Look to Marjorie Greene in the House to likely scream at the top of her lungs, when Zelenisky speaks demanding immediate alliance with Russia and destruction of Ukraine. She will wail and scream

We may be lucky and see it on TV. That mop of blonde hair, her face and fists pumping in the air, with a fist pumping demands for the destruction of Kyiv and Ukraine and immediate alliance with Putin.

Won't that be a bonny sight ? Oh, baby its just the beginning of what we will see

• Zelensky's trip to Washington — which will last just "a few short hours," per the U.S. official — comes 300 days into the invasion, as Ukraine is suffering from?massive power outages ?caused by Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure.
• Biden and Zelensky will have an "in-depth, strategic discussion" about the war,?military aid and tightening sanctions before Zelensky heads to Capitol Hill, the official said.
• Congress is poised to pass $45 billion in?additional military and economic aid to Ukraine ?this week as part of its $1.7 trillion omnibus funding bill, bringing total U.S. assistance to over $100 billion.

Between the lines:?Some members of the incoming House Republican majority have?expressed deep reservations ?about continuing to send aid to Ukraine.

• The official said the White House expected a big show of bipartisan support for Zelensky during the visit, and hoped that would generate additional "momentum" for continued assistance from the U.S. and its allies.
• Zelensky may have a chance to convince some skeptics — or at the very least GOP leadership — that U.S. aid is vital and being used responsibly.

Behind the scenes:?Biden and Zelensky discussed a potential visit during a call on Dec. 11, and the plans were confirmed on Sunday, the official said. The?news didn't start to emerge until Wednesday evening, a sign of the caution surrounding?Zelensky's first foreign trip since the war began.

• The official declined to discuss the logistics of Zelensky's travel for security reasons but said the visit would take place during Wednesday afternoon and evening.
• Zelensky’s joint address to Congress is scheduled at 7:30pm EST, according to two sources familiar with the plans, which are still subject to change.

We may be lucky and see Marjorie Greene escorted out of the chamber. If that happens, Greene will use it to claim that she was a victim of "woke politics" and use it as a rallying cry to get a replay of January 6, 2021 in 2023

We are in for something dramatic. Look to Marjorie Greene to perform and go ALL the way. And here is what will be driving Greene to do her best disruptive floor dance EVER

• Each launcher in the Patriot system can hold four missiles, and a typical battery includes up to eight launchers. The system requires dozens of soldiers to operate.
• The U.S. will also provide precision-guided bombs in the latest package,?per AP .

• According to CNN, which was?first to report ?the plan, the training will take place at a base in Germany and could take several months.
• Prior to the announcement, Moscow?warned of "consequences" ?if the U.S. provided Patriots to Ukraine.

Worth noting:?Asked if Biden would push Zelensky to seek diplomacy with Russia, the senior official said the visit was not about "pushing or prodding or poking" Zelensky, but about showing support and solidarity.
