Senators Richard Blumenthal (U-DC) and Lindsey Graham (U-DC) have scheduled a delegation of Ukraine officials to come to the Senate tomorrow and help organize the pro-Ukraine narrative. The Senate is debating the anti-Russia sanctions package and key players are coordinating retention of the Ukraine payment system.
According to Politico all 100 senators have been invited to the lobbying/narrative engineering meeting, and almost all of them are likely to attend. From obvious indications, including Blumenthal and Graham supporting the recent Ukraine attacks against strategic Russian airbases, it would appear the Senate is prepared to dispatch President Trump’s efforts to organize a ceasefire.
As with all things Washington DC, to find the motive follow the money.
WASHINGTON DC – A Ukrainian delegation is set to brief U.S. senators Wednesday as lawmakers weigh a sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia and its biggest energy customers, China and India.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said in an interview that he organized the meeting with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and noted all 100 senators were invited to attend the closed-door session.
“It’s a pivotal moment in Ukraine — and crunch time for the Senate on this bill,” said Blumenthal, noting that the legislation now has 82 co-sponsors, evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans.
The visiting delegation, he said, includes Andriy Yermak, a top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Ukraine’s deputy defense minister, Serhii Boyev, is traveling with Yermack.
The sanctions package from Blumenthal and Graham is designed to increase pressure on Russia’s wartime economy by targeting countries that buy oil and gas — a move Blumenthal said could be a “game changer.”
He also pointed to recent long-range drone attacks deep inside Russia — dubbed “Operation Spiderweb” — as evidence of Ukraine’s agility and resolve. Those strikes, he said, counter “a false narrative that Ukraine is losing the war” and could shift momentum in Washington in favor of increasing aid for Ukraine. (read more)
Dick and Lindsey are committed to showing President Trump who is really in charge of U.S. foreign policy.
This Senate meeting with Ukraine officials comes one day before German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visits the White House to tell President Trump what the EU intends to do to support Ukraine.
Why the HELL doesn’t Trump call them out for TREASON??? WTF is going on??
Trump would have to call out about 90% of the population. Everyone is corrupt.
Most people are sheeple.
They’ve been trained to go along to get along.
Indeed, we are all corrupt to one degree or another.
Some are more well-rounded and can and do think for themselves, but most function as serfs.
That’s simply the way it is.
Uniparty elected officials would not do what they do if voters didn’t put up with their nonsense.
Cannot get on the R ballot unless a Rino & Uniparty member. Most do not understand that.
Should Trump call them out as traitors first, then veto whatever bill they pass, or vice-a-versa?
Veto.
They’re holding the BBB as leverage.
I am sure you are correct
It must be frustrating as hell to have to deal with the snakes in government
they make my skin crawl
God bless President Trump for taking on this mess!
That is what they want you to think. Graham vote means nothing. He and Dick need arrested for Treason but Trump will do the usual Nothing and they know it.
Veto the bill stating it undermines the peace negotiations.
Make 2/3 of Senate and House override it and own the results heading into an election year.
You are right! When? I am so sick of Lindsey Graham. NO more money to Ukraine. This is insane.
Lindsay Graham remains in office because most South Carolinians keep voting for him to return to office.
We have tried to primary him. In an open primary Democrats vote for him.
We need to close the primary system to allow the voice of Republicans to select our candidate.
President Trump won SC by a large margin in 2020 and 2024.
My problem is also why PDJT is endorsing Graham for reelection.
That hurts.
Graham remains in office because SC has open primaries, and the SC GOPe runs a splitter strategy so that there are 3-4 more conservative opponents in the primary. Lately his Democrat opponent has been some ultra liberal that doesn’t go over well.
Graham pulls in a lot of the center-left vote from the Charelston – Myrtle Beach – Columbia triangle.
Keep in mind that even though SC has Clyburn in the House, his district is gerrymandered.
Election coming up and had problems in S.C. Needs kickbacks money
Good God Almighty! THERE IS NO HOPE! We’d have to put boots, OUR BOOTS, on the ground because THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY LEFT! Their forced recruiting has dried up and death/desertions are draining what’s left at the front.
How can these losers try so hard to save a corrupt nation that has NO WAY to win, while letting our country go down the toilet, ignoring the President who’s doing his best to Make America Great Again?
Hanging’s too good for ’em. But I’ll settle for it.
Indeed, there is NO HOPE in mankind.
It would be really nice while they are huddling and cuddling that the extent of their individual payoffs would appear as information on an ongoing investigation.
