Senate passes Ukraine funding in predawn vote
The Hill ^

Posted on 02/13/2024 3:56:57 AM PST by janetjanet998

The Senate voted early Tuesday morning to pass a $95 billion emergency defense spending bill, including $60 billion for Ukraine, after an all-night filibuster by conservative opponents finally ran out of steam shortly after 5 a.m. The 70-29 vote capped nearly a week of floor debate and four months of wrangling over President Biden’s request to fund the war in Ukraine, which he submitted to Congress in October

As I have been saying for 2 years now, Mitch McConnell is more damaging to middle-class Americans than Vladimir Putin

Without a doubt!

And it's not even a close contest.

At least the high level Ukrainian bureaucrats all have well funded "retirement" bank accounts thanks to Mitch The Post Turtle,
Scmucky Schumer and the usual crowd of senate idiots, liars and crooks.

The streetlights in DC are mostly mounted on straight vertical poles without any horizontal appurtenances from which one could hang things. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

Mmmmmmmm......the Senate’s passage of the funding bill made George Soros very happy.


J Street Lobby Backstory——On Friday, October 20th, 2023, the Biden Administration sent a Supplemental Funding Request to the Congress that contains key priorities for the American Jewish community:

Please urge your federal elected officials to take action by sending an email below or picking up the phone to call using the script at the end of this form. Your advocacy will help ensure Congress passes the Supplemental Budget Request, which includes the following:

<><>$14.3 Billion in Emergency assistance to Israel: This emergency assistance will bolster Israel’s ability to defend herself and replenish vital defense systems, including the Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense programs.

<><>Increased Funding for FEMA’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP): Jewish communities are in a state of elevated readiness and have already been forced to increase their security measure. FEMA’s Nonprofit “Security Grant Program” helps ensure the safety and security of Jewish and other faith-based community institutions. The increased funding included in Biden’s Supplemental Budget Request will help bolster our Jewish community’s capacity to protect itself at this challenging time.

<><>$61.4 Billion in Emergency Assistance to Ukraine: The J Street Lobby stands in solidarity with Ukraine and supports efforts to strengthen its democracy in the face of aggression. This funding will aid Ukraine’s efforts to safeguard its democracy and protect its citizens. Jewish Federations are actively engaged in supporting the Ukrainian people—including by resettling over 2,600 displaced Ukrainians across the United States—and we seek continued U.S. support for these critical efforts.


Reference-——J street Lobby Policy on the US-Israel Special Relationship (with help of $750 million from George Soros).

J Street believes that maintaining a strong, vibrant US-Israel relationship is a core American interest. We want to see a secure, thriving Israel that is a healthy democracy, a national home for the Jewish people and a state for all its citizens that embodies the shared values that have long formed the heart of the special relationship between our two countries. We believe that American diplomatic leadership has an important role to play in helping to make this vision a reality, as does cooperation in (financing) Israel’s security, economic, technological, academic and civil society spheres.


WIKI-—Confidential IRS documents obtained by The Washington Times in 2010 showed that George Soros had been a donor to J Street since 2008. The approximately $750,000 from Soros and his family, together with donations from Hong Kong-based businesswoman Ms. Consolacion Esdicul, amounted to about 15% of J Street’s funding in its early years.

In previous statements and on its web site J Street had seemed to deny receiving support from foreign interests and from Soros.

Jeremy Ben-Ami apologized for earlier “misleading” statements regarding funding from Soros. Ben-Ami also clarified that donors to 501(c)(4) organizations are promised confidentiality by law and challenged critics to make public the contributions from opposing organizations.

Deep States don’t need to fire a shot these days to take control of a country.

They just bribe/blackmail its pols.

The armies they then control will be used on the citizenry when the citizenry finally figures this all out.

Both political parties have quite a grip on Americans, don’t they? How anybody can line up behind McConnell/Romney or Schumer/Biden, is beyond me.

Now you know why George Santos was kicked out of Congress. The FBI, the CIA, the DOJ and the Chinese who have infiltrated the DC swamp, organized orgy parties, sex parties, prostitutes, etc. and have all those bastards sexual predators, senators and congressmen who partook on video and pictures! Can you say blackmailed? How the hell do you think they got the $300 million expense to build a new DOJ building? Remember there was hell with the Republicans in the house who swore up-and-down they would not pass that bill? Then the DOJ or CIA whispered into the ears of the congressmen and said, remember we have film ! That’s how the game is played in DC by these bastards!

The DC occupation government sucks and nobody should be loyal to it. DC is the antithesis of “American”.

Madison Cawthorn also. The tag team of McConnell and Schumer work together to keep MAGA out of the Senate and House. Again, they are far more dangerous to Americans than Putin.

Good, destroying our enemies military without one US injury or death is a worthwhile goal and an important warning to China. US spent 5% of its military budget(Donating mostly older weapons) to destroy half of Russia’s military capability with the help of Ukraine.

2024 isn’t 1984.
Biden isn’t Reagan.
We weren’t 30+ trillion in debt in Reagan’s time.
In the 80’s Europe wasn’t in the death grip of a neomarxist humanist New World Order.

Your infantile “channeling” of President Reagan to suit your own corrupt warmongering instincts is wrong on SO many levels, zeeper.

Anyway, I’m pretty sure you aren’t even an American.
