  1. Sadly a huge victory for malevolent selfish babies

  2. Even though the border situation should not be up to debate, it’s just completely braindead and treacherous to blackmail your domestic political opponents by threatening to stop supporting allies in desperate need of support and potentially handing Russia a big win

  3. This doesn’t necessarily doom it, but it’s a setback. Please keep calling your representatives

  4. Not funding Ukraine’s effort sends a clear message to Russia, Iran, China = we are weaker and way more dysfunctional than you ever dreamed.

    I still remember a time when people voted for republicans because they were strong on national security. Holy fuck times have changed.

  5. So fund the border and move on to more important things like giving Ukraine the weapons it needs to win, not just survive.

  6. No republican wants border control. Illegal migrant workers are the foundation of the redneck economy. If they wanted to fix it then what were their priorities during the Trump administration?

    The problem is: we’re not going to pay taxes, even if we have to “donate” half of our property to Putin like he demands from other oligarchs.

  7. If the dems were holding up funding for Ukraine because they wanted to force funding for climate change, student debt, or any other domestic policy arguments, I’d be tearing them down as well.

    Fuck those scumbag republicans holding Ukraine hostage for a non-issue. They’re playing politics when Ukrainian civilian lives are on the line. That is as low and as selfish as it gets.

    Fund the Ukrainians. They need our help. The Russians can still win if we fold on our commitment.

    We as Americans need to help them.

    I have $1000 I was gonna blow on something for Xmas. Now, I intend to find a way to send that money to our Ukrainian friends.

    I am a Virginian. An American. A patriot. And I stand firmly with Ukraine 🇺🇦.

  8. For people who swear up and down they’re not Russian agents, they spend a lot of time acting like Russian agents.

  9. Republicans blocking a lot of bills/amendments lately..

  10. Beef up border security and GET AID TO UKRAINE. Keep Ukraine free and neutralize a Republican campaign issue. Just get it done.

  11. Republicans never intended to solve or work on a solution to the border crisis. They wanted more funds for manpower, facilities. They were going to get it. So they asked for more and more. In short they intend to use the border as a election issue. If they fix it they lose their jobs. The border is a separate issue and should never be part of funding for Ukraine.

  12. Poland is blocking the border, Republicans are blocking aid at a time when russians are throwing more and more meat waves against us. Ukrainians have a very limited number of shells and components for FPV drones cannot cross the Polish border… now the losses of Ukrainians will increase significantly, real support from countries with “common” values, I hope you are proud of yourself

  13. It’s always a bad idea to give in to GOP blackmail and hostage taking. It just encourages more. This has been going on for decades now.

  14. This is why, fuck the Republicans. We signed an agreement to defend an Allie and you 🤡 are playing games.

  15. Jezuz fucking Christ! For 30 fucking years we’ve tried blocking our boarder! With republican and democratic presidents and it hasn’t been fixed yet! Our politicians are killing Ukrainians with lack of my,your/our support and supplies. Fuck you mother fucking Maga cunts!

  16. Working hard to help Ukraine protect their borders but unwilling to do the same for our, this is the Republican position and if you live in a border state it resonates.

  17. Republicans are becoming reprehensible. Completely disgusting.

  18. Jesus fucking Christ. Can we please, please, please eliminate every fucking gop member from politics? There’s no border issue that needs ANY real focus over what’s going on in Ukraine.

  19. There’s literally a genocide happening in Ukraine right now for all the world to see and people are going to compare that with our current border security needs? Our borders can take a lower priority at the moment. People need to realize this and get on the right-side of history. Any “politician” voting for prolonging this genocide should be voted out of office ASAP!

  20. This border “issue” can be solved with about a paragraph of law.

  21. The same republicans who shot down Bidens $7 billion border plan???

  22. This undermines the United States and presents her as weak, unreliable and divided.

    The republican party may as well just openly swear allegiance to Russia and China and burn the US flag. Traitors. Siding with their sowrn enemies.

  23. Republicans disgust me on this issue. A democracy in need and they play party politics.
