Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced Friday that he will strip funding for Ukraine out of a Pentagon spending bill after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) joined conservatives in blocking the legislation from advancing earlier this week.
McCarthy said he would remove the $300 million for Ukraine currently in the Pentagon appropriations bill and hold a separate vote on the funding.
“It would be out and voted on by itself,” McCarthy said when asked about the Ukraine aid in the Pentagon appropriations bill.
The Speaker’s announcement comes one day after a band of five conservatives opposed a procedural vote for the Pentagon appropriations bill, sinking the effort and preventing the legislation from moving forward. It was the second time this week that hard-liners blocked the funding bill from advancing.
Man the Republicans changed. Not 40 years ago everything red is dead, and now they’re falling over eachother to be able to suck Putin’s dick. Anything for money and power, no?
The weird thing is just that people somehow don’t see this?
I’m from Central America, Republicans and Americans started a proxy war and used as all as fodder, made us fight a civil war where each side was funded by Americans and Russians. They made us all fight and die just to keep the Russians out of this side of the world. They killed so many of our people and torched our country, just so they can call us racist names for fleeing the war to the u.s, and they can suck Putin dick and give in to the Russians they killed us over.
Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing. These are people who refuse to admit when they’re wrong, so rather than admit that they were wrong about the Republicans, they just find ways to justify it instead to soothe their psyche. And the people running the show know this and use this to great effect.
She told him in front of an audience that she would “fuck him up” six months ago.
Imagine being terrified of Mammy Traitor Green.
Well have you seen her? Pretty sure we have an Encino Man situation going on there. She is probably freakishly strong from having to battle sabretooth tigers and dinosaurs before getting stuck in a tar pit.
For a second I actually thought the thumbnail picture was Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Bruh 😂
Those shoes are mine, Betch!
Hmm, am I missing a reference here? 😅
McCarthy might be the biggest coward in Congress. And there’s a lot of competition for that title.
so how the hell did it flip so hard? “russia bad” used to be the most simple thing they rallied behind.
Money, kompromat, a model for their vision of fascism, who can say …
Speaker of the what?
Punk ass bitches
Green is a scab on our country
More like the crusty pus that oozes outbid the cracks of an infected scab.
Good job McFucksy, waste more of the Americans tax dollars doing dumb shit. Flesh waster.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Speaker’s announcement comes one day after a band of five conservatives opposed a procedural vote for the Pentagon appropriations bill, sinking the effort and preventing the legislation from moving forward.
The rule failed for a second time on the same day that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with lawmakers in the Capitol.
“Our defense appropriations bill should never be going to fund a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, so this is a victory for common sense,” she later added.
The failed rule vote Thursday was a blow to McCarthy, who has sought to advance the appropriations process ahead of a Sept. 30 shutdown deadline — to no avail.
