Biden Backs Mike Johnson’s Ukraine Aid Plan, Urges Democrats to Get on Board and Says he Will Sign Into Law “Immediately” – Rep. Thomas Massie: “Johnson’s Plan is Biden’s Plan”

Joe Biden, Democrats, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and the RINOs are colluding on an aid package for Ukraine, which may upset plans by some Republican lawmakers to remove Johnson from the Speaker’s chair.

The $95 billion package provides an additional “$60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine and assist our regional partners as they counter Russia, $23.2 billion of which will be used for replenishment of U.S. weapons, stocks, and facilities.” It also provides aid to both Israel and, reportedly, Palestine. “I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who recently announced that we will cosponsor a motion to vacate the chair and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker, said on X, “Biden backs Johnson’s plan because Johnson’s plan is Biden’s plan.”

Those far left bass turds are throwing money all over every foreign azho that comes to the White House with their hand out and yet the far-left fags say that we don’t have money to pay Social Security or Medicare to Americans. Americans who had money taken from them their entire working lives and were told they’d get it back once they retire. Sons of bitches in Washington. This money shouldn’t be going to foreigners. It belongs to Americans.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO national interest in Ukraine

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You are spreading false information.

Here is the proof that there is a lot of interest for Ukraine by America :

U.S. Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership
United States-Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership
Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs
Washington, DC
December 19, 2008

Preamble
The United States of America and Ukraine:

Affirm the importance of our relationship as friends and strategic partners. We intend to deepen our partnership to the benefit of both nations and expand our cooperation across a broad spectrum of mutual priorities.
Emphasize that this cooperation between our two democracies is based on shared values and interests. These include expanding democracy and economic freedom, protecting security and territorial integrity, strengthening the rule of law, and supporting innovation and technological advances.
Stress our mutual desire to strengthen our relationship across the economic, political, diplomatic, cultural, and security fields.
Confirm the importance of the security assurances described in the Trilateral Statement by the Presidents of the U.S., Russian Federation and Ukraine of January 14, 1994, and the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of December 5, 1994.
Affirm the Priorities for U.S.-Ukraine Cooperation (Road Map) signed on March 31, 2008 and the commitments to a strategic partnership made by Presidents Bush and Yushchenko on April 4, 2005.
Section I: Principles of Cooperation
This Charter is based on core principles and beliefs shared by both sides:

Support for each other’s sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and inviolability of borders constitutes the foundation of our bilateral relations.
Our friendship comes from mutual understanding and appreciation for the shared belief that democracy is the chief guarantor of security, prosperity and freedom.
Cooperation between democracies on defense and security is essential to respond effectively to threats to peace and security.
A strong, independent and democratic Ukraine, capable of responsible self-defense, contributes to the security and prosperity not only of all the people of Ukraine, but of a Europe whole, free and at peace.
Section II: Defense and Security Cooperation
The United States and Ukraine share a vital interest in a strong, independent, and democratic Ukraine. Deepening Ukraine’s integration into Euro-Atlantic institutions is a mutual priority. We plan to undertake a program of enhanced security cooperation intended to increase Ukrainian capabilities and to strengthen Ukraine’s candidacy for NATO membership.

Guided by the April 3, 2008 Bucharest Summit Declaration of the NATO North Atlantic Council and the April 4, 2008 Joint Statement of the NATO-Ukraine Commission, which affirmed that Ukraine will become a member of NATO.
Recognizing the persistence of threats to global peace and stability, the United States and Ukraine intend to expand the scope of their ongoing programs of cooperation and assistance on defense and security issues to defeat these threats and to promote peace and stability. A defense and security cooperation partnership between the United States and Ukraine is of benefit to both nations and the region.
Working within the framework of the NATO-Ukraine Commission, our goal is to gain agreement on a structured plan to increase interoperability and coordination of capabilities between NATO and Ukraine, including via enhanced training and equipment for Ukrainian armed forces.
Acknowledging the growing threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the United States and Ukraine pledge to combat such proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and dangerous technologies through adherence to international nonproliferation standards and effective enforcement and strengthening of export controls.
Section III: Economic, Trade and Energy Cooperation
The United States and Ukraine intend to expand cooperation to enhance job creation and economic growth, support economic reform and liberalization, develop a business climate supportive of trade and investment and improve market access for goods and services. Recognizing that trade is essential for global economic growth, development, freedom and prosperity, the United States and Ukraine support the following initiatives:

