In an unusual session held on Super Bowl Sunday, the US Senate voted to move forward a substantial $95 billion aid package that will support Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with no southern border security provisions. The package includes $60 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel. The vote garnered support from RINOs, with a final tally of 67-27.
According to The Hill, Schumer offered Republicans the chance to vote on amendments in exchange for expediting the legislative process.
“By a vote of 67-27, The Senate invoked cloture on Murray substitute amendment 1388 to H.R.815, legislative vehicle for supplemental appropriations,” the Senate Press Gallery wrote on X.
Sixty-seven senators voted in favor of war funding, while 27 senators opposed the expenditure, all of whom were Republicans.
On Super Bowl Sunday, the following 18 Republican senators supported the Ukraine war funding:
Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)
Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
John Cornyn (R-TX)
Joni Ernst (R-IA)
Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
John Kennedy (R-LA)
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Jerry Moran (R-KS)
Markwayne Mullin (R-OK)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Mitt Romney (R-UT)
Mike Rounds (R-SD)
Dan Sullivan (R-AK)
John Thune (R-SD)
Thom Tillis (R-NC)
Roger Wicker (R-MS)
Todd Young (R-IN)
The legislation passed cloture in a rare Super Bowl Sunday vote.
On Monday morning Trump-supporting Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) posted a stunning report on X. According to Senator Vance, the Senate funding package includes language that makes it impossible for President Trump to terminate the Ukraine War funding into his second term.
The language was inserted into the aid package with President Trump in mind. These dirty RINOs and Democrats voted on a bill that will send endless billions to Ukraine no matter how dire the situation is on the ground.According to Senator Vance, “This new Ukraine bill tries to make it ILLEGAL for Trump to do what he is promising on the campaign trail. It is a plot against the President Trump, plain and simple.”
And 17 Republican RINOs supported this package!

"This new Ukraine bill tries to make it ILLEGAL for Trump to do what he is promising on the campaign trail. It is a plot against the President Trump, plain and simple."
The democrats will never, ever allow him to take office.
With the publics rage of how they have destroyed the country so far the odds are not in their favor even many democrat voters have seen what they have done to the judicial system.
Everything about them is 1984
We definitely need an investigation to find out why the GOOBS consider it so important to blow billions and billions of taxpayer dollars on the Ukraine. What is so important about that place?
I believe so.
Ukraine is best place on earth to launder money.
Grade “A” Bullshit. If that was legal imagine what future Presidents and Congre$$e$ could pass to handicap future Presidents and Congre$$e$.
Ignore that and just keep moving forward. It’s nothing.
It's a money laundering operation for the political elite, oligarchs and defense industry.
‘A very sternly worded investigation...”
A war torn country is the best laundromat in the world. No accountability anywhere. They simply are voting to preserve their investment
My exact thought.
Really, if you think about it, the ONLY explanation for this strange loyalty to Ukraine over the US, is that they are on the take and must now deliver the goods to Ukraine for monies, etc., they have already taken or otherwise enjoyed. Shameful.
Kennedy also has great soundbites and jokes in youtube videos, in his folksy way of talking. He disappoints when it comes time for action.
I think the bigger point is why do the rank and file GOP members continue voting for these corrupt pieces of shit.
Traitor Roberts is a Never Trumper and will vote accordingly and bring his handmaiden ACB along with him.
Didn’t one of our generals say that the Russians would occupy Kiev in 72 hours? That was about two years ago.
Washington needs to be flushed.
Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been masterful in his ability to get great candidates appointed to the Federal Judiciary. He has been an equally masterful accomplice of Chuck Schummer in assuring the supremacy of the Deep State. Mitch’s prime motive is the continuation of the status quo of the Deep State as is Chuck Schummer. They and their ilk are the “Men Behind the Curtain.”
Mitch and Chuck are like brothers that grew up fighting each other over small issues of difference but are equally devoted to each other due to their many things of common belief.
Trump can get around this by sending Ukraine $100 dollars of his own money.
