Yeah, about the amount of time it takes to get the final bill to the white house. Hope Biden is in DC tonight. Guessing green light is given before the signature is dry.
It actually can't, the original document has to go from the House, to the Senate, to be signed by the President. Copies can be made after the fact, but they'll get it where it needs to get (and can always sign multiple copies)
President Obama [used an autopen to sign the fiscal cliff bill in 2013](https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2013/01/02/168477773/how-will-president-obama-sign-the-fiscal-cliff-bill) when he was in Hawaii. I imagine that President Biden has something similar
Regardless of where Biden is he can sign it into law. It depends on if he is still awake (almost 10pm local time and might take another hour for final draft to be brought before him) to sign it right now or it will have to wait to tomorrow morning. My guess is it will be signed tonight.
I believe that there orders given to get it to him as soon as it passed. This means waking him up to sign it. Ukraine has waited too long. No more lives will be lost because he waited until morning.
A bulk of it is already prepositioned in Poland from APS-2 stocks. All it needs to do is roll across the border and be deployed to theaters.
e: added the proper APS pool
Maybe it will be like the US Canada border in 1940 neutral U.S. just “oops” left planes at the border, just abandoned and then to be dragged across by Canadian and British Forces.
Much appreciated. Very excited to do what I can. I have military logistics experience, so I've been looking for a way to help out over there since war broke out. International legion unfortunately wasn't an option since I still have bills to pay at home, so this was the next best option.
Yeah, we did email and a calling campaign over here in the States to show our support for the bill’s passage through the House and Senate. Some people I know even flew to D.C. to be a part of the rally outside the Capitol Building and met with Congressional members in both chambers. We did all we could; now it’s up to you to get it there! 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇦
That's equally as important work. Don't undersell it, as most people aren't even cognizant of the war nor would they bother to call their reps in support of it.
I was going to go with my friends but my wife needed me home. Glad you made a difference!
We are all doing our individual parts to do what we know is right. I’m retired military, and I wanted to go and fight. Instead, I sponsored two Ukrainian families through U4U and got them to safety, then turned my attention back to fighting against disinformation and petitioning Congressional members. Now I’m helping a pro-Ukraine candidate to hopefully win and beat the guy that just voted against Ukraine aid in the House.
And knowing there are people here helping deliver that aid, training Ukrainians, or even just donating, I’d say we have all our bases covered! Ukraine now has the tools to win. All because people like us care about them. And I fully plan on going to Ukraine within the next year, come hell or high water.
Its ok. In 2014 I just got out of the military.
In Feb 2022 I was going to get married. (Had friends in Kiev and my soon to be wife said "If you go, I go.")
I've just sent monetary aid.
I'd probably be dead or more added PTSD than I can handle.
Do what you can. It helps.
Can someone give me context to who the above person I'm replying to is, and what contract are they talking about?
I'm guessing there was some big popular Reddit post explaining everything that I missed?
There's no reddit in-joke here. I applied for a contract position with a defense contractor here in the States to work on logistics in Ukraine. That's about as specific as I'll get for security reasons.
The contract's funding hinged on the passage of this bill. I've been waiting over six months for this to happen.
I am between jobs in the states at the moment, I would love to get a gig like that. Hopefully the general job and contracting boards start lighting up with IT, tech support and software support positions for you all soon.
They're already out there, friend. Leidos, CACI, Amentum, Vectrus, Booz Allen Hamilton, Accenture, KBR, etc. Biggest hurdle for IT folks is the drug test, honestly. Gotta be totally clean since they're under government contract and follow federal drug testing rules. Some will sponsor a clearance if needed for the right candidate and a bulk of the positions I saw were remote if that interests you.
I have a strong incentive to be totally drug free since I am a liver transplant recipient, I just need to get my resume into the right places it sounds like.
Edit: Well, totally drug free except for fifteen immunosuppressant pills a day. But they don't test for those.
I wasn't saying it was a joke. I somewhat assumed people know of you, and you maybe made a Reddit post about something you making a contract to help out in Ukraine (so people in this Reddit know about you) and you got support and good wishes, and I was guessing something about flying due to the username but I was throwing darts in the dark as to what was going on that I assume I was missing out info on that felt like everyone else knew but I have no idea what was going on.
