It really rather is outlandish. Where are all the patriots to stand up and object?
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
CAUGHT: Top Republicans Endorse Putin | #PutinsParty
April 13, 2022
#PutinsParty is now trending
… Marjorie Taylor Greene’s newest video is a reminder that it definitely exists.
By Steve Benen - March 17, 2022
After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed members of the U.S. Congress yesterday, the overwhelming majority of American lawmakers responded by endorsing increased aid to the country trying to fend off Russia’s brutal invasion.
But members weren’t completely unanimous on this point. The Washington Post highlighted a video Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene released last night, in which the Georgia Republican pushed a very different kind of message. …
“… In other words, as the right-wing congresswoman sees it, the United States should end its support for Ukraine so that our allies will lose and Russia will win the war faster. …”
The Georgia Republican proceeded to blame “both sides” — Ukrainians and Russians — for the “smoldering conflict,” before claiming the Obama administration is responsible for the current Ukrainian government’s existence.
This is, the Post’s analysis added, “precisely the propaganda that Russia has promoted.”
Greene had plenty more to say in the clip — apparently, we’re supposed to believe U.S. officials from both parties have corrupt motivations toward Ukraine — but there’s no real point in going claim by claim, marveling at the congresswoman’s errors of fact and judgment. Indeed, the video itself is a forgettable and unfortunate endeavor from a fringe politician. …
Well, Putin is doing what trump couldn’t
President for Life
Waving, and using, his big military stick
Controlling the media
and trump and his ilk are lamenting “If only …”
The GOP is rebranding itself. Behold #PutinsParty
While donald trump keeps doubling down on his love and admiration for Putin.
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell looks at FOX host Sean Hannity’s many attempts to get Donald Trump to say “Vladimir Putin is evil,” and the reason Trump refuses to say it.
Comparing Republican praise for Putin, with who Putin is.
War And Lies: Trump Republicans Confronted With Past Putin Praise On TV
Many Republican leaders have praised Vladimir Putin and misled Americans about the facts of his record as a dictator. This MSNBC report documents some of those claims, featuring them in contrast to recent reporting and footage about Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. This is part of a larger report by MSNBC’s Ari Melber.
Remember when Hillary and President Obama wanted to normalize relations and “reset” with Russia?
I forget if they stated “Russia” in general or “Putin” specifically.
But the GOPers practically claimed they would be dealing with the devil.
Note: Currently China seems to be the GOPers emerging devil.
I wonder what the Republicans have to say about this
Wall Street Journal reporter detained in Russia on spurious espionage charges
According to the new Republican friendship with Russia, the espionage charge must be true, no? So we should just stand by and watch Russia convict an innocent American citizen and lock him up for 14 years?
If I was in charge, I would ignore the fact, thereby rending the blackmail moot, but instead furnish 1 long-range missile to Ukraine, so that it could bomb a Russian city and kill a bunch of Russian citizens in their own country and get a taste of war at home.
Anytime Russia wants to force a response from the US, furnish Ukraine with a long-range missile. Let’s see how quickly Russia will release its current trump-card and stop arresting innocent US citizens on false charges and maybe even start to think of stopping this madness.
The penalty for terrorism must always be bigger than the original action.
That is the politics of war.