“Dick and Lindsey”…..What Sen. Graham dreams about all day.
New poll shows 57% of Republican voters in South Carolina will not vote for Lindsey Graham in the primary What do you say?
https://nitter.poast.org/CharlieK_news/status/1929580099310936071#m
Correct. 57% of the Republican voters in SC will not vote for miss Lindsey in the primary. But SC has open primaries. So on top of the 43% Republican idiots that do vote for Lindsey, you need 7% Dems to make it a 50/50 split. And only 8% Dems to vote for RINO miss Lindsey to keep her re-elected.
Thats how the Dems rig the game. Open primaries. Same as in TX.
Why do you think you never got rid of the turtle McConnell?
…and Cornyn!!
Argh.
How do we change primaries in a few places?
This is what Sundance was referring to a few days ago on “X” about repealing the 17th Amendment, 75% of our problems would DISAPPEAR……
Same as in TN. It is why in a Red State like TN we have purple at best.
Example for TN of how it goes:
Speaker of the State Senate is a huge RINO. A MAGA conservative primaried him. We have 14 days of early voting and then election day. The MAGA candidate won the vote on election day but lost the election 1500 Democrats crossed over to defeat him. It is one of the reasons we formed a Conservative MAGA Republican Group in our county.
They will voter fraud Lindsey in again. I don’t know why, but he has control over somebody in SC.
No. He does have control with the open primary system in the state. Democrats vote for Graham in the primary.
We have a good MAGA candidate in this primary election but the dems will continue to support Graham.
What must happen until the primaries are closed is every Republican that voted for PDJT must vote for Lynch in the primary, even though for some unknown reason the Predident is endorsing Graham.
There’s something fishy going on.
Suspicious cat is uncomfortable.
I won’t be. And we have a legitimate challenger.
Though, I’m sure the challenger will end up being the same; he just wants a seat in the club.
I think Lynch might just be true to MAGA.
Veto.
Trump made two massive mistakes in regards to Ukraine.
1. He campaigned on a promise that he would and could end the conflict in 24 hours.
2. He failed to pull 100% of US involvement in the conflict within his first 30 days in office.
(Actually he should have done it on day 1, but I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt that he needed time to get people in place to carry that out).
Every day that goes by we get closer and closer to the point that this becomes his war. If we aren’t there already.
He has handled it very, very badly. In fact, I don’t think he could have handled it worse so far. And he and the GOP will pay a very heavy price.
This is not what we voted for. My support is waning and I have no doubt there are millions and millions of comrades who feel the same.
He’s either getting horrific advise and taking it. Or, he’s falling into the same trap he did in his first term of allowing events to cloud his better judgment (see Covid).
Time to whipsaw back to Democrat control. If they bounce election winners back and forth, both sides get rich and nobody has accountability. The path towards tyranny continues. Republicans are in the process of tanking the next election to gridlock congress so the judiciary can have a break in their war against democratic representative government
It’s a bait and switch con game.. While we’ve “sold our soul to the country store”
They, not we….and to a different country…..store.
No selling our children’s and grandchildren’s soul. Our souls, sold out long ago.
I think much of our nation’s soul has been eaten away too.
Just imagine the hearings once the Dems get back in control of Congress. More circus and theatrics.
And impeachments!
“He failed to pull 100% of US involvement in the conflict within his first 30 days in office.”
Get real.
There is no way he could have pulled that off.
Contrary to what you want to believe about it, the country has never been , nor will it ever be, a one man show.
What that means is you have to get people on your side, and if you don’t you come up empty.
Trump is up against a long standing institutional wall of Russia haters. As well as a long standing institutionalized wall of China haters, some of who post on this site daily.
Watch him work the crowd and learn something. And root for him. He has carved out a big piece of work for himself. He needs the support.
“There is no way he could have pulled that off.”
Then why did he promise it?
Because it is part of the “narrative.” Just wait and see, there is a lot more to come.
Do tell.
because he thought he could?
and those in our own government are preventing it?
why not blame them?
It is intellectually lazy to think otherwise.
Because OldDog, he thought he had been elected as president but the traitors in congress are stealing his power, his title AND his office.
90% of DC is against him. He has to get rid of the 90% or make enough of their leaders do a perp walk. The Patel, Bongino circus of talk along with the Bondi TV show are slow walking change. The vacation by Congress is slow walking change. Patience is Defeat.
“My support is waning and I have no doubt there are millions and millions of comrades who feel the same.” –Eric V
Comrades?? Lol, I don’t think you’ll find many comrades, marxists or other flavors of communists in MAGA or the Treehouse…..
