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).
You mean it will take 5 months to kick back their laundered money???? Really?
Five months the election will upon them
I pointed this out the other day. Based on the odd nature of this “war”, I firmly believe US/UKR/RUS are all working together. They are helping crash the dollar and the US as a whole.
I mean you have EU countries now agreeing to buy Russian oil in Rubles. Everything that’s happening plays into Russia’s hands. Trump pointed this out when still in office. He asked why the EU buys their gas from a dictator like Putin.
Not sure what everyone thinks is happening, but the left and controlled oppo reps are looting the treasury and it’s only helping Russia. Nobody is going to convince me others.
Think about it. These sneaks Fs have us rooting for Russia. We shouldn’t be rooting for any of these scum. It is US the American citizen that’s getting their ass handed to them. And we are sitting around hoping Putin kicks WEF ass. But when you take a 30K foot view, nothing adds up and Russia is about to be top dog.
Hmmm
They are looting the treasury. When Kremlin fell back in the day, they found a letter from Ted Kennedy to I think Kruschev. He was telling him to hang tough and we had people in our government working towards a good relationship with them. I mean, why the f—k did we not slam him for give aid and comfort to the enemy???
They’ve been planning this a long time. And they have us dead to rights right now.
There’s that bipartisan thing again. You know when that crap pops up you get NAFTA.
I do despise the swamp and the swamp rats therein.
Where is Cruz street dancer now! Cruz= uniparty for life!
Fools
Unfrockingbelievable. Not that I agree with the prior actions, but this is the same dotgov that took 18 months to send her citizens $1,800?
So now the same illegitimate monsters, distributers of death and destruction, rip $253 from the 158M US workers?
Please zim/zer, may I have some more?
Politicians always cause the problem they profess to solve. The real problem is too many lawyers … Forty percent of the current Congress attended law school—54 percent of senators and 37 percent of House members have a law degree. Vote America First candidates only.
But, but, but, Cruz is a TRUE CONSERVATIVE!
That just increases inflation and devaluing the money. You can’t afford gas and food-but you can pay for Ukraine pensions.
It’s not enough we are paying for their military equipment, but we have to pay this other crap too. I can’t believe they didn’t try to hide it and call it something else. Shows just how brazen they are.
Sold out Americans.
let me be honest for a moment….
if you had the chance to loot the treasury:
—-
why WOULDN’T you?
they’ve taken so much from us that, at this point, I would no longer really consider it theft anyway.
Once Socialists, now that the writing on the wall can be seen, become raiding Preppers.
Integrity.
That’s why.
you are a slave and your family is starving.
the masters who did this to you have fled the plantation, sensing what was coming.
in their haste, they left food inside the mansion.
I find no “integrity” in standing to defend the “property” of your oppressors who have stolen it from you.
The “party of law and order” cannot expect to restore the fallen republic by standing around declaring any action to be inappropriate and untoward. it sounds an awful lot like “thats not who we are.”
Again
Hush money for Congress’s co-conspirators.
For certain. But does anyone think the plan is for a NATO invasion of Ukraine this summer and all these billions of dollars of weaponry inbound to Ukraine is intended to support this effort?
No. The Corruptocracy in DC just wants to bleed US taxpayers and Russia dry. These clowns have no concept of winning, they just want to increase the already obscene corporate profits of the Daddy Warbucks who own them.
They have been bought off by the UN and the WHO.
Unlikely any of the pieces of human trash that voted for this theft of tax payer funds thought that far ahead. Much more likely the trash that voted for this disaster are getting kickbacks from it in one form or another. There is absolutely zero benefit to the citizens of America from this corruption.
Mule money. Instead of going back to their districts, speak to the people and fundraise they couldnt be bothered so they grift through leglisation and hiden phoney payments to finance their reelections.
We play Monopoly with our grandsons, every single game the game’s 100$ bills run out. So we bring out the yuge pack of play 100$ bills so we can keep playin the game.
According to Rand Paul (per Breitbart). this is exactly how it works. We don’t have the money, because of course we don’t, courtesy of Congress always playing “monopoly”.
We’ve borrowed it from China, our ” bank”. I bet the terms of the loan will cost us dearly.
No problem… the US is not planning to pay anyone back or pay off 30+ trillion in bonds…except possibly with greenbacks that have become worthless…
Perhaps they used Hunter Biden as collateral.
Oh my God… whelp, grab your asses people and be sure to thank the 11 for standing firm.
“be sure to thank the 11 for standing firm.”
Oh hell no. Most of them were given permission to vote ‘No’ only to fool the rubes back home.
This is an offensive War against Russia on behalf of the Deep Swamp disguised as a defensive War on behalf of Ukraine.
If the earth opened up and swallowed Ukraine whole, they wouldn’t give a damn. The nascent World Gumment would still run their money-laundering, Human trafficking, drug trafficking and BioWeapons Lab-scams and attack Russia for her natural resources.
Remember “No Blood For Oil?” Neither do they.
