House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Saturday crushed a putsch by far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Republican rebels — pushing through a $95.3 billion aid package that funds the fight against Russia, the defense of Israel and resistance against China.
Lawmakers in a rare bipartisan effort overwhelmingly approved the four-bill package, including one measure providing $60.8 billion for Ukraine. About 80% of that money will go toward replenishing supplies of US-made weapons and ammunition and other direct military assistance.
Another $9.5 billion is in the form of a forgivable loan.
The bill passed 311-112 with all “nay” votes coming from Republicans, including Greene who was hailed as “Moscow Marjorie” by

The cover of Sunday's Post: "Nyet, Moscow Marjorie" and she's wearing a commie trapper hat.

Wow…there went billions right down the drain of which we will have zero oversight. No accountability and that kind of money means one thing, corruption. This is not about supporting Russia, it is about trying to save the economy of this bankrupt nation. Now they are telling us that we will be able to send bullets instead of our men and women to fight there. What is Europe doing? This war is on their doorstep. I am disgusted with the funding of a war that Joe Biden pretty much ginned up. He goaded Putin into invading Ukraine and ask yourself why has there never been a serious effort toward negotiations to end this senseless killing? We all know that war is profitable for the right people and if they want it, which they do in this case, it becomes a reality whether we the people want it or not. I guarantee when Biden was trash talking Putin before the shooting began, Trump would have been at a negotiating table trying to prevent the loss of life and devastation that Ukraine would suffer. Now remind me again who the dems said would get us into many wars? Right, it was Trump. The war mongers in both parties got exactly what they wanted, war for profit. Since WWII we have been feeding the military industrial machine just as President Eisenhower warned us. What has that done for us? Made the war mongers extremely wealthy and sent far too many of our men and home in body bags, survivors home with extreme injuries, and PTSD that absolutely devastates the mental health of our military. War was meant to be fought to be won. We fight for a reality that grinds up our military and makes many evil individuals and corporations rich. Where is the accountability for this disgusting and ongoing policy? I am all for protecting this country and assisting our allies, but what we are doing now is shameful. Accountability and a push to begin serious negotiations should be top priorities. When is the devastation enough or is the insatiable lust for blood money never satisfied?

MTG is one of a very few patriots that have not sold out to the Uniparty cabal! This loss will be remembered as the beginning of the end of the great American experiment! It was a great run, but all countries collapse! We must turn to and worship God now! Jesus is all that matters anyway! Eternity with Him makes our short suffering in this life not even a blip in our existence! We are eternal beings! Either with Jesus, Heaven…or separated from Him forever, Hell !

#2 Makes many cogent points as always!
Accountability and the well-worn term "Transparency!" we often hear no longer applies.
These so-called 'rebels' take actions which have little or no effect except to put the proverbial crap in a punch bowl which the media will spin 24/7/365 ad infinitum AGAINST sound policy. They have seemingly NO IDEA about cause and effect of their actions upon Americans when they showboat and spout which is more fodder for the media to make fools and iditots of them.
THIS is why good people get corrupted and compromised and cowardly RINOs bully them to bring them back "into the fold" of spending YOUR MONEY instead of "THEIR" money all the while thinking they are doing a grand gesture for the World. Meanwhile, our nation is being over run with ILLEGAL ALIENS and so the very idea that they would protect OUR National Security by putting money into securing OUR border instead of Ukraine's is completely lost on them.
The 16 'republicans" from TEXAS of all places who approved this without first DEMANDING that something be allocated to protect the border is INSANE. Many of them call themselves 'conservatives'. Now that they are on the November ballot after being winners of the Texas Primary feel that they are now safe from the public's scrutiny and do not have to answer for their treachery.
It's always the same-- you and I have live within our means, but somehow NOTHING like this ever affects them and they can no longer be trusted as stewards of the people they represent.
Reps. Crenshaw and Luttrell are at the top of the list of people who need to go~ military heroes they might be, but they need to be excoriated and hounded by those they 'represent' when they return to their districts to be reminded of their duty to those who elected them. MTG and Gaetz and the 'rebels' had no plan once they blew up lying Speaker McCarthy and now that Speaker Johnson appears to be brainwashed away from the values he expressed upon being elected Speaker, he also needs to be REMINDED who butters their bread.
The traditional Reagan Republicans are outnumbered by the addicts who think they are elected to make largess in the government a priority by spending OPM-- other people's money.
I don't know about you, but Bidenomics has taken my financial well being down MANY notches, and the idea of 'just electing republicans' means almost nothing if you have one of those persons who would put Ukraine above America's future and security.