You think he should have gotten us out immediately, however, legally he can’t stop certain ongoing support to Ukraine.
During Biden’s term, Congress passed legislation to ensure long-term payments and other support to Ukraine. This was done as an insurance policy in case we won the election.
I’m guessing this is why President Trump was determined to get the mineral rights deal in order to partially reimburse America for the legislated ongoing Ukraine payments.
We’re seeing a 360 degree assault by neocons and globalists to keep the war going. I can’t think of anyone else I’d rather see in the White House at a time like this.
So, at this point who are you waning to support? Just curious.
It won’t matter who we support, the boot will be on our neck. Trump can not give Ukraine targeting information. And he can give them weapons that won’t help them win. Stop giving them Hymers and Drones, Give them pistols and tanks.
I was replying to Eric V’s comment which is in italics at the beginning of my post.
If you reread my comment, you’ll see I support President Trump.
Mineral rights won’t mean squat if the neocons and NATO manage to start a real war with Mother Russia.
No horrific trap, no bad advice
#45 Trump sets up his narratives TO DRAW ATTENTION…#45: no eastern European conflicts on his watch…#47: Biden left EU, WHO, WEFNATO, ME, ETC in a MESS….the IC booby-trapped mutiple sites in proximity to Russia bases WHILE JOE was in office, and Trump forced their hand to shoot their wad EARLY by cutting off their USAID piggybank as the Belt-and-Road gigs collapsed under the pressure of tariff negotiations
Take a pill
I agree with your comments. Colonel Douglas Macgregor has said similar. Said Trump should have cut off the money support to Ukraine already. It is becoming Trump’s war. Doesn’t he see it. Hasn’t he learned from his first term to get better advisement. So, it’s fine that Lindsey and Dick committed treason against the US. Lindsey was involved with Zelensky election. No wonder he and Zelensky are pals. Why are the Senators even going to their
meeting today. For what? None should attend. They should go and call out Lindsey for what kind of traitor he is to our country.
Where is that picture of McCain and his pals in Syria…..remember, the traveling comrads.
Photos of ugly MCcain with terrorists in Syria. Here:

Here, 2 nice pictures of the ugly character with the Syrian terrorists.
You mean this one?
He can’t legally
Comrades?
Just remember that Trump is a Washington outsider and no matter what he does, if it gets into the purse strings of our corrupt Senate, we will all have HELL to pay.
I guess we have mothers in this country that haven’t lost their sons and daughters to war. However, in today’s world it would probably go much more quickly when the annihilate us all with Nuclear bombs. Remember that it is CHINA, IRAN, RUSSIA against the USA. They can even rid us of D.C. overnight if they decided to shut down Ukraine.
Oh poppycock! Most of MAGA are intelligent enough to separate political speak from reality.
President Trump is between a rock and a hard place. He is trying his hardest against his own
government and that of the UK and NATO who don’t want this war to end.
Our government officials have made bank off of this war and don’t want the graft to end.
Those, such as yourself, who only criticize, however, never offer solutions are part of the problem.
Its absolutely disgusting.
It’s his ego, which is his worst fault. Nobody’s perfect. He governs well, but…
The only wall congress has built is TO SURROUND PRESIDENT TRUMP. It’s incomprehensible that we helped him win the election and become our President and congress is thwarting him at every turn. They are all traitorous rat bastards and are preventing “the people” of the United States of America from winning anything.
Congress has snatched AMERICA away from us.
DC should be it’s own country because they are becoming dictators by ignoring the will of the people. JMHO.
Yep, Trump is a great business man but he’s relies to much on loyalty which his enemies use against him just like his first term. But He should know this time around trust no one. All his intelligence information is all lies he doesn’t know half of what’s really going on and what he thinks he knows is all false. He’s very busy making deals and has virtually no one to trust in international affairs as regards Ukraine and Russia
I don’t think he did promise that, he just claimed he could do it.
That was before Lindsey Graham announced that he was putting together a deal that President Trump could accept, in order to get him to continue funding the war.
President Trump wasn’t even in back in office yet.
Didn’t he endorse Lindsey in 2020, despite Lindsey getting booed at Trump rallies?
Any good news out there?
Inflation is down. The Fed ( Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta) is projecting GDP will rise by 4.6% in this quarter. U.S. steel industry was saved a week or so ago.
Regarding the Senate maneuvers and the never-ending political assaults on President Trump … I’d place my bets on the Trump Curse —wouldn’t want to be those working against him.