They’ll happily bleed Ukrainians dry for what they want. Russians, too, for that matter. Bloodthirsty ghouls.
Exactly right.
They surely must see their money laundering opportunities drying up…this is what it’s all about
Filthy pos, there will be a reckoning, you assholes kickback money and criminal behavior will be your and your families undoing. F*ck congress, and the graft they produce for themselves. Country going down the tubes, and these filthy little turd eaters are lining their pockets. We won’t forget your or your families, and I hope you get exactly what you lowlifes deserve.
And if the language police, on this site start their crap, I have your back.
I thought it and you said it.
Beautiful. The bond runs deep here. That’s why I come.
It is a big club …and we ain`t in it……..
but be sure they all..are………
As I understand it, we will have to borrow the 40 BILLION dollars from China.
It would seem so much simpler for Ukraine to borrow the 40 BILLION dollars from China and we don’t get stuck being the middle man who has to pay it back.
WE fund the pensions of THEIR government workers now, with OUR tax dollars. And THEY will be coming back for MORE. I’d think inflation would be horrible for them so it would make sense they ask for an inflation adjustment next time around, too.
I can’t fund my own retirement, but I’ll help pay for theirs in Ukraine.
Of course, our politicians will have nice retirement funding from us as well.
Funny how that works.
Meanwhile, it is amazing how many war hawks are coming out of the closet.
89…to be precise…
It’s been going on for years. I see them and I hear them time after time. Not one with any skin in the game.
They may be war hawks, but they are also greedy stupid a$$holes. It blows my mind how little they care for the Americans they represent. I hate ’em all for what they’ve done to our retirement funds for which we worked hard. Every time they do another giveaway, the market drops like a rock and they know it. I hope Putin drops a gift in their laps which puts a grimace, not a grin, on their faces.
Of the 11 who voted NO, only 4 were up for re-election:
Arkansas: John Boozman
Idaho: Mike Crapo
Kentucky: Rand Paul
Utah: Mike Lee
This leaves us with 7 honest people in the Senate. We must be missing something about the last 7?
So being a war hawk is confirmation.
Who of the following 7 republican senators that voted against the massive money laundering operation are normally war hawks? Blackburn (R-TN), Braun (R-IN), Hagerty (R-TN), Hawley (R-MO), Lummis (R-WY), Marshall (R-KS), Tuberville (R-AL).
They all receive donations for their reelections from the military industrial complex.
I’m sure we will need to re-build their country after Russia gets thru bombing. Every other one does whether we had anything to do with them or not. Just call Uncle Sugar.
Rest assured this $40 billion will end up in the pockets of Zelenskyy and his oligarchs while the Ukrainian people will have to fend for themselves.
Must be some serious Kompromat stored in the Ukraine.
Approximately 400 per household.
At least one household won’t pay the $400 as the “Big Guy” definitely got his 10% off the top!
That’s so true, it’s not even funny.
This is pathetic! While Americans suffer, all the aid and money go to Ukraine and illegal aliens! I feel a profound contempt for this corrupt administration down through all levels of gov’t including Congress, which has such high disregard for the American people and all the suffering and abuse that we are being put through.
The Uke conman Emperor Zee has already said that he will need $7Billion/month after that runs out.
Thanks to the 11. The rest GFY! it’s not Good For You.
Not too relevant, but who were the 3 not voting? We no longer have any evidence of “representative” government. I beginning to think voting is a waste of time. Look what’s going on in Allegheny County, PA with the vote. Some are saying we won’t know who won the Senate Republican primary for another week. Mail in voting needs to be eliminated and election “day” only be reinstated. This early voting trash has to stop.
The fate of $40 billion in Ukraine summed up in one movie scene
Just in time for the capitulation. Some travel money for Zelenskyy and his Nazi comrades.
Is a forensic financial audit to much to demand?
Time to go Sri Lanka on Congress!
I’m happy to see one of my senators on there, Mike Braun.
He’s a freshman senator and got caught up in the BLM thing. I sent him a scathing email, which he did respond to, and told him something akin to he needed to get his head right because he’s getting hoodwinked by BLM. It was a dangerous time to be making silly determinations.
I also said if he didn’t come to his senses, I would work tirelessly to make him a one term senator.
“An unrelenting stream of immigration, nonstop. Nonstop. Folks like me who are Caucasian of European descent for the first time in 2017 will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America. Absolute minority. Fewer than 50 percent of the people in America from then and on will be white European stock. That’s not a bad thing. That’s a source of our strength.”–Der NippleFuhrer from his RaceBunker
That’s about as good of an explanation of Replacement Theory as you can get from a Parkinson’s patient like Perp. Biden. He is, of course, the guy who just stole the votes of millions of minority Trump voters to install himself in office as a Civil Rights champion. Right.
Honest Elections ARE Civil Rights, you racist fraud.
Democrats BRAG openly and often about replacing Whitey–and then smear you for mentioning their cherished program of Ethnic Cleansing.
