We all know the whole maga bs about sending money to Ukraine instead of the border is a red herring anyway… even if Biden gave maga all they wanted for the border they would find something else to complain about and hold hostage…
RE: Border
It's really not about the money, it's simply about enforcing the laws already on the books and not telling the outside [third] world to "storm the border if I'm elected", as Biden said on the campaign trail and has allowed the masses of mostly fighting age men to do ever since.
Although, yes, he's also using taxpayer money to literally charter in FROM some of these countries on flights these "asylum seekers". He's using taxpayer money in the form of grants (not to mention local tax money in far left cities) to house these people. He's busing these people from the border to wherever they want to go. Sometimes flying them as well. It's freaking treason in my opinion. We are going to be paying for this underclass forever now. It's terrible, especially on middle class families who are birthright citizens just trying to work and live a decent life here, giving their kids a better life. Yea, this is just absolutely a crime against our humanity, is what it is.
RE: Ukraine
It's not that it's the majority of our budget, but it is still a big chunk of change flowing into the hands of corrupt politicians in UKRAINE and oligarchs over there, and there's no accountability, not to mention it's pointless and does nothing for the American people. It's money being sent there that is money that was earned by middle class and working class taxpayers. It's taking money that should go to infrastructure in this country, or something that would benefit the taxpayers, and sending it to corrupt oligarchs in another country. It's sheer lunacy on a level I am at loss of words for.
To think that Putin was (or will) going to invade Poland or other "more legitimate" countries that were already in major treaty organizations was idiotic at best. Nobody can deny there is a long and complex history between Russia and Ukraine that is beyond our understanding here in America. Sort of like the Middle East and Afghanistan. We love just getting involved in these "complex" regions where it's nebulous and a bullsh*t PR story can be concocted and parroted by the compliant state media we have, get that war machine going, and line the pockets of those who always benefit.
And on principle, since we are talking about Ukraine's borders and sovereignty, it's the ultimate slap in the face to Americans already suffering from inflation and other government created crap that we would take taxpayers' hard earned tax money and ship it overseas with no accountability whatsoever to some historically corrupt country involved in some war that means nothing for us over here while at the same time letting God only knows how many poor, bottom feeding "migrants" in without any accountability or enforcement on our own border. No sane rational country would do this. This is all deliberate, and it's a coup to create a large and permanent underclass that will always vote Democrat.
Why do I even waste my air on here. I am alone in my viewpoints, completely on here, but not alone in wider scheme of people in this country!
