The Senate has approved a massive $95 billion emergency foreign aid package with no U.S. border security.
A group of RINOs joined Democrats to support the bill. The measure passed by a vote of 79 to 18.
The passing of the bill saw 48 Democrats joined by 31 Republicans in favor, with the majority of the RINOs supporting the foreign aid efforts. However, 15 Republicans broke ranks to vote against the package, joining three Democrats in opposition.
The finalized bill encompasses extensive provisions:
$47.7 billion through the Defense Department to support Ukraine’s military with training, equipment, weapons, and logistical aid. $13.4 billion to restock U.S. military equipment sent to Ukraine. $20.5 billion for U.S. Armed Forces support in Europe. $9.5 billion in economic aid to Ukraine as a forgivable loan. Added to this is 15 billion** in military aid designated for Israel and **9 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza and other conflict zones, a point of contention for conservative Republicans concerned about the funds being intercepted by Hamas. The bill also allots $8 billion to counter Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific and introduces legislation that could lead to a forced divestment or potential ban of TikTok in the United States.

“Today the Senate sends a unified message to the entire world. America will always defend democracy in its hour of need. We tell our allies we will stand with you. We tell our adversaries don’t mess with us,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer declared on the Senate floor per NBC.
“If we want the world to remain a safe place for freedom, for democratic principles, and for our future prosperity, then America must lead the way. And with this bill, the Senate declares that American leadership will not waver, not falter, not fail.”
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said U.S. “adversaries want America to decide that reinforcing allies and partners is not in our interest and that investing in strategic competition is not worth it. They want us to take hard-earned credibility and light it on fire.”
“But today, the Senate responded by reaffirming a commitment to rebuild and modernize our military, restore our credibility, and give the current commander in chief, as well as the next, more tools to secure our interests,” he continued.
This vote comes after the globalist sycophants, led by globalist Speaker Mike Johnson, passed three separate foreign-aid bills that will provide funding to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, transferring a total of $95 billion from the U.S. Treasury directly to foreign governments. The massive foreign-aid package now heads to Joe Biden, where it will be rubber-stamped and signed.
“I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.
Earlier, 29 Senate Republicans voted to advance the $95 Billion Foreign aid bill:
Senator Boozman (AR) Senator Britt (AL) Senator Capito (WV) Senator Cassidy (LA) Senator Collins (ME) Senator Cornyn (TX) Senator Cotton (AR) Senator Cramer (ND) Senator Crapo (ID) Senator Ernst (IA) Senator Fischer (NE) Senator Graham (SC) Senator Grassley (IA) Senator Hoeven (ND) Senator Hyde-Smith (MS) Senator Kennedy (LA) Senator Lankford (OK) Senator McConnell (KY) Senator Moran (KS) Senator Mullin (OK) Senator Murkowksi (AK) Senator Ricketts (NE) Senator Risch (ID) Senator Romney (UT) Senator Rounds (SD) Senator Sullivan (AK) Senator Thune (SD) Senator Tillis (NC)

I’m not the one who supports the Democrats and Ukraine over America.
Besides which, you smugly stated that you aren’t an American.
Geography and geology have not changed so I’m at a loss to parse his hallucination.
It’s a start.
Even a displacing jest is a start.
This tells us a bit about you.
I’ve done a thousand interviews, probably.
Normally at this point I would go into (pretend polite interest and go through ass-covering procedures) before ending the interview. But luckily for you I’m retired.
So, start. Who and what are you?
In what way is it “over America”?
It is a misunderstanding of reality that has lost.
Get a map.
Find America.
Look at where our borders are.
Now look for the words “Ukraine” within those borders.
Look at southern border.
Do you see ukraine anywhere there?
This is just a variation on the Soviet propaganda line of the 1950’s-80’s.
In re the illegitimacy of US forces presence in West Germany.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4210977/posts <===McConnell and the other uniparty tards care more about other borders than our own.
And there you go with the sneering “everything I don’t like is Russian propaganda”.
Sit down child. 11 March 2004.
Yes, Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Grumman-Northrup to name a few.
I agree that it’s over. They also know it’s over and that’s why they’re dishing out all that money. They have deep pockets.
The first path to take is to carry on as much as possible and be ready to hunker down into survival mode. Then take things as they come and react appropriately.
Brilliant! I'm stealing it. . .

In order to keep feeding the Ukraine laundry machine they needed to put Taiwan and Israel in it
Degenerates are drawn to degeneracy such as throwing slabs of our cash at a greasy, B-grade actor who has paraded around naked in front of children, pretends to play the piano with his penis, prances around in a rough trade gay leather outfit, offered an ambassadorship to a satanist and treats the US like it owes him and the corruptocrats surrounding him a blank check.
It is only natural that degenerates and sociopaths like most US Congresscritters will gleefully wave the flag of a country notorious for child trafficking, organ trafficking, money laundering, neo-Nazi militias, massive corruption in all sectors - all of it supported by politicians, ideologues, corporations and NGOs that abhor traditional, Judeo-Christian Westerners and their sensibilities. To expect them to act otherwise is delusional.

Sullivan

Graham
Romney
Cotton
Surprised that Rubio didn’t vote for it since he’s a member of the club. McCain chaired the club for 25 years before Sullivan took over.
Zelensky has taken The Ukraine and smashed it into pieces. He has ordered the death of 500,000 young men and now he’s working on the disabled, young women and old men. When he could have had peace, he chose war, because that’s what this Young version of Churchill was told to do. He has canceled elections, closed Christian churches, outlawed opposing political parties, tortured and killed an American journalist, and has roamed the halls of congress with a beggar’s cup and that disgusting flag. He’s a Vicky Nuland puppet, installed after a CIA-inspired color revolution. The Ukraine Project is a scam, a ruse, a grift of the first order, one promoted by enemies foreign and domestic. We have heard their call for war and we reject. We’ve seen this all before and we know how it ends. We will not comply.
Those divisions are stoked by a divide-and-conquer strategy, very successfully; look at the alarm as more blacks and legal Hispanics turn to Trump. It will be 24/7 race-baiting for months before the election...
I guess we are all Ukrainians now.
Wise Americans pass legislation investing in the future of Israel and Ukraine
