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).
Graham, Mace and Scott betray us here in SC and if this is not proof we’re on our own then nothing but nothing will ever open your eyes.
They always place foreigners over the American people and we had better decide right the here and now if we’re going to bow to these traitors or take our lives back.
Replay of “Fall of the Roman empire.” Rome also fell due to massive corruption. We are likely finished!
Did you know that Washington DC was once called Rome?
One such place happens to be built on seven hills and is the capital of the United States of America, Washington DC. Not many people are aware of the fact that before this city got its current name of Washington DC, the capital was simply named after that other city on seven hills, Rome. Yes, that Capital that holds our Senate with the Roman Eagle and Roman Fascias to this current day is in fact an extension of what once was thought of has fallen, the Roman Empire.

Just remember we’re in an abusive relationship with our government. The beatings continue as long as they’re allowed to.
At some point the line in the sand for most will be drawn. Unfortunately we aren’t there yet. Let’s pray we reach the line before it’s too late and there’s no sand left!
Are any or all of the 11 “no” voting Republicans up for re-election in November?
Ok. Answered my own question.
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
All other GOP senators up for re-election voted Yes.
All Senate Republicans up for reelection in 2022:
Alabama: Richard Shelby (Retiring)
Alaska: Lisa Murkowski
Arkansas: John Boozman
Florida: Marco Rubio
Idaho: Mike Crapo
Indiana: Todd Young
Iowa: Chuck Grassley
Kansas: Jerry Moran
Kentucky: Rand Paul
Louisiana: John N. Kennedy
Missouri: Roy Blunt (Retiring)
North Carolina: Richard Burr (Retiring)
North Dakota: John Hoeven
Ohio: Rob Portman (Retiring)
Oklahoma: Jim Inhofe (Retiring): Special election to fill Inhofe’s final four years.
Oklahoma: James Lankford
Pennsylvania: Pat Toomey (Retiring)
South Carolina: Tim Scott
South Dakota: John Thune
Utah: Mike Lee
Wisconsin: Ron Johnson (Retiring)
Tuberville is not up for re-election. He voted No.
Shelby, however, voted yes- he is retiring and must have wanted more cash for his retirement coffers. He pushes Katie Britt for his replacement. I will NOT vote for her!
Yes. You and I posted at the same time. See my 2nd post directly above yours.
Sone Rinos in the Nay column. Must be up for re election.
Open to ideas on what we do to stop the total destruction of our country.
Voting and bellyaching is not working.
Given the low testosterone levels you keep hearing about, you are not going to get the pitchforks and bailing wire you are hoping for.
At the very least, you would think we could go hard on boycotting the left (everything Hollywood and entertainment, all media, etc). Even there you find people who “cry when they hear about people cutting the cable”.
We can’t even force ourselves to confront the reality of the GOP and 40 years of unbroken RINO control. The left has no real opposition and we are at the edge of the precipice with no space left to keep backing up.
I recall a wise columnist who opined that “congress is nothing more than 535 temple monkeys pawing through the ashes of America searching for bribes.”
And now, US troops back to the s***hole of somalia. No support for OUR flipping former border, but we can; no, we MUST spend and bleed for this crap. All of the garbage these a-holes have us involved in, and with no US “vital interest”, as they ignore the one glaring US vital interest…our own border. Obviously, our border security in not a vital interest to these traitors. So few lamp posts, so many necks.
. The House added an additional $7 billion
pelosi must be running low on booze and chocolate ice cream
What they used to about terrorists applies here :
” They hate us for our Freedoms “
I can think of no better reason to repeal the 17th Amendment than this betrayal. I am certain if Senators were still appointed by their State’s Legislature they would have voted differently. These criminals are supposed to represent their State’s interest, not the State of Ukraine – but Big Defense needed their payout (they have been envious of Big Pharma lately) so most of these DC cocktail party regulars gave away our money with full knowledge their campaign accounts would soon receive thirty pieces of silver. My elected representatives all voted yes – Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Rick Scott, and Representative Michael Waltz (whose largest campaign contributor is General Dynamics).
