The $40 billion UniParty aid package for Ukraine pass the senate this afternoon in a vote of 86-11 (vote tally below).
The Biden administration had originally requested $33 billion, but congress did not feel he was spending enough. The House added an additional $7 billion and passed the $40 billion legislation last week. Today the Senate voted 86-11 to approve the package which is targeted to last 5 months and includes U.S. taxpayers funding the salaries and pension benefits for officials in the Ukraine government.
11 republican senators voted against the massive money laundering operation. They were Senators Blackburn (R-TN), Boozman (R-AR), Braun (R-IN), Crapo (R-ID), Hagerty (R-TN), Hawley (R-MO), Lee (R-UT), Lummis (R-WY), Marshall (R-KS), Paul (R-KY), Tuberville (R-AL).
Goes toward pensions and salaries!!??!???!? This is ludicrous!!!!!!! What about all the pensions and salaries lost by those Americans who refused to bow down to the altar of the power hungry jab freedom killers and refused the inoculation???!!!! Those Americans whose entire career was obliterated with an unconstitutional edict???!!!!
In reading comments here I’m kinda awestruck and baffled by the sudden disbelief that commenters are experiencing.
Most of the senators vote like this all of the time. Yet many readers seem surprised. That “Senator X” voted for this.
Honestly the ONLY difference here from any other day in the life of the Republican party is… Someone’s pointing it out to you.
I care very little about what Democrats do, but that is what everyone wants to jeer at… We should instead be noticing what REPUBLICANS are and are NOT doing.
Ta-da… RINO is just a synonym, the Republican party is the party of social political democracy.
Re: Idaho Senator Crapo–the only reason he voted against the money launder package is be cause, tho he won the primary this past tuesday, he has an independent MAGA challenger in november: Scott Cleveland.
Crapo’s fight to keep his seat is not over–the hard part has just begun….
I scanned the list hoping to no avail to see Rick Scott’s name. Certainly didn’t expect Rubio. We gotta do something about that down here. From the way the governor’s office is ran and the state legislature, both senators would act far differently if they were put there by the legislature instead of through corrupt elections. Replacing them wouldn’t even be an issue I need concern myself with as it should be. The system that has so highly favored incumbents throughout the years is crumbling however. Political earthquakes are rare but, the tectonic tension is being ratcheted up and up for a big one. They best beware.
Cotton. Kennedy. Cruz. Rubio. So disappointing. Generally good guys. But now we know they are definitely not America First. They are Uniparty first.
Globalist…period.
Both of my AK senators suck
I am sick.
A list of who to vote out!
All those Repubs need to be kicked out. Rubio and Scott are in on the take. The money laundering in Ukraine will be busy with that money.
Not one recess appointment in 4 years.
There aren’t any GOOD Republicans!
So Hawley voted against, but yesterday he was giving the “War Hawks” a clinic on how to DEFEND our involvement in Ukraine. He obviously cast a token vote against because he’s running for President.
The Republican Party is dead has been for a long time now
Yup I see my 2 snakes on the list, Rubio and Scott. I’ll be writing and calling the 2 phonies (again) for the good it will do.
The people are going to remember this treachery. This $40 billion is going to be on the wrongs-that-cannot-be-suffered list, right next to the surrender of Afghanistan.
“the package which is targeted to last 5 months”
Russia Looking Forward To Picking Up $40 Billion In New Equipment After US Abandons Ukraine
Pentagon spokesperson Carl Pell responded to Russian enthusiasm by saying,
“The US has no intention of abandoning the $100 billion, I mean $40 billion, of equipment for the Ukrainian military.
And when I said $100 billion earlier that was purely an accident and certainly not an indication that we plan to ask for an additional $60 billion after we lose this $40 billion. Next question?”
“This package is expected to last 5 months.”
Vlad, can you wrap this thing up by, say, July 1?

“McConnell Won’t Rule Out More Ukraine Aid”
Earlier today there was a discussion about China looking at Taiwan and licking their lips
McConnell: “The best disincentive is that WE MUST DEFEAT RUSSIA IN UKRAINE”
Get that?
