No sooner was the ink dry on the ballots than the Democrats started talking about the need for more stimulus. They clearly were going after additional spending even before Biden was sworn in.
A Majority of House Republicans Vote Against Aid for Ukraine
- Thread starter What Would Jesus Do?
- Start date
Really don’t know the point I was making?
That a US Rep voted against the interests of her home country and in favor of a dictator that has killed several hundred thousand Ukrainians …
Mad? Hardly. Just pointing out that if it were up to House Republicans, Ukraine would be getting NOTHING.
OK. Ignore her country off birth. LOL
We can go with she voted in favor of a dictator that has killed several hundred thousand Ukrainians and represents a danger to US interests.
Lmao. When NBC says you have a Nazi problem? You DEFINITELY have a Nazi problem.
During World War II, Bandera led the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, whose men killed thousands of Jews and Poles, including women and children, while fighting alongside Nazi Germany against the Red Army and communists.
Ukraine has a Nazi problem, but Vladimir Putin's 'denazification' claim for war is a lie.
Not acknowledging this threat means that little is being done to guard against it.www.nbcnews.com
"hundreds"
Sounds like a tiny fraction of what the GOP sent to Charlotte...
Until it WASN'T a "minority" of R's, anymore.
Just like we warned you, Cletus.
Says the guy who didn’t understand why the reps’ Ukrainian country of birth might be a relevant fact regarding her Ukrainian aid vote …
Sometimes I wonder what it is like to be that dumb. Do colors look different? Do sounds sound different? Does your brain just feel warm and fuzzy while you think critically? Do you feel embarrassment?
I'm thrilled that my Republican congressman voted for it.
Against Russia.
Should have been 100% on both sides.
But your party favors fascism and Putin.
Man, you really are an idiot.
Ronald Reagan would not remotely recognize what his former Party has become...
This asshole doesn't speak for real Americans. Ever! He needs to go live in Russia for a while to enjoy life a bir.
Actually, so the 100 republicans that voted for it aren’t republicans? SMH.
Putin being mired in Ukraine in his waning years is good for America.
If we have to pay someone else to fight Russia and Iran, and hold them back, then it’s a good investment. One that saves American lives, and even more money than this aid will cost us.

They are so short sighted it is ridiculous. We pass this and it funds American companies making new weapons and the old weapons get shipped off to Ukraine. Ukraine gets assistance Americans get new jobs and the companies get money. Where is the bad? These morons are clueless
Because it was needed? The economy was ****ed because of a once in a generation event. I don't blame trump for spending on covid that was fine it was needed. I blame him for giving rich ****s who didn't need it a huge tax break. That was adding to the debt that did nothing except make douchebag billionaires look richer on paper. What a waste. Didn't hear a peep about it from people like you though did we?
Do you know what the poor downtrodden liberals are complaining the loudest about when it comes to Donald Trump's tax policy?
The provision in his tax law that they want to reverse has to do with the deductibility of state and local taxes. (SALT)
This one section of the law had the effect of raising Federal Taxes on individuals and corporations by limiting their ability to deduct state taxes. Now the Libs in New York, California, Illinois, and New Jersey are complaining. They want their tax deductions back; Folks like yourself call these loopholes, I believe.
Let me make this clear; While Trump's tax rate cuts were the most wonderful thing to come out of Washington ever, the law actually raised the comparative tax rates on NY millionaires and those in other states with state taxes.
Watch the news carefully; The Dems are going to slip this reversal into some unrelated bill in the next little bit ... Be sure to complain when this goes through as it will lower taxes for (mostly) millionaires. Republicans will be against it and Democrats will be 100% for it.

They have Nazi's that live in Ukraine. So do we. Should Putin come denazify us?
A majority of House Republicans voted against. The bill fails if Republicans make the call.
That isn't even slightly saying that the minority of Rs aren't Rs.
You're struggling to disagree with a patently true observation. Why?
Except for a brief, half-hearted interval during WWII, we've been doing our best to destroy Russia for roughly 100 years.
I used to think it was capitalism vs communism. Then the Berlin Wall fell and the USSR collapsed. For about a decade we shared in the plunder while our guy Yeltsin held fire sales, and when that frenzy slowed we went back to the long plan.
We don't actually give a damn about Ukraine. We tried to shift it to the Western sphere of influence but when that didn't quite work out, we decided that turning it into a failed state and a proving ground for new weapons and tactics was nearly as good.
Does slurping up Russian propaganda give you indigestion?
They made the call. Speaker Johnson brought it to the floor for a vote. If those 100 or so republicans hadn’t voted for it, it doesn’t pass.
Why haven’t you addressed the 58 Democrats that voted no on funding for Israel? Why so many antisemitism in that party?
The one that doesn’t believe it is OK for Russia to invade a sovereign nation. Ronald Reagan would have been leading the fight for getting aid for Ukraine.
I find it disturbing that you can't tell the difference between facts and propaganda.
Some of us have been paying attention for decades. Clearly you aren't in that demographic.
Happy to have that conversation.
But this conversation was about Ukraine. And you said "so the 100 republicans that voted for it aren’t republicans? SMH."
Just admit that you misrepresented what I actually said, and I'll be happy to move on. How hard is that?
Feel free to point out what errors you think I've made. That's what a reasonable person would have done in the first place.
Care to give it a try?
I've asked before but why does Israel need the money?
Wag the Dog. Just issued a death warrant for hundredscof thousands of Ukrainian men and in 20 years it will not matter.
And why did the original request for $14 billion balloon to $26 billion in 6 months?
Talk about inflation!
Somebody can fact check me on this but I'm pretty sure the original $14 billion was made after the 10/7 attack. Normally we just give them $4/year. So now we're up to $30 billion ($4 + $26)?
Even if a lot of that is just looping around into the coffers of our MIC, and being skimmed off by lobbyists and for CEO bonus packages, that's a whole lot of money.
That's over $3000 per Israeli, in case anyone is wondering. Or almost $1 million per person killed in the Gaza war.
I bet it would have been a whole lot cheaper to buy off Hamas.
No, I'm not saying we shouldn't aid Israel. But $30 BILLION? Apparently with NO STRINGS ATTACHED? Seriously?
Absent a very strong argument why Israel needs this money I would have voted against it too.
On top of which, bumping it from $14 billion to $26 billion sounds like we're rewarding them for disregarding practically every request we've made to reduce the carnage.
Not to mention continuing to build illegal settlements. Not to mention influencing US elections.
