The republican senate leadership team held a press conference today announcing their support for the priority agenda of Joe Biden and the White House.
As Leader Mitch McConnell noted at the beginning of his remarks, “we all agree, the most important thing going on in the world right now is the war in Ukraine,” and with that statement McConnell announced he and Joe Biden have agreed to advance a massive package of $40 billion to pay the salaries and retirement benefits of the Ukrainian government.
Comrades, you must put aside any stress about how to afford groceries and still fill your gas tank, there are people in the government of Ukraine who need your tax dollars more. WATCH (45 seconds):
No gas money, no grocery money, no infant formula, no voting integrity…. Meh, no problem. We’ve got Ukrainians to support.

What is victory for Ukraine/US?
How much will it cost the US to rebuild Ukraine?(assuming they win)
How much more money do they need to win? Another $40 Billion? $400 Billion? $4 Trillion? Every dollar in America?
Why is the Ukraine -Russian border important and the U.S. border in practicality non-existent?
Does any of this money actually get to the Ukrainian government or does a sizable amount get laundered back to politicians in the U.S.? Who did Mitch poll to find out what Americans think is the most important issue? I never here Ukraine mentioned while people are walking the grocery cursing or with tears in their eyes.
Full disclosure –
I copied some of this from a Zero Hedge comment.
I think it’s illuminating to see what questions people on the street are asking compared to the questions the media and politicians think are important.
The Ukraine is the Biden Junta’s laundry and killer biolab country. Zelensi is owned by Soros and the FBI. We have let our country go to Fascist thieves and I doubt there is any turning back.
There is no way UK will win this war, none! But, regardless of the outcome, America will be expected to pay for all the destruction and rebuilding needed, not Russia, not the UN, not the EU. We are the world’s patsy’s because our leaders are paid off.
And most of the money shoved into their offshore bank accounts.
There is no victory for US or Ukraine. This is all about the rise of Russian Nationalism that removed the Zionist/Jewish/Bolshevik/Communist from Russia in the 90s and Putin going after the Russian (Jewish) Oligarchs. Everyone needs to study history because those same Bolsheviks are running our country now. If you want to live (die) through Holodomor 2.0, keep staring at the shiny objects. If you don’t, you better get educated real quick.
I think deliberate food shortages qualifies as evidence. These coup plotters are homicidal maniacs. If they can’t kill us with injections or fool us with their BS they will starve us into submission. People who died in Holodomor 1.0 were not armed. We are. And how many governments have been overthrown when people go hungry?
Russia controls the airspace. Eastern Ukraine is controlled by Russia and surrounding the main Ukraine army. Every arms shipment is blown to smithereens as it enters the country. Ukraine is desperate for manpower. Putin has achieved most of his objectives and will slowly continue to do so. All the money we throw into that endless sinkhole is supporting a corrupt money laundering operation. IMO they are ramping up the money laundering and kickbacks because they know Russia has already won. If Russia was losing so badly as they say why all this desperation and conflicting statements to reality? Even a blind man can see what’s going on.
And just why did Pelosi go to Ukraine & why did she come back saying $33 billion is not enough upon her return? Where is the EU, NATO, UN contribution?
“Where is the EU, NATO, UN contribution?” What difference does it make? We pay that, as well.
They went over to pick up their checks, have a photo-op, and then voted to force the American taxpayers, who are struggling, to pay for it. Our “representatives” only represent themselves. Look how they have voted to bankrupt America and overrun our borders with foreigners we must also support for decades, and for some reason don’t require COVID tests or shots, or any other medical screen, like Ebola.