4.6% ?? They’ve backed off that prediction.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development downgraded the U.S.′ growth outlook to just 1.6% this year, and 1.5% in 2026. The OECD previously expected a 2.2% expansion in 2025.
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/03/us-treasury-yields-oecd-cuts-us-growth-outlook-on-tariff-uncertainty.html
The OECD is a Marxist cesspool meant to undermine any POTUS not communist. Nice try.
My comment referred to the Federal Reserve’s growth project.
You counter with the projection of a globalist organization with ties to the WEF. Coincidentally their projection appeared in the press seemingly timed to quash the great news from the Federal Reserve.
(from 2020)
“The World Economic Forum and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development signed today a Strategic Partnership Framework to deepen institutional engagement and jointly accelerate inclusive and stustainable growth globally.”
https://www.weforum.org/press/2020/01/world-economic-forum-and-oecd-sign-strategic-partnership-framework/
YES!
1.48 million verified, certified North Carolinian’s voted to MAGA! “No more more endless, costly wars.”
Come November, this anti-MAGA Swamp Creatures career drowns in it’s own filth.
Who’s next? Line ’em up, take your pick.
It’s always about the money. Dick and Lindsey, and the CIA of course, are invested up to their corrupt-as-hell eyeballs in favor of Ukraine’s continuing its facade of a war footing.
The money-laundering operations will continue. The power grabs will continue. The bribes will continue to flow, and the crimes against humanity will continue to be committed.
As of 10 pm MDT, as far as I can tell Trump has yet to say a singe public word about Z-man’s puppet-clown (CIA, MI6, NATO, EU) attack against the Russian nuclear strike capability.
My sense is Putin’s had enough of the games. As well, it looks like Trump’s got very difficult maneuvering problems with the uni-party and deep state.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind. Best we watch our speed.
The Ukraine Proxy War side that isn’t Russia are exposing themselves.
Feels to me like curtain opening at a show; I am left wondering who is the director.
Remember the outrage a few days ago about Lindsey and Dick’s motel bills? Way over $400 thousand dollars
apiece? A big piece of the puzzle (predictably) got overlooked. The exchange rate.
411-430 grand is somewhat short of 1/2 million. But 1/2 million US dollars is equivalent to 20 million in Ukrainine’s
equivalent currency. Think how many bribes, kick backs that bought over there. Also, having checked some former
soviet block’s countries travel costs, would not be shocked to see how low the bill at a first class motel in Ukraine
would be versus NY, London, Paris, Tokyo, Toronto.
Those that understand currency exchange rates can flame away. I’m new to the game. But, in Ukraine dollars
what would 411 or 430 thousand dollars be worth?
Nobody seemed to be asking how could that much money be possibly spent on lodging.
Lindsey Graham should be removed as Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.
Male escorts are not cheap apparently
Plural implied
We have to trust Linda Graham. After all he is a Bronze Star recipient and retired with the rank of Colonel. /s
And he ain’t kentucky fried either.🦨
Mr. JAG.
Yep. Air Force JAG starting in early 80s, IIRC. I still remember his questioning of Kavanaugh for SCOTUS.
Sweet karma and justice would see mr. jag go through a military tribunal as a traitor! One can dream.
Sigh.
@GeromanAT
“Our source in the OP said that yesterday’s special operation, like the blowing up of the Crimean Bridge, was prepared by British intelligence, using its agents in the regions of Russia, the Ukrainians were not involved in the active phase, but only delivered parts to various warehouses.
Satellite repeaters were precisely tuned to the NATO frequency, which made it possible to organize the raid, thanks to the work of the Center for Informed PsyOps, the media effect was achieved and the number of 40 aircraft was launched, in reality the number is 3 times less, but in cognitive wars the main thing is to cause shock.”
https://nitter.poast.org/GeromanAT/status/1929426048481157378
Putin will know this and take revenge on the UK
WARMONGERS
Note the Brittish officer at the lower right… 😄
Hey clowns and your kids over there too die for sniffy the clown. I’ll keep my kids here at home.
And that’s the bottom line. Forget it.
One contingency Trump should have demanded, and makes me sick to think he’s compromised. Zelensky must resign and a true election take place. Now, we have the puppet and the masters calling the games.
Let’s not talk about the “BIG beautiful bill” either. While Elon, the only one with a brain, voices our sentiments.
Just coincidence! Here say.
