The vote was split into two parts, the first including $782 billion in military assistance including the defensive aid to Ukraine. It passed on a decisive 361 to 69 vote.

Like the news, even the money is fake.

Please note that this bill includes a plaque that will have the names of those very brave Capitol hill police officers who protected the Capitol on January 6th. (Yes, I’m being sarcastic)…

Something is not adding up about the Russian/Ukraine mess.

Our government is irresponsible, untrustworthy, and lies to us. Thanks to this administration, we are suffering everyday when we have to purchase anything. We can’t rely on our own party to push back against the economic disaster that is devastating families and small businesses. We have no representation to speak of. All we hear from our party is wait until November. We’ve heard this before and I am not confident this time will be any different. We’ve allowed the third world to enter the country unvetted, but we clothe, feed, house, and give these people free health care while Americans go without. Our people and this country are being picked clean by arrogant elites who use our own money as a weapon against us. There is zero intent to do anything that would actually benefit this country and its citizens unless it meets some rabid leftist political agenda they are pushing. We cannot continue down this path and survive. When is enough, enough?

OK, Senators Manchin and Sinema, we’re depending on you once again to stop this train wreck. Don’t let us down!

If the GOP doesn't pass this they will be considered evil by the media and not supportive of babies who where bombed yesterday. I can't believe the house passed ANOTHER $1.5 Trillion dollars! Can't they see that they are destroying our economy? But I guess that is what they want to do.

#9 A senator was on Newsmax last night and said there were over 2,000 earmarks. I would say the earmarks are pure pork. They were gone for awhile, now are back, but I don't think the pork was gone. I get sick to my stomach when I hear the news daily.

Biden the cheater must be really feeling the heat these days regarding Ukraine. All he has to do is misbehave in the slightness and Ukraine and its oil and gas mafia will expose Hunter and him for corruption and bribery involving the oil & gas company, Burisma, and other business interests in Ukraine.
Recall that it was VP biden who arranged the firing of a Ukrainian, Viktor Shokin, in 2015 who was probing illegal business dealings at Burisma and Hunter's name just happened to come up as a key player when he was added to Burisma's board of directors. Also recall that biden the cheater had held up billions of dollars of financial aid to Ukraine if Shokin didn't back off and suspend his investigation before he was eventually fired by the Ukrainian president at biden's urging.
Fast forward to today and here we have biden the cheater via congress showering Ukraine with yet more printed cash. IMO, this $14 billion includes more hush money.

So, if this is true about the covid relief money, are the democrats announcing that covid has finally outlived its usefulness for them? Not surprised, because they have a couple of better items to try and use against Americans.

Before blaming the Democrats, take note that "It passed on a decisive 361 to 69 vote." And with over 2,000 earmarks. So there are 69 Republicans in the House now?
The UNIPARTY strikes, suckers!

Due to a few vacant seats, last time I looked, there were only 218 Demo-rats in the House to 212 Republicans. Take 4 away from Nancy and hand them to the Republicans and Plastic Face loses!
However, 361 supporters for this boondoggle means we have a lot of feckless losers on our side! And don't count on The Turtle blocking it over in the Senate. It's a done deal.
Bend over and get ready for $8 a gallon gas, $22 a pound ground chuck, $10 for a dozen eggs, etc.

I have been writing my congressman to oppose this bill. He voted for it. Now that it has passed, I called his local and DC offices. I want a human to tell me specifically what the State of Arizona, City of Phoenix, County of Maricopa, and my district receive from this feckless bill. I was instructed to leave a voicemail because the staffers continue to work from home to keep everyone "safe". $14 Billion for Biden/Obama/Pelosi/Clinton's ukraine war and nothing for the southern border. "$2 million for restoring equity in access to solar power" tho. I am preparing myself to hear, if I receive a return call, he "had to sign it to see what was in it".

Only 69 Republicans voted against... that means that at least 144 of them are uniparty kleptocrats.
It is called the House of Representatives..... I wonder who they represent. It sure isn't us.
