🚨 I have it on good authority that The Firm™️ intends to force through the Ukraine aid portion of the supplemental aid package (minus the border bill) tomorrow.
Do you want to give $60B to Ukraine, knowing that the entire budget of the U.S. Marine Corps in FY2023 was $53.8B?🚨

These idiots are so concerned about the borders of other nations while purposely leaving ours open and preventing anyone else from changing it.
Only 5 billion requested for a border wall, denied.
But now well over 150 billion for Ukraine.
But they said we didn’t have 5 billion for the wall.
I really saw red flags over the $6 billion for uranium enrichment in a “Border Security Bill”.
The requirement was funding to stop the border crisis or nothing for other countries.
Here is the real issue. The EU forced 50 billion euros into Ukraine and provided no details because they dared not. The Hungary PM Orban released some details.
That 50b is over 4 years divided equally. The Ukraine government requires about one and a half b per month to operate, but the really critical thing is the IMF loans in place have to be serviced and they’re going to eat up more than the remainder of that annual chunk. In other words, the EU did what they did to Greece in 2013. They forced loans to be accepted knowing that almost all of that loan would do nothing more than service pre-existing loans, and thereby allow the IMF to continue to say it has never had a default.
So they’re going to play this game and say well we offered you border money and you refused it. I suspect the GOP Senators will hold firm on this. McConnell probably cares more about Ukraine than the border, but there may not be the 9 votes for cloture — and Sinema might say no, too.
Stand firm! And screw ‘The Firm’… not another American penny for the floundering UKRAINE PROJECT.
Last I heard, spending bills HAD to originate in the house. The Speaker needs to pimp slap McConnell.
Not sure if you saw this down that thread-
Grok’s definition of the firm-

Very entertaining!
Closing the southern border doesn't need ANY extra money.
That $5B was to enhance the O'Biden "parole processing" so as to get the turd world migrants dispersed into the country quicker. And give raises to CBP union bigwigs to buy their support.
The meme that Ukraine funding is starving the border is BS. Muskovite propaganda.
Send the money to the Marines. They can use it to hire more female officers.
Senator Lee is not pushing "Muskivite propaganda."
His question stands. "Do you want to give $60B to Ukraine, knowing that the entire budget of the U.S. Marine Corps in FY2023 was $53.8B?"
$1,000,000,000,000+ a year caring for illegals.
“The meme that Ukraine funding is starving the border”
Lol.
Not the point.
Way to deliberately miss the point.
Bravo, good show.
But while we’re at it, where’s the money coming from and where’s the accountability?
Yeah, that’s kinda odd too.
What are they up to?
An excellent question.
Why indeed are we giving away the sum equivalent to the entirety of the Marine Corps budget especially when they complain about recruiting shortfall and equipment issues?
The “Firm” are Useful Idiocy Enablers for the #JihadJunta.
Just another example out of endless examples that our government is under enemy occupation. Every day we’re being ripped off, scammed, screwed
“Border security” money in a congressional bill can do the complete opposite of what ignorant voters (or stupid GOP congressmen) believe. The Biden-Schumer gang has been swindling us much too long.
Here comes the end of Aerica.
WHat are these idjits thinking...the military indistrial complex of our nation must be slavering at their mouths and havuing fits? Let them rot for a while so we can preserve Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.......Californicatia is lost.
JOhnson has got to stand firm in the House.
$53B for the Corps and maybe $10B for chuckholes and picking up blown truck tires and dead animals off the roads.
