The GOP’s old guard know what’s happening here. President Ronald Reagan must be turning over in his grave.
As the House reconvenes after its Easter break on Tuesday, embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson has vowed to cajole recalcitrant Republicans into finally pushing through a critical and long-delayed aid package for Ukraine.
Johnson faces stiff opposition, if not open rebellion, from the right-flank of his own party, where extreme MAGA isolationists like Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have threatened to oust him if he pushes for more aid for Kyiv.
In February, Trump posted that the U.S. should only provide foreign aid as a “loan.” He then came out against a foreign package that would have provided for both Israel and Ukraine. Ally Taylor Greene is just picking up his baton. But such chaotic isolationism is short-sighted and wrong-headed. Ukraine is doing the U.S. and the world an essential service by keeping its Russian invader in check. The geopolitical stakes are historically high, as Taylor Greene would no doubt realize if she bothered opening a history book or taking a quick glance at a European map.
they’re russian assets ffs, can we stop pretending???
Isn’t the nsa listening and can just expose them through parallel construction?
Did you forget the part where they are both Republicans? The FBI, NSA, and CIA are filled with cult45 and other fascists. Always have been.
Agree, but I’ve got this notion that these Republicans are what about history and geopolitics and know what Russia is up to, which gives you a much different perspective than a loon republican who has been bought
Do you all remember that right before the 2016 election, there was some sort of classified briefing for the whole Congress, and when it was over it was reported that most Congressmen (Democrats and Republicans) came out visibly shocked? It was in the SCIF, and I’m having problems finding references to it that don’t involve some other SCIF meeting.
My headcanon is that was the meeting where everyone in Congress was told exactly how compromised Donald Trump and other Republicans are, and when asked to respond, Republicans said something like “We don’t care, we’re gonna win, and history is written by the winners”.
And Mitch McConnell told Obama if he makes any sort of comment publicly, he would accuse the president of trying to manipulate the elections and raise hell amongst republicans.
And Obama caved like always
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
MAGA House Republicans refuse to admit the truth about Ukraine aid
How strange. They are so incredibly honest about everything else. /s