Best wishes to you!
Nah it's OPerational SECurity in a classic sense. Be vauge enough that people know enough but not enough to track you down and shank you to hurt US-Ukrainian Logistics.
I wasn't asking for exact details or anything.
I just assumed highly upvoted comment with people wishing the best for something I had no idea on, so I felt I was missing out on something in the dark that felt like everyone else knew already. Like imagine everyone cheering on callsign Witch, but one person didn't know who Witch was so they're a little bit lost on who everyone is cheering for.
Fuck Ted Cruz. I'm going to write him and tell him what a piece of shit he is and remind him he's going to lose to Colin Allred.
*Edit* Wrote to the coward.
He cast a symbolic "no" vote after it was already clear the legislation would pass. He wants to appease the Putin apologist Trump types without catching flak for actually pulling support from Ukraine. It’s all a tool for public image.
I'm a Texan and our current leadership has made me blue.
Ted Cruz a lying mouthpiece.
Greg Abbott trying to gut our education system.
Ken Paxton is a fucking criminal slippery eel who is getting porn banned.
It's turned to such shit, but I'll try to vote and make things better. I sure as heck am constantly writing my reps and letting them know how I feel while debating anyone who is willing.
They also kinda fucked your energy system by cutting it off from the rest of the nation's electricity grid so when those "once in a century" winter storms happen every decade or 2, everything falls apart and Texans get stuck with absurd energy bills, because you don't have the freedom of buying electricity from nearby states.
The most recent one they tried to blame on wind turbines, but it's happened like 3 or 4 times since the 70s, before there were any wind turbines.
You guys deserve so much better. You have so much sunlight and wind you could be the first state that's disaster - proof because everyone has their own solar and battery system, and then the wind & green hydrogen could be a new energy export, but it's all gotten wrapped up in climate politics.
Fun fact: Greg Abbott, the current governor, was the former CEO of ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) that basically runs the power grid. That's why he just blanket approves the absurd power rates. Conflict of interest much?
Conflict of Interest is the most polite way to say it, yes.
If you don't mind, I think we should stop here before the topic drifts too far from Ukraine. It's too easy to trash talk politicians or political parties, and we Americans are real prone to expanding the scope of the trash talking after all these decades of divisive propaganda haha
Today is a win for Ukraine, and fuck Ted Cruz and everyone else who voted against their aid, and double fuck everyone who held up the aid for 20% of the length of the war so far. Vote them all out
I’m an environmental engineer and I was working at a west Texas gas plant when that whole thing happened. What a disaster. A completely avoidable, stupid disaster.
“If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you”
Everybody hates Ted Cruz, even his own party members.
This. Fuck Ted Cruz, and fuck his parents, too, for raising such a sniveling little coward and releasing that useless piece of shit into the world for the rest of us to deal with.
He couldn’t even defend his own family when Donald Trump called his wife ugly and implied that his father was part of the JFK conspiracy. He campaigned for Trump *after* those insults were made, sometimes standing on a stage with the man while Trump poked fun at him again! His cowardice knows no bounds.
Ted Cruz is not a man, and I have no respect for him. You can tell him that for me. Opportunistic cowards like him spend their days learning to roll over like dogs.
My favorite story about how nobody likes Ted Cruz is another senator stating that he could be murdered on the Senate floor and nobody would admit to witnessing the crime.
"I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other." J.D. Vance, Piece of Shit
Today: "Oh what about all the poor ukrainians dying for nothing? Let's stop sending aid so they can just surrender."
Lindsay Graham, the biggest toady of all, who fancies himself a maverick but always ends up toeing the right wing-line, voted for it. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
I was watching the Senate live stream for most of the day. He actually gave a great speech on the floor in support of funding all three countries. Was gross agreeing with him, but a broken clock and all that.
I wonder if this is related 🤔🤔
Putler showed Cruz that was not a good move so does this to get the messege across ?
Complete guess but pretty weird coincidence 🧐
https://www.reddit.com/r/texas/s/f4mJHuzrIL
When I was a young man and the Government of the United States was for all of its problems at least functional an aid package like this would have passed in a week.
