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

Yep... another example of the swamp, owned by K Street whores and party leaders..all because of the 17th Amendment.

It’s well past time to repeal the 17th Amendment

I did not know there were 79 Dems in the Senate and only 29 Repubs.
Small wonder the American People get screwed daily.

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

Why should they care? They’ve got the big money donors behind them. So they will win the next election. And the next, and the next.

I read somewhere that there was more turnover in the USSR’s Supreme Soviet than there is in the US Congress. Those are two very different organizations, to be sure. But it’s still an interesting comparison.

Every couple of days I’m reminded why I stopped voting in congressional elections.

They are for show. Placebos to mollify us.

Whoever is in charge, it isn’t We the People.

Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,—
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.

That explains why the slimy, fatherless, Sen John Cornyn (RINO-TX) didn’t even acknowledge he received my message.

I have a suspicion he won’t run for reelection in 4 years.

“I did not know there were 79 Dems in the Senate and only 29 Repubs” WRONG

Republican Party 49
Democratic Party 48
Independent 3
Total 100

Most Republicans Voted for this, the Uniparty prevails.

We are being deliberately bankrupted. We are being deliberately invaded. Most Republicans vote along with this stuff and pretend at election time that they share our values.

When will we wake up?
