This item is from about three weeks ago. Ukraine seems to have fallen off of all radar screens and disappeared from the news lately. The explanation for that is probably interesting...
They want more money so they can continue to line their pockets.
Look in the mirror, you useless pedophile.
Biden thinks he can just order people around.
.
The GOP has given him every single thing he’s wanted. There has been zero compromise, he gets it all.
McCarthy agreed to all the Ukraine spending behind closed doors, and his Binky is gone - and he doesn’t even want his money late.
Joe and Congress did want any controls nor audits on the money and they’ve gotten greedy. They need to build the next Fortune in those Off shore accounts.
“Israel was attacked by terrorists ? “
“Best I can do is $100 billion for Ukraine.”
From the guy who so far hasn’t likely worked a full 48 hours during the days he been usurper-in-thief.
The Democrats should have voted to keep McCarthy because he gave Biden everything he asked for. Nope. They wanted to remove him because he wasn’t on their team.
BTTT!!!!
😀😆😊😂🤣🤣🤪🤪😁😁😁
Will Biden be the last president of the United States?
That obviously isn't going to work in future time. I would suggest that a new anthem for whatever is left of the place needs to say something about going over minefields instead of charging into them... Helicopters would not work for that, they'd just be shot down by Russian air defense systems. The answer has to involve cannons...
New Lyrics:
Goodbye cruel world
I'm off to join the circus
Off to become a supersonic clown
Shoot me from a cannon I don't care
Past them Russian minefields through the air
I'll tell the world them Russians
As mean as they could be
Them mean evil Russians
Made a flyin clown outta me....

In total, about $113.1 billion in funding for Ukraine was authorized in 2022, according to an analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Most of that – about $67.1 billion – was for defense-related spending, the CRFB said. The other $46 billion included $26.9 billion for an economic support fund; $7.9 billion for international disaster assistance; $6.6 billion in assistance for refugees; $1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia; plus another $3.1 billion for other non-defense spending.
The U.S. Agency for International Development has been coordinating with the Treasury Department to distribute authorized economic aid to Ukraine in tranches. In a report published on Feb. 17, USAID said it had so far provided $13 billion in “direct budget support” to the government of Ukraine, or “GoU” for short.
“This funding has helped the Ukraine pay the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders,” the report says. “It has also helped them to sustain critical healthcare services, meet its pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people, assist 1.3 million internally displaced persons, provide housing assistance to 4.1 million people, and provide social assistance to 240,000 low-income families and 480,000 persons with disabilities.”
That report did not say how many US tax dollars were spent on pensions, but a USAID spokesperson sent us another USAID report to Congress that indicated $4 billion of budget support for Ukraine was spent on pensions as of Nov. 30, 2022.
While the infamous video of Biden talking about providing funding to pay Ukrainian pensioners may have caught some by surprise, the fact is that Biden made those comments BEFORE Congress approved the money months ago on a bipartisan basis.
Money Laundering is hard work.....
