The House of Representatives were concerned Joe Biden was not spending enough on the Ukraine laundry operation, so they took his $33 billion request and added another $7 billion making the Ukraine support package $40 billion.
Yes, you read that correctly… ‘Unbelievable’ is an understatement. I mean seriously, does anyone in Washington DC even talk to their constituents any longer?
The DHS Customs and Border Patrol budget for our border security operations is approximately $4 billion, the Southern border is in crisis. Meanwhile Biden and Pelosi send over $55 billion to Ukraine?
WASHINGTON, May 9 (Reuters) – U.S. congressional Democrats agreed to rush $39.8 billion in additional aid for Ukraine, two sources familiar with the proposal said on Monday, easing fears a delayed vote could interrupt the flow of U.S. weapons to the Kyiv government.
The House of Representatives could pass the plan, which exceeds President Joe Biden’s request last month for $33 billion, as soon as Tuesday, and Senate leaders said they were also prepared to move quickly.
A proposal for additional COVID-19-related funding, which some Democrats had wanted to combine with the emergency Ukraine funding, will now be considered separately.
Biden on April 28 asked Congress for $33 billion to support Ukraine, including more than $20 billion in military assistance. That proposal was a dramatic escalation of U.S. funding for the war with Russia. The new proposal includes an additional $3.4 billion for military aid and $3.4 billion in humanitarian aid, the sources said. (read more)
Watch Democrat funds go up and up Ukraine laundromat is opened, they do it openly bunch of thieves
Zelensky has hit the money tree lottery with this scam and the power hungry oligarch wannabes in our government.
sounds like a rerun movie of the COVID scam bailout of democrat cities.
These people are disgusting.
Ms. Lyndsay calling for more money to NATO and regime change in Russia. In his fantasy Russia is losing the war or maybe he knows the truth but it doesn’t support the narrative he wants to spin.
In any case, he is delusional about having a no fly zone in Ukraine. He’s a filthy war monger. Why is he still in the senate?
They are killing alot of birds with Ukraine crisis.
Besides money laundering, and blackmail payments, “the needs of the dictatorship determine the nature of its foreign policy.” (In our case the globalist dictators need money)
Destroying a Constitutional Republic is not easy. Especially one where the idea of freedom and Judeo-Christian values refuse to totally surrender.
The ruling clique of power mad globalists must create maximum tension. War provides the perfect atmosphere for them. “It justifies the hard hand of the ruler.” A dictatorship “thrives on an atmospgere of violence…
Relaxation is fatal to a dictatorship.”
“A dictatorship must have enemies. If they are at hand it inflates them”(Ultra MAGA), “if they are absent, it creates them to have an excuse for the terror, hardship and tension…the enemy is[defined as] any resistance to its object of desire.” (In our case,world domination)
These quotes are from a NY Post journalist written in 1952 after being stationed in Moscow and reporting on Stalin. –Louis Fischer
if “National Security” created the issue in Ukraine like ISIS in the middle east – then the FEDERAL SENATORS feel they have an obligation to represent the STATE not their State.
whenever the military industrial complex or the likud mossad whistle, the u.s. congress comes. when they both whistle, the u.s. congress hurts itself hurrying.
Somebodies must be REAL scared of what will be revealed when Russia finishes crushing Ukraine. All the bribes, kickbacks to congress, bio-labs, human and drug trafficking, etc., will come to light.
No amount of funny fiat money will change that outcome.
Anybody with a heartbeat already knows what has been going on in Ukraine. Fix the border, fix inflation, etc. It’s our money – give it to US! I’m so fing tired of these aholes.
your dollar must be devalued at the right exact amount to force you under the Global Union, with the least gun grabbing of citizens and acting
period.
The Demcommies are going for broke. They know they will have to steal many elections in November just in order to keep themselves a viable Party. They are pulling out every worn out scheme they have ever used and will try to make the election about anything except Obama’s third term in the White House. We have to kill them in November, or we will never get to even try to defeat them again. Even if we win by huge margins, we will still have to figure out how to take our own Government back from the DC Bureaucrat mob.
How long before Captured shipments of American arms are nothing more then scrap metal ?
Sadly we’re way past the point of No Return. Yet people still worry about whether they have the latest iPhone or if they can order a new electric car or have the latest designer jeans.
For perspective, 40 billion is more than half of what the Russians spend on their entire military budget.
We spend so much on ours so we can GIVE it away to theirs. See how that works?
yep – we dont spend 778 b on US military.
Justin and son, Jill Biden, Bono et al all flew to Ukraine to kiss Zelinsky’s ring as though it were a papal audience. What a safe war zone and where are all these planes landing? It’s an interesting world for sure.