MTG had better watch her Mouth. If Mike Johnson has had enough, he might just throw down his Gavel and walk. Then where does it leave the House? In the Minority! The Senators must be laughing their AAA off right about now! They don't even have to wait for the Election to try and get the House Back, the House Members will hand it to them without a fight!

Soo the fake news NY post thinks MTG is far right for wanting a balanced budget, giving billions $$$ to foreign countries we borrow from China with High interest, stating Johnson & Kevin promised to release the J6 tapes...still waiting, falsely stating they would allow 3 days to read a bill...

Moscow Majorie huh? In World War II, fought AND WON by the greatest generation the Russian grunt fought along side our boys to kill the nazis. Today Mike and his new best buds want us to fight along side the nazis in a country some folks call THE money pit, and their handlers the WEF to kill the Russian grunt. Oh and mom dad, you want to send your little boy or girl to a charter school ,well your money is being used for other more important things like the tightening of the globalist garrot around your neck. MAGA

A "foregivable loan" is not a loan, it's an outright gift. Zelenskyy's wife must be tired of wearing last year's dresses. You people need to upgrade your propaganda phrases because it has all become too visible for what it is. MTG is not far right, she is an American with common sense.

Democrats love to use Russia to attack any Republican.
They used the Russian Hoax against Trump, now they call Marjorie Taylor Greene Moscow Marjorie.
Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene are two Great Americans.
So much better Americans than those of both parties who placed this ignorant name on her.
Scum all of them.

The fact the NYPost has the comment section turned off for this article says to me that they know their readers agree with MTG. The owners know the readers are pro-America, they just don't want to hear it.

The fools who buy all the Putin disinformation really are helping the Russians grind down a free, independent country that has been struggling for decades to rid itself of the deeply embedded USSR communist system.
I don't understand how "conservatives" can go all in with buying all the Russian disinformation without grasping that they are being the "useful idiots" of this time.

Connecting "Make America Great Again" to the make Russia powerful again, Russian disinformation and anti-Ukraine crap is a SERIOUS tactical error.
We should be supporting ANY country that is fighting against any outside invader. If China invades Taiwan, we should ship weapons to Taiwan, as another example.
None of this "pro Russia" crap has an legitimate connection to MAGA, and yet, MAGA gets smeared because of stupid fools who are "conservatives" yet swallow all the Russian disinformation.

# 13...I don't know anyone talking pro Russia. That is a slander as you stated thrown at those of us sick and tired of endless corrupt losing wars designed to drain America of our wealth and blood. If you think America should stop all invasions where would you like to start? How about Africa?

Equally dishonest, the same issue of the Murdoch New York Post contains a lengthy article about a brutal assault by a "13-year old girl" on a middle school classmate. You have to read the Daily Mail's account of the same incident to learn that the assailant was actually a biological male. Not much difference between the Murdoch properties and the rest of the regime media.

More and more (every time she opens her mouth) I think Greene is a loose cannon on deck.

MTG has been repeating St. Petersburg Internet Troll Farm talking points for awhile now. It is really off-putting. Reminds me of the 1970s Democrats who ended aid to South Vietnam because they wanted North Vietnam to win.
Never thought I'd see that sort of thing in my party.

First of all, she should sue or take a moment to call out the slimeball from FLA and the absolute traitor, Buck. Public officials are fair game, but calling her an agent for Russia because she questions the money laundering nazzies in Ukraine is just a smear by far left money.
I know mr. double poster likes to rant about many things he has some knowledge of, but being puzzled by opposition to more unsupervised inflated money to criminals in Ukraine, proves he isn't the big brain he thinks he is. This is everything that was wrong about Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, plus a lot more deep state corruption.
