Question ? If foreign aid is taxation? What is foreign aid laundered via kickbacks deposited in the Caymans? Taxation without compensation?
The kickbacks to members of Congress or their families are really just a negotiated in advance form of bribery! Compensation without taxation! Sweet deal for them!
Embezzlement. Foreign aid is the embezzlement pipeline.
I would not be surprised in the least if this was true! Let’s throw money like confetti!
It’s called THEFT.
Fed from Ukraine and others.
Damn right and it would just be terrible if someone got hold of his financial records
does the city provide garbage cans for these sidewalk camps?
If they did, and I am sure some do, it would NOT change the behavior in the homeless encampments. The druggies camp and litter wherever because they know they can get away with it, unless it is an election year! Government as usual! We used to spend time in San Francisco, but no longer — people are having their car windows smashed out all over the city so that the indigents can purloin anything of value to sell on the street for drugs. The square is FILTHY dirty everywhere and not safe after dark. The overpasses to and from SF are also inhabited and as grungy as the city is. Hopeless until Republicans repurpose themselves as the party they used to be, not the well-fed and fancy R’s now in “power.”
or porta potties?
Yes they are called the sidewalk. It also doubles as their toilet and their drug-shooting zone.
You accept and tolerate this, what else would you expect. I use “you” in the editorial sense not personal sense. By God if it was not being tolerated it would cease to exist.
Rent controlled? Or greedy politicians?
Resembles most large US cities, poop, vomit, spent drugs everywhere and nothing done (other than self-righteous blathering by gov’t officials), city or state, almost as if they have a death wish for the USA! Alas, they DO!
So many many many other places that money should go— homeless, border, Hawaii, deporting illegals and bet many of you can add to the list.
Hey I do believe that probably over 1/2 of the DC lawmakers have their hands in the Ukraine cookie jar.
The money should not “go” anywhere. It should stay right where it is. Because every penny of that money must be borrowed and added to the national debt. Much of it is borrowed from China.
The whole system of asset confiscation [which the crime syndicate in DC calls “taxation”) is illegal, unconstitutional, and immoral.
Amen and Amen! It’s the source of all our government’s corruption! JMO
So what? Do you really think “our representatives” give a crap? Come on man. The only time they care is around election time. They take our money and do what they want with it. Nothing will change until WE ALL STOP FEEDING THE MONSTER .
Bubby, if you bite the hand that feeds you????there is a learning curve and you may be hunting for your next meal soon.

gotta wonder, how much of that 60 billion, comes back to the Mass Corruption Complex and its stakeholders?
I imagine, 60 billion in “aid” to Ukraine, amplifies and becomes 600 billion, perhaps 6000 billion (6 trillion?) when washed through the globalist system of mass corruption
child trafficking, organ harvesting, election buying, war-making, weapons selling, biolab cooking, spiritual warfare, replacement invasion

May he plane go down ☺
You had better hope Kameltoe is flying with him.
But then I guess it really doesn’t matter.
Rand is right. Also some people should go to Ukraine to see what Mitch is doing.
He’s making sure he collects his cut.
Is he flying in an air ambulance? The man can barely stand and looks like death is at his doorstep.. his wife just lost her sister. He has zero business going anywhere!!
They all gag me!
He may be considered low brow to some on this site, but, watch Bongino’s pod cast of 2/14.
Nobody listened to him years ago. Maybe now?
Bongino is a patriot
Bongino is “spot on” in that podcast! Ties everything together. It’s well worth watching!
I’ve never considered Bongino low brow but he does avoid some things I think are important, especially when it comes to Trump. That’s his prerogative, it’s his pod cast and we each can decide if we want to watch it.
Has it ever dawned on Bitch McConnell he might be too old to spend it?
None of them seem to care about that, just one more thing to wonder about.
Going to Ukraine on the taxpayer’s dime to promise billions in taxpayer dollars. And Uniparty Congress passes a bill expanding the IRS to make sure they ring every penny out of us. Cold hard anger.
I see some of you despise Rand Paul. Why? I’m somewhat neutral about the guy. I appreciate that he refused to vote for this foreign aid bill (Senate Amendment #1388) and also the prior version with the 8500+ illegals per day quota. What has he voted for or against that makes anyone hate him? I ask this as a completely neutral question, fact-seeking, not a challenge to start an argument.
