Republican senators Boozman, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cramer, Crapo, Hoeven, Ernst, Grassley, Kennedy, McConnell, Moran, Murkowski, Romney, Rounds, Sullivan, Thune, Tillis, Wicker, Young, and Cornyn all voted to send $95 billion to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan to protect their borders while leaving our borders unprotected.
This is the UniParty in all its glory:
Most people just don’t realize the nature of the opposition we face. ¹The elected representatives simply don’t care what our opinion is, they will do whatever serves their interests and too hell with the voters.
WASHINGTON DC – The Senate approved $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan aid by a 70-29 vote early on Tuesday morning, sending the bill to an uncertain fate in the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson is giving the legislation a frosty reception.
Despite a last-ditch effort from conservative opponents of the bill, Johnson‘s cold water and former President Donald Trump’s attempts to kill the legislation, Republican support for the deal actually grew overnight, with 22 GOP senators voting in favor of the package — a kind of rejection of those in the party, like Trump, who argued any aid should be structured as a loan. (read more)
¹Now, imagine if we had some simultaneous triggering mechanism that could abruptly initiate a total work stoppage, a general labor strike, in the states or hometowns of the aforementioned senators. Perhaps that would get their attention.
At least there are a few states where both senators held the interests of their voters in mind. Florida, Missouri, Vermont, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Nebraska all voted against the Ukraine spending bill.
Kennedy. What a disappointing snake.
His clever one-liners don’t make him a patriot. They make him a joke!
Master of hiding behind corn pone.
Another lawyer.
His corn pone needs to be eaten by a gator.
Both senators from my state – both RINOs and both uniparty. Cassidy and Kennedy. Ugghhh
They will probably be pressuring the other LA big deal — Speaker Johnson. Hold firm, Mr. Speaker, your country needs you!
I just emailed Kennedy and told him he was a lying RINO and to please resign!
I was surprised to see his name on the list of traitors!
Second time in memeory, recent memory, call his office flood his mailing
Call him out – to his face. They need to feel like they are being hunted.
He is a former Democrat that switched to RINO. He also takes Gates money. Kennedy is a snake for sure.
Kennedy is disappointing, but for me:
#CornynBad4Texas
John Cornyn sucks.
Just another career politician, would you expect anything less? Kennedy and the others are stuffing their pockets with millions of our tax dollars and even more of the fiat dollars we print out of thin air.
“To hell with the voters” Sundance, from your mouth to god’s ear.
I keep trying to tell you – these people are not the fiduciary deputies that you assume them to be. They are the corporate board of directors for a British Crown corporation to whom you have give your proxy vote. Now that they have it, they are free to ignore you and pursue their for-profit corporate interests. The Americans won the Revolutionary War, but the Toreys (British Territorials) stayed behind under the auspices of the Residence Act to pursue their business interests; they weaseled themselves back into positions of power and control and have been running the freak show for the benefit of international corporate interests since the Civil War.
Born Americans, you were unlawfully converted back into British subjects when your birth was registered. And that was only the beginning of the fraud against living Americans. How many members of your “Congress” are BAR Attorneys (British Accredited Registry)? They hold foreign titles (Esquire) and are unregistered foreign agents unless they have filed under FARA. Who is their genuine allegience to? (Hint: it isn’t you.) The Brits are running America like they ran The Raj in India. The people there finally had had enought and kicked them the ‘ef out.
Now it’s our turn. “We did it once before, and we can do it again.” Well past the time, rather. Restore the lawful Republic.
The American States Assembly (americanstatenationals.org)
Piss off.
Said the British Territorial U.S. Citizen. I’m free; you’re not. Enjoy your indentured servitude.
Kennedy likes to throw out the one liners but folds like a cheap suit.
Yes he does.
So he’s all talk and no action? Sounds like Trey Gowdy.
Talk is cheap, ones actions speaks volumes.
Every one of these corrupt rino pieces of human garbage should be getting drilled by every person in their state until such time a full work storage ends their careers.
BRING BACK TAR AND FEATHERING!!!🇺🇸
Good start….I’m thinking Guillotine.
I am not sure we have enough.
The noose and gallows.
That’s what should happen, but it sounds like there are too many that will simply throw their hands up in the air, give up, and help them permanently destroy this nation.
And the DENTON COUNTY GOP UNIPARTY in Texas hired RINO Cornyn to be the KEYNOTE speaker at its Let Freedom Ring dinner at the Embassy Suites on 2/10. Let that sink in!!!!
Denton County is a two college town. That should say it all….I did my undergrad at one of ’em.
Tennessee has Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty as US Senators. Thank Goodness!
Whoa. They aren’t all that. Lot of talk, little activity.
I was worried about Katie Britt because she was Turtles choice, but she has been taking her ques from Coach Tuberville. So right now Alabama is in good hands.
No surprise there and neither was his vote. If mcconnel would turn a corner it would break cornyn’s neck because his head is so far up the low end.
Did you see his response to AG Paxton’s criticism of his vote? He called it Russian disinformation. 🤡

