Hey! Get this:
I guess Bidenomics is working for you. I hope so, because if you’re an American adult over 18 your Federal government just sent $235 of your money to Ukraine.
$60.8 Billion divided by 258 million adult Americans equals $235 for each and every one one of you… And that’s just the latest installment.
If both of you work, your public servants just stole $470 from you, and your children, to send to a foreign country in which we have no strategic or economic interest.
And that’s just one item in the budget.
The infantile Democrats in Congress waved little Ukrainian flags as they pissed away your money.
I hope that makes you feel better.
Be sure to vote Democrat in the next election!
Foreigners are counting on it.

I fully support the fight against Russia and its invasion of a European ally. Also, not all aid is in the form of cash. Much is in the form is armory that is near or just expired and would have been destroyed or surplused. Last figure i read was 35% in aid was cash.
But you be you.
So send them a check.
Right on. If these people want to support Ukraine. Send them a check but leave my money alone.
Totally spot-on, Austin.
The Marshall plan worked. Can’t think of much else since.
I did think of something else. MacArthur’s occupation and planning in post WWII Japan.
The “Big Guy” has to get his cut.
The Big Guy is trying to cover his tracks.
How do you think him & Hunter got so wealthy?
Biden even publicly bragged about getting a Ukrainian government prosecutor fired – because he was closing in on his son.
He used US taxpayer money to shut down the investigation.
Biden is even more corrupt than the Clintons.
Old debunked news like the Trump dossier. But keep trying. It’s still a free country even after years of Democrat Presidents. lol
*****
Fact Check : It’s not at all debunked. Anyone with access to the internet can watch genuine footage of Biden bragging how he got the Ukrainian prosecutor fired – by bribing the Ukrainian government with $ 1 Billion of US taxpayer money to fire Viktor Shokin.

The blowhard here named Chris is a chronic liar. He once accused me of being a racist, but when I challenged him to produce any – any – evidence for his character assassination, he opted instead to publicly apologise to me in a Letter to the Editor.
I caught him in another lie when he provided a link to a complex chart of US Crude Oil production month-by-month for the last ten years, as proof of what he was saying. When I checked it out, it proved the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he was claiming.
His response? – “Oops”.
Oops indeed. This guy has no commitment to truth. He just pontificates and holds forth in these columns to assuage his intellectual and emotional insecurities.
In other words, he gets his jollies by “winning” arguments here, in his own mind at least.
Pitiful. Just pitiful.
That’s rich coming from ‘Mr Misinformation’ Austin. You brag about being smart. Doesn’t make it true though does it. LMAO
Still cracks me up that you deem it a flaw when a person admits to making a mistake before being called out on his mistake. Tells a great deal about your character. But you be you.
—- —-
Yet another lie from Chrissy.
I have NEVER bragged about being smart, nor would I ever do so. He must be referring to my gratitude towards my school for giving my a great education. So he twists that into claiming that I brag about being smart. This is a good example of how he twists things.
In plain English, he lies.
ALL THE TIME.
More misinformation from Austin. He continuously speaks to how is so smart, especially when it comes to his rants about economics. LOL. But you be you. Sad and angry.
More misinformation, sure you pointed out that I mistakenly attributed a racist comment to you in error. And because I believe in honesty, truth and integrity, wrote a public apology letter to the editor as a real man would do…of course you think that is weakness. Admitting to a mistake does not make a liar. It actually makes me honest. But you be you. Sad and angry.
LMAO
You, Chrissy, can’t come up with a single example of me ever boasting about my intelligence – because I never have.
—
Oh it may be apparent because of my perceptive and persuasive comments, but that’s not bragging about being smart, is it?
When you conclude that I’m smart, that’s on you, not me.
At least you’re right for once.

You just lie, lie, lie.
Not exactly “debunked” . WPTI, our local radio station of truthful news played voice recordings of Joe threatening the Ukranian official who didn’t want to deal with Hunter. Consequently that official was fired. And sweet little Hunter made a fortune doing a job where he had NO experience or expertise! Chris, you need to check your history…..
Hunter clearly took advantage of his father’s roll as President of the United States. No question. Sadly, that isn’t illegal. Just ask Trump’s kids. The fake news is that Biden was paid personally from his support of Hunter or that he changed foreign policy to support his son’s career and personal wealth. Both lies are often repeated but never substantiated. How long has Congress been ‘investigating’? lol
Just yet another political witch hunt like those against Trump, Obama, Hillary, etc…. Because it is easier to smear the competition than actually propose real solutions to real problems in today’s world of social media where facts don’t matter.
It is all just a distraction while the country ignore the real problems. Trump impeachments were silly just like the impeachment of the Head of HLS was silly just like the investigation into Hunter Biden and his Dad is silly. Sad actually.
Check this clip Chris to see and hear what Biden said. I remember saying it andn was astonished, but that’s grandpa Biden.

