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).
We have no representation in our government.
5 months takes us right up to the election… Looks like election funding to me.
You’re darn right.
Yuup; it is already done and done. They got their big bucks, so why should they do another thing….just like last time, they won’t .
…and we haven’t for quite some time.
And not to put too fine a point on our comments, what makes people think we’ll have representation after this November?
We need to start hammering these Rinos and ask them how we can afford this.
11 represented us. 86 are uniparty traitors to America. Who abstained from the vote?
I think I saw three Dems abstained
Awwww shucks. By this measure that means there are only 39 GOP senators that need to be voted out of office. Piece of cake.
Congress is arming Nazis with money pilfered from your children and grandchildren. Hunter just got a bigger crack pipe.
THEY ALL MAKE ME SICK.
Except for 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).
See Cal Joe comment. He’s right. Except maybe rand Paul.
Nope, even him. All of them; Rand Paul proved his allegiance when, during the 4 years of President Trump, not one time did he make a single move that would have allowed for President Trump to make recess appointments. One Senator alone could have done that.
No more excuses for any of them.
Preach it, Bessie!
And he could conveniently use the excuse of being a “strict constitutionalist” as to why he couldn’t allow Trump to do it.
Thank Goodness both of my Senators voted against this. Next up, the Who Pandemic Treaty. You know “piddles” is going to say it is OK, and the US will follow that policy until the Senate votes on the Treaty. Jan, 2023 if Republicans take back the Senate, Mitch (China Mitch) won’t call a vote to get us out of this issue. New Leadership top to bottom is needed.
Good ol Rocky Top
I live in Georgia….. my senators are JUST getting started , learning how to fraud the system ….Warnock and Ossoff!
Emailing and calling them is a waste of time …. I don’t check all the right boxes!!!
Both frauds.
They cheated to get in. They’re cheating now that they’re “in”.
Warnock is supposedly a reverend. Right.
A reverend of “What” is the question?
TwoGeese_…: Church of the Almighty Dollar
Reverend of The First Church of Molech. Warnock and Stacey “Tank” Abrams are said to have the two largest campaign fund accounts of anyone in the Dem Party. Now where did all that cash come from?
do it anyways.
I gave Rick Scott and Bill Posey an earfull even though I know they don’t care…
They need to hear how pissed off the people are they are supposed to be representing.
Please!!
They appear to be there just to put some spin on the show. Don’t worry, they have no power.
Those are just the handful that was given permission to dissent. In Order to give the appearance of resistance.
All of them, especially the no votes – knowing passage was going to be a done deal now they can virtue signal to the voters back home and push the story line ‘they tried, but no one would listen’ –
the obscenity of these people pretending to represent the will of the people back home, there really is no way to truly express the rage that’s growing, found myself cheering for those starving people in Sri Lanka going after the politicians; something I never thought my heart could be brought to do. But it’s there.
Govna, all of them here and in the US. God help us.
Thank goodness, I was getting worried. /s
The criminal cabal aka swamp rats doing what swamp rats do.
I prefer the nuke to Davos on Monday to clear out the WEF. Plus the Swiss banks where the politicians hide their money.
and a second nuke to land on DC
That has been needed for quite a while. Creeps. Since they already had their chance of holding both house and senate and already did nothing, what good will voting them another win do? NOTHING.
I am good w/that, I just hate to see all the old buildings and museums get destroyed, so many I still would like to visit.
So maybe just a neutron bomb or an EMP.
Why would Russia nuke DC and stop our country’s total destruction?
I would personally prefer a Sodom & Gomorrah event to take care of the east coast AND the west coast in one.
The houses of worship would be jammed for a long time after that! People seem to re-learn and repent QUICKLY!
I prefer judgement to be more selective than entire coasts being destroyed. That’s ridiculous. Many good people in this country that are being abused nonstop now by the greedy wretched.
and a third nuke to land on Ottawa. Amen!!! Daj Boze.
The GPS coordinates are hardly a secret. Just be certain to also get the airfield where the thug billionaires park their private jets.
Copy that!
They hide money in the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean, too. There are probably several other places and we can’t blow them all to smithereens. I wish we could but WE will no longer have that power because soon we won’t even be able to get bullets much less anything higher up the chain.