I am very disappointed in Marco Rubio and Rick Scott. I am definitely in favor of repealing the 17th Amendment and I would like to see the Free State of Florida initialize the process to get that repeal started.
I’m disappointed that nearly 13 years into those two’s polical careers people are JUST NOW finding disappointment.
If it’s in Florida politics and calling it’s self a republican and remotely towards the top of the parties trash heap.
You can bet it’s because they are all for social political democracy and NOT constitutional or conservative principle.
I’m very disappointed period. I’m gonna do exactly what they want me to…..I quit. No more voting for me. They don’t count me anyhow. I’m just done. Don’t give me any more bull sheet. I’m done….. I’ve heard it all, and I’m not gonna change my mind again. I never paid attention to what the media has ever said about the folks that are trying to collect as much ‘free’ money as they can, nor those trying to by power. I’m tired. We still hear the results before they are all counted, so why bother. If the media would just keep their yapps shut, maybe it would be a bit different, but at this point, I’m not sure. None of these people even care what the real people of the U.S. want, need or care about.
Please reconsider. I’m as frustrated as you are, but then I’m reminded God calls us to be faithful and to PERSEVERE to the end. He never qualified it with “unless things are rigged against you; then it’s ok to give up.”
We have to act worthy of heavens blessings, even when we want to punch out of life…..but seriously, I DO get your frustration but I won’t cancel myself–thats what Dems AND RINOs want…..
I REALLY DONT CARE IF DEMS RUIN THSID COUNTRY AND WORSE THAN THEY ARE DOIG. THEYSTOEL ELCTION FROM US. NWO WE SEE IT IS HAPPENING IN PENN. WE SEE ONES THAT TALK LIEK THEY R CONSERVATIVES BUTWHE THEY VOTE LIEK DEMOCRATES. I AM LIKE THEY LADY, AT MYAGE OF 76. IAM DONE TRYING. THE MONEY THEY VOTED FOR UKRAINE WILL GO I MOST OF THEIR POKETS BY LAUDERING MONEY FROM THE BILL.
TILL T6RUMP RUNS I WILL SIT IT OUT. IF HE DOESN’T RUNS. IAM DONE. IAM OLD MAN. NOT WORRYING ABOUT MORE OR BEATING M HEAD AGAINST THE WALL. I LEARNED IN 2020 AFTER I DONATED T O MANY HOW THEY REALL ARE.
DEO VINDICE
WELL SAID AN I CONCUR. I TO O WILL NEERV VTE AGAIN TILL DONALD TRUMP RUNS AGAIN. EVEN IFDEMS WIN. WE DONT KNWO WHAT THEYWANT TO DO. WE R JUST SEEING ONES WE THOUGHT WERE PATRIOTS SELLING US OUT SHOWING THEM SELVES AS TRUE RHINOS THERE ARE, GRAHAM, CRUZ ETC,,
Here here on the 17th… But let’s go MUCH further.
Why is Ted Cruz a yes vote?
Because he has no immediate need to pretend otherwise.
Because he is no different than Cornyn or any of the other RINOs. He has always been a globalist, one of the original ones under Bush the JR. Wake UP!!
It’s amazing isn’t it?
This guy can con with the best of them, and people still believe in him.
CRONYn.
#FIFY
Cruz also called the peaceful protesters at the January 6th false flag peaceful terrorists. He’s slimy in the same way that Lyndsay Graham is. Puts on a good show at times but is a treasonous snake. Talk is cheap, know them by their deeds.
Gerald Celente calls politics show business for ugly people. Most of the time it’s one big theater like Zelensky, the Servant of the People.
W said Putin invaded Iraq and the Russians are not democratic and jail their political opponents. Starting to sound oddly familiar.
Cause Ted ain’t a conservative
Because he voted “Yea”. Did you think he was going to vote No?
Really?
Ted’s in the club.
Ted in the club? Doesn’t matter. He’s only doing what the wife, Heidi Goldman Sachs Cruz, tells him.
Because Turd Crudz is a fraud.
Texan here.
This is no surprise for me.
I am not voting EVER AGAIN for either Cruz or Cornyn. I don’t care if f’in Marxists take their places. No more GOPe/RINOs for me. Six years of disaster would, at least, wake more people up and lead to better things (just as Obama led us to Trump).
