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.
DECEPTICONS ♦ Senate Republican Leader: Senator Mitch McConnell♦ Assistant Minority Leader: Senator John Thune♦ Conference Chairman: Senator John Barrasso♦ Senate Republican Conference Vice Chairman: Senator Joni Ernst♦ Senate Republican Policy Committee Chairman Roy Blunt♦ National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Rick Scott♦ Corporate Public Relations Firm, Fox News
$6.59/gallon for gas.
Triple costs at the grocery store.
Massive amount of foreigners crossing our Southern border.
But, but, but think of poor Ukrainians………………………
And 99.9% of that 40 billion will never be seen by the Ukrainian people.
The other 0.01% goes for the JAB. THAT has to be stashed in the bill on page 20000. FJB’s 10% doesn’t even leave the USSA! In our faces these evil people are in plain sight and broad daylight destroying the American Fabric. Who has the cahones to ‘STAND UP’ and speak out for us ? Only answer: Jesus Christ. We as a Society altogether have exhausted our moral resources, values and compassion. Why? We now live in a culture of “Fear’. Fear from what? The ‘Unknown‘? I know how this movie ends. Be on the ‘Right-Side’ of the Boat! GOD please forgive us for we know not what we do. I sure don’t. You don’t either. We’re born into corruption and we are witnessing the Manifestation of current events and Biblical Prophesy. Buckle up Bro’s and Sis’s! Christians are about to face the Real Test! We are strong, faithful and ready. AMEN
I’m readying for when the cartridge box starts making policy.
You and everyone else. It’s gonna be a rough summer…..
No kidding.
We need to encourage all our family and friends to stock up…and be prepared.
I have a son in Austin. He’s aware (awakened) but not tuned in. Trying to get him there.
Prepare like it’s WWII…
Honestly, and as bad as we all hate it, that is the only thing that will make a difference.
Un-effing believable, but not. I’ll be on the phone tomorrow. The most important things are OUR southern border, the shocking inflation, and the WHO taking over our sovereignty with their vote on May 22-28.
The Democrats are destroying the United States of America before our eyes. And we do not have time to wait for Trump in 2024.
And I don’t have time to wait for tomorrow. Decepticon Barrasso will hear from me TONIGHT. His ears are BURNING in that picture as he slithers behind McConnell.
Democrats? It’s NOT just Democrats –it’s RINOs too. I am physically ill by this move.
We’d be foolish to think the Dims are the only corrupticrats in congress getting kickbacks from the military contractors and vendors from this Ukraine money train. McChinless and the rest of the rinos are also cashing in.
WHO cannot take over our “sovereignty” it requires a 2/3 Senate vote to ratify an international treaty to take supremacy over the US Constitution…..anything else in pandering and posturing that can be changed at a stroke of the pen…remember the wailing when PDJT pulled us from the “Paris Accords?”…..same situation
I thought the same about the proposed WHO Pandemic Treaty but when Bannon interviewed Michelle Bachmann she did not discuss this 2/3 senate vote to ratify. She just stressed the importance of whatever “amendments” O’Biden is adding to the discussion/treaty must be removed.
What, uh, was NATO membership for? Wasn’t membership how one got this kind of support?
Makes one wonder how long “Foreign Aid” kickbacks have been happening and for whom.
Are they concerned about the supply chain, no, the gravy train.
Yes, they are. They’re concerned with finding ways to shut it down so that it looks like the Russians did it, or it happened by accident.
There’s a theory that the enemy of the U.S. and NATO isn’t Russia. It’s the American middle class and the middle class of other Western countries. This bill makes that seem very possible.
Ukraine Uber Alles !!!
Ukraine the vacuum cleaner of Europe.
People with kids in the military, should tell them to leave until there is a REAL war.
The only war our children ought to be involved in at this stage is defense of our own borders and against our enemies domestic.
Everything they do is for the purpose of fighting MAGA.
Best way to conceal it is through manufactured crisis. They have a well crafted plan to keep Trump out of the 2024 election too. Judges have already been selected.
