I want someone to explain to me how much better this is than mean tweets and pushy attitude

from the Bad Orange Man.  I give you the Adults In The Room(as we're told):
The White House has been quietly urging lawmakers in both parties to sell the war efforts abroad as a potential economic boom at home.

Aides have been distributing talking points to Democrats and Republicans who have been supportive of continued efforts to fund Ukraine’s resistance to make the case that doing so is good for American jobs, according to five White House aides and lawmakers familiar with the effort and granted anonymity to speak freely.

And the bastards are also still trying to deflect blame for energy costs and our ruinous inflation:
But White House aides have also argued that the war was hitting Americans in their wallets. They blamed the conflict for surging costs, particularly gas prices — though its “Putin’s price hike” moniker didn’t catch on — and warned that economic woes would grow if Ukraine fell.

So: they still insist 'there's no real evidence Iran is involved', even as Iranian proxies attack US troops and Israel, they seem to be trying to push us into direct involvement, but "Hey, it'll be good for jobs!"

A stretch of opinion deleted due to rise in blood pressure.

Also: when I posted about this on Fecesbook, when I tried to post the link there was an immediate "You can't do this because something about it violates our community standards.  You can tell us if you think that's not right."  With, as usual, no way to tell them they're full of shit.  Happily it accepted the Politico link (in the original story).
