What was the total cost of the border wall that Trump was asking for repeatedly in each spending bill but Schumer and Pelosi kept saying g was "too expensive?" I am pretty sure it was something under 40 billion, like 33 billion or something like that, and it was being asked for in five or seven billion dollar chunks, every chunk was called too wasteful and too expensive.

Republicans -- the few that actually want border security and not the ones that talk a good game but really enjoy the cheap labor for their donors that is -- should look at this as an absolute layup as an issue for their campaign. Take footage of this contrast, wrap it up with a nice little bow and make their campaign commercials about this.

I heard that on the radio.

Shouldn’t the amount kicked in be inversely correlated with the distance from the trouble”?

$40B >> $0.5B

“We are the commies now. “

Unfortunately, pretty much.

It seems we need a lot more mirrors for people to see that they are missing the fact that we are the commies now whether we want it or not.

The Politicians of America and the Democratic National Committee have discovered a gold mine. This thing will last for a thousand years. Or runs out of peasants to send over there. One thing for damn sure, the Neo Cons, the Globalists, the preachers. the deacons, the amen corner of the church of Soros worshipers wont be there. They will remain America counting their blood money.

Most of this money goes right back to politicians and the deep state Ukraine is how they launder the money.

“...this money goes right back to politicians...”

A $12B slush fund for Foggy Bottom shows that to be true.

I just read the $40 billion includes salaries for Ukrainian leaders. The USA (American taxpayers) are completely propping up a Ukrainian puppet government that cannot even pay the salaries of its leaders without American money.

Ukraine is an organized crime syndicate.

My guess is Zelensky and his stooges are blackmailing the U.S. Congress by threatening to disclose all of the rotten things American politicians have done in Ukraine if the Ukes don’t get their bribes...Pronto ! !

This urgency does not sound like Ukraine is on the verge of victory. On the contrary. Ukraine is likely spiraling down in flames.

I’d rather give the Russians the money. Putin is the only one fighting the globohomo elite. If Traitors like BiDeN hates Putin he’s probably a good person.

I think we are the commies now . I’d rather have my money used to take out the communist leaders In Canada and Australia then fight Russia . Atleast Russia protects Christians and doesn’t teach Russian children to hate white people or to cut their dicks off.

Both sides are spilling a lot of blood for very little territory.

There will be decades of bitter Russian-Ukrainian hatred because American diplomats failed to act.

Ironically, Khrushchev was born in Ukraine. You may be right about that.