Well, here is some news for you…..
the draft is still in place
congress at any time can implement it
and haul your kids off to war
I am LIVID!!!!!
JMO.
Well, for sure, they’ve got him this time ……. NOT.
President Trump has been beating these treasonous RINOs like a dirty rug for the past four years.
Remember the 2022 DesantXX campaign and the 2023 splinter candidates funded by the big RINO $$$ men and the 2023 secret RINO plan to deny President Trump the candidacy at the convention and who can forget the RINO RNC crowd that was taken out in President Trump’s 2023 surprise hostile takeover of the RNC.
The RINOs 2025 numbers are just a sliver of what they were when they were coconspirators with the democrats in the 1/6/21 coup d’état. Trump’s MAGA / America First movement has the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and the majorities are growing by leaps and bounds.
President Trump is the “rope-a-doper” supreme.
No doubt, he would have spotted this “RINO / BigWar / Globalist holdup point way back in 2022. He has been held up by the best and worst and he’ll slam shut his counteraction when they least expect it.
He’s got it. To paraphrase President Trump …. the RINOs, CIA and the u-crane mafia don’t hold the cards.
Watch and learn something grasshopper.
MAGA isn’t just our motto, it is our duty.
Mr. President
Please order a stop to every aspect of support to Ukraine that you can legally do via the Executive.
And warn every single employee of every agency and branch, with vigorous criminal prosecution, or court martial if they violate this order.
Grahams lack of children gives rise to his treacherous duplicity.. I’m angry very angry
He’s read Hillary’s book…
It takes a village, he’s the mayor, and all our children are his.
This is not what we voted for. What is going on?
I hate them all so much.
Having spent over 50 years of my life supporting republicans,I’m done . They want to pull us into war and if Trump does nothing he is complicit.
well, goodbye
Why haven’t they been detained for treason—or at least Logan Act or FARA violations?
Because Pam Blondi is AG, running cover, just as Barr did. Selected by….Susan Wiles.
Remember we were supposed to have the Epstein client list by now?
Ho hum.
I feel bad for the President. He has tried so, so very hard. God bless him.
Has Marco Rubio spoken out on this topic?
Usually if someone steps on your toes and usurps your authority, it makes you angry.
Is he angry about what’s happening?
Time to sound the alarm.
Not far from where I live is the Mexico border . Many of our produce arrive by container truck every day.
Near me there are two major military bases as well as one of the biggest bomb making company in the world.
Directly adjacent to it is a Chinese financed observation balloon surveillance company. . Similar to the balloons that the Chinese flew over the country not to long ago. It was formed years ago by a Democrat Senator with funding from China.
The drones that were used in Ukraine are cheap and can be purchased very easily. I wouldn’t be shocked if we were the one that supplied them to Ukraine. Trucks that can hold them can be hidden for any amount of time without detection. Now if Russia decides it has to go into war because we gave them little choice and China joins as its partner have I painted a clear picture of our risk ?
From a Newsweek article dated 10 Feb 2025, re the US-made components in the downed Chinese spy balloon, the one Biden allowed to transit the entire USA in 2023:
“Iridium said the 9602 satcom module could be exported to China without a license except for a prohibited end use or end-user, but that would be up to the partner to ascertain. If Iridium were to learn of misuse, it would immediately work with partners, including the U.S. government, to disable it, Hassim said.
“The 9602 module, which fits in the palm of a hand, is sold by Iridium as “the critical data communications necessary for truly global solutions”. It can be bought online in the U.S. from numerous providers for less than $150.
“The other U.S. companies whose parts were identified in the balloon are: Texas Instruments, Omega Engineering in Connecticut, Amphenol All Sensors Corporation and onsemi, according to the sources. Technology made by STMicroelectronics of Switzerland was also in the balloon. Newsweek reached out to each company for comment. Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics said that they had not known that their parts were in the balloon, but that they respected export controls. The other companies did not respond.”
This is the opposite of America First. It’s treachery.
“According to Politico”
-Hunter’s laptop was not real
-The Big Guy was sharp as a tack for 4 years and deserved 4 more
I could go on and on
Well,I guess it’s the us senates war now.
Would anything the Senate does have to go through the House too?
Oh, and shouldn’t the Senate be taking care of the tax bill?
And the Big Beautiful Bill hangs in the balance.
Who has become hostage of whom?
An Offensive NATO is grounds for the US and others to abandon NATO as it has ceased to be an exclusively defensive union. It has morphed into a predator institution, driven by the same pernicious, signature European greed, treachery and avarice that has started every major war of the last century.
