WASHINGTON (AP) — The House approved a massive spending bill Wednesday night that would rush $13.6 billion in U.S. aid to battered Ukraine and its European allies, after top Democrats were forced to abruptly drop their plan to include fresh funds to battle COVID-19.
Passage of the Ukraine aid and the $1.5 trillion government-wide legislation carrying it let both parties lay claim to election-year victories for their priorities.

Pence tied his lasso to trumps ass as V,P, was a crony of the Donald's. That being said he knows what the Donald did. He did the right thing doing his Constitutional duty but I am done with the 5 year Donald Yes Man. Slimy is a work !

During a debate over an overwhelmingly rejected amendment to the state constitution that would have led to New Hampshire seceding from the Union, state lawmaker Matthew Santonastaso said that the United States will collapse like the former Soviet Union did in 1991.
The amendment failed following a 323-13 House vote Thursday, with the 13 in favor of seceding from the U.S. being all Republican. Many of the lawmakers, who opposed the amendment, said it was shameful that the state was considering such an amendment, according to InDepthNH, a nonprofit New Hampshire news outlet.
Several lawmakers also said that the amendment, filed by libertarian Republicans in the state House, was the first such amendment to actually be heard by a state legislative body since the Civil War.
Santonastaso, one of the Republicans who supported the measure, said that "national divorce" is coming sooner or later, and this amendment would give New Hampshire the chance to "get out ahead of it," InDepthNH reported.
The representative also said the federal government can no longer bribe the states, claiming that no citizen in New Hampshire today has "consented" to be governed by the federal government that exists today.
"I hope that we don't have to be answering that question on the House floor in the future," said state Republican Representative Brodie Deshaies, according to WMUR-TV. "I hope that everyone says 'no' to this constitutional amendment because I would prefer not to see the partisan politics of trying to remove members of this House for arguably violating their constitutional oath."
Deshaies and others said that voting in favor of the amendment could be seen by some as an act of "rebellion" against the federal government, and referred to a section of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which states no one should be allowed to hold an elected office after committing an act of "insurrection or rebellion" while in office.
If it had been approved, the amendment would have been added to the ballot of a future election for voters to determine whether New Hampshire "peaceably declares independence from the United States and immediately proceeds as a sovereign nation. All other references to the United States in this constitution, state statutes and regulations are nullified," according to the Associated Press.
Other lawmakers compared the amendment to committing treason against the U.S., with one referring to portraits of important figures in American history that were on the walls of the chamber.
"We stand in the shadow, literally, of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, and we are considering legislation to take a star off of that flag," Democratic Representative Timothy Smith said, according to the AP. "We have legislation now seeking to destroy the constitution of the United States. That is beyond shameful. It is beyond disgraceful and it is a stain on the proud history of this state that we even have to entertain this."
↑ of course they are traitors to the Constitution of the USA. The federation of States thru the people voted in to government tell the Federal government what it needs to do. The Federal Government protects the States with applied military force incase of aggression of the State by outside forces. Only fools of an yellow streak down their back and obviously corrupt officials would become an obvious traitor by thinking they can sway the huge voting public that his weak ass state is gonne be well off on its own. Heck I got more people living within 20 miles of me than New Hampshire has in its boundaries. I'm sure if there were any good jobs there most all living here would move there just for a better life and fewer neighbors.

Former President Donald Trump said there is "a lot of love" behind Russian President Vladimir Putin's efforts to make "his country larger" on Sunday as Russian troops continued to invade Ukraine.
Uhh Donald; its not love of country, Russians don't use 3/4ths of Russan land now. Its simply Greed and thought need of warmer. With Ukraine Russia can threaten / attack the whole of Europe and North Africa not only with Weapons but as a gas station. 40,000,000 People in the Ukraine. Thats genocide not peaceful treaties. Putin has put himself squarely on the 1st. strike list world wide. Can't go anywhere safely or sleep well at night anymore. Doesn't dare go to a hospital or get ill.
I believe Mental Illness is the working word for it !

Before you read the shit below get one thing straight. its over 10 years of 10 x times shit. WW3 is begun. it's happening an d only stupid blind dumb shits can't get it ! There is no diplomacy except the gun ! JHC ! Remember Germany n Italy, suckers, remember Germany and Japan, suckers, remember Germany training its air force in Soviet Russia before WW2 and then Germany assaulting Russia, Suckers. Its all the same just reversed. Instead of Japan attacking China, China is attacking S China Seas, Russia is attacking eastern Europe and Italy is making olive oil. But Iran is attacking whoever it wants so you got the same Triangle just different directive players. Russia, China, Iran and N.K. Man never changes, history repeats over and over again. Just different sort of but still the same shit !

Fascism in America: It's nowhere near as new as you might think
As America draws near the tipping point into fascism, it's important to remember that it's happened before
