It will be grand! It will be beauteous!

It will be all over FOX and the Red team will roar and gloat and the blueD team will belly ache and cry out about the racist Nazis-- nothing will change

Oh yes, strongly worded letter in one hand and another's hand leaving deposits in Grassley's pocket.

I've sat through this play too many times.

Artillery is breaking in Ukraine. It’s becoming a problem for the Pentagon.

Check the donations to the DNC and Democrat politicians. That probably accounts for most of that $20 billion. The rest went to the Biden’s and the “Clinton Foundation”.

In business, it would be tracked to the penny. Government is way too big with way too much money.

You should see the dramatic and comprehensive efforts that companies take to make sure that cooperation payments made for social programs don’t get into the wrong hands. This is to avoid charges of FCPA violations. Often the measures taken to secure these payments for programs cost more than the programs themselves.

I doubt such efforts were made by the plugs administration.

While some staunch Ukraine allies fear Republicans will cut off aid to the country

How stupid can a statement be? The repooblican war mongers are in with both feet for financing ukraine.

Repooblicans love their mailbox money just like the deamoncraps do. Gotta keep those “campaign contributions” rolling in so we can continue to have the best gooberment money can buy.

The artillery needs the routine maintenance it requires and is getting it.

Yes, follow the extortion money. More important: find out what ukraine has on the big guy that they will reveal if the money stops.

McConnell, Pelosi et al went to Ukraine before we began financing their war with Russia. If they weren’t there to set up accountability procedures what were they there for? Kickback procedures!

Note that total aid is far more. Way back in May 20, 2022 the NY Times wrote, Four Ways to Understand the $54 Billion in U.S. Spending on Ukraine [as of May 20: + in July 2022 an additional $1.7 billion in aid to Ukraine + On July 12 Democrats Urge New $650 Billion IMF Aid on Ukraine. ; Sep 8, 2022 — $2.8 Billion in Additional U.S. Military Assistance for Ukraine; Oct 14, 2022-US sending $725 million more in military aid to ... - Military Times; On Aug 24, 2022-U.S. Announces $2.98 Billion in Aid to Ukraine; Oct 28, 2022-U.S. to send $275 million more in aid to Ukraine - CBS News; Nov 4, 2022- U.S. to send $400 million more military aid to Ukraine - PBS]

For balance,.

A recent poll has also shown that the number of Republicans who feel the U.S. is doing too much for Ukraine rose from 6 percent in March 2023 to 30 percent of all Americas - and 48 percent of all Republicans - at the end of October.2...Much of this rising U.S. opposition to continuing aid to Ukraine does, however, come from only considering its cost and ignoring the strategic benefits it provides to the U.S. It is developing because far too much of the reporting on the Ukraine war ignores the fact that the U.S. has already obtained major strategic benefits from aiding the Ukraine,..

I have little faith that the Republichickens will go anywhere with this.

But if they did, I wonder how much of it they would find that made its way back to Biden?

I feel sorry for the people of Ukraine, but anything for them except food and medical aid, needs stop immediately. Their government is a corrupt money laundering entity. God save us from the evil of OUR present government, who not only wants to destabilize us AND the world, but will not bat an eyelash at sacrificing the very life blood our troops.

Democrats are afraid that some of this money will have proven to be sent to Biden and/or Democrat donors. The main stream media loved to say “Trump Russia collusion” for 3 years. Let’s see if the media is willing to say “Biden Ukraine Democrat Donor money laundering.”