There is no Soviet Union to defend against. NATO has become what it says it hates.
Goodbye NATO. You are not the cure. You are the disease.
John Thune is ok with Frick & Frack running this show? Great leadership there Thune.
Yes, indeed, the time was right to start a new political party driven by patriot disgust of The Big Steal and the GOPe complicity in Uniparty murder and mayhem. Trump could have launched a true revolution then. But now, he’s still being hamstring by the Derp State traitors and GOPe backstabbers. And his own bad judgment. I suppose that, as phenomenal as Trump’s reelection was, it was too much to expect that real change was ever possible. I’m resigned to just watching the inevitable decline of the good ol’ US of A now. “It’s over, man. It’s over.”
NO. WTAF? Right up in our grill. Let’s have this throw down, NOW.
Ukraine attempted once again to destroy the Kerch Bridge to Crimea…..and failed. There are n ow photos and videos coming out that indicate that the much of the ‘damage’ Ukraine alleged, with regard to their ‘surprise attack’ on Russian air bases, is also part of the Ukrainian propaganda agenda. US political reps who actually think that there is any way for Ukraine to be victorious in this conflict are either totally misled, or continuing the misinformation theatre that surrounds this conflict. For the last 3 years, Putin/Russia truly has been the only adult in the room. I wonder what will happen when their patience runs thin.
Blumenthal, our Communist in residence at our Congress….and then Lindsey Graham, a walking version of John McCain. What a mess!
What bothers me the most is President Trump endorsing Graham in his reelection to the Senate.
How is that even possible? I haven’t heard the president endorsing other enemies of the Constitution.
This is the end result of the 17th Amendment……….
Haven’t we been here before ?
Those photos are nauseating. There are Nazis among us.
The money should come out of the Democrats and RINOs personal bank accounts, both in the US and the Caymans.
Someone grab me the toolbox, please. The damn DeepState green flies broke the screen door off the hinges and have invaded the treehouse. I might need Sylvia’s shovel too, just for good measure.
This is so painful to watch. I pray PDJT and PVP are strategizing using back channel mechanisms.
Russia is pro Western Civilization while the so called representatives of our heritage a Christian legacy are committing suicidal empathy by bringing invaders into their countries voluntarily.
But more than that they are tearing away at the true history preserved and passed down to us in monuments and written word
Not only is he corrupt, Zelenskyy is part of the destruction of Western Civilization.
Good grief, you all are one hit wonders. So many moving parts but you all have all the answers…and if Trump doesn’t do what you say “I’m done!” You sound like a high school boy.
With friends like you, Trump doesn’t need enemies.
#complicated business
I HOPE that President Trump walks into this meeting today, unannounced to watch all their heads spin! He should just sit in and tell them to proceed..watch and listen. Then turn loose on them the LAW!!!
veto, we’re going to have to resort to democrat strategies, start attacking them
This is more unwelcome news, but keep this reality in mind: one off uniquely orchestrated attacks, i.e., the drone swarm deep in Russia and the bridge to Crimea are not successful strategic objective outcomes. Russian has won the ground war and Ukraine’s ability to continue to wage a defensive effort is over. That’s the definition of win or lose. It’s obvious that Zelensky is not an honest or considered man and consequently a major obstacle to a solution. Time will take care of that. But the venal corrupt politicians here and abroad must be constrained. If not, then what is the purpose of a U.S.President?
It’s the Roman Senate
The President makes the Treaties and the Senate gives advice and consent, not the other way around. Sad that Republicants won’t back the President like democrats back theirs.
all 100 senators have been invited to the lobbying/narrative engineering meeting, and almost all of them are likely to attend.
Which makes them all Accessories after the Fact.
would be interested in knowing the names of those who show up for this “important” meeting.
President Trump is surely walking a tightrope on Ukraine.
It appears to me that NATO, the UK and the CIA have no intention of allowing this war to end;
in fact, it appears they want escalation.
“…sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia and its biggest energy customers, China and India.”
More sanctions? And this time targeting India? You see this right here? This is absolute foolishness. Going gung-ho after India just shows that America is ready to make enemies of everyone. Trump better take the wheel now — otherwise these clowns will be running the show.
They will attempt a false flag and try to draw us in the war. Most of these western nations are in big trouble, and their last hurrah is to go after Russia. Which, to me, is a speed run to a nuclear exchange. And, even before we get there, we have more frightening weapons than that on the world stage.

Picture of Lindsey Graham committing TREASON in UKRAINE just 22 days before PDJT was sworn into his first term.
