Mitt Romney and 21 Deep State Republican Turncoats Pass $95 Billion Ukraine Aid Package -- With No Protections for Our Border
Wow, it's almost as if... this was their plan all along.
Greg Price
@greg_price11 BREAKING: The senate just pulled an all nighter and officially passed their $95B foreign aid bill for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan with nothing for the southern border The final vote was 70-29 with 22 Republicans voting yes. McConnell, Thune, Boozman, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn, Cramer, Crapo, Ernst, Grassley, Hoeven, Kennedy, Moran, Murkowski, Risch, Romney, Rounds, Sullivan, Tillis, Wicker and Young.
Kyle BeckerI would have accepted funding for Ukraine so long as America's national security was also funded. But the NOPe said no, we have to pass the agenda of the Democrat Party and the Deep State.
@kylenabecker Nothing to see here, folks. Just foreign nations and war grifters looting taxpayers while America gets invaded by millions of illegal aliens. We're not subverted or anything, though. Don't worry.
Romney: Now, I know that the shock jocks and online instigators have riled up many in the far reaches of my party. But if your position is being cheered by Vladimir Putin, it's time to reconsider your position. pic.twitter.com/5c0haSFwi9

House Speaker Mike Johnson late Monday sharply criticized a $95.3 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other countries, casting serious doubts about the future of the package just as Senate leaders were slowly muscling it ahead in hopes of sending a message that the U.S. remains committed to its allies. The Republican speaker said the package lacked border security provisions, calling it "silent on the most pressing issue facing our country." It was the latest -- and potentially most consequential -- sign of opposition to the Ukraine aid from conservatives who have for months demanded that border security policy be included in the package, only to last week reject a bipartisan proposal intended to curb the number of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border

They won't and this coterie of assholes that includes frauds like Ernst, and idiots like Cassidy and Tillis who also told us we totes need to pass the "infrastructure" Bill should be driven from the party. The rest of them can go sniff coke of Murkokski's ass crack.

1. Make a new "deal" that doesn't suck so much
2. Pass border control first as its own bill, then pass Ukraine second
They had two choices that would have let them pretend that they care about the security and cultural disaster that is the southern border. They took neither option, instead choosing to yell, "go fuck yourself" at the public and hurl yet more money we don't have at a foreign war.

They cannot bind a future Congress. They can try to create an excuse, but the future Congress has to play along.
I have little doubt that it *would* play along, but they cannot compel it to. They can put in the bill that as of 2025, taking a morning shit is reasonable cause for an impeachment. It doesn't mean they can actually enforce it.
But the attitude is the worst part of it, as well as the conclusion. "If you disagree with the technocrats, we consider cause to remove you from office" is a firm and clear statement about who is actually in charge.
Spoiler Alert: it ain't the President.

All bills should be standalone.

They can, however, pass a law that is in effect in the future which is how it workd. The bill doesn't say "this is how we impeach Trump" but it creates a legal condition that the President could violate and thus be up for impeachment. Unless, of course, the law is changed.

The Gang and their compatriots in the House want Israel reined in via aid conditions and that means no clean Senate bill.
To get the discharge over the hump, 5 is number of GOP members have to sign off on it if they use the previous discharge petition which has all Democrats right now. They will need more if the leftist members of Congress retract their signatures over the lack of restrictions on aid to Israel.

And it'll be over in 3 months?
And then another few tens of billions?
Now we're up over $150 billion?
But the $5 billion for our security at the southern border was unacceptably too much?
And now over 400,000 Ukraine men are dead?
But we need to borrow more money to loan to Ukraine so they can continue to die, forced to buy our used equipment, that they neither have the men nor training to use?
And that's THE Most Important Issue in America.

Government efficiency.
Seriously.
They can't just openly steal it. That would be poor form and terribly uncouth. So they have to steal bits of it as it moves around, and eventually something along the lines of what the money was appropriated for has to show up.
So if they're creating an appropriation for the purchase of hammers, those hammers have to be delivered. But since they all have to steal during the process, those hammers end up costing $5,000 each instead of $35 each. The hammers get delivered and everyone at all levels gets to soak his beak in the overage.

I didn't know that. I was only there once, in January '93, I think. Some cute Mormon tour girl showed me around Temple Square when all the Christmas decorations were still up.

That funding would only go to hiring more border patrol agents to assist in processing and relocating the immigrants, so it's actually good that it's left out. Plus, it removes the fig-leaf of advocacy the GOPe depends on to keep votes and donations incoming.

That's all they care about. We know they did it, we just don't yet have the evidence, and it's apparently at this point located in Kiev.