…and Bermuda…
Are we just now finding out that some Swiss billionaire is funding the DNC?? Hmmm…
It’d be awsum to use those billion$ to feed hungry American babies, instead:
Starving American Babies Disguise Selves As Ukrainian Soldiers In Hopes Of Getting $40 Billion In Federal Aid

The naked looting is intensifying😒
And why not? Who is going to stop the looting?
Isn’t looting the treasury the last thing on the list before collapsing the country?
This American Thinker author makes an interesting point; once the empire falls it will make room for the republic to arise:
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/05/if_the_american_empire_falls_will_the_republic_rise.html
Crime INC. strikes again!
Only The Christ can save this world. Time of the reckoning is coming.
Amen Amin!!
The RINOS in the Senate are learning the “RINO Revolving Rotation” like the RINOs President Trump nominated to the Supreme Court. Every time the Supreme Court votes for the winning Leftist Agenda one of either Gorsuch, Kavanagh or ACB votes for the losing Conservative side so they can maintain their Conservative Street Creds! LOL. It’s all rigged!
Spot on. I don’t want to give up hope or anything but voting in more republicans or the “we will vote him out next time” mentality accomplishes nothing. The game IS rigged. The citizens of this country are continually abused. The sad thing is they have done such a good job of dividing us that we will never do anything about it. These people are smart. It is not incompetence.
That attitude will win us nothing. Check out our colonial past. You believe that the revolution was fought by 100%? It’s time to get off the sofa and hold these traitors accountable. Mass demonstrations, a work stoppage, striking truckers. Never give in. Never.
Good luck with that. If almost 2 years of completely unlawful lockdowns didn’t activate at least 3% to revolt, none of this malarkey is likely to raise more than a yawn. Feeling very cynical these days.
Lyin’ Ted and Mittens? Oh, my.
They must have won some auctions on Ebay for their baby formula.
Expect billions for baby formula to pass soon.
How to know if a crisis was manufacutred out of thin air:
Payoff to keep the truth of this money laundering scheme in Ukraine quiet.
FUBAR
How’s about a great “SNAFU”!
Democrats/RINOS: One Ukrainian is worth a thousand Americans.
MAGA Republicans: One American is worth a thousand Ukrainians.
Everybody who voted for this, regardless of political affiliation, deserves to be hung for treason. We can’t even feed our own damn children but these scum bags are taking money from us to pay the salaries of the entire Ukrainian government. I’m so disgusted I can’t even see straight.
Putin is laughing his ass off right about now. Maybe one day Putin will release all the info he has on these traitors. We can hope can’t we.
he already gave it to VSGPDJT…it was in the soccer ball, remember?
God Bless President Putin.
Wish I could double click!!
My government went to Ukraine on a $40B vacation, and all I got was this lousy khaki tee shirt.
Shhhesh,, I didn’t even get the da*n T shirt. How do you rate and the rest of us don’t?
Be glad. Who would want that stinky thing.
So we borrow money from Chyna to give to our “elected ones via Ukraine? Is that about right??
T Shirts should say this…
фуцк де біден
Clue…the last two letters on first word should provide hint.
That’s what they are all in it for; getting their cut for selling us down the road to ruin.
My question is: Why do they hate America and Americans so much? After all, we, the same people whom they really hate and want to hurt, are the ones that put them in their great positions of wealth and power……..Sorry Sons’ of Satan is what they all are….yes the females also get the same name in my book.
It is an oxymoron isn’t it! The people who are their cash cows to loot are the people they hate most!
They are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Good gosh, Sundance is correct. That $40 billion is only expected to fund Ukraine war for five months (or less):
*******
“The White House estimated its request would bolster Ukraine through the next five months of the unfolding conflict, though some lawmakers have questioned that assessment.
“From what I understand, it’s not enough,” said Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, during a brief interview Tuesday.

*******
My mind keeps coming back to that expert congressional testimony that the best we can ever hope for is a stalemate in our proxy war
Congress is putting the special interests of the military industrial complex over what the American people actually want.
