The behavior of the U.S. senators clamoring to be with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reflects a certain level of disconnect that needs to be witnessed to be realized.
Senators, grown adults awaiting Zelenskyy’s arrival, clinging to every word, clamoring to be first in line for his reception, competing against each other for time standing next to him, the entire event was grotesque and creepy. WATCH:
Shortly after the guided tour of the upper chamber, the Golden Child was carried on a gilded chariot into the viewing chamber while trumpets blared, senators took turns bringing forth their taxpayer funded indulgences, and Senator Jeanne Shaheen knelt down at his feet and peeled Zelenskyy’s grapes. Yeah, that’s the vibe.
The “Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026” was then advanced by the Senate in an 86 to 12 procedural vote teeing up the bill for final passage in the Senate later this week. However, I would challenge people to READ THE BILL, it’s only 61-pages.
Within the bill you will note almost everything within the law is left to the enforcement discretion of the President; which normally would not be of great concern, however, given the punishment for violations – things may get sketchy depending on who is in office.
A foreign person who “undermines the peace, security, political stability, or territorial integrity of Ukraine;” and/or “undermines the democratic processes of Ukraine,” will be in violation of the U.S. law and subject to fines, travel or visa restrictions. [Page 13, page 28] As a consequence, any person who may be critical of Ukraine -undermining the democratic process via criticism- can be punished by the U.S. President.
Page 36 applies a 100% U.S. tariff against the import of any country’s goods into the USA if that country purchase energy products from Russia (with qualifiers). The intent of that section is to stop China and/or India from purchasing Russian oil and gas.
As noted by Politico, ‘the revamped bill expands the number of Russian entities that would be subject to mandatory sanctions — including Russia’s shadow fleet of ships ferrying oil — but it also grants Trump broad waiver authority.’
The House is in summer recess, so things may stall even if the Senate (very pro-Ukraine) passes the bill.
Gag me with a spoon
What vomit inducing garbage……
“NO KINGS!” Scream the democrats as they hailed King Z, who refuses to hold elections in his country.
“It’s GOOOOOOOD to be king!”
King Zelensky
WHY couldn’t the good citizens of Ukraine deem that Zelensky himself is enemy number one of the Ukrainian people?
WHAT has he done FOR them? Haul away their men and boys to the meat grinder?
It must seem more hopeless to the people of Ukraine that they will ever be rid of Zelensky when he is hailed as some kind of hero by our Slithering Senators.
…“As a consequence, any person who may be critical of Ukraine -undermining the democratic process via criticism- can be punished by the U.S. President.”…
So much for the 1st Amendment.
ed. And the joke is the courts won’t hear a Constitutional challenge until someone has actually been harmed, they will just say the plaintiff has “ no standing”.
I get your point but I’m not sure. The democratic process is reserved to the people, not the government. This is how the argument would have to be formulated.
That part is quite obviously unconstitutional and won’t survive a court challenge for 30 seconds.
Since when has the Constitution mattered to most of these leftist judges?
No consequences.
The states continue to defy SCOTUS on 2nd Amendment matters.
SCOTUS has actually been handing down defeat after defeat to anti-human gun-grabbers. Granted, they aren’t going to give up, as you correctly point out. Gun-rights advocate groups need the support more than ever to litigate the state-level offenders.
No, we really can not hate these people enough.
True. I loathe them all. They truly want us dead.
I hear you but trust me I do
Send them to UKRAINE. Let Russia handle our problem for us.
It is time for normal humans to say ‘ I give up’
What’s going on here?
IDK but I will NEVER give up. 🙏
Burn it down and salt the earth upon which it stands. This corrupt institution routinely defies the will of the electorate who put them into office. Shame and scorn upon the whole lot of them. Traitorous bastards all!
Satanic.
This is sickening.
Wonder what would happen if 100’s of millions of Americans plastered Russian flags all over their homes, cars, businesses, etc. as happened with Ukraine supporters several years ago. Doubt it would change anything in the minds of the political-class, but it probably would be hugely entertaining to witness.
Expect a lot of slashed tires, broken car windows, scratched paint jobs, potatoes stuffed up the tailpipe.
My car might be immune. It’s the 10th most stolen vehicle in the U.S. so thieves might prefer to keep it in “saleable” condition as opposed to vandalizing it.