Fellow Texan here. My hubby & I discussed this very thing on our way to early voting for primary runoff election. I won’t vote for either one-it makes absolutely no difference since neither of them support their constituents 🤬
Why is Tom Cotton?
Ted Cruz actually cast the Goodman Sachs vote as their proxy.
His lovely wife is a director at Goldman.
Ted Cruz is an arrogant slimy traitor, don’t you know by now!
He plays both sides
We have no that’s none representation
Why did Senator Risch from Idaho vote yes? Thought he was a true conservative. Guess not.
Because he probably has uncles Tom, Dick and Harry on the boards that oversee allocation and disbursement of the billions in ukraine. Hunter and the “big man” ain’t the only ones, there are plenty of teets on the ukrainian piggy bank.
Because cruz is now and always has been nothing but a snake oil salesman. Don’t fall for his fake conservative moments, because that is all it is, fake and moments.
Because too few people understand the difference between a Republican (social progressive democracy) and a Conservative (constitutional, limited government, liberty, fiscal responsibility).
We have a LOT of Republicans that like to “talk” about constitutional values and principles but toss those in a half second like liberals when they “feel” about something.
Common law doesn’t care about anyone’s feelings…
Ted Cruz has never been considered a conservative by anyone but those who seek to replace the definition.
Sundance exposed Cruz many times. One of several . . .
~~Ted Cruz Accuses President Trump of Being Reckless and Irresponsible – The Last RefugeThe Last Refuge ~ 2/1/21 ~ https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/02/01/ted-cruz-accuses-president-trump-of-being-reckless-and-irresponsible/
Ted Cruz was at the Maidan coup, he stated he was in his 2nd ever podcast during the 1st Impeachment, I believe somewhere in the half way point although I would have to listen again. He says everyone was there and if you were watching it take place live one would have seen everyone. I watched it.
Mr Cruz is invested.
When Trump brought up Ukraine, Biden and Crowdstrike, in late Summer 2019, you could sense the Uniparty freaked out. An impeachment was immediately teed up. A plandemic was triggered (Which had to require years of planning.). The Steal was agreed (Facilitated by the plandemic, and also requiring long planning.).
I believe Trump’s comments kicked all that off. Ukraine is the most corrupt country on earth, and the Uniparty is entangled comprehensively in that corruption. They can’t risk exposure, at any cost. So they got rid of Trump, and now they’re buying silence, and propping up their fellow conspirators.
McConnell knows that so many of us will vote for his fellow conspirators, I suppose. The Uniparty will do ANYTHING, which i pray we figure out someday.
Most of these senators insisted that we couldn’t afford a wall costing 15% that amount … to stop an invasion of our own country by MILLIONS of people. So in my view, every one of the senators who voted for this is now traitor. And when the time comes, they should be treated as such.
It’s long past time for them to be treated as such.
From Merriam Webster:
Definition of traitor
1 : one who betrays another’s trust or is false to an obligation or duty.
That’s it, right there!
I would debate if he is at fault or if we are at fault. I think these people are obvious before being elected.
Unless no one is listening, or everyone prefers to be lied to.
The voting contrast that you posted is probably the most sickening truth of all. These Senators would have to be imbeciles not to see the betrayal of their own voters that these 2 contradictory votes demonstrated.
It’s obvious how little they care about their voters when Americans are facing so many economic and other challenges. Some of them fear McConnell’s wrath more than their voters. I hope a few at least can still be primaried out of DC.
Tribunals. There is only ONE verdict.
Really good point.
Remember, “Ukraine is the new Israel” according to David Rothschild.
David, junior.
FY Rubio and Scott.
That doesn’t reflect well on Israel.
100%
So back when it was Vietnam we were funding, there were SIX Senators firmly opposed.
Pretty slow progress if you ask me……….Soon we’ll be dead if we don’t learn how to remove all these weasels
from office en masse. LAUNCH A NATION-WIDE VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS OUT EFFORT……LET’S REALLY DO THIS.
Unbelievable. ….