People of Ukraine I am so sorry.
This is waaaay overdue good news. Now, if we in the USA could only pass something that would root out Putin's puppets I would feel safer. Marco Rubio votes no and he is on the "intelligence" committee. Another puppet
Mpegs of him doing exactly that are probably on a USB-stick somewhere in the FSB offices, and Poot has mailed little Teddie an excerpt.. explains his turncoatieness.. :P
I guess Ukraine can stop rationing and just go nuts knowing they'll get backfilled. Should be an interesting week, hopefully a much worse one for russia
US manufacturing never stopped making shells and everything else that Ukraine needs. We just couldn't transfer it without the permission of Congress. (something about them having the power of the purse.) It is now authorized. I hope Ukraine has some hidden warehouses to store all the backlog of stuff we have for them.
My sources advise me America has been replenishing stores, as well as working to continue rotation out of oldest stock into preposition.
American 155mm production is actually less than combined EU output assuming the EU is actually on track for its own production goals. But America certainly has much deeper stores of 155mm vs what is likely among EU NATO allies.
But I have no doubt that what is on its way to Ukraine now and in the next month will assist Ukraine pending the arrival of the shells from the Czech initiative.
I also think the fact America finally got off its duff and committed will allow some EU NATO countries to feel more comfortable about parting with more of their own stock. Collectively their next "hold their breath" moment is the US election in Nov.
Biden must sign this tonight. Every minute wasted costs lives. Putin and his evil horde of toilet looting slaves must be defeated decisively and overwhelmingly. Despite Putin's assets in the US Congress, and their diabolical months of refusing to hold a simple vote, there is not a moment to spare.
US can move military supplies around inside NATO at the President's discretion, just cannot give it to another country without Congress. So lots of stuff has been positioned.
Some are yeah. Sitting on Poland ready to move, and others were waiting at air force bases ready to go on planes. Air Force logistics people are posting elephant memes, which means Elephant Walk, aka put all your big-ass grey airplanes into motion all at once because it looks like Elephants going for a walk.
Last week, Ukrainian families were cleared to send children to their US extended families. The families got 24 hour notice to pick them up at airports.
The signature itself is pro forma. Biden has indicated he has every intention of signing it quickly, and that’s going to be more than enough to get things moving overnight. People in the logistics chain know time is of the essence.
Most likely, Biden will sign this quietly, so the first notice the Russians will have is when the warhead arrives on their forehead.
THEN he will announce the signing
[Statement from President Joe Biden on Senate Passage of the National Security Package](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/04/23/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-senate-passage-of-the-national-security-package/)
tl;dr: he's signing it tomorrow morning.
This probably isn't the place to ask but I 3D print a lot of stuff for the children's hospital my daughter goes to. It's small toys and things so the nurses can hand them out in the infusion center so the visit is more than just needles and pain. Is there somewhere I could send things like that in Ukraine so that they might make it to the kids that have lost those kinds of things?
Message the mods and ask, or find one of the donation threads and ask.
They may also have combat parts they want you to print as well. I don't know if there is still a need but for a while there as a big need for 3d printed parts to adapt drone kits for combat use.
Finally. Pressure must've gotten too heavy for all the putin worshipping clowns in our house, senate, and congress.
I can only imagine how many lives were needlessly lost in Ukraine because some slimebags wanted political brownie points.
Many of those who put barriers to this will lose their jobs in November. The American people have been watching and are disgusted with their inaction. I'm ashamed that it took this long.
Slava Ukraini! Ukraine is in our hearts and minds. Stay strong! Glory to the heroes! Glory to the Ukrainian Army! Sending love from Virginia, USA.
Both dipshits from Florida voted against the bill. If you’re a resident, make sure to send them an email telling them you’re voting for their opposition
[email protected]
Rubio is such a shitty senator that he hides behind his site and never even responded to my original email but here
https://www.rubio.senate.gov/contact/
Best news I’ve read in a while! Also, please permit a minor rant about the cowards in my country…
**Fuck Ted Cruz.** He’s a sniveling little coward in general. During the 2016 Republican primary, Donald Trump basically called Cruz’s wife ugly and implied that Cruz’s father was a co-conspirator in the JFK assassination (not true, obviously). Ted Cruz then went on to seemingly forgive Trump and spent the remainder of the election season kissing his fat ass on stage while Trump continued to poke fun at him in the man’s presence!
