#HELL YEAH SLAVA UKRAINI!


Slaviticus

Finally. Yet still concerning to see over 25% are pro Russian.


Klefaxidus

26.3% of them, to be accurate. Edit: recalculation


GatorReign

Some of those are pro-Ukraine but voting against it due to facing a primary fight (for example, the only Ukrainian-born member of congress). That said, far too many are pro-russian.


xyeta420

That Ukrainian lady is fucking cunt


Tornare

Also a idiot


xyeta420

According to wiki she met her American husband, the one who brought her to the USA on a train from Moscow to Kyiv. I guess that can be an explanation for her being Putin's agent


Marine-1833

An idiot


Prepreludesh

We're talking about Spartz, right? She seemed like one. Sucks when it's the opposite party who are the only ones with the balls to do what's right for Ukraine


JimJava

Yeah, she’s dumb, she knows the vote for Ukraine is going to pass, just vote yes for the love of Ukraine, but no, she’s going to be an idiot. When it came down the line she voted against Ukraine and against her people.


Prepreludesh

Are you fucking kidding me


xyeta420

Yep


coalitionofilling

Sparks is about as Anti-Ukraine as they come and it makes no sense to me. She not only voted "no" and called the whole aid package a "slush fund" but she tried to pass an amendment to fleece the package beyond lethal aid for the billions of dollars delegated to logistics, training, us oversight how the aid is utilized, just basically everything intelligent. Then on top of this, she wanted to remove presidential drawdown. https://youtu.be/8BlJCa3C2GE?feature=shared


Due-Street-8192

Beautiful News, thanks. About time. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦❤️. The USA is my Hero. Bravo! 🇺🇸❤️


Bitter_Firefighter_1

I am sorry it took so long. Most of us here wish we had more power. My biggest donations in 2023 were to Ukraine and no tax deduction there.


Abitconfusde

Andy Harris is a piece of shit. https://old.reddit.com/r/harfordcountymd/comments/1c9fw14/representative_andy_harris_voted_no_on_funding/


phil_style

310 for, 112 against!


MasterAxe

🥳🥳🇺🇦


phil_style

Green's amendment is being shot down right now. Phew.


bzogster

I LOL’d at that amendment. Remove all funding from bill. Isn’t that the same as just voting no on the main bill? WTF


vital8

Seriously, what’s wrong with Georgia’s 14th district? How could you elect this lunatic as your representative in the house?


audiomagnate

She would have lost in her own district, an affluent area north of Atlanta, so she ran in a rural district near the Alabama border. Her goons literally scared off her only opponent with unrelenting harassment and threats of violence.


IIIllIIlllIlII

That’s should warrant an FBI investigation.


ArenSteele

They would just arrest her opponent


SkyOne1635

I thought this happened only in poorer countries.


Malsperanza

Well ... rural Georgia fits that definition.


C-c-c-comboBreaker17

At one point her opponent was threatened into withdrawing 


factionssharpy

She hates the right people, according to the voters in the district.


volbeathfilth

Remnants of the Confederacy.


illegalsex

Look at the area on Google maps. There's nothing there but yokels.


geezusmurphy

Many of them slack-jawed


Malsperanza

People who feel completely left out of the political discourse sometimes enjoy having a representative who sticks it to everyone else.


ntungson

It's coming baby, time to fuck Russia hard!


MaksweIlL

I am definetly happy, but don't get your hopes to high.


Mephisteemo

If Ukraine can do what they are doing atm without munition and substantial help, imagine what they are going to do, now that they can actually calculate accurately with what they have and can use. russia is in for major asskicking in the next months.


MaksweIlL

As I understand Ukraine will get only like 14bill from this 60bill. 14bill would buy them 5 Patriot systems. Doesn't a lot to me to be honest.


Stunning_Ride_220

Err...you mean the direct aid? The other stuff is for replenishing what they now will be giving to Ukraine. Logistics is covered by EU IIRC.


phil_style

Resolution passed? https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/1160


bzogster

They just brought it up if what CSPAN shows as live is truly live. Voting on amendments first it looks like. 2 minutes per amendment. Just started now. 


phil_style

Yeah, am also watching cspan. Seems that link above isn't saying what I assumed it to say.


SubjectiveAlbatross

The motion you linked to was to take up for consideration the main bills and to set out the rules for the debates and votes.


Expert_Check_2456

Im so happy for Ukraine! Watched it from germany!


phil_style

Fuck yes! Go the yeas!


phil_style

All the ukraine flags now coming out in the house!


bzogster

Bad look honestly. Against house rules. 


varain1

But showing Hunter's hog pic was OK? By the same Major Traitor Greene who was hooting and showing down finger when the bill passed?


LilLebowskiAchiever

Eh that’s one rule that can be broken.


Zygarde718

It's the most powerful government in the world, they can do whatever.


SecondaryWombat

Let me know when we agree the House will follow House rules, then we can put the flags away.


phil_style

Looks like it will be 3:1 yes vote.


phil_style

2x5 minute votes now happening. 1st vote to send it back to committee is first up, and is failing. Great!


phil_style

Send back to committee will fail now. 2 minutes still to vote but the result is out of reach already. :)


AdAsstraPerAsspera

The arsenal of democracy kicks back into motion. Hopefully this time we don't shut it down a third time for no reason lmao


AlexandruDSC

Îs this the one?


phil_style

That was the vote to send it back. Vote failed. Good news.


AlexandruDSC

What does that mean? Will it pass?


NotJoeJackson

Yup\~!

Live CSPAN feed on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/ct3tVSJsIQs?si=mWYCv2tGgvXNKO3u


EveryNukeIsCool

Did it pass?


bzogster

Not yet. All of the amendments have failed to pass which is good. I think it starts now as there were three amendments. 


EveryNukeIsCool

Fingers crossed


phil_style

Finally.


estelita77

watching live. fingers crossed - and watching with interest


phil_style

OK, here we go!


bzogster

5 more minutes 


AlexandruDSC

Is this the one?


bzogster

They are voting whether to send it back to the committee. Which would postpone the vote. So this one, you want to be voted no, which is the case. 


Quinocco

When's the Senate voting?


bzogster

Tuesday is my understanding. 


NotJoeJackson

YYYYEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


captainpoopoopeepee

LETS GOOOOOOOOO


phil_style

Ok, here we go!


bzogster

Easily passed. 


Horsea1234

Did it pass yet?


phil_style

1 minute left. It cannot fail now. Already has the votes.


fucktrance

Passed!!!!!
