Johnson signals shift on Ukraine to GOP senators
The Hill ^ | 14-MARCH-2024 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Posted on 03/14/2024 6:14:28 AM PDT by SpeedyInTexas

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told Republican senators Wednesday to expect the House to send them legislation to help Ukraine, but cautioned that what comes out of the House will look substantially different than the $95 billion foreign aid package the Senate passed last month.

Johnson tried to reassure frustrated GOP senators who asked him about funding for Ukraine during a question-and-answer session at the annual Senate Republican retreat, which was held at the Library of Congress.

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 that 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. Mike 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."

Follow the grift. The boys on the receiving end want their money and that ain’t the Ukies.

Same thing that always happens. They are lying. Scumbags. I wish we could vote them all out. Problem is, there aren’t any decent people running.

“I believe history will assess these three weeks as the most productive weeks of the 118th congress,” Gaetz said in an interview in his Capitol office. “Because now we have both a man and a plan.”

The Hill is nothing but propaganda and lies. Blind State Department and Fed Gov shills.

I Never go there.

For a Southern Baptist with “a biblical worldview”, Johnson has surprisingly little trouble lying to his most consistent supporters and catering to his base’s enemies. Is he duplicitous or cowardly? If the latter, I ask that he examine Revelation 21:8. Cowards are first in line to be cast into the “Lake of Fire”.

I see your point.

Looks powerful and relaxed!

Quite a contrast with the prancing flamer on the other side.

Which will never be paid back. And Speaker Johnson has to know it. But the whole “loan” idea will keep the rubes quiet for a little while longer. So there’s that.

As a side note, I have no dog in this Ukraine/Russia war. There is plenty of blame to go around. But my goodness. Doesn’t anyone care about the American taxpayer? I guess not.

I do believe that the epicenter of Biden's Regime now resides in the Senate. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

If he gives a penny to Ukraine, he needs to be removed as Speaker.

Besides being the poorest country, pulling up their pre-war history shows default after default, corruption to tge highest levels. Put simply, the EU is broke, why would they ever allow the most corrupted nation in Europe to join? Ukraine is the EU’s basket case of all nations, they have nothing to bring to the table but debt and corruption. ———————- “ Ukraine Cut to Default by S&P After Creditors OK Debt-Payment Delay Nation lowered to SD from CC by S&P; Cut to RD from C by Fitch Creditors approved debt proposal to delay payments until 2024…” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-12/ukraine-cut-to-default-by-s-p-after-creditors-ok-debt-delay

Gutless American traitors.

With some exceptions, Congress is the employment haven for incompetent poor performers who stumble through each day surrounded by expensive staffers who do everything for them.

Somehow their staffs must be severely limited, their expenses capped, and their terms limited. Senators must have their terms limited to two, four-year terms while representatives serve four, two-year terms.

True The Hill is trash but we are expecting Johnson to find a way to cave. The rats are sending a discharge petition through and there are probably 5 rino’s ready to fund Traitor Joe’s money laundering operation. 5 will do it.