So Ted Cruz thought this bill was good enough? Unbelievable…
Mickeys all around!
Another 100 million is already on deck for the Fourth Reich.

Daily Report from the Ukraine Field for 2022-05-19
–
The MSM’s Ukraine neo-Nazi Amnesia
NaziCrats are in both parties in our Country.
Oust them!
Their allegiance is historical & speaks for itself.
Interesting that Ron Johnson from WI, and supposedly a conservative warrior, voted for this. His reelection managers must have told him if votes against this, his reelection will be in more jeopardy than it already is.
The fraud out of Dane and Milwaukee counties will take him out in Nov anyway. Why be a coward? Very disappointing, just like Scott Walker.
What happens to these people? Either they were full of crap pretending to be conservative warriors or they are full of crap now. Either way they are full of crap.
Re your first para.: There are many people who are on Ukraine’s side, especially I notice it with my church friends. They aren’t much into the news.
Quislings
R J is in the turtle clique.
I had hope for Ron John. Now I won’t shed a tear when an idiot like Mandela beats him.
Im so happy my senator barrASSo got to see his Ukrainian constituents while their leader was dissolving the other political parties, along with seizing their assets. Meanwhile gas and food prices are going through the roof along with housing costs here in WY.
Yes, I was surprised that Barrasso said he had been to Ukraine several times in the past. I didn’t realize he had such interest there.
When I asked him about a previous “aid” package to Ukraine, he gave me the leftist slant:
“Putin wants to put together the old Soviet Union, no matter how many innocent lives it costs. If he is not stopped, it will have global impacts. Our adversaries are carefully monitoring our response. The United States must act decisively and show strong leadership.”
He needs to go.
😃 lol
I’m sure this will make Mark Levin very happy.
Mark Levin has his fortune. Why should he care about those of us who do not?
Reuters: It is expected that Biden will sign an executive order for an additional $100 million in the next few hours to include radar and ammunition for artillery.
Reuters: The United States is working on organizing the supply of long-range anti-ship missiles to Ukraine to lift the blockade of the Black Sea.
Only 11 Republicans care about this country, the southern border, the US taxpayers and those who pay inflation tax.
F the Uniparty
GLOBALISTS!
Hey voter , we’re the GOP ……. how’s about you send us some money so we can really clan up the swamp …. next time.
Not one dime . Add them to the pile.
GOP
Kelloggs
NFL
NASCAR
Etc.
” clean ” …. but clan is what they are.
I just grazed thru the comments and see that there are several here that see the obvious. Next Tuesday is primary elections in Arkansas. Boozman is up against a former AR Razorback and veteran. He HAD to be let off his leash on this vote. One good vote out of six years…
Sorry, Boozman does NOT get my vote next week.
The ” designated eleven ”
Same old trick to fool the masses.

I am proud to say that both of my Senators and my Congressman (Tennessee) voted against this most recent installment of the payoff money to Zelinsky and Co. I hope Republican voters are taking down names and will remember this betrayal. I could get behind term limits and/ or a repeal of the 17th. Modern congressional performance has been abysmal, these bums work, at best, 12 days a month when in session. I fear that our system is so perverted now that there isn’t much hope for meaningful repair.
I called Rubio’s offices today. Of course, I had to leave a message as no one answered the phone. I told him I was not happy with his vote on money for Ukraine. I also told him to stop asking me for money; that if he wants money to ask Ukraine.
Rubio is supposed to go on a “listening tour” around Florida this month. I hope he gets an earful of complaints. I doubt it will make any difference though as Rubio already has his share of our money.
I lived in Florida when Little Marco first ran and voted for him. I don’t remember who was running against him and I probably wouldn’t have voted for them, but just disappointed that I wasted a vote on this little twerp. He should have stopped to take a drink two times and lost the election!
Rubio needs one earful of shyt, and one full of grief, not merely complaints.
Rubio is up for re-election.
way to Tennessee. Both Senators voted nay. Surprised, but pleasantly.
Dear President Trump , I strongly suggest that you do not endorse anyone who voted for this.
( If you’re on Truth Social , pass it on )
I see Burr and Tillis voted yes. Not surprised in those 2 rats. They prove once again that they do not give a crap about NC citizens or the Republic.
