US senators Graham and Blumenthal arrive in Kyiv to meet with Zelenskyy, announce Senate expected to move ahead with bill to impose a 500% tariff on goods imported from countries that buy Russian oil
“Enough of talking, it’s time to act,” Graham told reporters during a visit in Kyiv on Friday. “I would expect next week that the Senate will start moving the sanctions bill.”
Graham and Blumenthal. There’s a couple of butt-buddies for ya.
And nothing screams acting like wasting $100,000 on a stupid trip to Ukie Land.
A more dastardly duo of douchebaggery you’ll not find.
Did they go there to pick up their 10%?
Graham is a cancer within the Republican party and has to be defeated in the next primary.

Oh, so now we are sanctioning not only Russia, but countries that do business with Russia. Wow.
I didn’t catch the evening news last night. So I guess I missed the announcement that we are now rulers of the entire world.
What could go wrong with that? 🙄
“Enough talking…it’s time to throw Linda out of the cargo door of a transport”
😄👍
Think of the humanity below...
Fully in agreement.
These two morons are doubling down on the economic destruction of our country.
Frankly, I seriously doubt that they actually do have a veto proof majority in both houses of Congress
I suppose it was inevitable that money for Ukraine, or sanctions for Ukraine, was going to evolve to be the price of Graham’s vote for the budget bill.
And maybe others.
This sanctions bill would never get past Trump, unless that explicit threat is public.
A scumbucket three-way.
Linda and Ms.Stolen valor. I wish they both would just stay there.
The world has to come to understand that scarcity is real. Oil is not infinite.
We will have the official numbers for global consumption in about 3 weeks. A good estimate is 104 million barrels/day.
China and India grow their consumption 5% and 11% per year respectively.
Russia, in cooperation with OPEC+, has reduced its output to 9 mbpd. Consumption is about 3.6. China and India HAVE to buy that. There is nowhere else who are not already fully supplying customers.
And btw, if you imagine that there is excess production capacity in the world, ask yourself why KSA or UAE or whoever you thinks has this excess capacity would want to produce it now, at $60/barrel, rather than leave it in the ground for their grandchildren. This imagination that oil countries have any focus on US desires, rather than their own grandchildren, is just silly.

Yeah, they’re going to try to convince Zelensky to keep begging President Trump for more money so they and others in the DC criminal cabal can keep getting their monetary kickbacks.
Was this approved by the President?
Blumenthal Lis a grade A Democrat dunce while Giddy Graham isn’t much better.
