That whisper of wind you heard through the budding leaves on trees this afternoon was a sigh of relief from soldiers on the front lines in Luhansk and Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia as the House of Representatives overcame its Putin wing and passed the $95 billion aid package which included $61 billion in aid to Ukraine. There hasn’t been a Ukrainian aid bill passed by the House since December of 2022, a little less than a year after Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine began. The Biden administration began asking for this aid package for Ukraine last August, but because Donald Trump told them to, House Republicans have been sitting on their hands and refusing to pass it.
I have many family members who’ve served in the US military ranging back to the Revolutionary War. It gets really personal when I see these chicken shit Putin sympathizers essentially giving the middle finger to all of my relatives who fought bravely to support this country—and global democracy. I’m reading the diaries of my grandfather who served as a US Army Lieutenant in WWI in France right now. This brings it all home.
My hope and prayer is that this defeat of the 112 House Republicans who voted against the aid package for Ukraine will result in them all being sidelined and ignored going forward, and that their craven kowtowing to Orange Julius will be written in phrases similar to the capitulation of Vichy France to Hitler in WWII. We know who won then. History may not repeat itself, but I hear a rhyme.
"That whisper of wind you heard through the budding leaves on trees this afternoon was a sigh of relief from soldiers on the front lines in Luhansk and Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia" that was some poetic writing and it is beautiful both in prose and content.
Sporkfoot Marj doesn't have the votes to oust Holy Mike Johnson, and that must be driving her insane, or more insane than she already is. I suspect that she was aiming to become Speaker herself. Starting to look like her power is diminishing.
I am still trying to come to terms with the fact that MTG, so dumb she has referred to "Hitler's gazpacho," is 1) a Congresswoman 2) someone other Republicans feel they must placate and 3) someone who news orgs feel deserves ink. A sign of our disintegration and schools failing. This girl is dumb as a box of rocks and yet, somehow, there are people who listen to her. 😒
MTG has blood on her hands. i don't know how she (it) sleeps at night (in a coffin?). I hope that every single republican in the Congress is voted out in November. The American people have had enough of this shit!
It is a relief to see the Democrats vote for the funding. Ukraine is taking the hit that we would have to take if Russia overran Ukraine, then Poland. They are depleting Russian trigger pullers, equipment, arms, and munitions. If they weren't doing it, we would be doing it one day. I am so pleased to see #Moscow Margie losing her few supporters. Clearly, the GOP house is rudderless. We have yet to see if they try to overthrow Johnson in an effort Margie is leading. I would love to see her castrated [metaphorically] as she serves no useful purpose. She took a great number of hits on twitter today. It was a good day and trump is feeling the pressure of the trial. Sitting in a courtroom for 6 weeks may take a toll on him. They will pump him up on drugs to keep him awake. I am disappointed that we funded Israel as they continue their brutality against a defenseless population. Israel needs to stop their apartheid policies and if it is not apartheid, it is the first cousin of apartheid. It is an open air prison, a phrase some do not like to hear, but it is what it is as the younger folk like to say. Israel JD...
Imagine if the DOJ had investigated the Members of Congress who appear to have provided info and tours to the insurrectionists leading up to January 6, some of whom are in the Putin wing. The DOJ has allowed them to get away with treasonous behavior. Now they can continue to follow Trump's orders, defy voters, disrupt Congress, and promote Putin. Will they ever face consequences for their reprehensible behavior?
In terms of intelligence and verifiable information in the last few days, Lucien, it is becoming clear that what is coming out of TFG's (to be charitable) lower orifice is as foul as that coming from his mouth.
Good to see Putin's MAGA Puppets go down! It's still unbelievable to me to see the Cold War Repub warriors who used to fight anything Russian deteriorate to this. If Russia put missiles in Cuba today MAGA would be lined up to welcome them and make the US a satellite state with Comrade Drumpf and Moscow Marg as figurehead leaders.
Speaker Johnson turned his back on the unwritten and uniquely Republican rule invented by Speaker Dennis the Perv Hastert Rule of not bringing a Bill to the floor unless a majority of the majority supports it. The Uk aid package vote was 101 R yeas v. 112 nays with 1 voting present. All 210 present Ds voted yippie aye yay.
The 112 R House members voting nay included at least 2core with weapon/ammo plants in their district. Didn't cross-check it with the Infrastructure however me-gut suspects some overlap to voting nay while touting the $$$ and jobs from both in their district.
Uk must show success and progress from this tranche cuz it's highly unlikely any more direct aid will be approved in the House before the election. And if Trump wins forgetaboutit post-election.
Still can't get over Uk is in a fight for their life yet will not conscript 18-25 year olds whether male oir female. Major and high-tech weapon systems don't take and hold dirt, grunts do. And small arms are far less expensive yet deadly as fuq.
It’s the slow-motion, what’s next?, “can you even imagine” aspect of Trump’s antics that’s most infuriating. That he forces us to watch this and constantly wait for the next shoe to drop.
Nothing pleases me more than seeing MTG get her comeuppance…Secret Jewish Space Lasers strike again!

Good to see Marjury Traytor Greed and her Putin pals get their wings clipped. Hope it's the start of a long term trend.

Let him speak! Donald Trump's own mouth is our best weapon in defense of democracy.