BECAUSE SMALL PEOPLE NEED SOMEONE TO PICK ON, TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BIG.
There are, sadly, quite a number who frequent here, who really don’t have the capacity to think outside the group, or what they perceive is the group. The very idea of thinking for themselves is a threat, because they have abdicated responsibility for their own conscience to an ideology.
THIS. Those people tend to also like AJ, Q, and think trump is a perfect god and no one else comes close. Fanatics
👁️
Yeah I know, I’m being actively censored for daring to say things that challenge the group think.
His name was Robert Paulson – right?
I like Alex Jones and no one does come close to Trump, though calling him a “god” is bridge to far.
Trump is perfect, in every way that matters and no one else even comes close. He’s not a God though.
And yet you show up with two cohorts to insult us Treepers.
Y’all are so funny. And predictable. And stupid.
🎯
….or to what they read/watch
lacking critical thinking skills
So you are saying that all small people should sit down and shut up? How tall is your mother, or grandmother?
Not every short person is a Napoleon Bonapart. PS: I am 6 ft. My wife is 5-2 and one grandmother was 4-10.
Bravo.
True. If you deviate from the “Treeper” line, many here will viciously attack you, call you a never Trumper, etc. That’s exactly the kind of behavior I come here to avoid.
You can lead a man to knowledge but you can’t make him think.
I have to admit there is some cultism here surrounding Sundance. He asks us all to be skeptical and this “Treeper” line mentioned is antithetical to that. Isn’t skepticism a trait of an open minded thinker who searches for more information?
Many sales people would concur that Man, as in “Human” does not respond well to doctrinal knowledge presentations. If questions are presented well they often get the thinking going better than just saying something is so.
Would you agree?
Since when is being called a never Trumper, vicious. Your so sensitive.
Vicious
From American Heritage dictionary.
Actually I’ve seen people banned for things as innocuous as criticizing trump or sd. SMH
Senate recess any time between January of 2017 and the fall of 2020.
Exactly. Any senator could have called the recess so Pres Trump could make recess appointments. NOT ONE DID. That includes Rand Paul. Sen Paul’s anger is very convenient for him.
Prescient observation
Someone should ask him directly before making any presumptions. Ask him, or any of them. Could it be the anti-Trump syndrome? Duh.
“Any senator could have called the recess…”
Not when China Mitch is in control.
some people think one person can change the system
and get very angry when it doesn’t happen
Anger? More so, than Hell YES…… What’s missing is a “mythical” Mr. Smith” with patriotic guts to get the ball rolling and we citizens to get involved in any way necessary to get our ” reps. off the pot, …..the one they’re smoking, and the one they occasionally sit on.
I like Rand Paul. He’s true to what he believes and doesn’t waver and I’ve never personally heard anything he has to say without agreeing with it. I’m no libertarian but I like what he’s done as a Senator and if he was my Senator I’d sure vote for him again.
What will McConnell do in Ukraine? Die?…
Let’s hope so!
Zelensky is losing the support of the people.
That being said, why is Ukraine aid locked in for three more years?
The whole thing stinks.
So that Trump can’t interfere without being impeached. I hope he has good legal scholars working on a go-around right now! FK Ukraine, and their own people murdering government!
I’d be targeting them if I was Russian leadership.
McConnell’s wife’s sister just died in a tragic accident. He has no business flying to Ukraine!
Right! China Mitch should shut down and celebrate his commie sister in law’s life and investigate her mysterious death like the communist lackey that he is.
Rand is the only congressman I like, the rest are all compromised
Senator not Congressman
I always thought senators are also congressmen. No?
According to Congress.Gov…it looks like you’re right.
Congressman refers to someone that is in either house of Congress.
True.
Congress is comprised of the House, which are called representatives, and the Senate members are called senators, of which all are congressmen and congresswomen.
Lol
Hard for me to decide if Rand would be the best VP and then POTUS or the head of the senate. I’d trust him in either spot.
Paul and Palin………….a dream team in the newly re-constituted USA. 2028…..