Any more ????? about $$$$$ laundering ????? Total corruption on display !!!
They always do what their owners demand. All their owners are in town…..
.
A Pervert Bill for a Pervert Dictator passed by a Pervert Senate–pervect!
Whats trumps plan wrt russia? And why? He owes us answers.
“Clinging to every word”, translates to they all are very nervous that a word that comes out of the ukraine dictator’s mouth, might expose them and their complicity in all of the corruption….
The democratic process of Ukraine?
Huh?
yes because suspending elections is part of their democracy.
If you follow the promethean frame, then you will see Ukraine as just another of those campaigns that insiders and other corrupt people somehow know to support.
Waiting for the China sanctions…..
Don’t EU member states like GER buy natural gas from Russia? That would make beemers a tad more expensive!
Bucket of spit worth US Senators (politicians). “Kneeled at Z’s feet & peeled his grapes vibe.” 👀!
You know who “undermines the democratic processes of Ukraine”?
A: ReichsFuhrer Zelensky, who cancelled elections years ago and criminalized all opposition.
And the CIA who installed him and created this war.
just when you think you can not get more disgusted…………….and beat goes on …and on…
Why are we still supporting this evil bs? All of this has been about taking out Putin and Balkanizing Russia.
I will never, ever support this.
lolli…i concur……
Maybe the Dems are thinking of running Z for the presidential primary since their other candidates seem to be bombing out
Or at least mayor of a city in MN. What would be really hilarious would be a push for “Little Z” to be mayor of Los Angeles.
It time to remember why our forefathers put the second amendment in our life’s its up to us to know when to use it
It’s so far past time I do not see it happening.
It is obvious that it will not happen. Therefore, I agree.
Are President Trump’s hands clean? Seems he’s still welcoming Zelenskyy to visit the White House. Seems the relationship is mutually beneficial.
We’ll see…
They aren’t cheering on the man, they are cheering on the billions in US taxpayer dollars that they will divert into their own accounts.
Grifters, all of them.
Courtesy of our acquiescence.
So let’s see if the President VETO’s this legislation.
If not then he is also part of the Z-Man fanboy club.
👍
Based on the procedural vote, a veto would be overridden in the Senate. Let’s see what the House does, if anything.
He still needs to veto it. Make them override his veto.
Send ALL of the senators to Ukraine. Maybe they’ll all end up like Graham.
Our fearless leaders are idiots
Just corrupt, greedy pigs.
“We” are not the government and the government is not us. “We” need to disabuse ourselves of this notion once and for all.
They keep giving tons of OUR money to foreigners, how about a real audit of where the money & material has gone? All of it. Every last penny, every last bolt & rivet. All of it. Including money that just happened to make it back to the U.S. in certain accounts for special people.
Hey maybe Zelensky can get Thune to pass SAVE. God knows our own president can’t.
“peeled Zelenskyy’s grapes”
Is that Zelenskyy playing the piano?
Absolutely not, if it were then I would not have posted it!
I just wanted to post something of redeeming social value on this thread.
It’s embarrassing. Good grief!
Insufferable.
While we are helping the Europeans make war against Russia, they are looting us. My son and I just had a commentary about this published in American Thinker. It’s called, “Finally, a president is stopping EU looting of US Companies!”
“Senators, grown adults awaiting Zelenskyy’s arrival, clinging to every word, clamoring to be first in line for his reception, competing against each other for time standing next to him, the entire event was grotesque and creepy.”
Hopefully clips of this event will be used in successful attempts to unseat these incumbents when their next election comes around, but will not count on it.
And here we thought the beautiful “Lindsey Graham Memorial Save America” bill might be top of mind.
Kickbacks are in play… which certainly explains the “enthusiasm”.
I could only watch 2 minutes worth of this BS.
Ukraine must have mountains of kompromat on the boot-licking senators. Even Katie Britt almost did a high school football cheer for Z cocaine Boy. Just disgusting.
Well we see how fing little these cons and grifters care about America and American citizens as the Save Act dies….
Vote em all out….
Grotesque and creepy, indeed.
They look nervous and terrified, even desperate.
Roger Wicker standing there stammering so badly he could barely utter a complete sentence.
Such disgusting theatrics.
Why would President Trump even consider signing something so outrageous?
