  1. Treacherous Rapepublicans may they burn in hell along with their bibles.

  2. Yep, of course they blocked it. All that matters is “playing politics”. I am so ashamed of my country and I absolutely despise the MAGA cohort that wants to sabotage any more US aid to Ukraine. My brother-in-law is one of them, and I have been calling him Neville for a couple weeks now.

    He finally read up on Neville Chamberlain but still lacked the comprehension in comparing it to today…I want to vomit

  3. They’re going to try and pass an Israel,Ukraine and Taiwan defence only package instead.

  4. Woah crazy it was never about the border all along! God I ducking hate MAGA and republicans

  5. “Conservatives” are such a pathetic joke.

    They all need MAGA butt plugs and ball gags.

  6. Putin tells Trump to kill the bill, Trump tells Johnson to kill the bill and Johnson tells McConnell to kill the bill.

    Good to know the command structure

  7. For each day, Idiocracy becomes one step closer of being the reality in the US.

  8. Are we all entirely sure that when Trump left the Democrats to join the Republicans, that he truly left the Democrats, because his effect on the Republican party has not been one of growth. That party is dying.

  9. Amazing how the border is a national security issue until it isn’t. This might be the end of bipartisan bills for a long time on contentious issues.

  10. >The bill provides three main packages of assistance to Ukraine totaling $48.83 billion: $19.85 billion for replenishing weapons and equipment from the US Department of Defense (DoD) inventory; $13.8 billion for the purchase of weapons and munitions for Ukraine from US manufacturers; and $14.8 billion for continued US support to Ukraine through military training, intelligence sharing, and other support activities.The appropriations bill provides that funds can go to foreign countries that have provided support to Ukraine at the request of the US, but the vast majority of the aid — if approved — would go to US companies and US or allied government entities supporting Ukraine. Roughly 16 percent of the Ukraine-related appropriations in the bill would go directly to Ukraine, including $7.85 billion of direct budget support for the Ukrainian government and $1.58 billion for efforts to build a self-reliant Ukrainian economy amid the ongoing Russian invasion. The appropriations bill also provides $1.6 billion in foreign military financing, which must be used to purchase goods and services from the US, to address Ukraine’s and other US partners’ air defense, artillery, maritime security, and maintenance requirements. The appropriations bill provides smaller packages of $300 million to help Ukraine promote the rule of law and protect its borders and $100 million to support demining, counterterrorism, and nonproliferation programs.The bill provides $8 million for the DoD Inspector General to exercise oversight over US security assistance to Ukraine.

  11. Makes me curious as to how far Trump and his goons have to go to be officially branded traitors by the American government, because short of straight up (directly) killing someone, they’ve been doing everything on the list.

  12. Bastards help Ukraine they are fighting for the sake of humanity, stop your politicking and sort out weapons for them before you live to regret it.

  13. So, now what? The Americans aren’t going to send aid until the elections. Is the EU the only realistic source for ammunition and other equipment?

  14. I’m getting *really really* tired of this bullshit. First it’s “protect the borders!” Then when they get presented with the opportunity to do something about it they shut it down. I’m not *surprised*, but I’m sure pissed off. Again.

    What pisses me off the most is the people who *still* vote for these assholes will scream “protect the border! Biden is failing to protect the border!” without knowing or caring that the Republicans are the ones fucking it up. Again.

  15. Very simple answer… a Unelected Convicted Sexual Predator decided he didn’t want the Ukrainians to have aid. So the repubicans lined up and waited for the unelected Convicted Sexual predator to lower his pants and bend over…so they could kiss his ass. So a couple thousand extra Ukrainians may have to die, while he plays games. Welcome to the USA.

  16. But they said they would agree to aid, but only if Biden agreed to stringent measures at the border… He capitulated, and these morons sre so extreme that they wanted it all their way, or nothing, and so they got nothing…

  17. How do you guys feel about the state of the southern border?

  18. This is the death knell to the Republican party as we know it.

  19. Well done republicans you have just made it so democrats will never budge on an issue ever again. Even gave them a platform saying your pro immigrations since you blocked your own bill. And proved to the people you don’t do policy but just whine as a child….

  20. One step closer to civil war as enemy foothold has getting strong in the US. And the Republicans has Russia protection ready. Remember what started the annex of Ukrainian land? That sure as hell can start in the US. Not Russian annexation but Russia would gladly send troops to support republican supporting army

  21. I don´t get it. Why doesn´t Biden just use an excecutive order to pass the Ukraine aid? It´s clear that the GOP doesn´t want to play ball. It´s not like the MAGA Mofos wouldn´t abuse the shit out of that functionality.