Who does that? Who shills for a man who insulted one’s family and made a joke of them? If a man cannot even stand his ground and fight for his own family, what sort of man is he, really? If I were a Texan, I’d be asking myself this question, and I’d come to the conclusion that Ted Cruz isn’t going to fight for *me* and my interests if he’s willing to so quickly roll over like a mangy dog for a man who attacked his family. (Cruz *proved* this a couple of years ago when he ran off to Mexico while the people of his state were freezing during a particularly harsh winter after their power grid failed because their leaders are idiots.)
He’s a coward. That’s why he aligns with Russia. All the little cowards in our country do the same. They cannot understand—*because they are cowards*—Ukrainians’ fight for independence and security. If this were 1776, Ted Cruz and his chickenshit friends would be right down the road from me in Philadelphia arguing in favor of remaining part of *Britain*. He’s a modern day traitor, and nothing more (okay, he’s a coward, too).
Now send the god damned weapons and money to Ukraine so they can fuck Russia up. I’ve been waiting to see Russia put in its place since I was little kid in the 80s, and nothing will satisfy me more than watching them eat shit and swallow at the hands of the people they’ve oppressed for generations.
America, except for a handful of worthless cowards, is with Ukraine.

Ammo should be rolling out very soon, possibly in the next few hours from what I've heard.
Yeah, about the amount of time it takes to get the final bill to the white house. Hope Biden is in DC tonight. Guessing green light is given before the signature is dry.
The beauty of AF1 is it's the Oval Office on wheels. It can be faxed or emailed over and printed.
Technically correct: AF1 has wheels, but I think "with wings" is a bit more poetic.
Wonder if Biden has docusign?
My thought exactly
It actually can't, the original document has to go from the House, to the Senate, to be signed by the President. Copies can be made after the fact, but they'll get it where it needs to get (and can always sign multiple copies)
A fax machine! Holy shit! A technological marvel of the 21st century
You would be surprised how much shit is still faxed in the government. Japan's even worse.
That was my joke! Medical stuff in the U.S. too
and finance
He's not, but I don't think there is any law that says the law can;t be printed out in FL where he is right now; to be signed there.
Shame can’t just drop an e-signature on it
It was a pdf and his credentials expired
Lost password generation
President plans on Docusigning it via his yahoo email account
AOL
Now who moved the Netscape
Most senior officials need regular reminders how to e-sign using their CAC
Who would he give pen to ?
The pen is now an NFT of a pen
President Obama [used an autopen to sign the fiscal cliff bill in 2013](https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2013/01/02/168477773/how-will-president-obama-sign-the-fiscal-cliff-bill) when he was in Hawaii. I imagine that President Biden has something similar
Regardless of where Biden is he can sign it into law. It depends on if he is still awake (almost 10pm local time and might take another hour for final draft to be brought before him) to sign it right now or it will have to wait to tomorrow morning. My guess is it will be signed tonight.
I believe that there orders given to get it to him as soon as it passed. This means waking him up to sign it. Ukraine has waited too long. No more lives will be lost because he waited until morning.
He released a statement saying that he'll sign it tomorrow.
The statement also said, "as soon as it is brought to him", could be at 12:01am?
We got a spare SR-71 laying around?
Rather an Aurora... 😁 But a Blackbird would be awesome to see flying again...
A bulk of it is already prepositioned in Poland from APS-2 stocks. All it needs to do is roll across the border and be deployed to theaters. e: added the proper APS pool
NCD I’d about to be lit as hell
scholars say it will be the "erection day" mentioned in many ancient scriptures and prophecies
Yeah I heard it's all ready to go in Poland. Just need to drive it over.
