“was Hunters cash cow, 10% for the Big Guy, Soros has his tentacles deep in that country, and most of all, Biden wants an ongoing Ukraine aid to use as a shiny object to deflect attention to and away from his failures on domestic policy.”
Under whose watch in Ukraine did all that happen? Not under the present government. So it has what to do with Putin’s war? Zip, zilch, nada. Do you know what % of $4.79 trillion that $40 billion represents??? I can think of dozens have $40 billion in federal spending I’d revoke, it it was material to getting the $40 billion. But it isn’t.
Nearly all the things that are the priorities are caused by Biden and can be remedied by Biden without Congress - from the border crisis on. Would not spending the $40 billion solve any of them? No. Can any of them begin to be solved before we have a GOP majority in Congress? No. So, again, not giving the Ukraine the $40 billion will achieve what???? It will achieve nothing but making the political statement that it is.
Both of mine voted NO
We wouldn’t be here if they didn’t steal the election from Trump.
Bingo!! One of my senators voted against it (Cynthia Loomis) while the other (Barrasso) voted for it. Barrasso has his nose so far up McConnell’s but it is hard to tell them apart.
How is this being paid for?
Too bad we couldn’t have given them the billions of dollars of equipment Biden left in Afghanistan.
You deflecting to when it started doesn’t undo the corruption is still ongoing.
But you apparently don’t care that Soros is still embedded in that country, that he helped to finance Zelensky being elected, etc, because you avoid that. Hmmmmm.
And I know you had to have seen the corrupt politicians like Adam Schiff, Pelosi, etc, going over to Ukraine.
There will be little to no oversight over this bill and we need that 40 billion to protect our borders from this ongoing invasion here.
And you sound like a typical Washington spendaholic saying 40 billion isnt that much. It adds up fast as that’s why were in a major mess.
And stop making excuses concerning Biden. Go after his failures as a conservative would.
Now take Biden to task over him needed a shiny object in Ukraine to take attention off of his failed policies at home, take on Soros being tied to the hip of Zelensky, wnd then we all will know you are opposed to the corruption of the slush fund known as Ukraine, that you are opposed to Zelensky being tied to Soros, and that you aren’t a neocon or a liberal with evidence from you.
My TN congress critter voted against it, as well...three for three!
There is no reason to believe that Russia is going to attack a NATO country in the future.
Did ANYONE honestly believe that these bastards were about to give up their laundered money going into their off shore accounts, come on man!!!
and not one cent for our border.
Of course not. I heard Bannon mention that Ukraine is the third-most corrupt country on the planet...so is America #1 or #2???
My Blackburn and Hagerty of TN
Thank you
Trump should ask Blackburn to be his VP.
Your whole issue is a deflection and irrelevant to why Putin started his war.
:)
All the ones that voted for it are getting some of it back. It’s there 40 billion dollar retirement.
Churchill and Patton
There will be no VP in their 70s when the president is even older. Ain’t happenin’.
If we get as much for the next $40 billion, I'm pretty sure we won't have to go to war with Russia for a very long time.
There was no reason to think that Russia was going to attack Ukraine. They promised they had no intention of invading.