Oh, heck, they even showed the Kiev populace laying flowers at the eternal flame yesterday in downtown. War? What war?
Russia doesn’t need to take Kiev. They will divide the country in half and making what will remain a failed state–bankrupt, de-nazified, no military, no effective government, and entirely dependent on the west. Once Odessa is taken by Russia, the war is over. And so is Ukraine as a threat to Russia.
Cole, Russia doesn’t need to “divide the country in half.” They’re not out to overthrow the clown-government that is there. Putin stated exactly what the objectives were when the limited operation began, and their every move since then has been entirely consistent with that.
is Odessa part of it? for 2014?
There weren’t any truckers there so Justin didn’t have to hide with Covid symptoms.
Freedom fighter Ze is just the bagman.
I’m sure the MSM will be reporting Ze’s tweet of an Azov guy with Nazi insignias on his uniform.
It’s down right evil, these poor guys being urged and sent to fight while the country is plundered.
In 2014, the IMF provided loans to Ukraine and then their gold disappeared.
Grahamnesty who is also pictured with these Azov brigade guys along with McCain several years back says this week there’s no off ramp for Putin. It appears he wants an escalation.
Ze will be exiled in his million dollar flat in London with his bags of cash if they refuse to negotiate with Russia, running Ukraine in absentia.
As I often prattle on about: anarchism is now mainstream Democrat dogma.
Bankrupting the country may well be considered a good thing by Democrat Congressmen.
That’s a short jump from the long-standing leftist dogma that the world would be a better place if most of America’s wealth migrated to poor countries. Leftists long called that equality.
If all were equally rich or poor, there would be no war, no crime, no poverty, not even racism. That panacea, I’m sure, remains fixed in the leftist mind.
And now appears a most cooperative and corrupt government – Ukraine – prepared to pay the standard money laundering fee back to these Democrat Congressmen. The circle is complete.
the constituents can’t do shit to them. it doesn’t matter anymore. their endpoint is us destroying our country in anger. its a win win for Obama Fundamental Changer Crew.
Ohhhh Look! They have Mitch reaching for OUR wallet again. 😡 😡 😡
“I mean seriously, does anyone in Washington DC even talk to their constituents any longer?”
No. They don’t have to. Ubiquitous, endless voter fraud means never having to say you’re sorry. Several members of Congress have tenures rivaling that of royalty.
Our representative government is, for all intents and purposes, an oligarchy. Our “public servants” are surrounded by armed guards and fences, chauffeured from one 5 star grift-fest to the next, utterly inaccessible to the public they supposedly serve. If any member of the proletariat foolishly decides he’s owed an explanation personally by one of them, he will be visited by the FBI, if not arrested outright.
DC Inc has consolidated imperial power over decades. Paper ballots and term limits, or more of the same.
How is it possible that there are American citizens who still haven’t figured out that the Biden administration hates us? Seriously, if you were running this country and you wanted to punish the citizens, what would you do differently than they are doing right now?
More money to be laundered.
This is now America’s War with much bragging and taunting The Bear – how we helped killing of Russian generals and how US intelligence played an indispensable role in sinking of Moskva. Why would US intelligence do this? How does this read to Putin as it would seem Ukraine’s military successes and achievements from their own local forces aren’t what they are made out to be – that we are now a UKRAINE-U.S.-LED ALLIANCE? To cement that, Pelosi made the public declaration in Kyiv “”America stands with Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine until victory is won.”
Jason Crow of Colorado, echoed Pelosi in Poland: “The United States of America is in this to win.”
Lloyd Austin, who came out of Kyiv and declared the U.S. strategic goals in Ukraine’s war:
“We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kind of things it has done in invading Ukraine.”
Beyond ‘helping” Ukraine, making this America’s war.
Yes, from American “leaders” and solely Pelosi’s “Democratic Party’s”cause. The Democratic Party’s objectives in this war are not the same as Ukraine’s.
Nobody asked me if I wanted to keep up Ukraine. Nobody asked me if I wanted my son’s future mortgaged solely to launder money through a “war” created by the deep state’s meddling (Maidan).
Is this a picture from the US Congress? Looks like brunch at the old folks home to me.
looks like the covid lockdowns have taken their toll on the patience and trust of the long suffering u.s. citizenry. get this: nearly ten percent more of likely u.s. voters would prefer biden resign than putin. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1606839/Shock-poll-Ukraine-Zelensky-Biden-lose-war-Russia-Putin-Democracy-Institute-news
a majority (closer) are ok with russia winning in ukraine if it will end the sanctions. guess having the mockingbird state media, and the social disease networks isn’t the omnipotent tool it once was. “come you masters of war . . . i just want you to know i can see through your masks.”