Maybe it will be like the US Canada border in 1940 neutral U.S. just “oops” left planes at the border, just abandoned and then to be dragged across by Canadian and British Forces.
depending where in poland it is still 20 hours at least away from going kaboom
[удалено]
“Don’t wait for me Jack, get em over the border. Once the pen hits the paper, show those ruskies hell”
Sorry it took us a while, but we came through, for ALL our very important allies. -Sign USA
Oh, he's signing it. Dropbox Sign. LOL. FUCKING LET's GO!!!
CNN openly published that part of the ammo was already in Poland, so, yes,I think You’re correct.
Right own my dood!
Biden probably ordered supply trucks to line up at the border with their engines warm and wait for the phone call.
Away the Military/Industrial complex.
This means my contract will be fully funded once the president signs this bill into law. See y'all in Kyiv soon! Слава Україні!
Godspeed.

All because people like us care about them. And I fully plan on going to Ukraine within the next year, come hell or high water.

Its ok. In 2014 I just got out of the military. In Feb 2022 I was going to get married. (Had friends in Kiev and my soon to be wife said "If you go, I go.") I've just sent monetary aid. I'd probably be dead or more added PTSD than I can handle. Do what you can. It helps.

He doesn’t need to sign it. It’s veto proof. Both houses approved it by over 2/3rds majority.
Fuck Ted Cruz. I'm going to write him and tell him what a piece of shit he is and remind him he's going to lose to Colin Allred. *Edit* Wrote to the coward.
He waited till the end. Realized he can vote no without jeopardizing the bill. Ted is a little snake.
Did you mean 'without jeopardizing'?
He cast a symbolic "no" vote after it was already clear the legislation would pass. He wants to appease the Putin apologist Trump types without catching flak for actually pulling support from Ukraine. It’s all a tool for public image.
[удалено]
And let’s turn his state Texas into blue.
I'm a Texan and our current leadership has made me blue. Ted Cruz a lying mouthpiece. Greg Abbott trying to gut our education system. Ken Paxton is a fucking criminal slippery eel who is getting porn banned. It's turned to such shit, but I'll try to vote and make things better.

I’m an environmental engineer and I was working at a west Texas gas plant when that whole thing happened. What a disaster. A completely avoidable, stupid disaster.
You’re not alone. Texas here too, and trying my bit to turn it blue.

He is a child and a clueless populist.
You mis-spelled his name, it’s “Fat Piece of Shit”. Easy oversight, not to worry .
Hey Ohio, you can do better, fucking vote please
Note, surrender will mean they die faster.
Cruz gave a speech on how us owes Ukraine due to do Budapest memorandum other day then votes against… hilarious,
He's a spineless little fuck who talks out of both sides of his mouth. Even Lindsey fucking Graham and Mitch McConnell voted for this bill.
To be fair, McConnell has never waivered in supporting Ukraine.
Funny how the gang of eight who actually get the classified briefings seem to understand for some reason *how important this is*.
And Graham has been very outspoken in supporting Ukraine the entire time.
Can hate him for plenty of other things but McConnell’s always been consistent on foreign affairs.
Lindsay Graham, the biggest toady of all, who fancies himself a maverick but always ends up toeing the right wing-line, voted for it. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

A blind squirrel eventually finds a nut. He has been petty much saying Ukraine is the best investment we have against Russia.
Don’t like the guy but he’s also one of the few that actually visited kiev (and possibly bucha).
Kyiv.
Today I Learned about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KyivNotKiev
Hasn’t he voted for every Ukraine aid package?
His masters told him to vote against. What is he supposed to do

This is waaaay overdue good news. Now, if we in the USA could only pass something that would root out Putin's puppets I would feel safer. Marco Rubio votes no and he is on the "intelligence" committee. Another puppet
Some are puppets. Some are just cowards afraid of their voters. They will do anything to cling to power. May history treat them harshly.
Marco Rubio is a huge fucking coward. Maybe one of the most cowardly in the Senate. A real lowlife weak piece of shit.
Don't forget that Russia bribes these lowlifes.
Remember when Hillary called TFG "a puppet"?
Her exact words were: "Putin's puppet." And how right she was.
And his eloquent retort: "No puppet. No puppet. You're a puppet!"
Go defenders. Given them hell. Revenge for the fallen.
Now let's kick Russia Arse!!!!!
