Republicans and Democrats in Congress have authorized more than $110 billion in American taxpayer money to be sent to Ukraine to support the nation’s fight against Russia since the war started. Meanwhile, most of the nearly 2,000-mile United States-Mexico border remains without any barrier.
As part of a year-end $1.7 trillion spending package, 18 Senate Republicans and nine House Republicans voted with Democrats to throw another $45 billion in taxpayer money at Ukraine — bringing the total amount of taxpayer money sent to Ukraine, authorized by Congress, to more than $110 billion.

And on and on.
Why is Buy-DUNG more concerned with Ukraine’s territorial integrity and borders than our own?
Can you sat, “blackmail”?
I knew you could.
I have always despised our two party system. But now it seems we don’t even have a two party system any longer. We have one unitary system of bribes and corruption who vote in lockstep for themselves and despise the American constituents.
No longer do we have a government that represents the will of the electorate but rather the self serving benefit of the elected.
I am done voting for the lesser of two evils and will no longer support any of these self serving degenerates.
Rather than our elected leaders holding corrupt federal agencies accountable, they now reward them with bonuses and entitlements.
No longer do they secure this nations vital interests, but bend over backwards for foreign interests where our corrupt leaders can continue to launder corruption for a wealthy return to line their own pocketbooks.
Judgement day will not look kindly to those who sell this country out.
A communist walks into a bar ... ouch.
Another communist saw him and walks into the same bar ... also ouch.
A third communist proclaims the others were not doing it right and that this time it will work.
... starts walking towards the bar....
They oppose the wall on principle, not because of cost.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Unaccountable, unconstitutional, desperate Democratic and RINO federal spending could be going to Ukraine, but we have no way of actually knowing that thanks to corrupt feds / media imo. All we really know is that the Democrats have once again criminally (imo) ripped off taxpayers.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
ALL the states desperately need to effectively "secede" from the unconstitutionally big federal government by repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments.
So the only thing keeping conservatives from getting what we want on the border and have wanted since 1965, is the Russian invasion launched 10 months ago.
I thought there was a little bit more to it than that, so no Ukraine, then the political system suddenly gives conservatives all the money for the causes we want.
not one dime to protect our border. Endless billions to protect borders on other side of world.
Clapping like seals’: Tucker Carlson compares Congress applauding Ukrainian president Zelensky to a clip of STALIN forcing his followers to cheer for him
I suppose if I thought Tucker Carlson’s opinions were worth even a bucket of warm spit, I might care what he said.
Why do all you NeverTrumps hate Tucker?
The collapse of America, the last superpower, was ordered full steam with OBiden stealing the office.
- Replace the native citizenry with illegals
- Destroy the currency (and middle class wealth) by printing it into worthlessness
- killing the economy to keep people poor and controllable and feeling helpless/hopeless
- Eliminate our military weaponry/arsenals so that we are much weaker as a global power
Falls right in line with state dept document “Freedom From War” plans.
But, they will continue to steal from us to fund their hateful acts against us and to enrich themselves.
...but we don’t have a single penny to spare. Like Chuck Shumer said, “We don’t have a spending problem, we have a paying for it problem.”