Mitch McConnell Slipped A ‘Hidden Impeachment Clause’ Against Trump Into Ukraine Spending
“Crafted in secrecy by McConnell and Senate GOP leadership, that legislation included roughly three times as much funding for Ukraine than U.S. border security and sought to effectively enshrine Biden’s existing border crisis into law.
“According to Vance, the package includes a provision that would not only allow the “foreign policy blob” to pour U.S. taxpayer dollars into Ukraine well into Trump’s potential second term, but it would also provide congressional Democrats with a bogus reason to impeach the former president (again) should he follow through on his pledge to end the ongoing conflict.
“…the aforementioned Ukraine funds “expire on September 30, 2025 — nearly a year into the possible second term of President Trump,”
https://thefederalist.com/2024/02/12/ohio-sen-j-d-vance-mitch-mcconnell-slipped-a-hidden-impeachment-clause-against-trump-into-ukraine-spending/
Trump can just divert the billions from Congressional funds to go to Ukraine.
McConnell has got to go
They complain about the small “border security” funding – but any amount of any kind is a sham – no “security” just money for more efficient processing of illegal aliens. So the lesser the better.
And watch out in the House; we’ve seen this movie before. “DOA/not gonna happen/this is an insult/yadayadayada…” Then days or weeks later, when no one is paying any attention, or focused on something else, the zombie bill that was dead, quietly slips through to become the law of the land.
I don’t care what they say. I’m gonna watch what they do. A-hem, Mister Speaker?
Johnson will cave.
God I hope not
Mr No Nads Biblical Worldview
Of course, they always do. They put on the show and then “Hey Rocky!” “Yes Bullwinkle?” “Watch me pull another screw the American tax payer in the ass scam out of my hat!”
We need to be hounding them all and make them feel like the hunted! They need to fear us, and be constantly looking over their shoulder in fear that we are coming for them.
Time to go on offense.
The Big Club’s little insulating bubble needs bursting.
Who do they think they are?
^^^^^^^^🎯
Winner!
This is the punishment for We The People, The Forgotten Men and Women…..for not going along with their TDS. They are not done with us yet, or Trump, IMHO.
Don’t kid yourself, that bunch would have done it regardless of who was running for president.
I’m getting the strangest sense of deja vu.
😉 😎
Searching for the right word for this one, Mo.
“Powerful” seems inadequate.
It has stopped me in my tracks.
Folks should flood ever single Senator that voted for the bill those words…multiple times.
Yeah, what tax money anyway? You mean borrowed money, mortgaged future for citizens.
Treason, in other words.
I sent the above to Thom Tillis. They wouldn’t allow the actual picture, but I did quote the actual words. Thanks, Betsy.
Most welcome, Deborah. Though I must say if Tillis is like my reprehensible senator (small “s”)…and they are cut from the same cloth… he’ll never see it.
They are a bunch of people who are drunk on power and ego trips.
And compromised by the DS/IC.
Compete with the poison pill to impeach Trump should he use funds as leverage in diplomatic efforts.
From what I read credit to Johnson in the house who won’t table it for a vote.
Trying to stymie “The Art of the Deal” and a peaceful world.
I think it would be ruled unconstitutional , but the bill is horrific!!
Constitution? They don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution. They are our very own banditos.
And leverage seems to work. Once Trump said NATO members who don’t pay their fare share won’t be helped and let Russia do whatever hell they want to to do the delinquent Country.
Germany quickly cough up the 2%.
They can’t impeach if they don’t control the House.
PDJT could also use the funds to buy them slingshots, rocks, and clubs and say “Here you go boys, your military aid.”
Of course, this is all IF it ever sees the light of day in the House and IF the House doesn’t strip away that and much more if it does see the light of day.
Pleased to see no Fl Senators for a change.
It’s a good sign that Florida has probably become to red for them to think they could get away with that $hit!
I sent a message to both Scott and Rubio last week telling them that I appreciated their stand on the bill. Scott I kinda like, Rubio, not so much. They both held firm, but like the “Dance” says, they think they are showing you a choice. It’s a game…Fist ‘Em. Everyone needs to contact these (people)? and let them know your feelings. Whether you are in their district, state, or atmosphere…CONTACT THEM WITH YOUR DISGUST!!!!
Never, ever trust a Kennedy. They are all venomous snakes in the grass. May he never RIP.
the politicos do not respect, because they do not understand THE PEOPLE.
this will be a grave mistake.
God Bless America
Idk, I think they understand, they’re corrupted but mostly compromised.
My garbage senators voted for this. One in on the senate intelligence committee and the other is a kiss donkey of Mitch McConnell. We can’t get rid of these people. (Idaho)
One of my Senators is one of Mitch’s b******
One of mine is Mitch. 🤑
One of mine is The Fake Indian. The other one escaped from the morgue.
Could be worse : both of mine are ‘selected’ democrats in a red state run by a ‘selected’ Democrat governor!
There are two bitches in there I have skin in the game on. So not pleased, nor surprised.
Mine too. Smelly More Crapito. (sellout WV)
Call them out – make them feel the heat of your displeasure! Hound them to the point (get others to help out) until they begin looking over their shoulders.
This is what we did to James Lankford and Mark Wayne Mullin in OK. Write letters, email and phone calls! Be polite but firm they work for you and you do not agree to how they are representing you!
It’s time to go on offense.
The pathetic misfits supporting this bill are only chasing the kickback, they know time is running out.
Kickback club strikes again.
I’m not worried about because I’d be pretending if I did.
No takes my handle “VoteAllIncumbantsOut”. Seriously anyway. Using on here since 2015
There’s about 140 in the House, as well, with a couple of dozen right up there at the top.
And, three are from Florida. Go back to the Jordan vote and you’ll see.
Just sayin’…So, don’t brag about us Crackers yet.
Tennessee rocks.
Mississippi? WTH? Roger Wicker sounds like a complete ignoramous.
That is some serious prostitution right there. Got more clients than Belle Watley.
Wicker has worn knee pads since the day he entered the Senate, just like Tillis.
If you know people who live in these areas, please let them know how their Senator voted>>>> and when they are up for re-election.
They need to vote certain ways at certain times so when it comes time for reelection they can cherry pick enough to get morons to vote for them.
Kabuki theater. They weren’t required for this scene to happen.
Totally agree.
Oh it is my turn to look like I have a moral compass!
Grace Chong (Bannon’s warroom) puts their numbers out. Call them, write them, email them (I use their local office numbers so I can talk to a real person) and while polite, I am FIRM about how they need to vote.
OK Senators changed their vote on the Senate bill and I’m sure it’s because they were overwhelmed with calls.
^
Cornyn voted Yay. He follows McConnel’s lead like a little puppy on a leash, and I have told him so on more than one occasion.
Cornyn voted for the bill.
Primary every one of them – regardless of part affiliation.
Vote all incumbents out – regardless of party affiliation.
Straight-ticket nonincumbent voter here for over a decade.
You can also get with your State and County GOP offices and insist on censuring them for violating Republican Party platform.
We CAN make a difference! We may not have a way (yet) of boycotting them, but censure (withholding “party” money) and public shaming is a good place to start.
You need to know there are some state and county GOP offices that have shameless staff. The whore houses can be pretty big in some states.
Once they have sold their souls to the Uniparty, they no longer need us, the voters.
They will be re-selected as long as they play their part as assigned.
You can get with the County and State GOP in your area and start a movement to censure them and make it VERY PUBLIC.
That is what gets to them. When they are publicly called out and money is withheld.
Good idea
SD and Idaho are screwed. BOTH of their Senators voted for this crap in each state.
wow. Get on it, SD and ID voters.
Heh Heh, Senator Crapo, heh heh heh!
What if this inexplicable post by the ones propping and prompting the drooling fool is
a comment on the ex filtration of USA wealth to the never ending gob stopper pig slop trough that is Ukraine?
The Senate acted in semi stealth on Sunday and this post was on Sunday.
McConnell must be the largest porker in US history!
Funds for Israel and Taiwan were just excuses ……

