What an absolute joke our Government has become complete bs
What actually makes them want to vote to give Ukraine monies? I would really like to interview them
@@susancohen8009 what makes you think they would answer you with truth, all they do is lie.
Thus has it always been.
Bought and paid for.
@@susancohen8009 No need, Comrade. Majority of the military appropriation will go to American Arm factories. Nice try though.
Vote them out immediately they aren’t for us.
Haha, that's funny, you think voting does anything.
No they are not, Comrade. They are for the American arm manufacturers to produce shells for Ukraine.

Tried for treason
cry about it
@@TheSpineOfTheWorld sounds exactly like what you're doing.
More taxpayer money down the drain and into politicians pockets.
More than likely!
Come election time this November these idiots in our congress will understand what "NO" vote means!
What will $61 billion of our tax dollars be used for?
What did the first $100 billion do that this $61 billion will not do, other than extend the war, resulting in more Ukrainian deaths and land loss?
Both chambers are soooooo f$&@ed up!!!
The flag of the United States of America should be the only flagged waved in the capital of the United States of America.
No more trump flags and rebel flags that the Jan 6th lynch mob had
rashida tlaib has the palistinian flag posted outside her office door in congress. Our representative certainly aren't representing us.
Well said!
Cry more
Only people who support the US and our allies should be allowed into Congress. No Russian spy's.
Taxed 5 days ago, and OUR MONEY goes to Ukraine. WTF!?
You mean to the pockets of 95% of our politicians most of them are laundering our taxed money to fill up their own pockets Ukraine is just an excuse, a way to launder our hard earned money
Everyone waving flags must be the ones getting kick backs
Speaking of which, how much is Putler paying you?
Yup. Ukraine is just a huge money laundering scheme
Who is putler?
Prove it, quickly.
They get so excited cuz they know they getting some of that dough.
We have lost this country! Who the hell waves other countries flags in our house? Unbelievable.
Uh, who shared classified information with the Russian delegation IN THE OVAL OFFICE? Did you whine about THAT too?
That flag is the east india flag.
Cry me a river.
It's great according to reddit, but good luck posting conservative comments without getting instabanned there. The Spirit of America is dead, if it ever had one, and its time people accepted that or found solutions rather than complaining. I repeat, the America of our Founding fathers is cold in the grave. It's time we either accept this new world order or decide practical solutions as to what should be done about it. No more owning the libs, no more posting some black dude who supports Trump, and the only good local news should be posted in a way that begs the question as to how our other locales can turn things around. Oh and its high time conservatives stop worshipping "having a job" as if this is some great virtue. Firstly, we do need philosophers and other thinkers to offer potential new movements. Secondly, I have noticed zero correlation between political beliefs and hard work and I've worked a number of jobs. If someone pointed a gun to my head and forced me to answer I would probably have to say liberals are harder workers, but its close. That doesn't make them better people, too many are willing to sell themselves and their coworkers out for very little.
These people don't give a fuck about America.
They do actually. They don't want the USA to turn into trump's America
@@MrWilson643 sheep playing to the neocons wake up!
Supporting Ukraine is a no-brainer and a HUGE win for America
Then you know what they can do 👍
@@robertmikolon5710 Yes, we let Ukraine down under Obama and look what happened. The fact of the matter is that if Putin is not stopped in Ukraine, it WILL lead to a broader conflict in Europe and we all know what happened the last 2 times that occured

You're hoping that Russia wins.

No nation’s flags other than our own should ever be flown in our government buildings. This is a disgrace.
That's treason
WHY don't they take a vote of the American people where we want our tax dollars to go and see how that turns out?!
That's what elections are for. Direct democracy is unworkable, silly.
Do you really think they care
@lukast02 By law, all spending bills must originate in the House, where the people are most accurately represented. A vote on every expenditure would be ridiculously impractical.
Polls show that 70-72 percent of Americans support Ukraine -- and that is including the Fox Rasmussen poll.
@@thinkerly1Not if it was a vote to send their own money. Easy to be for something when you don’t have any skin in the game.

Agreed. Those MAGA traitors who love Putin more than America disgust me too.
Youre mad because your hero Putin doesn't get to take Ukraine now.
@@dpelpal No one here is thinking about Russia except you.

May it be a repeated behavior going forward.
I support our Allies, but my fellow commenters are 100% correct! Only the American flag and related flags should be flown in the capitol. No foreign.

Anyone in the house chamber with the Ukraine flag or an Israel flag is clearly getting kickbacks.
Need more Congresswomen like Ms. Luna.
Same people would never wave an American flag……
Damned right. There should not be any flag in that chamber except the US Flag
These politicians act like kids at a Pep Rally . Grow Up DC .
If they’re in violation, why isn’t the sergeant of arms arresting them?
Because we're not an authoritarian dictatorship that arrests people over something handled by a gavel and call to order.
More money for Ukraine with our country in the condition its in. 😢 We need to clear out congress & start over.
0$ for our own security we have an emergency in our southern border this is a slap 👋 in the face for taxpayers Mike Johnson should resign
We better get some unity soon here folks. Taxation without representation is very much in our faces..
Everyone must refuse to pay taxes

Sold out again. We all know the senate will also pass it.

The disgrace of having foreign flags in the American People's House.
How dumb are we? More money to other countries like fools. I love Mrs Luna
How dumb are we (DC). So dumb that it can't be measured.
You'll still be losing money even if Putin isn't stopped. Better to lose money now, than lose more than just money in the future.
