In case you’re keeping track.
No surprises, really.
It’s the usual good eggs + six GOP senators.

Christian Science Monitor

quote:

“Until we have a plan to secure the southern border, you can count me out for any more funding for Ukraine,” said Senator Marshall, one of six GOP senators and 23 House Republicans to sign a letter to the Biden administration today opposing its request for an additional $24 billion.

I’ve said it before, David … the current House GOP contingency from Arizona is about as solid a group of politicians as is possible in our system.

Who'd have thought Tommy Tuberville would be the best Congressman from Alabama?

How is it Republicans control the House (purse), yet these funds keep going out? Nothing has changed.

Glad to see Clay Higgins on there.

Probably two reasons:
(1) Supporting Ukraine has become the cool thing to do; and
(2) US NATO membership (which I’m all for ending):
quote:

A strong bipartisan contingent of senators, along with President Joe Biden, agree with the Ukrainian leader. If the U.S. doesn’t help Ukraine against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion, they argue, his next target will likely be a member of NATO – which America is treaty-bound to protect. And that could draw U.S. forces into a direct conflict with Russia.

Why was NATO formed?

To stop the soviet union.

Where is the soviet union?

Can't believe not more signed on. Maybe not everyone was asked?

Good question. He's a reliable anti-Ukraine BS vote. I wonder why he's not a signatory here.

Should be fricking 435 of 435.

The other 412 should be frog marched into cells in Leavenworth

Just wondering why “the most conservative” guy around this place isn’t on there. It’s not an excuse for Gaetz or anyone else, just a talking point. Like I’ve said many times Massey is just as useless as them all.