Hey Chris, if only 35% was in cash, who and how was the armory paid for. Answer: CASH from American taxpayers. That is unless some foreign country or magician just gave us all that armory for free. Then, AND ONLY THEN, would you be correct. Since that didn’t happen, it would appear you are a bit confused when it comes to the facts.
Much of the early armory sent over was near end of life so actually saved the military the cost of having the weapons destroyed. So yup. I am stand behind my statement. But you be you.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you who voted for Sleepy Joe (aka Brandon), and his behind the scenes brain trust. As a very senior citizen I don’t have to learn Chinese or Russian, but my grandchildren will.
I think you are confused. It is the Trump team that is a fan of Russian of Putin and his collection of Oligarchs. But even I don’t think he will sell out America to the Russians. Will he Sell out Ukraine for a buck?…sure he will.
And no one likes China but we have linked our manufacturing to their cheap labor, so we play nice up to a point. Biden has actually taken strong actions to force a good bit of chip manufacturing back etc…
So stop with the silly talk.
It’s only silly talk to npocton people.
Is ‘npocton’ Trump speak for something?
The flaw is that there are not 258M federal taxpayers. Probably no more than 100M that actual pay some tax.
There is no flaw. The information presented is accurate.
If you prefer to express it in terms of each taxpayer, the money taken from each taxpayer is a little over $600 (using your number of 100,000,000).
I am going to add my 2 cents worth, about Bidenomics…IT IS THE TOTAL REASON WHY THE WHOLE WORLD HAS GONE TO HELL!!! If your child is at one of the colleges or universities, that have all this BULLCRAP PROTESTING going on, and you are paying for it….YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT. It is time to TAKE BACK AMERICA!!!! I STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!!
Put the bottle down and back away slowly. You will be ok.
Our current economic challenges are the result of many years / decades of mismanagement by both parties. Let’s sobber up from our respective kool-aids and focus on who has the best or least bad plan for the future. That is why we have elections.
Yeah. We should turn over Europe to Putin. He’s MAGA. He’s Trump’s friend and our friend.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.
I don’t know what all the fuss is about just a Billion dollars of foreign aid,:and all we get is a Tik zTok ban
Consider that the money that “stays in this country” goes to companies like Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed -Grumman and other military contractors. I am sure the list of congresspeople who voted for this largess, a copy of which one of those congressmen gave Zelensky, will be used to direct funds to the campaigns of those congresspeople.
Ukraine is not an ally; it has been a source of kickbacks and general corruption for at least ten years. Victoria Nueland plotted the overthrow of the democratically elected government to install a puppet government beholden to the US so the CIA could operate close to Russia, and so the US could operate their 13 or so biolabs.
All this chest beating about a new domino theory that the Russians are going to overrun Europe seems like a stretch when they even overrun Ukraine. Russia has been provoke for years; they originally wanted Crimea and two other Russian speaking provinces but they were prodded into what has become a war 9f attrition. Put8n is a tyrant but 8f he can’t defeat what has hecome a bankrupt undemocratic regime, it begs the question 9f how could he pose a threat to all the NAYO countries.
Dead right, Dave.
Upon the dissolution of the USSR promises were made that the newly independent former Soviet Republics would never be allowed to join NATO. That was a third of a century ago. When Boris Johnson was British Prime Minister he publicly expressed the hope that Ukraine would join NATO.
That was pure provocation of Russia.
And when you poke a bear, you will get a reaction.
“…it begs the question 9f how could he pose a threat to all the NAYO countries”… Very fair question. I believe the concern is the massive amount of nuclear inventory they hold. Will they use that inventory in pursuit of expansion? Putin is unpredictable so having him tied down in a prolonged war with Ukraine makes good strategic sense from my perspective.
Interesting. Taxwise, assuming someone has to someday pay for this debt, shouldn’t you take into account progressive income tax? Someone in the top tax bracket pays more than someone in the bottom. And maybe the billionaires should pay even more. And what about other sources of Federal gov revenue … like corporate taxes and tariffs and fees, etc?
Once again it’s Chris versus the world
…because he lives in his own little fantasy World.
Not really. The Rhino comment section is mostly a circle jerk of conservative viewpoints (mostly repeating conservative media narratives). As a longtime fan of the Rhino and an ex-conservative I would hate to see the Rhino become just another version of Truth Social or other conservative vacuums. Just here to add flavor!
Important to remember there is a wide world of differing opinions so don’t think that the handful of people that comment in the Rhino Times is a representation of the collective whole of the US. Note that conservatives only make up a third of registered voters.
Just sayin