The judges should be watching what is taking place with the SCOTUS protests very carefully. Apparently it is no longer verboten to harass judges wherever they may be.
Exactly 💯 💯
👉 The Supreme Court refused to hear the aggrieved and petitioning States regarding the antiConstitutional fraudulent election overthrow of President Donald J Trump.
Why do we need ANY judges or Courts if they’re not going to stand for Constitutional Republic Citizens and Rights.
Maybe a few “judges” are getting the idea they’re loose strings waiting to be cut ✂️ off (no longer useful) by the corrupt DC globalists and Bureaucracts. 👈
It’s still illegal for us to protest judges’ at their homes, but NOT for Communists to protest conservative judges at their homes. The DOJ will do squat because the DOJ is largely comprised of Communists.
Out of Touch….hall n oates
sic semper tyrannis
A twofer for Tuesday
I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)….hall n oates
FU these out of touch DC Swamp rats.
This is complete insanity.
They all should be drop-kicked into the Potomac and not allowed back on shore.
A couple more of these and with the kick backs individual congressmen will be fully funded.
Slag glass…just a smooth surface left.
Why would I bother voting for Republicans? Who is buying this nonsense? Nazis in Ukraine is the most important issue in America? Just put a fork in us. We’re done.
Not one vote for any of the Rino’s. Fl Senator Scott is my Senator who I will not be voting for this November. As far as I’m concerned, if we don’t have a MAGA Opponent this primary, I’ll be voting for anyone else, including any Democrat opponent running against these traitorous bastards. These bastards are worse than Democrats and must be taken out.
I know this is wrong but…
I HATE that man, like deeply HATE that man.
Like if I see him trying to merge in traffic, I could let him over….but I don’t.
Election info and more corruption than we can imagine.
In spite of the aid already received, Ukraine appears to be slowly losing the war. The Russians, having started the war with an overly ambitious strategy have since scaled back their operations to something more realistic. Russia’s logistics problems seem to have been sorted out. Russians have already retaken the city of Mariupol. And there is now a genuine main effort in the Donbas.
Russian forces are now fighting inch by inch and pounding the substantial mass of Ukrainian forces in the East with their extensive artillery. Two months into the war, Ukraine has not engaged in any substantial counterattack.
So will the United States support Ukraine until it is ground into dust? In order to avoid needless human suffering, we could push Ukraine towards some reasonable accommodation with Russia roughly similar to what prevailed from 2010 to 2014. While it would be painful for Ukraine to lose territory, such concessions have ended many other wars before, including the Irish rebellion of 1916 and the recent war between Ethiopia and Eretria.
These are not uncharted waters.
But instead of such realism, we have official silence regarding any diplomatic terms and increasingly aggressive talk from Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and members of Congress in both parties. As in Afghanistan, our leaders have embraced a vague and completely fanciful notion of victory that does not allow any evaluation of or reduction of efforts.
Advocates promise that more weapons, more money, and more time will yield progress, but we were told the same thing about Afghanistan until its government and military completely and rapidly collapsed.
Cui Bono?

The article is inaccurate.
Russia is keeping casualties to a minimum, and are going to obtain their objectives.
Goodness me..everything out of American Media is a lie.
One of my favourite quotes from a Russian writer, is “ the empire of lies “ when he talks of the U.S.
F.F.S. the MSM was lying about Russia and the Ukraine for the entire tenure of PDJT.
Nothing has changed.
Cheers.
It looks as though “the plan” all along was for Russia to annex southeast Ukraine and secure a land bridge to Crimea. Everything else was a distraction. Oh, and the demolition of the Azov Batallion and its associate units was a “must do.”
“Gimme $50 billion or the statue gets it!”
destruction of the biolabs was given ultimate priority….hence their immediate targeting once operations began
I read the article. My opinion, given the Obama/Biden ClowardPiven-influenced strategy, is that the war is not so much to weaken Russia (which may result), but is part of an overall attempt to weaken the United States.
