Warning: This is my take on the situation in the Senate and will most likely contain words that some may find offensive….you have been warned and maybe pass this post by if you are easily offended.
Our crackerjack Senate is spending a lot of time trying to hammer out a deal for more air to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan….looks like they are close to a deal (for now)….
The Senate on Sunday took another step toward passing a $95 billion foreign military aid bill that includes funding for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
The Senate worked through the weekend to deliberate the legislation and voted 67-26 in a procedural vote to move it forward. The chamber held a similar vote last Thursday to deliberate on the legislation, which also passed with 67 votes in favor.
The final vote is expected to happen sometime this week, but it’s unclear when that will happen as Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) continues to vow to do anything he can to delay it.
Paul said he would hold out until “hell freezes over” and indicated he would delay the vote by speaking about the national debt on the Senate floor.
“I love to talk,” Paul said, according to CNN. “That’s one of my favorite things to do. Yes, and I slept all day yesterday waiting for this. I’m going to take Adderall — nah, I’m just kidding.”
According to NBC News, Paul estimated on Sunday that a final vote would likely be held on Tuesday or Wednesday after he exhausts his ability to delay it.
If all 100 senators agreed to hold a final vote, it would happen much more quickly. Proponents of the bill believe that the procedural vote is a preview of the final vote, so they expect it to ultimately pass.
“I think we’re going to pass this spending bill for Ukraine. We’ve already moved past several procedural hurdles that require 60 votes. I think there will be 60 votes in the end,” said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT).
The bill is what’s left after Democrats stripped border provisions from a $118 billion piece of legislation that was negotiated with Republicans. Senate Republicans initially agreed on the deal, but later came out against it once it became clear it wouldn’t make it through the House. At this point, it’s unclear if the $95 billion foreign military aid bill will be brought to a vote in the House.

My take on this and it is my opinion like it or not….
I have had enough of Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan….Congress has taken too much fucking time on this issue….
Where is the concern that was promised by the Dems for the price of meds for Seniors?
What part of this fucking deal has any implications for the average peasant sitting at home wondering if he should feed the kids or get his meds?
I say fuck everything else work on improving Americans lives and benefits before throwing money away on some shithole across the pond.
I know there is always the House that could prevent this deal but would that help you or me?
Besides special interests have deep pockets and large wallets so they can get whatever they want from the slugs in Congress.
I have had enough of these fuckers!
Did you vote for these scrotum lickers to throw your money away and ignore your situation?
(You were warned….sorry if you were offended but some things need to be said and said with gusto)

“lego ergo scribo”
You needed to get that off your chest. And as always, you made some very important points in the process. Well done!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanx John chuq
After reading this post, I am so proud of you — so damned proud of you — telling it like it is without sugarcoating one ounce of shit…love it, love it, love it!
Thanx for the kind words. There is more to come. chuq
Yes, by all means…I adore the new Chuq—The world needs your kind of focus and clarity–
Again I appreciate it. chuq
So many curse words: the, and , things, for, each, , vote, deal, work , out, clear. Where did you pick up all this profanity ? Were you in the navy ?
Piuck it up from dealing with idiots for so many years…..besides you were warned. chuq
Geez, you can say ‘cocksucker’, chuq, you won’t be hit by lightening.
I do not know them well enough to make that call chuq
Just don’t turn your back to them in a shower.
I have soap on a rope…..chuq
convenient.
😎
I’ll be damned. You won’t even let ME say ‘cocksucker’ on your site? What’s the difference between scrotum licker and cock sucker, cock sucker, cocksucker?
Pay attention chuq
listen up anonymous– it is about the same as testicle diver….or other such descriptive terms nominally applied to individuals of the perverted persuasion…fits the right turds very well….
Scrotum lickers? Don’t they sell those at Home Depot? Oh wait.. I think Carhartt makes those. Oh, I dunno.. I get those mixed up with that candy from Hersheys.. the stuff with the almonds. Wait.. don’t they play for Denver?
No they play for San Jose chuq
Ha!
I yell at my TV a lot, chuq. It just sits there and takes it. Reminds me of me and marriage.
I feel your pain, old buddy.
I have foam bricks I throw chuq
If you all are familiar with MY blog at all…John’s Web Space … you will learn how the artful use of a few profane words not only does not actually harm people, but it adds an aura of spicy titillation to what might otherwise be mundane topics..so I sprinkle all my posts liberally with whatever obscenities I think will sledge hammer a point home….works for me… and I have made one concession….I changed “C*ck S**ker to “Cork Sacker.” Means the same thing. It is kind of like adding mustard to a hotdog….or frosting to a cake ….
I like directness…..no sugar coating that is why I warn…..chuq
keep up the more than excellent work.
I shall do my best. chuq
