Not an impressive first move, Mike...
OK, so one half to our Sister Ukraine, one half to Our Great Mother Israel.
For a second there, I was afraid this guy would be different.
Why would you think that?
Stupid me, I guess.
Emotion clouds logic. 😉
Facts are facts. How much has our new saviour in the house talked about money for our country, like say maybe to stop the millions of invaders at our border?
It's not emotion to see that the new guy starts out sucking Israel's cawk, while telling Ukraine he'll suck theirs too but they might need to rinse it off a bit first.
And Gaetz is right there cheering him on like it's some new great thing they are finally getting done.
Anything new here in the States? Potholes. Terrorists. A couple of States worth of illegals running loose.
Good rant.
Thanks!
Maybe he wants them separated so the Ukraine funding doesn’t go through but the Israel money does. Let’s get them all on record what they’re supporting. Past MO is put this crap in the defense bill so the left can say “oh look, the Republicans don’t support our military”. I will give the new Speaker plenty of time to see what he can do.
He’s asking for the spending bill to be bifurcated, so if it’s passed, funding will go to both Ukraine is Israel undoubtedly.
Ummmm bifurcate means split in two. According to Gaetz that means two different votes. bifurcated: 1 adj divided into or made up of two parts "socially bifurcated populations" Synonyms: divided separated into parts or pieces
Exactly - it means that the approved amount will be split in two, amongst Israel and Ukraine. That means one cannot be withheld and the other granted - considering the spending bill is already approved.
And you may have missed this in the linked article…Johnson said the House will propose a stand-alone $14 billion spending bill to assist Israel, matching the White House request. A group of GOP senators introduced a bill to do the same in the Senate on Thursday. Not really sure what you thought bifurcated meant.
That’s a separate bill and not referring to the already approved bill (entirely seperate) for 100 million that will be bifurcated between Israel and Ukraine.
Did you read the article you linked? He’s talking about the $100 BILLION supplemental that Biden wants with Israel money so he can get more for Ukraine. There has been no money voted on for Israel before Johnson became speaker. (Other than the normal aide sent to them) The $100 million is money Biden took from somewhere else to give to his pal Zelensky a week or two ago after Zelensky came begging. The first line of the article that YOU linked says split his $100 Billion supplemental because Republicans would not support a Ukraine package. Sorry to point out you have no idea what you’re talking about. Bifurcated means he wants TWO bills, the request already states how much Biden wants for each country and a couple of other things. You could probably clear up your confusion if you actually read the article you posted.
I don't care about the details of money laundering. It's still 100 billion no matter how it's laundered. Guess Johnson will be getting a sweet kickback.
Just another cucked RINO raises it's fugly head.
Where is America First, last, and only?
I'm beginning to think there aren't enough patriots in Congress to require more than one hand to count. The vast majority just need to be sent packing.
I'm holding out hope that this is a way to expose where these payments actually go.
Considering it hasn’t been exposed for the year we’ve been donating to Ukraine, I’m not sure if this has much promise
How about "just say no". We can survive even if Ukriane is swept up into Russia. We can survive if China takes over Taiwan. We can secure our borders so Russia and China won't invade us. All it takes is someone in Congress to LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE!
Agree with you. Just say no. No $ to anyone and NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND for a fake, BS started 'war'... America 1st. Wish Trump would chime in.
“One thing that House Republicans are resolved on is that we must stand with our most important ally in the Middle East, and that’s Israel. We will,” Johnson said. “We certainly hope that it doesn’t come to boots on the ground.”
That's comforting....
Apparently “standing• with someone means you give them lots of other peoples money.
Will they be talking about any cuts to our healthcare, Social Security, veterans, and people with disabilities benefits?
Will they stop selling our bridges to Spain and Dubai who do not care about the safety?
Will they work and modernize our infrastructure like Disney World built in the 70s! Monorails, sky rides over the bays and waterways so a car getting stuck on a causeway doesn't keep thousands away from work?!
I would like to see a list of 100 billion they will be spending on the people's way of life in this country!
If they say we are too broke then they shouldn't be doing this either.
DUNZO!
What about splitting it between Americans and Americans?
This money has already been approved, before he became Speaker.
No it hasn’t. This is a $100 billion supplement that Biden thinks he can get for Ukraine if he attaches it to aid for Israel
Where's the remote?
I'm tired of watching reruns....
I've been vindicated once again.

I don’t think you’ve been vindicated at all. He’s the Speaker of the House with an extremely small majority and not all of the majority is MAGA. He’s not about to go in like a bull in a china shop. Don’t forget the “one member can call for a vote to remove him” is still in effect. He’s going to have to give and take, negotiate and take as many wins as he can get. He has to prioritize the issues. I think he’s a solid Christian and MAGA. Give him more than 5 minutes to show what he can do. Geez
He literally condones laundering our money overseas. This is the same bullshit they played on the liberals with Barack Obama. If you don't see it then you need to increase your dosage of red pills.
