity of their actions before getting arrested in DC
Or some of their funding mysteriously dried up along with a large spike in gas prices…

That sounds very possible too. Whatever it was, I'm glad they won't be creating some disturbance in DC, given what's happening in the world we really didn't need to be witness their tantrum.
