Ukraine is dead meat, hanging.

And they're not even smart enough to know it.

I thought that the House determines how funding bill are introduced, per the Origination Clause? Or has Congress given up on that?

I am wondering what Aide Israel needs, and why they were not prepared to defend themselves in the face of a long-term, known threat, such that as soon as the shooting starts, they need our assistance?

Can they not defend themselves even in the short term?

I do not oppose helping, but there seems to be a lack of focus on a specific need for aid.

Maybe I am wrong, and this will not simply be a blank check.

They need to make a law limiting the size of bills that get voted on. Why would ukraine and Israel spending even BE on the same bill anyways.

Great news! Let the RATs, especially the Bidens, find a different way to launder our tax money.

US Southern border first. Not one more cent to Ukraine or Israel until our border is secured.

I’m all for supporting Israel, but we just gave them billions of dollars at the beginning of October. I prefer we work on our own borders right now.

Those good jobs Americans in Texas have exporting energy to Europe are certainly “dead meat” once the priority becomes Making Russia Great Again. The WEF EU will happy to partner with Putin again and rebuild his army and economy. Marxist Democrats will continue partnering with Putin to nuke up Iran and attack Israel.

American populism is certainly ideologically and morally bankrupt “dead meat, hanging” but its vapid adherents are “not even smart enough to know it.” Apparently, they’re not tired of losing just yet.

A group of Republican senators introduced a bill Thursday that would decouple funding for Israel from billions of additional dollars the White House requested for Ukraine

Good for them (and us).

How about no foreign aid at all (to any country, including Israel) until we have paid down a few trillion dollars of our debt and start running budget surpluses or at least balanced budgets? Enough foreign welfare and meddling and foreign conflicts. Let’s close our borders, deport those who came in illegally, pay down the debt, and rebuild our own military.

I thought all spending bills had to originate in the House.

Ukraine should get zero. It has milked us long enough. It is a leech.

Sen. Mike Lee, other GOP senators propose a standalone bill for Israel aid, without Ukraine funding because its is preferable, once Russia takes Ukraine and moves on NATO countries, American troops die fighting Russians. A much better outcome than letting the Ukrainians have all the fun.