Blumenthal and Graham-two of my least favorite people- are working together. Wake up America. No good has ever come from Richard Head or Miss Lindsay.

U-DC INDEED!
Waste of human flesh
The correct response to this is to spend the entire day alerting the American people that their Senators are trying to expand the war in Ukraine and send our kids to fight there.
Every cabinet member should be talking about this to the media today.
Then watch the fun. This war is deeply unpopular nationwide. Those Senators aren’t meeting with Zelensky to get him to negotiate. They’re egging him on in hopes of dragging Trump into war with Russia.
WHY are so many POLITICIANS in Ukraine? At OUR expense, costing $millions????????
This is a propaganda war, nothing more, nothing less.
It’s a mission to engage the USA is a yet again never-ending war to make NEOCON and military complex RICH.
I’m DONE with Lindsay, Blumenthall, Pelosi, Pompei, Thom Tillis, et als taking their AS*** to Ukraine over and over.
WHAT THE H is their purpose OR need there?????
Lindsey, Chairman of the Senate Budge Committee, okayed his own expenses and those of his royal entourage.
Approaching $1,000,000.
Which apparently included an $800,000 “hotel bill” (*wink*)
It’s good to be Comptroller.
It’s time to publish the details of the money being pocketed by these politicians (by name) that specifically ties to Ukraine. Not anecdotal info but hard, documented details. The argument has to be proven then driven home in a national campaign.
Additionally, too many politicians boarding this train. What else is being hidden? What does the admin know but has yet to reveal?
If these politicians want war (literally and figuratively), then lets get that struggle out and in the open for full, complete debate – open the kimono.
Republicans control the funding spigot in the house; PDJT holds veto power. The Senate wants a fight – give it to em.
I’m all for that, phillip.
I have yet to hear any dissenting voice against war in those quarters, not a single one.
What are the chances such a hearing in their private talking shoppe will happen?
I wish I could be assured that those who will be procured as the fodder were paying attention. So far I am hearing/seeing nothing there either.
(So many thoughts ricocheting around my uncoffeed brain this early morning…none of them hopeful.)
“Down to the last Ukranian,” says the repugnant Nuland, physically and morally.
Left in parentheses, “Down to the last European, Brit, and American, too, if need be.”
Money seems to travel in circles. Maybe that is where the silly “circling back” subphrase started. No?
Perhaps also “Wash, Rinse, Repeat”?
The old DC washing machines are getting quite a workout.
If warranted, apologies for my tone. It’s not directed at you. I just like leveraging your posts since there’s always a kernel (said respectfully) of truth along with with your visible/felt humanity (i.e., it aint feigned).
I watch with a jaundiced eye much of this – including MAGA responses (conflicting) at times. But this one is getting me angrier by the day. Too many parties actively worked to engineer this war and/or perpetuate it. I wish the thought “at their own peril” had some substance.
One can build one of those sawtooth diagrams that link various activities/events/systems over time toward some ultimate outcome. It becomes clearer by the day how all of our daily “existence/experiences” are leading toward a set of engineered outcomes – one of which is a Civil War. IMO.
No apology necessary, my friend.
My university degree is worth squat compared to the education I received after I moved abroad in ’86.
Dinner parties were filled with the cut and thrust of political debate, sometimes mild, often feorcious. I loved them….and miss them.
And because of that education I find myself debating which is more important…remaining sane, or assuaging the hunger I developed to remain informed. So far it’s the latter…
And because of it, my eye is jaundiced as well. And my anger is rising at what is being deliberately inflicted on the Untermensch, which we all are in the eyes of those who sit cozily and safely in their lairs perpetrating all of it.
I’d hope there is more than a kernel of truth in some of what I post 😉….
I have become a devil’s advocate sort of gal in “real life”. Here, I keep a tight rein on it.
In our grace before meals, the last thing I say is, “… and keep us ever mindful of the needs of others.” And I watch what the morally bankrupt have brought this nation (and others) to and the human casualties of their complete disregard for every life, except their own.
We’re already in a war, phillip, on many fronts. I know it, you know it, everyone here knows it.
Those who are relentlessly engineering in plain sight what might be the last WW are either the most historically illiterate ever to attempt to perpetrate one, or the most supremely degenerate who know exactly what they are doing and are revisiting what they see as the mistakes of the last two so they can reconfigure to achieve their godless appetite for total power and wealth. “We didn’t do it right last time…”
I’ve wandered way off course…
Apologies for that…
The only people who could do that is the DOGE team. Everybody else in DC are too corrupt. Time for some Military Tribunals. It is way past time to expose that POS Graham.