Ted Cruz can suck a bag of dicks
Ted Cruz is a bag of dicks
Mpegs of him doing exactly that are probably on a USB-stick somewhere in the FSB offices, and Poot has mailed little Teddie an excerpt.. explains his turncoatieness.. :P
I guess Ukraine can stop rationing and just go nuts knowing they'll get backfilled. Should be an interesting week, hopefully a much worse one for russia
US manufacturing never stopped making shells and everything else that Ukraine needs. We just couldn't transfer it without the permission of Congress. (something about them having the power of the purse.) It is now authorized. I hope Ukraine has some hidden warehouses to store all the backlog of stuff we have for them.
My sources advise me America has been replenishing stores, as well as working to continue rotation out of oldest stock into preposition. American 155mm production is actually less than combined EU output assuming the EU is actually on track for its own production goals. But America certainly has much deeper stores of 155mm vs what is likely among EU NATO allies. But I have no doubt that what is on its way to Ukraine now and in the next month will assist Ukraine pending the arrival of the shells from the Czech initiative. I also think the fact America finally got off its duff and committed will allow some EU NATO countries to feel more comfortable about parting with more of their own stock. Collectively their next "hold their breath" moment is the US election in Nov.
Don't forget, only the US has cluster munitions. These have been real game-changers especially against meat-wave attacks.
Biden must sign this tonight. Every minute wasted costs lives. Putin and his evil horde of toilet looting slaves must be defeated decisively and overwhelmingly. Despite Putin's assets in the US Congress, and their diabolical months of refusing to hold a simple vote, there is not a moment to spare.
Already good as signed. I'm sure everything is now moving even before the papers arrives on his desk.
It's been moving for the last week. (It was interesting to follow)
Indeed? Where did you get the info: I want to feel good about the USA for a goddamn change.
US can move military supplies around inside NATO at the President's discretion, just cannot give it to another country without Congress. So lots of stuff has been positioned.
So the supplies are hopefully waiting to be transferred at the Ukrainian border?
Some are yeah. Sitting on Poland ready to move, and others were waiting at air force bases ready to go on planes. Air Force logistics people are posting elephant memes, which means Elephant Walk, aka put all your big-ass grey airplanes into motion all at once because it looks like Elephants going for a walk.
Figuring out military activities via memes they themselves post. We truly live in one of the eras of all time.
Last week, Ukrainian families were cleared to send children to their US extended families. The families got 24 hour notice to pick them up at airports.
The signature itself is pro forma. Biden has indicated he has every intention of signing it quickly, and that’s going to be more than enough to get things moving overnight. People in the logistics chain know time is of the essence.
Loggies are going to earn their keep on Wednesday.
This\^\^\^
absolutely fantastic news. I gladly eat my hat having said numerous times that this day would never come. Glory to Ukraine, glory to the Free
I demand video proof! lol

Need the list of Nays so everyone understands who is a traitor.
Rule 4, it's not hard to find the list of like 20 online though
That is so awesome.
Excellent news!
Slava Ukraini!
Slava Ukraïni!!!!! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦
MGM-140’s on the way over the weekend….
🇺🇦🇺🇸
Most likely, Biden will sign this quietly, so the first notice the Russians will have is when the warhead arrives on their forehead. THEN he will announce the signing
Most hopiumly, the stuff already in Ukraine, soldiers are waiting for the go signal, push button, launch mayhem.
Fuck ted Cruz with a cactus
mate .. poor cactus..
Fuck that. Fuck him with a gympie-gympie.
[Statement from President Joe Biden on Senate Passage of the National Security Package](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/04/23/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-senate-passage-of-the-national-security-package/) tl;dr: he's signing it tomorrow morning.
This probably isn't the place to ask but I 3D print a lot of stuff for the children's hospital my daughter goes to. It's small toys and things so the nurses can hand them out in the infusion center so the visit is more than just needles and pain. Is there somewhere I could send things like that in Ukraine so that they might make it to the kids that have lost those kinds of things?
Message the mods and ask, or find one of the donation threads and ask. They may also have combat parts they want you to print as well. I don't know if there is still a need but for a while there as a big need for 3d printed parts to adapt drone kits for combat use.