We are not ‘smart’ enough to know what we want/s
Ukraine is losing. Massive surrender at Mariupol, at Asovstal plant by creepy Nazi battalion to Russia…on video….
and there will be military/public trials…….
evacuation…either to Russia(biggest fishes) or to Donbas small one…
Sorry to tell you; all you Republican’ts…..you need to change your voting habits. These are the ones that keep saying they will fix it when they get the house and senate back; but just look at the little pantywaists and see how they ruin things. They just want to see how much more they can take from you and how quickly they can do it. Just like last time…..they didn’t “fix” nothing….never will.
The GOP is unsalvageable. Anything to do with them is a mistake. Kind of like Clyde Barrow, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, John Gotti (et al) could not be rehabilitated………
5 months..May.June July August September…new appropriations before November?
Cruz is just like Cornyn
I’m sick and tired of having to vote for them. I don’t want to do it anymore! They could care less about us.
They actually hate us.
Texas needs some new Senators!! Both Cornyn and Cruz are disgraceful!!! I’m embarrassed!! I would vote for any MAGA candidate that would primary against either of them!! I’m sick to my stomach that mothers with infants can’t find formula and McConnell says everyone agrees that the Ukraine is the most important thing right now. No Ukraine isn’t important at all if your baby is starving!!! Sick bastards all 86 of them!!!
I live here and I totally agree!
That’s a significant problem you just identified there. Let me help you with another one in my state: Marco Rubio and Rick Scott. I want to believe in Scott as a conservative but I don’t. Marco? Pfffffffffffffffft
Where the hell is MAGA?
Cruz was dead to me when he went to the border years ago to give our teddy bears. He should have gone with a copy of the construction and instructed the lower level CBP to arrest the ones Calling the shots.
In South Carolina, I feel the same way about Graham and Scott.
Time to flush the toilet.
AMEN!!
That’s it. I’m never voting for a republican again. Never.
I just pulled your comment out of the bin, and you shouldn’t have any further problems posting. 😉
I expected McCornyn to vote for this. Did not expect Cruz to. yeesh
Why in the hell would you trust Ted Cruz? Have people forgotten how he stabbed PDJT and us in the back at the 2016 convention and how he bashed the Jan. 6 protesters and called them terrorists? Ted Cruz is a back stabbing pile of RINO vomit.
This is why,if the R’S gain a numerical majority in Nov, it’ll be almost meaningless.
One might think that initially, but there is an old expression, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”.
I don’t know if this country can survive until we get a MAGA majority, but we can sure try.
Correct. In fact, I can see Dominion fine tuning their algorithms in favor of the Rs who voted Yea because keeping them around leading a red wave insures status quo. The 39 YEAs will certainly keep any new bloods who get through, in check.
MAGA Senators from Florida = 0.
Yup, Senate side sucks. 4, maybe 5, House Reps. St Lucie County is very solid red at just about every level imaginable.
Texas here and a big fat Goose Egg as well. The C bros are cons, Cruz and Cornyn.
What a sham. Create a false narrative and then send money. Trump told Europe is was high time they protected their own back yard and maybe give more that 0.001% of their budgets to NATO. Group think at its worst. B as in B and S as in S!!
I may be dumber than I already think I am, but it seems to me there is one person I definitely believe would have tried his very best to get a “deal” with Russia so that the doors were really open to creating a great working relationship between America and Russia, just one person…
Yep, the same person who crossed over the dmz line in South Korea into North Korea to shake hands with a dictator and offer him an honest chance to become friends with the United States.
Donald Trump…
I’m beginning to wonder about him about now. He appears to be listening to the wrong people on whom he is picking to back. They will never make the changes he would have (if he had a choice). He made a bad choice in his advisers. QUIT LISTENING TO OTHERS….MAKE YOUR OWN PICKS, NOT THEIRS.
you have wondered about him over many posts it seems to me
I looked at the list of Rs that voted Yea for this (even Tom Cotton) and I just can’t figure out ANY justification for their treasonist act…even extortion won’t pass muster. I hope they rot in hell with all of the Ds that voted Yea AFTER they first rot here.
Cotton is the consummate war-without-end MIC neocon.
Virtue signaling writ large.
With our money.
Yeah… the moment they thought this would pass easily, they flew over to Ukraine to arrange for their cut of the “aid.”
Why aren’t we just going to call it what it is?
Both Rubio and Scott, who have also done nothing about our border crisis.
