Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer bragged on the Senate floor on Wednesday about how House Speaker Mike Johnson gave into Democratic demands in foreign aid packages.
Human Events' Jack Posobiec said he heard from a senior Republican official that Schumer "was just on the Senate floor bragging to other members about Speaker Johnson giving Democrats everything they wanted in the Ukraine and foreign aid packages."
Posobiec said on Human Events Daily Wednesday that there’s "nothing" in this package for the southern border. "Not one penny of this should be spent. None of these bills should go forward and any Republican who thinks that they could sign these bills before we have anything for our border should be looking for a new line of work."
Speaker Johnson announced on Wednesday that the House would convene a vote on Saturday to decide on the recent foreign aid package intended for Israel and Ukraine. This move comes despite significant Republican efforts to impede further spending on foreign countries.
The proposed legislation is similar to a $95 billion aid bill passed by the Senate two months ago, which allocated funds to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and other nations, according to the New York Times.
In addition to scheduling a vote on the aid package, Speaker Johnson has suggested that the House vote separately on aid allocations to individual countries.

This Ukraine funding deal is not a “Loan” as honest people define “loans.
Speaker Johnson’s Ukraine Foreign Aid Package is another contrived “no-repay loan” like Hunter Biden got from his sugar-daddy who, as a Biden donor, happened to have $60 million handily laying around (like most working class people do /s):
<><>the Ukraine “loan” allows Joe to “Forgive” 50% of the billions Nov 15, when Trump wins,
<><>or lets Biden forgive 100% of “the Loan” Later On (If he pulls off a 2nd election steal)
Rotflol......the billion dollar joke’s on us.
Zelensky knows that routine. Its already been tried.
Few years back, billions more of our tax dollars to Israel
were handed out———designated a do-good foreign aid “loan.”
But when it came time to pay, Israel got its lobbies to manhandle Congress.
The battered, bruised Congress sap-happily passed a law
.........saving its collective political ***es.......
quickly turning the foreign aid “loan” billions into a “gift.”
Tell Schumer to put HR2 up for a vote.
Keep in mind, he did this deliberately to shiv Johnson in the back. Because Johnson gave him a gift, but he certainly didn’t want Schumer to say this publicly.
It's Schumer and the Senate who have screwed the American People.
We all know that Israel and Ukraine will get their money one way or another. Stop fretting.
Get out the vote and 2024.
Sadly, even though he’s been exposed, Louisiana voters in the 4th congressional district will still reelect Mike Johnson in overwhelming numbers.
Republicans are their own worst enemy.
“reason he is bragging is to take Johnson down and get him replaced with someone more suitable for the Dems.”
It appears that Johnson is as “suitable” for the Dems as he could possibly be.

BTTT
Chuck always gets everything he wants from RINO scum.
Ukraine ping
[Yep, the deep-state Uniparty is real.]
The GOP primaries are finally over. In the jostling for global BMOC, there can be only one. It can be Trump, Xi or Putin. Letting Putin win would put him at the top.
Incidentally, swatting Putin down would also chasten Xi, make the guy think twice. To not roll the dice after a Putin victory would be cowardly. To not risk his bankroll after a Putin defeat in which no US troops were committed would be merely prudent.
Bull. Johnson is a Democrat pretending to be conservative and Christian. He’s neither.
A total worthless piece if human scum. May he meet a horrible, painful death. Hopefully with McCarthy.

Now what would you do if you were in Johnson's shoes.
Schumer does this on purpose. It works. They know it will pass anyway, but it serves to sow division within GOP ranks and makes it almost certain that Speaker Jeffries will be in place by the time Trump is to be sworn in...and that he never will be permitted to do so.
I can wield all I want...they'll still have the Senate and Brandon will still have his magic pen.
Johnson needs to be treated like Liz Cheney was. He absolutely must be forced to retire at the end of his term.
What a load of crap.
Johnson could have killed the FISA bill and pushed it through.
He blatantly broke his promise to pass legislation on the border before giving anymore money to Ukraine. That is the biggest broken promise made to the base since George HW Bush said "read my lips".
If all that is acceptable to you, YOU ARE THE ENEMY of American First conservatives.
Six Ways to Sunday.
Mike Johnson and Mitch McConnell
Ukraine is free money that is building many fortunes.
Congress and Senate voted explicitly not to have the money audited.
They’ll be dumping unaccounted funds into Ukraine ten years from now.
