LOL, of course. Some things NEVER change.

So another $1.6b to the Depends-Wearer-in-Chief.

Spending money to end the Russians and protect Ukraine: Wasteful

Spending $200B+ on a wall: Perfectly ok
Cutting corporate taxes, exploding the deficit: just peachy
Spending $144M of taxpayer money to play golf: no problems


Conservatives don't care about government spending.

Protecting our southern border would fall under the responsibility under the constitution to protect our borders.
Bringing corporate taxes more in line with other countries has been shown to be good for the economy but as a liberal I don't expect you to understand economic realities.
We can agree on the golf.

The last sentence is a blatant false statement.

Ah I see, so "less government spending" unless a Republican wants it. That makes things so much clearer.

No, limit spending to actual federal responsibilities as spelled out in the constitution.

Poster has demonstrated a tendency to make blatantly false statements.

You know all of this money is being well spent when the man playing president is spending his time posing for Vogue and twitter feuding with Elon Musk. During a war…

I am reminded of the George W. Bush War on Terror era how we used to have protestors on the street in the progressive little town I lived in bemoaning the money being spent. It was funny how they all protested for several years but left after January 2009.

None of these I Stand With Ukraine folks are saying boo about all the bread being spent over there either. We could be funding a lot of their pet projects here in the US with all of this cashola.

I also think that there is a bit of Donald Trump projection (via Putin) going on here. To them Putin equates to Trump, so they will spend every resource they can to get him.

Upside down logic. But “unreliable” energy partner Russia just keeps taking our money via Ukraine and laughing all the way to the Central Bank.

And we’re paying for it, while our actual allies are out running on empty.

Look, another $725 million today. It’s a daily announcement at this point.

But just wait until winter when things get tough and Ukranians are cold. If it came down to us being cold and hungry here, or the chance to “get Russia” in some way, I hope you know the the real power in this country will choose their foreign policy objectives ahead of the American people every single time. And we’re powerless to vote them out or stop them from spending our money to make themselves rich. And we all know it.

Seriously, f"*k zelensky. He gets billions and keeps demanding for tens of billions more. All while trying to drag us into WW3.

Ran across this Zelensky meme. Thought it was funny.

Quote:Amid concerns that a new Congress could take a more skeptical view of aid to Ukraine, lawmakers from both parties are looking to lock in billions of dollars in military assistance to Kyiv before newly elected members are sworn in in January, according to a lawmaker and congressional staffers.

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, who is poised to take over as speaker if the GOP wins a majority in the House in the November midterm elections, warned this week that his fellow party members are “not going to write a blank check to Ukraine.”

With that threat to Ukraine aid looming, the bipartisan idea under consideration would use a government funding bill during the lame-duck session after the midterms to secure a much higher level of military and other assistance than prior aid packages for Ukraine, according to the lawmaker and the aides.

Congress last month approved $12 billion in military and economic aid to Ukraine, but the package being contemplated would be dramatically larger, the sources said.

The amount would be enough “to make sure [Ukraine] can get through the year,” a Republican senator with knowledge of the matter told NBC News. “It’ll make the $12 billion look like pocket change.”

The new aid package, which most likely would be part of an omnibus spending bill, could be within the range of roughly $50 billion, congressional aides and a source close to the Ukraine government said. The Biden administration has not yet made a formal request for new funding.

Congress has allocated a total of $65 billion in funding to Ukraine since Russia attacked the country in February.

‘Put your own oxygen mask on’
Many Republican candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump have questioned the amount of U.S. aid delivered to Ukraine to help it fend off Russian forces, which invaded the country in February. They argue that the U.S. has more pressing domestic problems, that Ukraine’s fate is not tied to U.S. national interests and that European allies should be delivering a larger share of the weapons and other assistance to Kyiv.

House conservatives argue America needs to shore up its southern border and address the illegal immigration before worrying about Ukraine’s border with Russia.

“My constituents are saying, ‘Why are we more worried about Ukraine’s borders than we are about America’s borders?’ My constituents are not sitting there going, ‘Gosh, we have to save Ukraine’s borders,’” Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, a member of the conservative Trump-aligned Freedom Caucus, said in an interview.

Like Davidson, conservative Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., said her heart breaks for the Ukrainian people, but she has not voted for recent Ukraine aid packages and isn’t inclined to do so next year if Republicans take control of the House, as most polls predict.

“I liken it to the airline videos they do before you take off: You need to put your own oxygen mask on before helping others,” Cammack, a member of the Homeland Security Committee, told NBC News. “And I just don’t think as a legislator that I could, in good conscience, support billions and billions of funding going overseas when we have such dire needs here.”

Odd that Russia would be selling coal, oil, and gas to a Nazi regime bent on killing its Russian speaking citizens. Its almost as if the propaganda narrative is so nonsensical as its not even believed by the Russian government itself.