God Help US
Biden ‘Open Border Policy’.
Many illegal aliens are Chinese Foreign Nationals that
illegally entered the USA. Some are CCP Chinese Agents.
I saw something recently about that. Many “middle class” Chinese coming with luggage!
Dig a little bit into Evergrande. The way I’ve understand, the company is, among other things, the largest (multi-unit) residential real estate developer in China. They are bankrupt and about to be liquidated. They have projects that are in various stages of completion. People have been paying as the buildings with their new housing units are being built. The purchasers have money at risk. Residential real estate is said to be the most important form of wealth.
Evergrande’s collapse has the potential to extend beyond the purely economic realm and cause social strain. Young men need to be able to demonstrate that they can provide a home if they hope to get married. Single young men may be ready to leave China for brighter shores.
So, China simply allows this? Why would a totalitarian, communist state just allow it’s most fit and productive members to emigrate to a democracy? Something is out of whack with all these Chinese “immigrants” showing up all of a sudden. I don’t buy this proposed scenario.
More than ten years ago, a friend was living in British Columbia and dating a lady from China. He told me that even then, some of the Chinese families who had the means were trying to bale out of China and into the US or Canada. Some wanted their child(ren) to have a western university education and then try to stay and sponsor the parents over. From what he could derive, his assessment of the university system in China was not all that great with only about three exceptions.
I remember a conversation he and I had 25 years ago. He was staying in a room on an upper floor of one of the better hotels in Vancouver. There was a mid-rise or high-rise residential building across the street. Almost nobody was going in or out. Lights were not going on and off. The one or two units he could see into were vacant. When he got nosey enough, he asked around and found out that various Chinese owned those units.
They were purchased to hold as stores of personal wealth. Engaging a property manager to serve as a leasing agent was a nonstarter. Allowing anybody else to live in your new construction was unthinkable. I assume that has something to do with Feng Shui.
Well, that combined with the fact that there is a critical shortage of young women in China due to their “one child” policy. If there is nobody to date/marry, why would they stay?
Senator Paul is the correct person to replace McConnell as the Republican Leader in the Senate. Mitch has lost all credibility, right along with schumer.
The son of “Mr. No” would be a refreshing change in this world of political yes men.
I would imagine Mitchy will be wearing his multi-pocketed jacket , and pants with the hidden lining.
What’s particularly disgusting is that we keep voting criminals like McConnell into government
Not to fast there, JB. Perhaps Mr. Dominion has some responsibility there?
The Selydove Ukrainian training camp
that was bombed to pieces, is that the same Selydove mining town in Ukraine mentioned in this old NYT article? About Selydove medical staff who refused the injections?
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/11/world/ukraine-covid-vaccine-misinformation.html
God help us, this leadership intends to kill us all, and hapless Ukrainians are trapped in the front lines of
The genocide
It’s not just Ukraine getting billions of taxpayer dollars from hard-working Americans. ISR gets billions, too, yearly and now “war” funding.
Nice to hear someone state the obvious once in a while.
In other words, McConnell already knew by the 12th the house would cooperate. They mock us with their fake outrage. Rand Paul is one of the few who actually fights for his constituents
The obvious solution for Texas is to annul the Treaty of Annexation, go back to being an Independent country and get foreign aid from the US to build a border wall and secure the border. $95 billion dollars would go along way to paying for a Republic of Texas Military. Then of course there would be humanitarian aid packages we could use for a host of other things, highway improvements, transporting the illegals already in Texas back home or to the blue state of their choice, new power plants, upgrading oil and gas export facilities, and an inconvenience payment to every citizen of the Republic of Texas because of having to put up with the hassles that resulted from Joe Biden and his cronies for the past 3 years. (sarcasm)
thank you Rand
If we give the Ukes the 60 billion, will they keep McTurtle?
Thank you Rand you have given me hope! There are ethical souls still left in this world.
If I’m getting this straight Turtle is going over to get his check and deposit to his Chinese bank
This is what, 1.2% of the budget? Don’t we have bigger fish to fry?
If we can’t remove McConnel, then we sure as f deserve him.
Well…
if I was Russian military I’d be tracking aircraft coming into kiev for a visit.