2+2 is not equalling 4 is it? Please people, ask yourself why Ukraine? What interest does the US have in Ukraine? Why did Victoria Nuland and the state dept stage a coup in 2014? Who is Victoria Nuland? Who is her husband? Robert Kagan? Ukraine is originally part of the Kievan Rus. So don’t give me the supporting democracy crap and genocide. If we were really concerned about genocide we would do something about it where it is really happening like Israel and South Africa. I’m not making this stuff up. Look into the holodomor. Who did it? They were all Zionist Bolsheviks. Look into it. Look how they caused massive unemployment and created supply chain interruptions that caused starvation. It’s the exact same playbook. So we don’t call them Bolsheviks anymore…now we call them neo-cons, progressives etc. Who runs our state dept? DOJ? The intelligence community? Who is Adam Schiff? Any relation to Jacob Schiff? Don’t know who he is? Look into it. Why is there a family picture of Adam Schiff and his son is wearing a Mossad shirt? Do you even know what Mossad is? Why does every politician have to swear allegiance to AIPAC and Israel? Dig deeper. Before it’s too late.
It’s actually Noodleman.
Exactly. Victoria Noodleman. Married to neo-con Robert Kagan. One has to wonder why so many of this tribe change their last names to a more gentile version? It is refreshing to hear from more woke individuals gator. Keep spreading the word.
While they give away money we dont have do any people in congress know or care about
Biden Handing Over U.S. Sovereignty to WHO
Check out Dr. Breggin on the war room !!! SELLING OUT AMERICA COMPLETELY TO THE WHO AND CHINA !!
We need a new revolution and fast.
Not one American will vote for these Marxist thieves in the upcoming election-but they don’t care, they have our money and the vote is already fixed. So packs your bags and find a free country.
The problem is Americans will continue to put these Zionist in power because they are so distracted by the democrat vs republican and other shiny objects that they don’t see what is really going on.
Taxation without representations is tyranny that is where we are. They are losing the Laundromat and now in panic to get funding for cheating.
I see that Zelensky has a nightly address. I knew he would have a talk show!!
Live from Kyiv it’s the Zelensky Show! Tonight Volodymry welcomes Justin from Kanada. Musical guest Bono. Plus Bomb sniffing dog bloopers!
And now….because all his money is banks in St Petersberg. …Florida!!!! VOLODYMRY ZELLLLENNNSKY!
Caesar Flickerman!!!! “Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to the 75th Hunger Games! The Third Quarter Quelle!”
Let the kickbacks roll!
My hate for the turtle grows by the hour.
Its too bad that MAGA and true conservatives have decided to stay in the Republican Party. We’re not going to accomplish ANYTHING or change ANYTHING as long as scum like Mitch McConnell and Plastic Ken dolls like McCarthy are in charge. Chicom Mitch spent 4 years sabotoging Trump and has spent 14 years undermining the Tea Party and every Populist/Conservative impulse in the Party.
Chicom mitch, like Sasse, Romney, Lisa Murky, Etc. are “invade the world, invite the world” Republicans. They will NEVER do anything the American people want. The Republican voters refuse to vote them out. The only alaternative is 3rd party.
They cheat to win and have big bankrolls after all these years in politics. They have the votes wrapped up, so to speak. Look how McConnell and Barber got the dementia patient Cochran elected in MS. They knew how to get votes on ballots before Dominion came along.
Just a reminder. Only about $24 Billion is for weapons. THe other $16 Billion is bribes to Ukrainians to keep on fighting, and graft for various friends of Biden-Pelosi-Schumer-McConnell. You send $1 Billion to some NGO in Ukraine, and mysteriously one of your family gets a job/contract or one of your Big Donors does.
STOP SPENDING on democRAT SLUSH FUNDS!
Geez what happened to the horrible global Covid pandemic?! (Sarc)
These tyrants lie about everything. And that’s McConnell the leader of the Republican Party, who is not leaving any time soon.
Keep working w McConnell and Republican rino party, keep getting same results.
Most Republicans seems to love what McConnell is doing. Covid will be back after the WHO takes control of the world. May 22-24 meeting in Switzerland Tedros and Bill Gates take charge of everything as “health” becomes linked to weather, guns, food, and water.
They don’t care, it’s all about money in their pockets!!!!
Who are those two always behind McTraitor?
Barrasso is from the East Coast but is a R-WY just like Liz Cheney. Jackson Hole Wyoming must be the reason RNC controls Wyoming too.
