Senate Advanced 95.34 Billion Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan Aid Package for Debate

a reply to: OnlyYouKnow2

President Trump says make it a Loan to these countries...but not until existing border laws are being enforced here in the United States.

a reply to: WeMustCare

I say nothing until border closed and illegals deported.

Senator Mr.Lee is giving a very long debate. He said there is money specifically for border security in Ukraine- unbelievable!

a reply to: DBCowboy

The key is in the definitions of "we" and "our".

Clearly, "we" didn't do this, otherwise WE would've remembered. So someone else did it.

"Our" clearly does not apply to the leaders of this country,
as nothing they do benefits OUR interests, but only theirs.


We have terrorist hijackers sitting in our government and reading propaganda on our screens.

The Senate passed this bill early this morning. Now it goes to the House where it is said it will not pass.

On Tuesday, 26 Republican senators voted against a $95 billion package of aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan in a 70-29 vote. The legislation was backed by 22 GOP senators along with nearly all Senate Democrats, though three Democratic-aligned senators did vote against it. An earlier procedural vote passed by 66-33, with 31 Republican senators opposed, meaning five switched and backed the bill in the final vote.

The 66-33 margin for the procedural vote on Monday surpassed the 60-senator bar required to overcome a talking filibuster from Republican Rand Paul, one of several GOP critics, capping debate at an additional 30 hours before the final vote could take place.

The 26 Republican senators who correctly voted to oppose the legislation were:

Barrasso (WY)
Blackburn (TN)
Braun (IN)
Britt (AL)
Budd (NC)
Cotton (AR)
Cruz (TX)
Daines (MT)
Fischer (NE)
Graham (SC)
Hagerty (TN)
Hawley (MO)
Hyde-Smith (MS)
Johnson (WI)
Lankford (OK)
Lee (UT)
Marshall (KS)
Mullin (OK)
Paul (KY)
Ricketts (NE)
Rubio (FL)
Schmitt (MO)
Scott (FL)
Scott (SC)
Tuberville (AL)
Vance (OH)

Congress has not passed a real budget since 1997. It is constant Continuing Resolutions (CR's) and this is why spending is so out of control.

With each CR they make it a 'fear of government shutdown' and the people panic.

They need to shut it down and balance the budget.

Congress is the reason we are where we are.

95 billion for...what? Security for other countries while we have an open border?

They try to appeal to the bleeding hearts saying pass it or we have no government....

Folks, right now we have no government except the 26 senators who voted no and 3 Democrats. I would look into the 5 that flipped and see what they were promised in the bill.

It makes me sick to my stomach they will try to push this through and made us as a country beg and fight in court for money to build a wall that was already passed BEFORE Trump was in office.

a reply to: matafuchs

It really is infuriating. The complete audacity of it all is beyond reprehensible. Those that voted for this might as well just flip us all the bird instead like that illegal immigrant that was arrested in NY did.

Did you know the Senate pulled a funding for emergency care for Veterans bill that the House had passed last March(iirc) to tack this onto? They are shameless!! McConnell needs to go. Kennedy from Louisiana is just all talk and showed his true colors by voting yes, Cornyn from Texas needs to go too as well as the rest that voted yes.

There is wording and dates in the bill that commits the next President to this spending as well.

How can the US keep just printing money and why are they so excited about it are they just laundering money through these Countries and rite back into their pockets ?

a reply to: Ravenwatcher

I have no idea but I do believe that they are skimming money from this. Some of them are not running again and I guess trying to get all padded up for retirement.

Here is the war funding supplemental they attached to HR 815 Veterans emergency care funding bill the house passed last March:

It gets more incredible that this $481 million is snuck in for more money to nonprofits for more immigrants for housing assistance, medical assistance, legal assistance, and case management assistance.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families refugee and entrant assistance
For an additional amount for ``Refugee and Entrant Assistance'', $481,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2025, for refugee and entrant assistance activities authorized by section 414 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and section 501 of the Refugee Education Assistance Act of 1980: Provided, That amounts made available under this heading in this Act may be used for grants or contracts with qualified organizations, including nonprofit entities, to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services, including wraparound services, housing assistance, medical assistance, legal assistance, and case management assistance: Provided further, That amounts made available under this heading in this Act may be used by the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (Director) to issue awards or supplement awards previously made by the Director

Adding to previous post:

Here is a different part of the bill for an additional almost $3.5 BILLION for more immigrants:

Department of State
migration and refugee assistance
For an additional amount for ``Migration and Refugee Assistance'', $3,495,000,000, to remain available until expended, to address humanitarian needs and assist refugees in response to the situations in Israel and Ukraine, and for assistance for other vulnerable populations and communities:

Trojan horse in the Bill will trigger impeachment of any president who attempts to block Ukraine aid, going forward.

It's obvious Ukraine money laundering is the keystone Golden goose for top politicians in the United States.

Things are coming to a head!

a reply to: WeMustCare

I heard a few of the Senators speaking about this Trojan horse also.
Things are definitely coming to a head; didn’t someone say something about- you have to show them so they will understand?

Our impotent 32% approval president is on the air now demanding that the US House pass this Trojan horse aid package for Ukraine.

The more he wants it, the smaller the chance it will pass. This crooked old dementia patient still does not comprehend that Americans understand what their true motivation is.

a reply to: OnlyYouKnow2

Joe Biden is putting what's left of his political capital on the line right now. If this bill does not pass, he may turn things over to Kamala.

But then again there is that threat of him being arrested, for stealing highly classified documents, once he's no longer president.

a reply to: OnlyYouKnow2

Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
Susan Collins of Maine
John Cornyn of Texas
Joni Ernst of Iowa
Chuck Grassley of Iowa
John Kennedy of Louisiana
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
Jerry Moran of Kansas
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
Mitt Romney of Utah
Mike Rounds of South Dakota
Dan Sullivan of Alaska
John Thune of South Dakota
Thom Tillis of North Carolina
Roger Wicker of Mississippi
Todd Young of Indiana.

But... But... those are many of the republican senators I like.

Why does it always have to line up that way?



We'll stop getting in your way revamping this isolationism thing soon enough.

I think many people are missing the intent of Trumps NATO comments, he's possibly laying the groundwork to say it amounts to a "pay for protection scheme" and reinforce his call to reassess American participation in the "protection racket". That's the ultimate isolationist move.

Left = Globalist, Woke culture, Gov Regulation
Right = Isolationist, Traditional culture, Gov Deregulation

It's getting harder to fall anywhere in between.

The Schumer-CIA mind weapon that made Mitch McConnell a zombie periodically, worked marvelously.

McConnell is now just as evil as Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer.

The $61 Billion for Ukraine, would build a big beautiful wall across the entire US-Mex border!