Johnson said he was gonna block it, but I ain’t holding my breath.
House just passed impeachment of Mayorkis so maybe there’s hope. There’s always hope, right?
Let’s just hope that the impeachment is not a “look here, squirrels.”
Focus on what Johnson does regarding the Senate bill. 👀
If he even lets it go the floor for a vote, that will be the ‘tell.’
This, this, and more this. As soon as I saw the senate vote I wondered what bone they’d throw us. Have to be something so we don’t side eye the pitchforks.
A diversion from the Bobolinski testimony!
ON THIS VOTE, THE YEAS ARE 214. THE NAYS ARE 213. THE RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED.
PURSUANT TO HOUSE RESOLUTION 996, HOUSE RESOLUTION 995 IS HEREBY ADOPTED.
H RES 996 Passed Providing for consideration of the resolution (H.Res. 863) Impeaching Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, for high crimes and misdemeanors, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 485) Protecting Health Care for All Patients Act (On Agreeing to the Resolution)
H RES 996 Passed Providing for consideration of the resolution (H.Res. 863) Impeaching Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, for high crimes and misdemeanors, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 485) Protecting Health Care for All Patients Act (On Ordering the Previous Question)
The impeachment passed by 1 (one) vote!!!
He will cave.
That’s what I think too. We’ll see though.
One thing about him – due to his position people from any state can apply pressure.
Lankford must have gotten a boat load of phone calls and emails from OK voters.
Go, Oklahoma voters!
Yeah, I don’t think it’s the voters as voters that they responded to – we still have the election machines and dirty voter rolls. But Sundance points out that regardless of elections, just the visible rage of the people reminds the representatives that there are other ways for local people to make their lives miserable. They back off as most people would when approaching a beehive who, without knowing bee language, are quite aware of the meaning of the rising level of buzzing: zzzzZZZZZZZZ!ZZZ!ZZZZ!
Thank you! We did – and Mark Wayne Mullin voted No on the Senate bill, too. We got together at the county and State GOP level and made as many phone calls, sent emails and letters and INSISTED they vote properly.
Lankford was censured – very publicly. I think that is part of the answer to Sundance’s “protest” suggestion. We need to get with our local GOP, make the calls, send the letters and publicly call these scumbags out
Well thank you very much! I’ve contacted Lankford on certain occasions and it never made a difference so this is a big win.
Sad we have to keep them scared in order for them to do what should come naturally.
Thanks for your reply, Jannb!
That is really good news!!
Todd Young. Indiana