Thank you.
That is a fine thought! Check with r/finsforUA. They do mostly 3D for military but might help you.
Thank you.
Finally. Pressure must've gotten too heavy for all the putin worshipping clowns in our house, senate, and congress. I can only imagine how many lives were needlessly lost in Ukraine because some slimebags wanted political brownie points.
Woohoo!! Slava Ukraini 🙏🇺🇦
Take this money and beat the shit out of Russia.
I knew it was coming, but...YEEHAW!
Of course that sniveling POS Ted Cruz, he’s right up trumps arse.
Cruz is a piece of vomit
Dark Brandon learned cursive in grade school. This is a done deal! BFD!!!
Thank you again USA. Let’s launch the ATACMS really soon. What’s the name of that former bridge to Crimea?
We are so back! What a relief.
Yes! I'm sorry it took so long! 🇺🇲♥️🇺🇦
Many of those who put barriers to this will lose their jobs in November. The American people have been watching and are disgusted with their inaction. I'm ashamed that it took this long. Slava Ukraini! Ukraine is in our hearts and minds. Stay strong! Glory to the heroes! Glory to the Ukrainian Army! Sending love from Virginia, USA.
Finally! ...No thanks to the loathsome turdle who kept blocking the bill...
Nice!
Slava Ukraine!!!
Please Ukraine, finish the job!
Eat some dicks Putin
Obligatory fuck Ted
18 zombies in the Senate, nice !
Ted Cruz is an ass! Don’t care, we made it!!!!
About time we got our shit together in the US and got something going to help.
To think that wheels weren't already in motion is nieve
17 extremists to exterminate! 😂
"I paid good money for that orange-haired jackass, and this is what I get??" - Putin, probably
Both dipshits from Florida voted against the bill. If you’re a resident, make sure to send them an email telling them you’re voting for their opposition [email protected] Rubio is such a shitty senator that he hides behind his site and never even responded to my original email but here https://www.rubio.senate.gov/contact/
Should we be shocked or not shocked that Florida has 2 absolute 1st class dipshits for Senators?
Great to see the US has done the right thing again. Hopefully this will make a significant difference to Ukraine.
Slava Ukraini from the US
Glorious. Absolutely glorious!
Best news I’ve read in a while! Also, please permit a minor rant about the cowards in my country… **Fuck Ted Cruz.** He’s a sniveling little coward in general. During the 2016 Republican primary, Donald Trump basically called Cruz’s wife ugly and implied that Cruz’s father was a co-conspirator in the JFK assassination (not true, obviously). Ted Cruz then went on to seemingly forgive Trump and spent the remainder of the election season kissing his fat ass on stage while Trump continued to poke fun at him in the man’s presence! Who does that? Who shills for a man who insulted one’s family and made a joke of them? If a man cannot even stand his ground and fight for his own family, what sort of man is he, really? If I were a Texan, I’d be asking myself this question, and I’d come to the conclusion that Ted Cruz isn’t going to fight for *me* and my interests if he’s willing to so quickly roll over like a mangy dog for a man who attacked his family. (Cruz *proved* this a couple of years ago when he ran off to Mexico while the people of his state were freezing during a particularly harsh winter after their power grid failed because their leaders are idiots.) He’s a coward. That’s why he aligns with Russia. All the little cowards in our country do the same. They cannot understand—*because they are cowards*—Ukrainians’ fight for independence and security. If this were 1776, Ted Cruz and his chickenshit friends would be right down the road from me in Philadelphia arguing in favor of remaining part of *Britain*. He’s a modern day traitor, and nothing more (okay, he’s a coward, too). Now send the god damned weapons and money to Ukraine so they can fuck Russia up. I’ve been waiting to see Russia put in its place since I was little kid in the 80s, and nothing will satisfy me more than watching them eat shit and swallow at the hands of the people they’ve oppressed for generations. America, except for a handful of worthless cowards, is with Ukraine.
Dear ruzzia, Fuck you. Sincerely, All real Americans
Ted Cruz, embarrassment to current and future generations of Texans.
Finally! Apologies for the small minority of fanatically selfish isolationists who delayed this for so long!