Dont get all warm and fuzzy over the “Hawley 11” who voted against this as some of their reasoning….well….might come as a surprise. Just checked my in box, and low and behold, I received this reply from sen lummis a few hours ago from a letter about much the same I wrote to her awhile ago. Here is her reasoning:
“I think our country needs to continue to support Ukraine during this invasion, in a fiscally responsible manner, and I closely reviewed the appropriations request with my colleagues. I chose to vote against this funding request because I am concerned about how irresponsibly spending, above what the President requested, will hurt our own economic situation in the United States.”
Your president is already killing the US economy, lady, but why do you support the corrupt biden and zelensky admins?????
We need to start pushing for the 16th and the 17th Amendments to be repealed
That should be our new mantra.
That’s fine except “All Traitors Must Hang” needs to be added.
I’m so disappointed in Senator Kennedy with his yes vote.
Hard same. I called his office more than once about it.
Republicans – this is the Party Bannon is driving his
posse’ to become part of – oh, I forgot they are going
to take over the Party. Think we heard this from the
Tea Party.
Should have developed an alternative group not loyal to any party
just the country. But here we are.
Im guessing Marco Rubio and Rick Scott will be lining their pockets from the Ukraine laundry machine. How can Frassley justify his vote?
Kat, an A+…congratulations!
You are very modest saying that you are guessing. 😉
The folks in West Virginia are being devastated by Biden’s economy; yet Manchin shows his true colors by voting for this debacle. Capito is just a hack.
I never had any hope for Moore-Capito; after all, she is Arch’s daughter.
She is not a Nationalist First American.
Oops — America First Nationalist.
With the Luhansk Front showing growing signs of crumbling, the PR Kharkov counter attack looking to be encircled and the threat of a Russian drive towards Kiev, we can see why they were so quick to pass this boondoggle. Pretty soon they won’t have the opportunity to use it.
That voting Repub thingy ain’t working comrades.
Does anyone have a Plan B?.
texitnow org
tnm me
When only 11% of your Senators vote to not bankrupt their country, you know your in the last phase of the empire.
Happy one Senator from Alabama voted no. Here’s hoping we replace the retiring Shelby with another Senator willing to buck the uniparty.
From Interfax. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal says that Ukraine needs at least $15 billion over the next three months to cover the operational needs of the budget, and calls on the G7 countries to provide Ukraine with urgent funding.
Anyone have a link to the house vote tally ?
Brilliant move – like a turd in a punch bowl.
We find out every day who the traitors are, don’t we? And on the list of Nays, there’s a few RINOs, so must’ve been a “political vote” rather than a moral one. Our government is so lost.
Horrible overlords.
I’m in Ma., taxed without representation. I called Marky and Warren and told them they should be ashamed of themselves for what they are doing to our country etc. Why do I bother to call them.
I called Susan Collins and said why don’t you just have the stones to say what you are, a corrupt democrat.
I called Lindsy Graham and said I’d have more respect for him if he came to my house and punched me in the face rather than screw me and my country.
I went to Mittens site where there are mostly pictures of himself…didn’t get a local number.
I felt like I was getting madder with each call so I stopped.
I did call Tubbervilles office earlier today and spoke with a nice kid. I said I’m in Ma. surrounded
by people who believe all is Putins fault 🙄, I mentioned the WHO pandemic treaty and he said it has to be voted on by House/Senate otherwise it’s no good and that it looks like it’s not going to happen anyway.
So idk. For now I’m making chicken.
The sad part is this is only for 5 months. Graham let the cat out of the bag. This is going to be a monthly. thing. We are being sold out and there is 6 months left to go. Actually 9 months.
No matter who I vote for this election cycle, it’s clear I’m voting for a Democrat, therefore I am casting my vote for whoever is against Cornyn and Cruz. If they want to destroy this country, let’s get it over with as quickly as possible.
Where is Ted Cruz?
Just read that Gen. Mark Milley telephoned Russia’s First Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, General of the Army Valery Gerasimov. Why was Milley calling? Lloyd Austin got nowhere with his call to Shoigu.