Business as usual.
Instead, what Johnson could do is say "hey, we told you this shit doesn't get funded until grandpa rapefinger closes the border. Once crossings are down to 2019 levels, then I'll schedule this bill for a vote". Don't even put it back on the Senate to come up with border legislation, it's not necessary. Put it on Biden to enforce the border laws if he wants the spice to continue to flow to Ukraine.

So, 20 years from now someone will be saying the same thing after some vote but the Senators who voted against it today will be voting for it then and a new crop will be voting against to keep hope alive.

Oh , it will balance. The same as any other person that has maxxed out credit cards and can no longer even pay interest on their debts. Drastic reversion to inputs must equal outputs.
Right now they are trying default by inflation but that only works if every other country trading with the US doesn't play that game.

What's amazing to me is that this is the first bill in my memory that threatens impeachment to any future president that tries to eliminate it. You'd think that Dems would have done that to any president that tried to eliminate Obamacare. Or Medicare. Or Social Security. You know - things that they say Americans have an interest in. But no - the first bill that threatens an American president is one that threatens FUNDING A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
The Democrats and the GOPe (but I repeat myself) don't really care about America at all.

>>I heard that the Senate bill also includes a provision that if funding is cut in 2025 or 2026 against the advice of "career officials" it becomes a matter for which a president could be impeached. ie, the plan is to tie the hands of a second term Trump.
The bill establishes two separate, ostensible 13B dollar slush funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan for which money can be extracted and dispersed and laundered through the MIC/NGO money trough.
It also establishes slush funds for munitions and armament replenishment that in turn can be sent to conflict areas.
It also establishes aid and support slush funds.
Most run out in Dec of 24, the ones for Ukraine run out in Sept of 25, which mean the Uniparty/Deep State want us to still be engaged in a proxy war with Russia in the near and long term.
These expenditures are mandatory and give little discretion in their wording.
Which would make Trumps plans to end the war problematic as the bill mandates arms transfers to Ukraine and war assistance, well past Trumps desire to end the war on day one of his administration.
Or alternatively....
The Senate GOP, in the main, are enemies of this country and need to be broomed.

Yeah, its a bit earlier in the process. Everyone sees problems but is acting in the old ways because their are no other ways. Setbacks are surely going to be addressed once a few small issues are addressed.
In the Roman Empire we are about at the point where the leaders put Stilicho to death and killed the families of the German troops that made up most of the army. The troops so affected joined Alaric and his "revolt" to get better deals for his men became suddenly unopposed except for walled cities.

Our current regime does not have twenty years. Previously the over under was about ten years from now (the normal length of span for fiat money in history is about 75 years or so) but if the Biden junta wins in 24---I would accelerate the clock for regime meltdown. When government spending has to be cut down to government revenue because no one lends to the government, then systematic collapse of the system. Loss of reserve currency status will certainly occur before then adding to the problems of inflation (nothing made here anymore), unemployment, and impoverishment of the populace.

Fertility starts dropping at 30 and 35 is getting dicey. Not a coincidence women start feeling that baby fever at around 30 if they aren't married.

But how many others are, as well? It's naive to think Zelenskyy and the other oligarchs are only padding the nests of the Biden clan. Who else has Chinese diamonds, or clever art-sale runarounds, or seats on boards for which they are eminently unqualified? Or stand to make a fucking *mint* by extending this war?

Which would make Trumps plans to end the war problematic as the bill mandates arms transfers to Ukraine and war assistance, well past Trumps desire to end the war on day one of his administration.
Or alternatively....
The Senate GOP, in the main, are enemies of this country and need to be broomed.

Romney had a nephew or someone with an NGO or some Such in Ukraine. Other money likely spills into EU pockets. Almost certainly many in the UK. Don't forget the IMF loans and NGOs that launder money we send to many many pockets.

Seriously Roger, your are a liar and an embarrassment but you'll probably win re-election because enough gullible people will see your ads and fill in the oval by your name. I wonder how many of them would recast for you if they realized what you just did. I also wonder how many still don't know that you voted to confirm Biden's fraudulent electors in 2021. And yet here you are, running ads with Trump's pictures. You haven't fooled everyone though.
You are a corrupt, despicable human being Roger. But DC made you rich, so what do you care? Fucking scumbag!

Cornyn saw how Cruz got grassroots support, and how Richard Lugar got knocked out in Indiana. Since then, he’s filled the primaries like a clown car or made sure no one has ever gotten traction against him. I’ll vote for anyone else in the primary, and I’ll consider the Democrat if I have to.
Cornyn must go.