Graham has been exposed for a long time. It’s time to charge and prosecute.
You could have used a better choice of words!!!!
They will need political backing, funding, infrastructure, institutionalizing, etc. They will be attacked, one day, as PDJT’s CFPB.
ELON MUSK HAS UNEQUIVOCALLY PROVEN THAT NO ONE GIVES TWO SPITS ABOUT POLITICIANS STEALING US BLIND. INCLUDING TRUMP WHO HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT BLOVIATE ABOUT IT.
On that you are correct. He BLISTERED ALL yesterday, and I hope it continues, and the press/media/networks/cable promote it.
HE IDENTIFIED $millions and $billions and the VOTE was NAY to do one damn thing about it.
WE ARE NOT concerned nor worried about the debt OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, who are struggling after 4Y of BIDEN/dems.
The debt also increased significantly under Obama and PDJT. It’s a systemic and societal problem at this point.
Kickbacks for foreign military financial support has always been the agreed price for getting US Government largess. Makes our Senate look like a bunch of criminals, I recon. 🙂
Makes our senate (small “s”) look like the bunch of criminals which they are, Pokey.
You open your Kimono, I’ll open mine.
You gotta go first though.
We’re both secure. Ahem.
It’s the decision-makers that need to bare all – as it were.
Trump could say that they must authorize a national draft to put American young people where they so desperately want to continue putting Ukranians. See how well THAT flies!!
Including DAUGHTERS as the Democrats specified!
That should get narcissistic selfie takers and “influencers” off their cell phones.
Including yours?
In HS, I was 1A as 1973 approached. I was happier than a pig in you know what when Nixon ended the draft.
Ironically, I elected to become a Naval Aviator downstream.
I got to make the decision.
They can override Trump
Let them. They’ll own it.
They own Trump and know it. That is why they don’t have any respect for him. He will do nothing but talk and tell all his fans what they want to hear.
Beginning to see some actual wisdom is that line of thought.
lots of talk, but not doing a damn thing about it.
very frustrating, glad in some ways I am old. Being young with this whole rotten political mess would be a lot to worry about for a long time
I totally agree with every word of this!
I read somewhere, maybe in the comments of the Treehouse that Lindsey has been to Ukraine more than several times but still has yet to visit the storm devastated sections of SC.
I read the same.
Priorities, priorities for the senator for Ukraine.
Yu accidentally stumbled on TRUE NEWS.
It’s out there, but the FAKE NEWS is more established now, after decades.
Just like a Sales Force; you go to and visit with those who provides you with your money!
Light in the loafers freebee. Light loafers is a pay yourself sponsor of the 4th branch.🦨
Tillis and Lindsay UP for re-election in 2026. Tillis has never garnered close to 50% in NC in prior elections and the polling now is 30%. TRUMP bailed him out in 2020 but best stay the heck out of endorsing him. NC conservatives and rural voters had enough of Tillis.
Hopefully SC sends Lindsay home as well. HE CAN THEN LIVE in Ukraine with Z and Tillis.
If they had any respect for Trump they would not be making foreign policy. They know he is all talk and will not do anything. If had a Dem President he would have Lindsey and Dick arrested on Treason charges. Instead Trump endorsed Lindsey. Guess it is one of those 3 D Chess moves that never work
Members of our Congress have been fiscally involved in the Ukraine money laundering operation since 2012.
and getting filthy rich$$$$, just like Joey did and just like Hunter did…
I don’t understand why a complete “out in the open” audit of every congress critter and Senaturd is not a yearly requirement ?
If you won’t share with your “voters” where your wealth came from as you “served the public” then get a real job.
Let the IRS do some serious work. Just auditing a couple of them would scare the be-jesus out of all the others.
I recommend Graham and Blumenthal and AOC for starts…
Readers can surely offer another 10 grifters “serving the public” to round it out to a baker’s dozen.
Of the original group in the
Maidan in 2014…..
Everyone seems to forget
Amy Kloubacher.
She was in the thick of it all
with McCain and Graham.
😀
Money and CYA of laundering and biolabs
IMHO, money laundering, perverted activities and what ever other evil, perversions they can get over there. Every one of them should be turned into “wind chimes”! I am sick of this crap! I did not vote for this bull shit!
That little slime slug piss ant midget z needs to be shown what its like to have a real southern style, “ass whooping”, along with every one of those traitors in congress.
