House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) reportedly said the House of Representatives would cobble together a Ukraine aid bill while speaking with Republican senators on Wednesday during a retreat on Capitol Hill.
The Hill’s Alexander Bolton reported on the conversations that occurred at the Library of Congress during the annual Republican Senate retreat and emphasized the speaker “cautioned that what comes out of the House will look substantially different than the $95 billion foreign aid package the Senate passed last month.”
Per Bolton, Johnson suggested a lend-and-lease program during the meeting but did not mention whether border security measures would be attached to the framework of a bill:

Let them help themselves to all the stuff Biden abandoned in Afghanistan.
Not everything is admirable just because it floats.
I could tell he was going to cave like a loser at Biden’t SOTU. If Johnson think we believe Ukraine is going to pay us back, he is more stupid than he looks like. And what about the border Mike? The ball was in the RAT court to deliver on their part of the deal and now you give away leverage like a pathetic coward.
I really wanted to like this guy but I think he is a weak sister.
How about they build a wall, deport the criminal aliens, and then we’ll talk.
It’s not like normal people don’t recognize Putin’s aggression for what it is. But there are basic problems to be taken care of in the USA first.
No, no, NO!!!!!! Hold the line Johnson!
Ukraine is Over.
You better speak up for Israel instead.
Spend-And-Steal, not Lend-And-Lease.
It’ll be a KILLING FIELD!
Border is still wide open.
Millions of organizations decide on a daily basis NOT to give or lease things to other organizations about to go out of business. Nothing more than epidemic delusion.
Exactly
“Johnson told senators that the House will send a Ukraine aid package to the Senate but floated the idea of making it a loan or lend-lease program so U.S. taxpayers would not be shelling out tens of billions of dollars without any expectation of getting a return, according to senators who participated in the discussion.
The Speaker also talked about including something similar to the REPO for Ukrainians Act, sponsored by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), which would authorize the confiscation of Russian sovereign assets and deposit the proceeds of liquidated property into a Ukraine support fund, senators said.”
So it’s just a “loan” that Ukraine will pay us back some day? And we are going to confiscate Russia currency and gold on deposit in American banks and gave it to Ukraine.
Every nation on earth will see that and get their cash and gold out of American banks.
DC sucks and hates America.
Just imagine if they put half as much care and concern for Americans needs as they did Ukraine or Taiwan.
it all floats down here

Yeah, he was nodding approvingly at Biden’s mention of Ukraine. I saw that too.
Another penny to Ukraine and Johnson should be forced out as Speaker.
When Zelensky sells his Swiss real estate, and sells his multi-million dollar luxury yachts and his wife's Parisian jewels and furs …
The best way to achieve peace in Ukraine is to give it the Carthage treatment.
i could hear his pickets growing and getting deeper and deeper and deeper.
vacate

chair