Unsurprising results for Collins (U-ME), and King (U-ME).

…they will do whatever serves their interests and too hell with the voters.
Sometimes typos are too perfect!
Perzactly
We will all remember those names….and vote them out!
Replace “voters” with “citizens” and this sums it up.
Our. System. Doesn’t. Work. Constitution rehab NOW. Too many loopholes, too much trust and reliance on an election honor system not made for today’s candidates. No more directly handing these clowns our revenue. .
Now Johnson may decide to play with fire. Republican congressmen won’t have to wait that long for their elections.
They WANT to lose Congress. It’s the middle finger to Trump if he manages to win again.
– $14 billion for Israel
– $9.15 billion humanitarian assistance for Gaza, West Bank, Ukraine & other conflict zones
Feeding both sides…
NO humanitarian assistance for anyone either – let the Middle East countries provide it, their neighbors. Let EU provide it, their neighbor.
Meanwhile the house finally voted to impeach mayorkas. Now does rhe doa bill become a bargaining chip?
“If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders – What would you tell him?”
“I…don’t know. What…could he do? What would you tell him?”

I agree with my senator that McConnell must go, he’s been a senator since 1985. On to the House where Johnson has said he will not bring it to the floor for a vote… isn’t there something called a Discharge Petition that Democrat Jeffries can bring to the floor to force a vote on the 95 billion?
I’m just across the river and if I outlive the turtle, and he is buried in KY and not China, I hope to water his grave…
😂😂. Can I help?
Absolutely!
It would evaporate before it reached him – brimstone is hella hot.
A discharge petition is a procedural maneuver to over-ride Johnson and bring the bill out of committee to a floor vote against Johnson’s wishes.
The discharge petition requires 218 votes, which means at least a handful of republicans need to be willing to defy the GOP leadership. Historially the discharge petition has only rarely been successful.
Another fly in the ointment for them is not all democrats are in favor of the bill (maybe up to 12 democrats) which would increase the number of GOP they need to get to 218.
Sunrei, thx for confirming, I reviewed this procedure today. We have to hope that God is truly on Johnson’s side and he stays the course on behalf of We the People and the legal voting majority… i stopped counting the traitors in the House of Congress decades ago
Quick reminder…Oh and Yeah McConnell needs to go. Consider that in 1985 is the start date of The Cold War…
Biden has been at the government trough since 1972….(I was in grade school)…put that in perspective…
The Terror attack at the Munich Summer Olympics…

