Democrats cheered and waved Ukrainian flags, chanting “Ukraine, Ukraine!” in some pavlovian response to Congress passing a bill that will send (another) $61 billion to Ukraine with no questions asked
Rand Paul, among many others, was incensed:
Ukrainian flags fly in the chamber of the UNITED STATES House of Representatives as they vote to send more of your hard-earned money to a corrupt foreign regime. And just like that they shout “UKRAINE! UKRAINE!”while happily working to secure Ukraine’s borders, not ours. pic.twitter.com/ZXZo1kliNl

This is the U.S. House of Representatives under the direction of Speaker Mike Johnson. Democrats are celebrating his total capitulation with no victory for securing our border. #MTV pic.twitter.com/TtaIgnX9eg

Ukrainian president Zelenskyy was very pleased, personally thanking Speaker Johnson
I am grateful to the United States House of Representatives, both parties, and personally Speaker Mike Johnson for the decision that keeps history on the right track.
Democracy and freedom will always have global significance and will never fail as long as America helps to protect it.
The vital U.S. aid bill passed today by the House will keep the war from expanding, save thousands and thousands of lives, and help both of our nations to become stronger. Just peace and security can only be attained through strength.
We hope that bills will be supported in the Senate and sent to President Biden’s desk. Thank you, America!
‘War is Peace’, America!
Of course he’s pleased… why wouldn’t he be, as who knows where that money will end up?
As Seymour Hersh recently reported, CIA Director Burns had to warn Zelensky to stop stealing so much money.
The issue of corruption was directly raised with Zelensky in a meeting last January in Kiev with CIA Director William Burns.
His message to the Ukrainian president, I was told by an intelligence official with direct knowledge of the meeting, was out of a 1950s mob movie.
The senior generals and government officials in Kiev were angry at what they saw as Zelensky’s greed, so Burns told the Ukrainian president, because “he was taking a larger share of the skim money than was going to the generals.”
Burns also presented Zelensky with a list of thirty-five generals and senior officials whose corruption was known to the CIA and others in the American government.
Zelensky responded to the American pressure ten days later by publicly dismissing ten of the most ostentatious officials on the list and doing little else.
“The ten he got rid of were brazenly bragging about the money they had—driving around Kiev in their new Mercedes,” the intelligence official told me.
Zelensky’s half-hearted response and the White House’s lack of concern was seen, the intelligence official added, as another sign of a lack of leadership that is leading to a “total breakdown” of trust between the White House and some elements of the intelligence community.
Hersh went on to note that one estimate by analysts from the Central Intelligence Agency put the embezzled funds at $400 million last year, at least; another expert compared the level of corruption in Kiev as approaching that of the Afghan war, “although there will be no professional audit reports emerging from the Ukraine.”
But, remember, the first rule of sending money to corrupt Ukraine is… you don’t talk about how corrupt Ukraine is (or you get impeached).

Yeah color me shocked.
This money laundering scheme has been going on since the beginning of war.
They’re just not hiding it anymore.
That Sam Bankman-Fried kid laundered millions back to Congress/Senate ans that story disappeared like a fart in the wind.
Gimme a break.
Might as well be monopoly money
It is monopoly money. What do you mean?
“THE BANK: Besides the Bank’s money, the Bank holds the Title Deed cards and houses and hotels prior to purchase and use by the players. The Bank pays salaries and bonuses. It sells and auctions properties and hands out their proper Title Deed cards; it sells houses and hotels to the players and loans money when required on mortgages. The Bank collects all taxes, fines, loans and interest, and the price of all properties which it sells and auctions. The Bank never “goes broke.” If the Bank runs out of money, the Banker may issue as much more as needed by writing on any ordinary paper. “
Darren, Thank you. Lest we forget. We learned this in our youth and this is the way it is and has always been.
It’s a money laundering operation for DC congressmen.
No doubt whatsoever the “bill” would pass. Zelensky is just the little croupier taking his tip from the whales.
DON’T YOU “REMEMBER”…WHEN MONEY ADOPTED “FRACTIONAL RESERVE” PRACTICES, IT ALWAYS WAS “MONOPOLY MONEY”…REMEMBER???
Monopoly: brought to you by Hasbara. I mean Hasbro.
HELL IT STARTED BEFORE 2014 WHEN OBAMA AND HILLARY OVER THREW THE LEGALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT IN KIEV.
Ken, you’re yelling.
Zelenksy has a UK mansion to pay for he bought from King Chuck. I wonder if he will survive long enough to ever live in it?
HELL ALSO HAS A MANSION IN FLORIDA THAT HE BOUGHT FOR 25 MILL AWHILE BACK.
With your money!
yay.
Read 1984 lately?
More than once, but not lately.
This comes as a surprise.
To no one.
If I wasn’t surprised I am most certainly shocked.
They’re all insane.
Just a tiny question … so, who knew enough in advance to order 435 ukraniane flags for the US Traitors in our House of Representatives?
Good one.
That warning about stealing too much came from Brandon…it’s cutting into his 10%
WELL THE DEMS RUNNING DC GOTTA KEEP GETTING THEIR PAYOLA EVERY QUARTER DONCHA KNOW. HOW ELSE DO POLITICIANS GET FILTHY RICH IN DC….
…only because it was cutting into the Big Guy’s 10%
Just think if we had just let the Nazi’s finish what they were doing….. The world would be so much better off…..
Ever hear of Operation Paperclip?