For thwarting Trump their payoff comes through Ukraine.
I paid $4.99 a gallon to fill my car up today. Outrageous! And, not one politician seems to care. I’m in Illinois.
Maxie, I feel your pain. SW suburbs, Will County, I have Duckworth as a senator. She has been awfully quiet lately.
And I see Underwood signs on lawns…she is a fraud, too.
I only fill enough to get me thru a few days. Yesterday, by me it was 4.54.
I have snapped my wallet shut. It was 90 today and in protest, I did NOT turn on the air conditioning.
Utilities are like other products, we can rebel, but TPTB go by way of “target profits” and will make their money either by continuing to raise prices or making it less available and raise prices. We are fluster clucked.
I’m in SW suburbs, too. Also Will County.
Why would they care, the more we pay the more they receive via taxes. (Ill Gotten GAINS)
Diesel fuel in Comanche TX $5.40 a gallon, 35 gallons cost $190 to fill both the tanks on my 1982 Chevy C-20 6.2 diesel, renewed the registration $77.25 + $7.00 for inspection, now my truck is worth twice as much!!!
What a sorry herd of ultra RINOs. Hey Rick! I’m not holding my nose to vote for Lil’ Marco this year & then it’s your turn.
Raytheon and Lockheed Martin leading the way! They calling everyone’s shots and the American people tolerate this BS.
I guess I am going to have to call my congress critters again tomorrow. Not that it will do any good, but at least I can let them know that I am unhappy with all their crap. Un-freaking believable!!!! Our current government is the enemy of the American people.
How else are they supposed to get kickbacks and launder money for their families? Mitch McConnell is pondscum, I don’t even think the devil wants this group.
No, but Ukraine does.
I enjoyed Caitlin Johnstone’s snarky take on this subject at her Substack:

40 Billion to defend Ukraine border.
What a negociation by Bitch, he get tips from Kevs roomate Luntz?
When Mitch finally dies, I will celebrate.
I will join you.
And bring the GOOD liquor.
I’ve got a bottle of Blue Label that I am not going to drink, say the word, I’ll throw it in the mail!
Sadly there are too many more RINO’s who will be lined up to replace the corrupt scumbag when he does kick the bucket.
All will know sedition once in the open: Cicero.
This is total insanity of course. What they should be forced to explain to the American public is how much of that $40 billion will be in the form of money deposited directly into a bank account of one of the most corrupt country in the world?
What a disappointment Ernst has turned out to be…..
And our disabled War Veteran Duckworth. She is MIA.
And she was hailed and loved just as much, if not more, than Kathy Barnett is today.
Go back and check out Joannie Ernst 1st Iowa campaign and you will see what I mean.
You never really know who you voted for until they win and are in office.
Be careful or get burned.
Crenshaw for all his false bravado from TX no less
The kickbacks must be epic and widespread…we know from the Ukrainians that our equipment hasn’t been that useful…
The Duran discussed how NATO countries are supplying their old inventory all while Western defense manufacturers are being told increased defense budgets will be increased to rebuild inventory with all new generations of supply.
Thelma and Mitch, with America tied to the rear bumper…
Wow. I hate them even more now. Didn’t realize that was even possible. Lord have mercy.
Recent events have forced to reconsider my long standing opposition to anarchy.
Re Flagging: when I slide down thru the comments via ipad, sometimes a red flag shows up. Does that mean I flagged the comment? I believe I’ve intentionally flagged only one comment in all the years on this site.
As long as you don’t click on it, you have not instigated a red flag.
With the special operation all over but the shoutin’, any money these Demon Possessed Cretins try to shove over there wouldn’t do any good even if the cause was justified, and it’s a hell of a long way from that…
Ah, that’s a negatory on that, Tex.
How else are they going to get theirs?
Demanding that their kids get 7 figure cushy jobs ?
This is why I am not too worried that the Left owns all the mainstream media and a lot of the “conservative” media. Because if they are afraid to report on the things real people are seeing and dealing with, they will very quickly lose people’s attention.