Welcoming Ukraine’s accession to the World Trade Organization on May 16, 2008, the parties held the first U.S.-Ukraine Trade and Investment Council meeting on October 2, 2008 in Kyiv. As discussed at the meeting, the United States continues to support Ukraine’s efforts to implement its WTO commitments. Other areas in which we plan to accelerate our efforts include expanding market access, resolving outstanding disputes and promoting intellectual property rights. Acknowledging the importance of increased investment to economic growth and development, the United States supports Ukraine’s efforts to enhance investor protections.
Recognizing the importance of a well functioning energy sector, the parties intend to work closely together on rehabilitating and modernizing the capacity of Ukraine’s gas transit infrastructure and diversify and secure Ukraine’s sources of nuclear fuel making Ukraine less dependent on foreign sources of nuclear fuel and nuclear fuel storage.
Following the Roadmap of Priorities for U.S.-Ukraine Cooperation, the United States and Ukraine intend to launch the work of the Bilateral Energy Security Working Group. Consistent with the U.S.-EU Summit Declaration of June 10, 2008, the United States and Ukraine intend to enhance a trilateral dialogue with the United States-Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership Page 1 of 2 http://www.state.gov/p/eur/rls/or/113366.htm 1/8/2009 Published by the U.S. Department of State Website at http://www.state.gov maintained by the Bureau of Public Affairs. European Union on enhanced energy security.
Actively developing cooperation with Ukraine’s regions, including Crimea, the United States supports Ukraine’s plan to promote security, democracy and prosperity through expanded economic development, energy conservation, food security, and good governance initiatives. The United States and Ukraine also intend to cooperate in the area of public-private partnerships in regions of Ukraine aimed at supporting small and medium enterprises.
Section IV: Strengthening Democracy
Strengthening the rule of law, promoting reform of the legal system and of law enforcement structures and combating corruption are all of key importance to the well being of Ukraine. We intend to work together to support reform, democracy, tolerance and respect for all communities.

The United States and Ukraine will enhance their cooperation on efforts to strengthen the judiciary, increasing professionalism, transparency and independence as well as improving legal education and improved access to justice for all Ukrainians.
Through enhanced law enforcement and judicial branch relationships, the United States and Ukraine plan to address common transnational criminal threats such as terrorism, organized crime, trafficking in persons and narcotics, money laundering, and cyber crime.
Recognizing the importance of combating corruption, the United States and Ukraine intend to increase cooperation that will expand media and public monitoring of anti-corruption efforts; enforce ethical standards by establishing internal investigation units; and streamline the government regulatory process.
The United States and Ukraine plan to work together to promote reform in Ukraine’s legislative processes through increased transparency, heightened accountability through citizen and media access, and expanded public information about the work of Ukraine’s parliament.
Recognizing the importance of harmonizing Ukraine’s criminal justice system with European and other international standards, we plan to work together more intensely on issues of key importance, including the adoption of a Criminal Procedure Code compliant with Council of Europe standards.
The United States plans to provide Ukraine with further technical assistance to support Ukraine’s efforts through government and judicial authorities to combat human trafficking, including strengthening witness protection.
The United States supports increased assistance to strengthen democracy building and good governance in order to build upon Ukraine’s political progress and commitment to democratic development.
Section V: Increasing People-to-People and Cultural Exchanges
The United States and Ukraine share a desire to increase our people-to-people contacts and enhance our cultural, educational and professional exchange programs that promote democracy and democratic values and increase mutual understanding.