In Florida hurricanes create a quasi fake response via FEMA for about a month then all the politicians and bureaucrats retreat. Promises of infrastructure funds that dwindle over each year. Panama City FL 100m in roads from Michael reduced to 10m I think they are fixing a roundabout. Ukraine gets billions, bankrupt state pensions get funding. Neil Dunn MD ( joke) is a Uniparty Charter member. Little Marco and Skeletor Scott are Rinocovidians. True the Vote locally, got to start somewhere, now. Onward Christian Soldiers.
What di€ks!!
You got that wrong. They’re not diçks. Because having a diçk would make them men. Decidedly they are not men!
Jackals
Well at least I know I don’t have to call in a “Wellness Check” on Duckworth and Durbin. I was getting worried as they have been very quiet of late. Not that I agree with them. I don’t and never will.
Supporting Ukraine like we do when we have our own problems, makes no sense.
Watching Finland apply for NATO status puts gasoline on the fire.
We are escalating not deescalating tensions with Russia. What’s really going on?
Russia is leading the world against the Dollar Reserve currency.
Those insane idiots!!!! Grrrrr!
Refraining from swearing!
SMART — I just keep swearing and screaming in the dark. I can’t bring myself to quit the swearing. Have no other outlet besides cursing at the dog and she doesn’t vote.
Not a surprise cassidy or kennedy voted for it. Now the people that get all giddy when kennedy spouts off some cute southern saying, should remember it is all an act.
I will never hold my nose to cast a vote for kennedy. I had to quit calling cassidy’s office before I got a knock on my door.
Good to see that the republicans are fighting mad after the stolen presidential election. Obviously they’re on track to reform and representing a clear choice vs the democrats.
Sarcasm
Glad to see your sarcasm at the bottom, ‘cuase I was ready to scream at YOU…..sorry for that.
They ALL are!!!
So — there are only 11 Senators worth their salt! Make note: it’s time to vote every single one of those 86, that supported this bill to empty American’s pockets while Americans are in such dire straights, out of office asap! If we can’t vote them out, recall them and make them pay our taxpayers back using their own, private funds. It’s time they realize what it’s like to be poor these days thanks to the current administration.
Oh — don’t forget to vote out all the House members that voted for this, too!
“Vote out EVERY incumbent, EVERY election, EVERY time.”
Great wisdom from my dear old Dad circa 1980 (my first time voting)
~No term limits required~
Mark levin calls Ted a true ‘constitutional conservatives’ whatever that means.
We’re in good hands
Mark Levin is dead to me. I used to listen to him until he went all in for Ukraine. Is Mark getting a kickback too?
Levin is rotten
Levin hates Russia but probably loved the Athiest and Communist Soviet Union!
is he KM…????
Mark showed his loyalties and/or incompetence when he endorsed the CANADIAN Cruz
Mark Levin is a warmonger that is too much of a coward to go and fight in Ukraine.
I always thought he was a blowhard.
When he called us Trumpers morons in 2016 that was enough for me.
Then he had a ” road to Damascus conversion” about Trump.
Right.
He ain’t no Paul.
Same here! I let him know too, not like I think he cares.
Former Repub Va Gov Jim Gilmore was on local radio station this morning supporting giving as much money as we can to Ukraine. He said we are a great country and can focus on our southern border at the same time we help Ukraine. The radio host did not push back and say, ‘but we are not focusing on our border!’
And then he said $40 billion is a drop in the bucket and Sen Rand Paul is wrong to say this money will bankrupt us, that’s absurd he said.
I could hardly listen to this selling out of our country.
Jim Gilmore was a RINO idiot as governor.
One of the only good things about VA politics is if a shitty gov gets in he or she can only serve one 4 yr term.
Wasn’t about 1/2 of this funding to reimburse weapons we already sent Ukraine?
Upgrading our munitions to the latest, including the new 6.8 SPC caliber AR platform?
Who is going to support the U.S.A. when the sheet hits the fan here? NOBODY. they don’t care at all what happens here…..only HELP THE UKRAINE.
Elections do have consequences. The suffering of the American people must continue.