“WE” must defeat Russia
How can these crooks face GoP voters as they steal from the voters, voters children/grandchildren down the generations? Democrats and the left generally occupy a fantasy universe so you expect their supporters to be as dumb as a hammer as they get robbed. How can sensible small c conservative electorates across the west be so stupid as to believe in the MSM Narrative engineers and then vote NeoCon/GoP while watching their votes get diluted by migrants and stolen by the left? Democracy and honour are dead, corruption and lies rule. Time for people to wake up, maybe future Gas prices explained by a demented, corrupt gibbering fool will do the trick?
Eliminate the entire House of Representative, the Senate in it’s entirety and the White House. We need to pull it all down, destroy and start over at the county and state level. We don’t need a federal government.
The only way to do that is outright civil war. I don’t think the Right will do it.
Its all been set up by the council of love that $$$churches anyone opposing Urasskane is a Russian commie spy
anyone refusing aid to the fake woman kissing crosses is going to be lambasted–the vatipedocan is on the take and they are getting theyoung infants and boys to do the inservice and count the dimes
Only a handful of senators who vote for the good of the Nation. The others or either on the take, or in their Washington, DC bubble.
They need something to wake them out of their stupor. A slap in the face, a kick in the behind ??? Or will it just take the total collapse for them to understand their error(s)?
CONGRESS : STOP SPENDING MONEY WE DON’T HAVE ! STOP. PLEASE JUST STOP.
Kennedy of LA. WTF ???
I know. Saddens me most.
And here I was, awaiting his usually pithy rebuke of all the other Repubes… I’m sorry Senator John Kennedy – You’re no JFK…
Is Trump going to endorse any that voted for this steaming pile of Quisling ?
Probably. If they kiss his ring and have a good chance of winning in the first place.
How much more are we willing to take is the question. They are pushing us to the edge.
Amazing how many war mongers are in congress. They don’t represent the sentiments of their constituents. My repub Senator Daines has been such a posturing buffoon on this issue and major disappointment.
A little off topic; Today I was shopping for cement blocks on the garden side of a Lowes. A middle aged lady with purple hair and a bright purple coat walked by from the street, looked at stuff, went to the front of the store and came promtly back with one of those plant carts. She placed a couple sacks of potting soil on it and slowly pushed off down a side street. I thought she must have paid but seemed real quick. I went in shopped for half an hour, paid for the blocks I needed and drove back to the side of the store to load them. Well well, here was that lady again loading up another couple sacks and strolling off down the street. I took her picture (from behind) and reported her to the courtesy desk. They didn’t seem to care all that much. A small ripoff I thought, I did my part and left.
I get home and the first thing I read is this news of how Congress ripped us off bigly today … and they don’t seem to care what they do to us. I can’t express in words how angry this makes me.
Vladimir Putin inherited a ransacked and bewildered country, with a poor and demoralized people. And he started to do what was possible – a slow and gradual restoration. These efforts were not noticed, nor appreciated, immediately. In any case, one is hard pressed to find examples in history when steps by one country to restore its strength were met favorably by other governments.

Whatever, the feds are a lost cause. Forget Trump 2.0 too.
We need Federalism 1.0 that strangles every single squirming worm in every GOP state.
Good job Senator Lummis. Hageman is coming soon to replace Cheney in the House and hopefully stick to her word like you.
I had hope that Ron Johnson from Wisconsin was for the the people, now not so much.
Crooked bastards! All should be ashamed of themselves!
aMERICA FIRST YOU ASSES!
And, of course, Lyin’ Ted Cruz voted Yea. Duplicitous, weasel b*stard that he is.
I keep telling my fellow Texas conservatives this:
NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WHATSOEVER VOTE FOR ANY INCUMBENT SENATOR OR REPRESENTATIVE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS ! ! !
They never listen . . .
The stated purpose of this war is to destroy Russia as a nation.
Why? The USA wants to grab their resources.
Secondarily, without Russia, China would be more vulnerable.
I wonder what happens when you give someone more weapons than they can use? Hmmm
I have been telling my wife that I can’t wait until November for the midterms. After viewing this list, I’m wondering if we are going to have a country left to save.
Maybe if I cut my penis off, change my pronoun and lather up with some shoe polish, I just might be able to procure a job with the regime……………I mean government.
Who knows?
Convention Of States anyone??
I guess I’ll be voting out both SC senators first chance I get
Someone please NUKE DC
Cruz is a slimeball