Recognizing the vital importance of increased contact between the people of the United States and Ukraine, both sides intend to promote further cultural and social exchanges and activities through initiatives such as the Fulbright program, Future Leaders Exchange Program (FLEX), Undergraduate Exchange (UGRAD), Legislative Education and Practice (LEAP), the International Visitor Leadership Program, the English Language Teaching and Learning Program and the Open World Program.
Stressing the necessity of innovation and dynamism to the future of our two countries, the United States and Ukraine intend to promote increased cooperation in higher education and scientific research. The United States will facilitate these exchanges consistent with U.S. laws and procedures so that qualified individuals in cultural, educational and scientific activities are given the opportunity to participate.
Our two countries will continue to cooperate closely to promote remembrance and increased public awareness of the 1932-33 Great Famine (Holodomor) in Ukraine.
Ukraine welcomes the United States’ intention to establish an American diplomatic presence (American Presence Post) in Simferopol.
Signed at Washington, D.C. on December 19, 2008.

For the United States of America: Condoleezza Rice Secretary of State

For Ukraine: Volodymyr Ogryzko

You again. Has this been submitted to the Senate for ratification? We have a saying in America: “Not worth a bucket of warm piss”. This is a classic.

It’s not the kind of document you would see signed between Iran and America... Right?

Stop it Frenchy. I’ll forgive again you because you’re a foreigner and doesn’t understand how our government works. Maybe your Macron can do things like this, but here in the USA treaties have to be ratified by the Senate to have any force of law. Otherwise, it’s just another empty feel good promise.

Looks like there is here a mental disorder !

“Honest” - “conservative” and “aid for ukraine” , are notions which are not consistent .
That “aid for ukraine” hide many 2d and vicious thoughts , untold purposes and interests .
“aid for ukraine” is actually AID FOR WAR at all costs .

Bye Zelensky

"I am always highly suspicious of anyone that wears Christianity on their sleeve and points to it often."

Based on my direct experiences with such types, far more often than not, those suspicions are warranted.

Time and time again I've seen this. It's as if some scumbags think that cloaking themselves in religion makes their penchant for dirty deeds invisible to us "rubes." When making Johnson speaker was becoming a thing, I looked him up and did some research on him. Within a short time into it I thought, "B.O.H.I.C.A." Looks like I was right. Ugh.

Totally frustrating. If there at least had been honesty all along, I would be able to say that they’d been level with me even though we disagreed.
Instead I get evidence that the western military industrial complex works with the Russian military industrial complex for the benefit of keeping the war going.
Iran’s attack on Israel? Like Michael says to Carlo something like “Do you think that would fool a Corleone?”
Wasn’t that convenient to get a rush on ukraine money by having russia’s ally, iran, launch drones.
Such a nifty plan.

Johnson has clearly shown his priority is not the security of our country— with all the drugs, crime and scum of the earth crossing our border daily.

His top priorities are Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel.

Again, no border security—exactly the Biden plan for over 3 years now. Also, Biden said he would not sign separate bills, and Johnson folded like a cheap suit.

Johnson’s total capitulation to Biden is pathetic.

Biden Backs Mike Johnson’s Ukraine Aid Plan, Urges Democrats to Get on Board
>>At this point Mike Johnson looks far worse than Kevin McCarthy did, and McCarthy sucked.

I wonder what would have happened if Johnson had refused to allow a vote on funding Israel. Isn't Johnson damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't? Wasn't Biden was ready to take advantage either way?

I’m hoping for some way of forcing a vote on the border after this. But it’s only a hope.

Passing HR2 in the senate would be good, but Hakeem Jeffries would be much worse than anybody in the GOP. Why not Trump for House Speaker.

Sadly it’s Johnson’s plan therefore it’s a republican plan. Obviously it’s a very bad plan if Biden likes it.

Never supported Johnson. Always had my doubts. Now I see why.

If the Israel funding passes the House and Senate, I am wondering whether some of Biden’s Rashida-Tlaib-Omar-AOC staffers will tell him to veto it, for the votes in Michigan and Minn. I don’t think the Palestinian fans will vote for Trump, but they might stay home if they think Biden is pro-Israel. NY has Muslims but it’s not a swing state.
