I'd say "access man." The corrupt chump Ukrainian coup plotters gained access to American muscle by bribing these men. The coup plotters probably threw some nonsense about "democracy" into the sales pitch as well. Ideologues are easy to manipulate.

In pursuing this policy, our leadership exacerbated Cold War 2. This is a war we don't need, can't readily afford, may not be able to win, and even if we do "win" we gain nothing of value.

Esau sold his birthright for some stew when he was starving Hunter Biden sold out his country for 50K month. I wonder how much it took for the Romney associate to sell us out.

An Al Qaeda Leader Came to America as a Refugee, And Applied for Disability for Bullet Wounds

How Biden helped an Al-Qaeda leader come to the USA.

"The less restrictive screenings were one of Senator Ted Kennedy’s final immigration gifts to America. The Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act was introduced by Ted Kennedy, backed by Grover Norquist, and co-sponsored by Joe Biden, Pat Leahy, Chuck Hagel, Dick Durbin, Bob Menendez and Barack Obama."


Worthless Mother Fuckers


Introduced in Senate (06/19/2007) Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act

Ted Kennedy dead from brain cancer August 25, 2009.

Was that worthless mo affected by brain cancer, when he wrote that bill?

Wouldn't matter anyway since he was a Democrat (& probably still votes).