And if we are the ones with the interesting and juicy news about the election crime, vaccines, money, food, etc., then we individual people are going to be the new news sources, and The Conservative Treehouse will be the new AP and Reuters.
Seems to me this is the easiest way politicians get the hands on our tax money… run it through the state department, and some how our ‘leaders’ will get their hands on it.
The State Department is where Hillary and John Kerry Laundered hundreds of Billions of our Tax money!
I literally cannot stand this bunch of traitors.
Do any of you really think that these monies will stay in Ukraine? Ukraine is and has been the foreign aid dollar pipeline back to the pockets of the D.C. Swamp, particularly the Congressional member campaign funds of both Democrats and Republicans. The Uni-Party RULES…….and the blood of innocent Ukrainians is on their hands as well as the Russians….WTF?
I guess they have to ensure that the war chests are full to fight the MAGA winners after this Nov.
Exactly!
Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy did nothing to
stop the 2020 Election Fraud.
RINOs McConnell and McCarthy must be purged from
any Leadership position.
It is evil for U.S. politicians and bureaucrats to engage in a proxy war against Russia because they did not take a vote to declare war on Russia. Instead, they keep voting to approve more funds to give to Ukraine for support and indirectly wage war on Russia and also are providing arms to Ukraine without the required procedure in Congress.
Russia has every right to defend itself against the Ukrainian military shelling ethnic Russians in Donbas and the biological weapons laboratories funded by the U.S. In addition, Putin has begged for years for NATO to stop expanding eastward toward the Russian border. Russia has legitimate security interests to defend and Putin has tried under these extreme circumstances to take necessary defensive action and to limit casualties. Russian soldiers have been subjected to cruel torture that constitute blatant human rights violations and violate international law. Neo-Nazis are torturing Russian soldiers using the most depraved methods they can think of. Our government is supporting these obscene actions in violation of the required procedures for declaring war. Our government is waging war by proxy because depraved politicians want to defeat and loot Russia and they use the controlled media to gaslight the American public. Ukraine is controlled through the funds which the U.S. congress is providing. Ukraine is used for money laundering by the same politicians.
We have a moral obligation to protest these actions taken on behalf of the U.S. and contact our representatives in Congress to let them know that we strongly oppose this proxy war against Russia that is being waged without a declaration of war and without the support of the U.S. citizens. Contact information for representatives can be found at https://www.house.gov/representatives and for senators at https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm.
See Linda Gramnesty is still trying to act the tuff guy. The South Carolina senator revealed his true colors on Sunday demanding that the US launch World War 3 against nuclear-armed Russia in order to save Ukraine. According to Sen. Graham, “there is no off-ramp in this war” and it’s time for the US to step up to the plate and “take out Putin.“
Putin knows many secrets…..
We now live in a feudal society.
The fake president Joey Soft Serve, is the king; Congress and the oligarchs are the nobles and we are the serfs.
Simple.
They not only use the money to enrich themselves and family members but to pay for Antifa, BLM rioters and Black Bag ops like 2000 Mules and taking out Epstein in jail.
I guess words found in the Cambridge dictionary are not allowed.
40 Billion to support a War overseas and nothing to build the wall and stop the INVASION of our own country. Should be the other way around.
When is enough enough?
Making ready the Hog Trough! Plenty for everybody, even the obedient opposition party. Imagine, reconstruction contracts to fulfill, rebuild the medical industry, the agricultural industry, the education system, manufacturing & minerals, replace nuclear with windmills & solar panels. They are going to BUILD BACK BETTER in Ukraine! Too bad America didn’t cooperate when given the opportunity, but now they get to pay for somebody else’s Utopia.
Washington DC has become the Third Anti-Christ.
I am sooooooooooo angry. So angry. So terribly angry. I wrote my Senators 3 times about halting this and got pabulum in reply about how we must help poor, brave Ukraine against those dastardly Russians.
Did I say, I am soooooooooooooooooo angry?
That’s just insane