“How Dare You Quote Us!”
American Indians also believed there was a Replacement Theory, a plot to replace them with unlimited numbers of white immigrants. Wonder what gave them that crazy idea? Ask any Cherokee–besides Liz Warren.
They must have been watching Tucker.
The political attacks on Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik began while this
FBI BotMass Formation mental case was still shooting.The Regime Press instantly said “mainstream Republicans” were all shooters, too. And Tucker had somehow incited this nut case by quoting Democrats.
Except the teen called himself the “Authoritaian Left”. He praised Biden’s Elective War and our NAZI allies. He said he hated anti-war Fox people–people exactly like Tucker.
And nevermind that his Manifesto sounded more like, say, a middle-aged FBI agent than a crazy kid.
Why, it’s almost as if this was just another “Headquarters Special”. It has all the hallmarks of yet another pre-scheduled FBI/CIA Agit-Prop event except for the Filipino girlfriend and a suite at the Mandalay Bay.
That’s because the Official Demand for White Supremacist Brand(tm) shootings vastly outnumbers the actual amount, so they must be manufactured fresh to order, for all of your Regime’s Narrative Needs(tm)!
Divide and Conquer is their wicked plan. They want us to hate each other so they can remain in power. They love Race War as much as their Unlimited War. They love Race War like Charlie Manson on an brown acid trip.
Perv. Biden has gone from Suppression of black people to Suppression of white people.
The colors change–but the Racism remains.
Cracka, please.
“…Wut?”
Rest in the Vine: Life-long Racist OBiden Praises His Ethnic Cleansing “Replacement Theory” Plan
THIS^^^^^ YES!
And nothing for our own southern border. How Un-American.
11 Nays…. and the rest are purely pathetic. Printing away for our own demise. Can they really be that stupid to know what comes from this?
God help us.
Protecting the US borders would involve denying the democrat party, the RINOs and their globalist masters the demographic gerrymandering needed to prop up their fake elections and undermine national sovereignty.
Meanwhile gas and food are record highs in my area and many people I know are looking for second and third jobs to makes ends meet.
Need to invest in tar and feathers before we can’t afford them too.
86-11 to give billions borrowed from China to Ukraine and to he// with American citizens who are hurting. Lousy scum and greedy as sin. But hey, the voters keep voting them in. No fault except the voters willing to excuse the Senators who think they are much higher level human beings than the people who vote for them. They are horrible people. All of them.
This “aid” package funds the Ukrainian govt personnel and Ukraine citizens. Essentially it’s welfare payments for everyone in Ukraine. Question: has the US ever funded another government and it’s citizens? It would be one thing if Ukraine was a territory, but, it’s not. This is as anti-American as you can get.
Our government has become like this….
Not safe for work (bad language)
Loved Pryor. Good stuff!
Pray tell, what is their reason for voting “yes”?
For instance….big mouth Cruz! Mr. intellectual. Has he explained his vote?
I hope they are not going to pull the decades long teachers union stunt –
“its for the children”.
I am so angry.
I am sure Miss Lindsay Grahmnesty will be on Hannity tonight to explain his yes vote. It’s for the kids you know!
New Twitter warnings on misinformation coming.
I am so proud of my generosity out of my exceedingly deep pockets….
PAYOFF TO THE DEFENSE CONTRACTORS !!! THEY LOST $ BILLION A YEAR WHEN AFGHANISTAN WAS SHUTDOWN !!!
$30 TRILLION IN DEBT AND SPENDING MORE EVERYDAY !!
Tennessee is the only state that had both senators vote against it. I would like to move there someday.
Typical behavior from the US version of the House of Lords. They all suck.
I’m boiling mad! Both my fake-azz R Sinators voted for this abomination. My entire state 2022 budget is $39 billion. Where exactly tf do these crooks get off?!
At 10% for the “Big Guy” that is quite a tidy sum for FJB!
Excrement Joe (Hunter) saved his ass…from Burisma Corruption…and millions taken..
now… Ukraine cannot and will not open their mouth…
Congratulations…
They got a lots of chocolate…from us…taxpayers
In a mean time EU (me included as a member of Eu States) are laughing at as…did not put a cent
What a retarded & stupid are American people…
I am moving to Tennessee.
A lot of good folks are still trying to recover from Hurricane Ida in South Louisiana. Just saying.
Let me guess…..all the nay votes are up for reelection and were allowed to vote no.
What he said…
I remember seeing bumper stickers that said “we are out spending our children’s inheritance”. Usually tacked on a trailer with a boat or an RV.
Whenever I see a GOP elephant symbol, I will think of this.
It’s amazing how the congress critters can vote for 5+ billion when it serves their interests. A 5 billion wall for the peasants; not much. 86 traitors to the American republic.
plus a few up for reelection who got the nod to pretend they care…
Don’t you remember that fine display of Kabuki theater the GOP held at the border about a year ago? All those dramatic poses and serious faces.
You are being ungrateful. Now go away.
