> We haven’t even started rebuilding Ukraine. That’s gonna cost us trillions. <
You’re exactly right.
“We need a new Marshall Plan!” every Democrat leader will shout.
“We need a new Marshall Plan!” every Republican leader* will shout.
* except for Rand Paul, of course
As long as the Big Guy gets his 10%, it's all good.
at least he gets it
Correct. And how much goes to another Parisian Shopping Spree for Zelensky’s wife?
He’s right - we have NO business being involved in Ukraine.
The only thing the politicians want to do there is protect their money laundering scheme and keep the bio-labs hidden.
Anyone want to tell Kyle that Congress spends the money not the President?
Yes, quite a bit of it gets laundered back to the U.S. to fatten crooks’ bank accounts and support Democrat and RINO election campaigns. I consider those the hands of our enemies.
Kyle knows that there is no limit to our helping this thug. Plus, there is no accountability of this printed money, just like the rest of the $1.7T printing has none. Gov’t spending is a slush fund for the left.
Kyle is a wise young man.
Your beloved President has been pushing this all along. He’s very vocal with his support for squandering our tax dollars by giving billions to the mincing little grifter.

Politicians don't give a crap what anyone thinks, they no longer even fear voting.
the only thing politicians still fear is the 2nd amendment
This kid is a tool.
It’s fine that he has an opinion. But at his age, there is little wisdom or experience to put much weight behind it. He is the Greta of the cultists.
That’s actually not true. And very few “dollars” are being transferred to Ukraine.
Justice Joseph Story had clarified that the states have never given the feds the specific power to tax and spend in the name of foreign aid.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
With unconstitutional foreign aid in mind, patriots need to get their Constitution-impaired state lawmakers up to speed on the following.constitutional reality.
Much of the so-called “federal” funding that state lawmakers regularly beg for, and then brag about to get reelected, is actually state revenues that clueless state lawmakers have let the feds get away with stealing by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress's cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Once Democratic-controlled states understand that they're getting ripped off by federal Democrats, ALL the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.
The states need to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular vote for federal senators) Amendments, relatively little or ideally no discussion needed for a constitutional amendment that does only that imo.
Kyle has more sense than all the Zeepers lumped together
Agree Biden is blowing 45 billion dollars for Ukraine to defend it’s border while ours is wide open an 6 million invasions already happened.
NEVER TRUST A DEMOCRAT
...is no money spent.
Best money spent on defense in many decades.
That probably sounded pretty smart when it was rattling around in your head but sure does sound stupid when you consider that this borrowed money isn't for OUR DEFENSE.
Prepare to be surprised. Free Republic is out of step with the majority American opinion on this issue that views Zelenski, Ukraine, and defense spending in support of Ukraine all with positive approval ratings.
I agree. It’s Ron Paul/Chomsky fringe politics and general election suicide. Team Trump seems to think it is good primary season base politics but it is going to make the general very difficult. Hillary won’t be on the ballot this time, too.
