DEMOCRATS ARE RUSHING THROUGH A MASSIVE UKRAINE DEFENSE BILL

DEMOCRATS IN THE House of Representatives are planning to expedite a massive bill that would dramatically increase U.S. security assistance to Ukraine and lay the groundwork for substantial new sanctions on Russia — hastening a war-friendly posture without opportunity for dissent as concerns over a military invasion abound.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told members on a caucus call Tuesday that she’s looking to skip marking up the bill and move it straight to the House floor, setting up the possibility of a vote as soon as early next week, two congressional sources told The Intercept. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they’re not authorized to talk to the press. Pelosi’s office did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Every penny should be spent to guard the US border with Mexico.

Sending money to the Ukraine is totally insane while our own border is wide open...

The Republicans better make sure the election bill is not buried inside that thing!

When Pelosi wants a bill to pass without proper procedures you know there’s nothing good about it....not even a little.

The US, UK, and Russia pledged to respect Ukraine's border in 1994. In the Budapest Agreement, Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons for promises that their borders and sovereignty would be respected. Our interest is standing by our pledge. It isn't just a matter of national honor. If Russia takes Ukraine, no one will trust our promises, and the floodgates will open with countries around the world developing and fielding nuclear weapons.

The Democrat party thrives on fraud. Their core values are in the bottom of their moldy BIG Bag of Dirty Tricks...and then Joe gets his 10%. The Party gets theirs first.

Paul Pelosi has huge investments in Ukranian energy.

Nan has to stop those from crumbling......

If only Democrats were this hawkish when Russia was AKA the Soviet Union.

Tax Increase revolt in Ukraine today in front of parliament......doesn't look like Ukraine is worried about war.....

Yes. And Even without a declaration they get away with imposing many additional restrictions on individual liberties and controls over our economy