We also need to remember that Ukraine has been a hotbed of corruption and graft for U.S. politicians for decades. Don’t the possibility that all of this “financial support” for Ukraine is hush money to keep the lid on the truth about which politicians have their hand in the Ukraine cookie jar.
there used to be debates about such expenditures. Apparently, Russia had, Ukraine good is all that is needed. I was strongly pro-Ukraine. Now I am beginning to wonder about what is behind the curtain.
Don’t choose a side. Russia violated just war principles by invading.
Ukraine permitted the US to agitate and goad Russia for decades with bio-weapons labs, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and “military advisors” until Russia got fed up and took the US-laid bait.
The bad guy in this is the USA. There are no good guys.
“Save muh Burisma Bank”
fjb
Total and complete Bull crap!
I sure don’t want to hear one union employee or teacher complain about their pensions ever again. Our workers can lose their pensions but at least we funded the Ukraine pensions. Oh and I’m sure fattened the wallets of our politicians at the same time.
I see Ernst has descended into the inner circle of evil rino dirtbags.
As a native Iowan I remember her initial run for congress. She was going to be different. She was going to Washington to kick ass. She had been in the army and there was going to be no funny stuff. Tough as nails. She was going to make them squeal like pigs. She was going to cut taxes and everything!
She went rino as soon as she got there. Trump supported her in 2020 helped get her re-elected. She stabbed him in the back.
Same old same old same old.
Definition of insanity keep doing the same thing expect different results.
I agree BT
Cold Cold Anger. Thanks for the update and my anger grows by the hour and day of these DC Swamp critters. Something is going to break.
McConnell and his wife need to be investigated. One thing is for certain is that Mitch does not represent the state that sent him.
While Americans are getting INFLATED and INTEREST RATED to Poverty….
Screw them all.
Anybody ELSE so tired of the so-called conservative senate puppets who stand there silently behind the Turtle as if this is a really grave and thoughtful decision they’ve made.
They ALL are addicted to the power/money cabal of D.C., don’t want to give up their toney townhomes and/or to return to their hillbilly territory roots. Oust them all.
The dirty pipeline from Ukraine back to criminal, thieving American Politicians is staggering. In- your-face skimming theft of American tax dollars through the Ukrainian crime family headquartered in Kiev.
The American Deep State Sewer, up to their necks, hiding what’s going on.
“East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet.” ?
Sorry kids, the West has become the East. All deals are under the table.
Why do we have to keep sending more money? I thought the ghost pilot and miss Ukraine were handing Putin his a$$
The most important focus for legislation is the fundamental change of America, from a constitutional republic into a doormat for the rest of the world.
This is why Mitch McConnel prefers to be in the minority. It throws shade on his treason.
I think they (the lying POS’s in DC) should take up arms and fight along side the Ukrainians.
thune lost my neighbors vote today. He is being primaried by a Native American Bruce Whalen. I wish Trump would ignore kristi noem and endorse Bruce.
This is how they all leave as multi-millionaires. $40Billion to Ukraine, courtesy of the struggling American taxpayer, less the cuts for every Congressman and Senator voting on this package. Notice the recent trips of our “representatives” to pick up their checks. That’s BEFORE Biden drags us into WW111 with Russia and it’s allies.
What a great opportunity for the establishment scum, both sides of the isle, to slide an extra 20 to 30 billion into the money laundering operation of the Ukraine under the guise of military assistance…
Feels a lot like viet nam doesn’t it…
They have not placed the interests of the American people first and foremost .
Hopefully this Ukraine aid package can be stopped in the senate, the House of Representatives has failed the citizens they should be representing.
The major issues for citizens is not Ukraine, as it is for the Congressional leaders of both political parties. The major issue for voters should be removing the current leadership. Perhaps we should demand a written promise for voting to remove the current political leadership by anyone running for a Congressional seat.
Until the current administration is restrained and the, soon to be majority , Republican Party leadership changes our nation will continue on its road to self destruction.
