This will start showing in Congressional speeches and votes. And is a turning point in discussion now.

The inexorable slide to the US abandoning Ukraine.

They've studied history and know this, right?

Thank you for referencing that article Mariner.

"CNN Poll: Majority of Americans oppose more US aid for Ukraine in war with Russia"


If more post-17th Amendment ratification, Trump-supporting Democratic and Republican patriots were up to speed with the federal governments's constitutionally limited powers, they'd be able to point out the following MAJOR problem with US foreign aid.

The states never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific power to tax and spend in the name of foreign aid, foreign aid therefore unconstitutional imo.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, Justice Joseph Story had pointed out that peacetime foreign aid is unconstitutional.

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).

The bottom line concerning renegade state and federal governments trying to destroy our constitutional republic is this. Patriots need to support Trump 47 in putting the country back on its constitutional foundations by primarying ALL state and federal incumbent lawmakers and executives up for reelection in 2024 imo, except for MTG, Gaetz, (others?).

After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.

Exclusive: Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘Dumbfounded’ GOP Colleagues Will Not Call for Biden’s Impeachment! (6.10.23)

In fact, consider that since one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers imo), the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is arguably a delay with mail delivery.

Trump can endorse candidates from lists that patriots who respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers provide for him, as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments after they win office.

The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.

Patriots, let's not allow ourselves to be fooled for third time in 2024 by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments.

Don’t blame the U.S. for Putin’s aggression. He wanted to overthrow and liquidate Ukraine’s political leadership, and he failed.

They’ve studied history, and learned that you don’t appease aggressors.

Ukraine and Russia are not the concern of the US taxpayers.

Gotta love “Free” Republic!

When polls don’t say what we want: THE POLLS ARE WRONG!

When polls do say what some want: THIS PROVES WHAT I WANT TO SAY!

*both are used extensively by the Putinist fan club.