I wonder how much of that money the Democrats are expecting to get back in kickbacks?
Well, Bluto, we know that the Big Guy gets 10%. I’d laugh, but it’s too serious for that.
Fox Sports and Tom Brady just announced that after Brady retires, whenever that is, he will be paid $375 million to work at Fox Sports. He originally announced his retirement, now he will play on, at age 45, for Tampa Bay this season.
My point? The enormous redistribution of the wealth of America continues, away from the middle class, by any means, for any excuse.
Tom Brady has almost no experience in sports broadcasting or commenting, but he will be paid far more than almost all working sports journalists. And why? Brady may prove to be a huge disappointment – Joe Montana was.
The drive towards a neo-feudalist America, a country of a few very rich and many poor, has now become frenetic.
Shipping America’s wealth to Ukraine (where it’s shipped back to America’s rich, or America’s corrupt politicians) has approached the freneticism of people on a holy mission, who feel they’re almost there.
Middle class, in America, is now a synonym for Republican. And when the middle class is effectively gone, the new feudalism, properly the return to feudalism will be complete. And the greatest mistake in human history, the American Revolution, will have been reversed. This is what the leftist who lives next door to you believes.
Yeah, play sportsball and become a millionaire 100 times over. Unbelievable. What has Brady done for the future of humanity? He solves no problems for others, creates nothing, provides no needed services. The left wants to call us producers useless eaters? Brady’s the poster boy useless eater.
Congressional Democrats Say Biden Not Spending Enough on Ukraine, They Are Not Getting Enough Government Money To Their Pockets In Kickbacks and Bribes, Boost Package to $40 Billion With Vote Likely Tomorrow
The President of Mexico had a good point. He said if you would send the 33 billion to central America instead of Ukraine it would do a lot to curb the migrants flooding your border.
Kiev has so far lost 30 drones, 10 helicopters, four jets, three ships, and upwards of 50 troops in failed attempts to take Snake Island, the Russian Ministry of Defense has revealed. Urged on by British advisers, President Volodymyr Zelensky personally ordered the attack and wanted to see a victory by May 9, media reported citing security sources.
Another Bayraktar TB-2 strike drone, a Turkish import, was shot down over the island on Tuesday, said Major General Igor Konashenkov, the spokesman for the Russian military. That makes nine Bayraktars destroyed over Snake Island since Saturday, he pointed out.
Russian troops noticed on Tuesday three more bodies of Ukrainian attackers that washed up on the beach, Konashenkov added, for a total of 27 special forces and nationalist battalion personnel that perished on the island itself.
During Monday’s briefing about the fighting on the island, Konashenkov said that Ukrainian forces had lost three Su-24 bombers, one Su-27 fighter, four helicopters and three Centaur-class assault ships. On Tuesday, he clarified that three Mi-8 troop carriers and one Mi-24 attack helicopter were shot down on Saturday, while six more were later destroyed on the ground near Odessa, for a total of ten.
“This adventure has turned out to be a disaster for Ukraine,” Konashenkov said, adding that the “thoughtless PR action of the Kiev regime to take Snake Island by Victory Day” resulted in the “meaningless deaths” of more than 50 elite Ukrainian troops, as well as pilots and crew of the destroyed aircraft and vessels.
This an outrageously blatant raid of the U.S. Treasury of taxpayer dollars being stolen away to one of the most corrupt countries on earth into a money laundering black hole never to be seen again, except possibly in some of the foreign investment accounts of all those politicians in Congress who voted for this albatross. Any Republican Senator or House member that votes in favor of this egregious theft must be run out of office. This money will probably be used as payoffs to various government officials and financial oligarchs to set up support for their globalist one world government. This is massive theft at a time when our country is being destroyed economically from within. This is a treasonous action.
Meanwhile our own country doesn’t have enough baby formula, dozens of food warehouses have mysteriously burned down, mobs are threatening conservative Supreme Court Justices (and churches) while peaceful protesters from J6 are still in jail, inflation is sky-high, gas is equally sky-high, crime is way up, Biden isn’t in charge of his own brain and we don’t know who really is in charge, nuclear war is a real possibility, there’s an army of invaders waiting to cross our non-existent border, Biden is bankrupting our country, and Leftists are threatening another “summer of love” if they don’t get their way!
How much of that money flows right back into the bank accounts of Pelosi, Schumer, Graham, Biden, etc.? Inquiring minds want to know.
Back in 1980 Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca had to low-crawl thru the mud for weeks to get a $2 billion LOAN (not a handout) to tide his company over. The current crowd hands Ukraine $40 billion with hardly a debate. I hired my representatives (voted for) to be stingy. Let the NGO’s do the humanitarian work.