In the face of unabated inflation, store shelves empty of baby food (junior didn’t get hit with the manufactured COVID crisis, so its now his turn to suffer hunger). So what do our elected leaders decide, 30 Trillion in debt is not enough! They throw another 40 Billion logs on the fire of inflation. What the hell, they don’t suffer any consequences. These power drunk idiots think the money tree will forever bloom.
We The People need to show them what the Tree of Liberty needs!
They all are just waiting for their cut.
Great. We the People who DO pay taxes are not only paying our do-nothing, self-serving, no moral compass, evil, corrupt members of the U.S. government, now we get to pay Ukraine’s including their bloody pensions.
My God, the nightmare of this Administration destroying our county bit-by-bit seems never ending, I’m incredibly disheartened and furious.
God save America and bless us all.
Rat Bastards
Call it a hunch, call it what you will, but I don’t believe they have their constituents’ best interests at heart…. duh
Oh my God, Texas! I wrote several congressmen and senators in Austin voicing my opinion. Clearly did absolutely nothing.
I can still vote with my dollars. For now.
When I get donation begging letters (which I toss) from any Congress critter, I will write back that my donation to them has already gone to the Ukraine.
The begging postcard will be mailed to their congressional office.
There are only 11 America First Senators.
We have a lot of work cut out for us in the coming elections.
Would hope that there are more. On the other hand, these 11 could be the ones that drew the long straw to help build up their street cred.
Nowadays, with the UniParty, Not Sure of Much.😭😭
Our government is like bailing out the septic tank with a teaspoon. No matter how fast you work to stay above the scum they just keep raining shite on our heads.
Looks like Zalensky has a lot of dirt on the “Yay” voters like Romney.
Bet you Putin has more than peder evil scum Zelinskyy. I will even pay you in USD, our $$ is worth govna.
Boy what a sad state our dear country is in. So pathetic.
Look at those GOP senators who voted Yes on this POS bill.
Globalism is so strong in the senate. China and the Globalists own our GOP senators.
These POS GOP senators don’t give a darn about us. All they want to do is stuff their pockets with the laundered money and slush fund from their puppet controlled government of Ukraine. God please help us.
We are all like a bunch of freakin bots… We all write/say the same things – some very articulate others short and pointed.
But if someone, somewhere, somehow doesn’t come up with a plan (of attack) that we can all get on board with, well then , IMO – our country winds up with “third world status” that sticks/stays..
Please don’t say – “so what’s your plan” – my status is “foot soldier” – lead the way and I will follow and participate..
I am as frustrated as you. I dont know what to do. I call and write these POS and let them know I wont vote for them if they continue this crap but they don’t care. They don’t care because either they use the splinter strategy or they fix the elections through mail in ballots. We are surrounded on all sides. We feel helpless. What I do the most is pray because God WILL NEVER LET THE RIGHTIOUS down. These POS will suffer if not in this life then in the next where they will burn for all eternity. I am at peace with GOD.
How about a general strike by everyone? No doing anything, not even essential services, no government workers ( they buy food/gas also) until the border is closed, all illegals found and deported, no hearings, nada ( if the government can ignore our immigration laws, they can also ignore deportation laws), open up Keystone pipeline, issue all permits for energy, open Fed land for energy, stop funding NATO/UN, bring our military home, make China honor their deals, high tariffs on all China goods, send the military to conquer the cartels, and stop donating to PACs, politicians, foundations.
Until then (Congress can quickly pass legislation when motivated) we stay home & mean it.
Don’t worry about mortgages, credit payments, stock up with food & necessities first, because this will be too big to fail. When no one is there to serve in restaurants, supermarkets, truckers, fuel tankers trucks, refineries, cops, banks, call centers, maintenance, the list goes on, then maybe…
Maybe, those that think they’re the elites, will suffer and meet the strike demands and listen to real elites, us!
We can also take a page from Sri Lanka protests and the abortion nuts, and go to “elitists’” homes.
That money rightfully should be applied towards Social Security (that they tell we who paid into it will run out shortly), our wounded veterans that put their lives on the line for this country, rebuild our police and military funding, help rebuild our energy independence, our private businesses, our farmers, etc, etc!
BTW: Just how much of this $40billion will ever find it’s way to actually support all those Ukranian citizens whose lives have been destroyed by Zelensky, Putin, Biden and other world leaders who are the ones with blood on their hands!
