My proposal is zero to either. If they want to buy arms we should sell them but the days of money giveaways is over.

We owe trillions.

How much for the desperately needed bridge in Baton Rouge? Or the one to replace the Francis Scott Key bridge in Maryland?

That’s probably only $2.5 billion to get those projects to a point where the local governments can borrow against future toll revenue and fund the rest of them. Both are desperately needed.

Too bad they aren’t in Ukraine or Israel.

If we don't fight Hamas over there, we'll have to fight them over here. Also, Iran is the "largest state sponsor of terrorism". Never mind that they're Shia and that our terrorist adversaries have always been Sunni Wahhabists.

Can someone tell me why conservatives are so strongly opposed to Ukraine aid? I'm just baffled by this. Do you guys really have no pity at all for Ukraine? Note that I'm not some bleeding heart liberal, I am a conservative too but like, come on Ukraine is fighting for it's survival!

We shouldn't be giving either of these another penny. We've been giving money to Israel for 75 years now

Ukraine can't win any money given to them is just wasted/funneled back to politicians.

We are tired of putting other nations problems first. We asked for one thing an effective border bill to stop the worst immigration crisis in U.S. history that’s bankrupting cities.


Dems who desperately want Ukraine aid said no let them die and frick the borders.


This is conservatives fault

If you're gonna spend 61 billion for the US to manufacture and send arms to Ukraine, give them the good stuff. You know the long range bust Russia in the mouth munitions. Ukraine will soon be importing people from south of the border to fight their battle as they are running low on personnel.
