If Ukraine needs stuff, give them stuff, not cash. Why give them cash just to give it right back buying our stuff? Oh yeah, because you can't launder through a charity or skim from pallets of stinger missiles and man-mobile anti armor rockets. It's the same reason bums never want a sandwich despite holding a sign that says "Hungry": they don't really want food and intend to do something with the money that spoils your charitable inclinations. This funding bill smells exactly the same, like the sour perfume of month-old B.O. and piss.
Paul:"“All I requested is an amendment to be included in the final bill that allows for the Inspector General to oversee how funds are spent,” Paul posted online. “Anyone who is opposed to this is irresponsible.”
Schumer's warped mind: Paul is blocking our access to billions in kickbacks and money-laundering!!!!!!
Schumer's mouth: Paul is heartless and isn't supporting the poor defenseless people of Ukraine
A perfect summation of what likely transpired.
Fuck I thought it was "only" $30 billion.
