Senate passed $95 Billion Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan/No Borders bill while you were sleeping this morning

[rightwinger]

Once you cut through that fantastical nonsense you're left with a Speaker aligned with Trump on Ukraine. Both support a policy ceding it to Putin. A reward for the atrocious war crimes he has ordered against a sovereign nation.

Carlson emerged from the interview shaking his head. “Russia is not an expansionist power,” he said. “You’d have to be an idiot to think that.” Actually, you might look at the evidence—the invasion and de-facto control over about a fifth of Georgia in 2008, the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the continued occupation of about a fifth of Ukraine and the ongoing offensive there—to conclude that Russia is an expansionist power. During the interview, Putin gave every indication that he thinks of former imperial possessions as still rightfully Russia’s. That would include not only former Soviet republics but also Finland and Poland. “The professional liars in Washington . . . are trying to convince you that this guy is Hitler, that he is trying to take the Sudetenland, or something,” Carlson continued. “Not analogous in any way!” In fact, Putin had clearly, and more explicitly than ever before, channelled Hitler during the interview. This is what a tyrant looks like: small, and full of tedious resentments.

Tucker Carlson Promised an Unedited Putin. The Result Was Boring

In an interview that lasted more than two hours, the Russian President aired well-trod grievances and gave a lecture full of spurious history meant to justify his war in Ukraine.

Tucker Carlson is a Tool

Still carrying Putin’s water

Ukraine means nothing to us. And there is something sinister about why many of our politicians showed up there. Dirty money and other financial things possibly? A transition point from east to west with payoffs abound? There are three distinct powers in the world that want dominance. Russia is not going after Europe. Europe is massively more powerful than pre WW 2. Russia is not under the influence of the globalists however lives within the framework of their power over the West. China speaks as aligned with the West on many things and will separate when they smell blood in the water. There is an alternate history. Just like Progs tell us aout their version of history on slavery and many other things. The alternate history with globalists in eras stirring the swill.

Talk is cheap. Your team voted against aid for Israel, what three times now? Its no longer a bug. Its a feature.

Its weird when MAGA are literally on the same side as the HAMAS supporters. But hey, you do what Your Leader TELLS YOU TO DO.

 

[shockedcanadian]

I remember your monarchy politicians and media screaming loudly that Trumps demand for $5B was an insane amount of money.

Are they trying to collapse the U.S dollar?

Yes, isn't it time we stop? You are arguing we should continue to throw away our wealth. Or rather we should get ourselves further and further into debt to start and fund stupid wars.

If it's so important, pay for it.

It would be great if we could. If we retreat from the New World Order that we and our Allies created after WWII, it would be appeasement for the authoritarian aggressors and a defeat for liberal democracies and constitutional republics all over the world. Fascism would rise again.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Billions in foreign aid and not one cent for our southern border.

That was the last bill the House declared DOA. Do you have no memory whatsoever?

All Russia wanted was to not have arms located on their borders.

Something we wouldn't have accepted either and Russia was or ally in WWII.

Benedict Donald forced his Neo-GOP Senators to killed the compromise Bill that included Border protection because he needs his cut of the fentanyl business as well as his cuts from the human smuggling rings to pay his mounting legal bills. He and his Neo-GOP wants to keep the borders open to everyone. It is also a gift to the smart terrorists like Hezbollah, and especially a huge gift to his good buddy Putin and his strong friend Xi.

 

[BlindBoo]

And where's the money coming from, professor?

The same place the 8 trillion dollars Benedict Donald added to the US debt came from. The sale of US Treasury notes, Padawan. We need a balance budget amendment to stop both parties and their disastrous decades long, deficit spending spree.

[Phactotum]

Why did the Dems lie

same reason that humans, BREATHE??

 

[Billiejeens]

If they can just print up money, why are any of us paying taxes in the first place?

At this point taxes are simply a way to punish success and other behavior that the establishment does not like.

So they invade Ukraine to have lots of NATO countries on their border. Thats incoherently illogical.

 

[two_iron]

Primary the grifters that voted for it. The gop needs to be purged. Fucking Cornyn... are you serious? That's a fucking democrat minus the kiddie porn. Get the fuck outta Texas you filthy piece of shit.

I paid attention to what was said before the invasion.

 

[two_iron]

That's the $46 Trillion question.

Feels like we're being played.... hmm?

 

[rightwinger]

address the issue instead of rambling that it is always the republicans fault and the democrats are somehow the victims

Funny this is exactly what the democrats did and are doing, They look at their time as leaders of the House to settle petty grievances, investigate conspiracy theories and conduct groundless impeachments,

It IS the Republicans fault.

They have ceased to be a legitimate Political Party
They have no agenda, they want to destroy our Democracy, they dislike the very Government they want to control.

 

[JohnDB]

Wait, you mean the Senator that has a father (Ron Paul) that had his own show on Russian propaganda network RT and whose campaign manager (Jesse Benton) went to prison for funneling Russian money to his political campaign is desperately lobbying to deny aid to a country on Putin's acquisition list?

 

[jwoodie]

Defund the US Senate. They suck. MAGA

Repealing the 17th Amendment would end the War Party shit show.
