Send Biden to the Ukraine and LEAVE HIM THERE
😂😂😂😂
😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂
It’s not “the Ukraine.”
What the hell? We can’t even take care of our own people!!!!!
I see a lot homeless sleep on the street and ask for money to eat
How come we not helping them
So weird
You know 1B would amount to a $3 investment per US citizen. Not only would that do little to help the US, it is a tiny amount of money FROM us. They tax us for these exact situations. If we didn’t have these funds we’d be fucked.
So, you’re basically saying since we’re struggling in some areas (as the richest country in the world) we can’t use that VERY tiny amount from each taxpayer to do something this important? Not to mention the fact that 80% of that is taxes from the richer 20%. So for regular folks it’s hardly any money at all. You have no point.
Not the issue here, comrade.
wow! American citizens are paying the price! gas prices, the cost of food and living as gone up. where is our help?
Everyone griped about his mean tweets now were a long way from help
@Sagebrush So you are saying we should denounce the government and stop paying taxes, living off the grid and never use anything we didn’t create with our own hands?
you bot? Ukraine is given old weapons, which will rot in a warehouse in a couple of years. 100 howitzers of the first models, not upgraded. Ammunition is already at the end of its expiration date. Of the new ones, only 4 MLRS for 3 months. Ukraine destroyed 6 Russian MLRS yesterday. Javelins aren’t new either. which shoot at 4 km, and the old ones which also have an expiration date. The United States has not produced Stinger MANPADS for a long time, they are so old. So the help of what will already rot in the warehouse. What is better for you, what would rot? Under pressure from the United States, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, more missiles than in China. Also, Ukraine, under pressure from the United States and Russia, sawed tanks and missiles for 300 km.
Unbelievable!
Will the future be that our Country cares so little for its own people that we’ll have to be the ones to migrate for help.
If they don’t lock you in first….then yeah.
We are already that way, we have been that way
The FED has lost it and the sad fact is, it’s pretty obvious we are headed for hyperinflation. I think stores better have tight security because when people can’t afford to feed their families, things might get ugly
@heavenly 💯
Do you live in the Bay Area. I am Desi, and already people are looting the stores hear. So expensive. I am moving to Florida.

Who is Washington trying to pay off???
The 44 billion wasn’t enough, someone didn’t get a cut 🙄
10% For the “Big Guy”.
First it was 30 billion… Then another 44 billion… Now 100 billion
$41 Billion sent to Ukraine in the past month.
WTF! 40 billion not enough.
WTF! These politicians are OUT OF THEIR MIND
Fracking kidding. Don’t know what Ukraine done with the 44 billions and they’re giving more. Stop already.
To hell with the Ukraine. Fix the US first. If Europe is worried let Europe figure it out
AGREED
@dioxideuniversal not sure if you noticed but a couple grand and an advance on your tax return didn’t do much. Special interest, state and local gvts, YouTubers, and big biz did ok with the last round of money printing. How much of the 45billion will the big guy get?
This guy is happy because his buddies are gonna back hand him some money once everything is said and done, he’ll be living large on our tax money 💰 🤑
We have to help home right about now..or we won’t be able to do anything to anyone pretty soon at this rate… but.. I think that’s plan. Definitely better get prepared America 👏🏾
Why is he “especially pleased” to give away another $1B of arms ? Wat is the plan, if Ukraine wins, to get that $50B back in cash to the US citizens ?
“Biden announces $1 billion more assistance to Ukraine instead of Americans”
— I fixed the title for you.
Most of this ammunition was already bought and the stuff being sent is not going to be replaced with those weapons.
Your point is moot. We have plenty, PLENTY of money. Our problem is policy and idiotic leaders. Money won’t fix that. That $1B is just $3 per US citizen. So it’s not a big contribution from us, and it wouldn’t be a big one TO us. Yet to Ukraine, it is a life raft. A very worthwhile investment and gesture, coming from someone who can’t freaking stand Biden. Stop getting blinded by tribalism and see things for what they are, not for who implemented them. This is the same kind of thinking that led to the onslaught on Trump for every little thing he did. It’s pathetic towards anyone, Trump or Biden included.
Screw it, just give them a trillion more dollars, why not.
What a stand up guy Loyd is, I guess his seat at Raytheon payed in dividends.
I can’t imagine how well some of us might be doing if we were getting aid and funding with these kinds of money, I’m a retired veteran, I get nothing but social security 🤔
So sad Dennis you fought for AMERICA and that’s all you get is SS …..this is SAD