You believe him? I will wait and see.
Instead of waiting, keep calling him – he’s the SotH, all can call.
There will be a hard time stoping work in Virginia. Frick and Frack are more than wed to the deep state. I cannot see Ironworkers in Newport News staying home.
Just so we are tracking how absolutely OWNED these snakes are, consider the following:

Many are purchased with insider trading deals/lobbying gigs/jobs for their families.
Some may be blackmailed – remember Epstein and the Chinese cat houses in DC!
And for more blackmail available to the deep state/Military Industrial Complex – the NSA knows EVERY web site you and ANYONE in your household has ever visited – shame if that info ever go out!
We have a long row to hoe fellow Treepers. Just keep working those local and state GOP orgs and before we know it, this Tree of Liberty may flower again!
“Some may be blackmailed”… I think you’re onto to something. I believe that’s the number one method of control in DC.

Scott and Graham. I’d have waged that the warmonger Graham would have been on the Yea side.
He’s a smart politician. He knows the Ukraine will get the money in the end but he knows the base will not accept this bill the way it is.
in fairness to warongering in practice, Lindsey said he’d gladly make it a loan but with deadlier weapons for ukraine to default on.
Israel would just say we don’t need a loan. lol
They have a primary coming soon!

Of course, it is the defining feature of representative democracy.

I hate the RNC more than I hate the DNC…Lord have mercy…
That’s a toss up.
I will have to agree on being very disappointed in Kennedy (LA) for this stand and have to wonder what in the hell is he thinking. Sigh, I suppose he thinks we will forgive and forget when he comes up to another election in 2028.
On Cassidy(LA), I totally expected his alignment with the administration and Democrats and will never vote for him again. Censure by the LAGOP didn’t earn us any leeway into his opposition votes and Cassidy is flaunting his rebellion in our faces.
Both Senators Kennedy and Cassidy will not face election in 2024, lookout Cassidy for 2026 cause you going down, down, down. I doubt many old RINOs will be around to give support to Kennedy in 2028 and by that time I don’t think he cares. 😛
He wasn’t thinking, he was counting his cash.
The only reason the OK Senators voted (correctly) against that bill is because a LARGE number of OK citizens found out about James Lankford and Mark Wayne Mullin plans to vote for it and we called, wrote letters and sent emails telling them that we would primary them OUT if they voted to give Ukraine one more dime.
Don’t give them credit! Steve Bannon’s Grace Chong has been posting the Senator’s direct numbers and talking about how these traitors are voting.
I was polite and told the young man who answered Mark Wayne Mullin’s phone that I had met Mullin while he was campaigning and it would be difficult for me to believe that he could in good conscious vote to send my money to the corrupt country Ukraine! I was very forceful about how WRONG that action is, and under NO circumstances should he even consider it.
I didn’t threaten him, but made it plain that was the wrong thing to do. When the vote came in, Senator Mullin had changed his vote on the previous day to advance the bill, to a NO.
I have to say, that I fully resent having to dog these scumbags and watch every move they make, then spend my time calling and writing to them! I work, I have family to take care of and I would like to have some time off. Instead, I have to watch these creeps like a HAWK and put them on speed dial.
Plenty big mad about it, but if we would ALL watch Bannon, get with Grace Chong and make sure we have the phone numbers and hound the scum, then maybe they would start looking over their shoulder and be scared to show their faces in public!
Well done, Jann! This Texan transplant living in OK thanks you.
Johnson better not bring this crap to the floor
He will or he will allow the dems to do the dirty work and not block anyone in his conference from voting with the Dems. Pelosi would never allow it…she would deep six any Dem who did not go along with her. Repubs are weak soy boys.
Contact him and let him know your views.
Yes, Kennedy, I just unsubscribed to any solicitation email from him! Very disappointing!
