Well, considering that the Ukrainian flag in that picture contains at least one Nazi emblem (SS) on it I would figure they would support that

There’s a joke about this — Question: What’s the difference between a Ukrainian and a Republican?   Answer: A Ukrainian defends his Capitol. >

Republicans love Putin >

This shift is the absolute weirdest thing to me. Like…..what?!? Russia has been frenemy #1 since the Cold War. Communism… red scare?!? Literally a republican talking point (I know, talking point is an understatement) during that time frame. Fucking wild that the new MSM for right-wing politics is actively trying to create Putin sympathizers…and it’s working! 🤯 >

It sort of tells you the GOP have never believed in anything. They lie, grift, and con whenever it suits driving wedges to get the idiot vote. >

Valid point. Especially since the purpose of the red scare was ostensibly to hunt down political opponents and prominent civil rights leaders  instead of actual communist cells. Which is exactly the angle on contemporary republican actions, I feel. >


Some right-wing members repeatedly remaining seated in standing ovations during the Zelensky speech:

Matt Gaetz
Lauren Boebert
Andrew Clyde 
Dianne Harshbarger
Warren Davidson
Michael Cloud
Jim Jordan >

Gym Jordan the pedophile enabler? >

It was college students. So not a pedophile as much as a rape enabler. >

Well, he's a Republican, so he still falls squarely on the pro-pedophillia side. >

"President Zelensky is working to protect his country's border and his people, I get it, I really just wish our commander in chief would do the same right here at home and secure our southern border." - Lauren "garbage human being" Boebert

Equating those two things is so mind numbingly ridiculous I still can't believe there are Americans as dumb as she is that votes for people like this. >

They're so damn concerned about our southern border, yet nothing bad is happening there. The GOP Twitter constantly goes on about how the border crisis is an invasion, blah blah blah, but never say what's actually happening or how to fix it. It's so annoying. >

But if they call it an invasions enough their voter base believes it, then gets upset “nothing” is being done to stop the invasion even if there is nothing to do and the republicans offer no solutions to the “invasion”. >

And then there's the omnibus bill, they claim there isn't any funding for the border, BUT THERE IS. They looked at the wrong section 😭😭 AND they don't think bees are necessary for us. Ignorant people >

You’re assuming they can read. >

The GOP in Minnesota accidentally legalized hemp-derived THC so there's precedence for this haha
"Minnesota state Sen. Jim Abeler, a Republican from Anoka, told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune he did not realize this law would allow THC-infused edibles of any kind and thought it would only apply to delta-8 THC products." >

The GOP loves Russia. >

It’s the same kind of government they want for the US. If/when Russia collapses in on itself, it’s a final indication of their chosen political framework being a dud, and they can’t really pitch to their base how much better Russia is when they’re politically and economically insolvent. It’d be like telling a kid there’s no Santa Clause. So they gotta keep the game going or they’re cooked. >

I'm pretty sure when Russia collapses all the oligarchs are just going to move to the US.  They pretty much already do >

see: Trump selling apartments to russian oligarchs >

Is there a source for this? I’d like to share with people >

Putin's puppets. >

Yes! I got 2 right! I'm surprised MTG isn't on that list. 
Also, why Boebert and Gaetz always together? It's so creepy. >

Shit-birds of a feather flock together, Randers. >

That's right bud >

Username checks out. >

I dont care if the GOP showed up and stayed sitting looking at their phone, clapped, or stayed silent, or whatever they wanted to do.
My biggest concern, and the one that terrifies me the most, is the fact that there are a lot of people who voted for these politicians, and they share the same values, ideas, and views. >

Riiiight? Fuck me the 24h news cycle model is absolutely pathetic. They’re Trying so hard to make this nothing-burger into something huge. 
If only the news focused on much those billions of dollars for defense contractors would’ve been  better spent on healthcare or education in the US, but alas, here we are, talking about people fucking clapping for a foreign president. Lovely. >

The Putin shortlist. >

I see what you did there >

Boebert, Gaetz and Jordan on that list, makes sense, they've likely been consuming heavy helpings of Russian propaganda throughout this war. It's only natural after all, the right wing media-sphere, social media included, is basically a conduit for Russian misinformation and Putin talking points. 
Now couple that with their penchant for pettiness and partisan antics, their narcissistic, undying need for attention, their insufferable, childish, and caricature-like behavioral tendencies, and you've got the perfect recipe for a frivolous political stunt with a shameful display of ignorance on the side. >

Some of the reasoning from the non-sedition caucus reps.

I will not support sending billions overseas when mothers in America can’t feed their children.

I voted NO then, and I will vote NO now.

Rep. Diana Harshbarger

Democrats showed higher attendance and more respect for President Zelensky from Ukraine than they showed for President Trump at SOTU.
Happy to meet elsewhere, but Zelensky should not speak from the chamber of the United States House of Representatives.

The Soviet Seven >

They would be the Putin Caucus.  Over the past couple of decades Putin has invested much time and money into influencing the  extremist religious right, the NRA and the Republicans in general.  Many of them are tainted by their money. >

How in the world did so many pro-Russia assets get elected?
Ukraine is the kind of conflict that every US politician would've dreamed about twenty years ago. A righteous war of good vs evil, of democracy vs tyranny, which costs no American blood and made the defense contractors rich.
What happened? >

Putin made a few key purchases...the NRA, Rand Paul, Trump, etc...and it all fell into place >

I'm a firm believer that standing ovations are earned and no one should be shamed for not partaking in one, but it just so happens that all seven people on this list were already absolute garbage before that speech started. >

Yeah, I was watching, and with my bad leg I kinda understand not standing every single time, but at the very least stand during the first and last ovations, just for respect. I think even Zelenskyy was getting tired of pausing every five seconds to wait for these geriatrics to stand. >

Many republicans are Russian sympathizers. A great many. >

Russian employees >

I wonder how these seven would feel if their homes were blown up and they, with their families, were freezing in a basement. I bet they would want someone to help them survive. I’m all for being fiscally responsible but for God’s sake, how about some common empathy? >

Nothing the Republicans do is about fiscal responsibility. That's the lie they tell to entice naive college students and stupid boomers. >

Exactly. "Fiscally Conservative" is a label not a philosophy for Republicans >

Fox news is also beating the pro Putin drum extra hard. >

I thought Republicans thought using guns to protect the border was a good thing. >

How is it possible that Republicans are so openly supporting Putin and still Americans vote them in. Apparently Americans love Putin. >

We’re doomed as long as one of the two major political parties functions only to stop the other.  They have no policies of their own and have no idea how to govern - they simply push culture war bullshit, fear-monger, and devote all their time to voting against anything the other party proposes.
Even I don’t always agree with the Dems, but they’re the only adults in the room and the only ones actually trying to tackle issues that affect regular people like me.  The Republican Party is simply trying to profit and hoard power by spreading chaos. >

The Republican Part is a domestic terror group.  Whatever rational Republicans they had either left or were pushed out a long time ago.  When the leader of the House Republicans has to beg the support from a woman who believes Jews started the California wildfires with lasers mounted in space, you're done.  The Republican party we all thought we knew is gone, its a far-right militia, controlled by religious extremists now that wants to take over the country. >

Wow... >

Not even playing devil's advocate can I understand what their deal is. I can see clear and obvious bad faith behavior from R's all day long and know exactly why they're doing it, but I truly don't get this. Even if they don't think we should be giving them aid (which yeah, pretty fucking stupid take too, I'd rather our country give financial aid then get into a hot war with Russia), how you could sit there and openly show disrespect for him considering what's going on blows my fucking mind. >

They’re just mad Zelenskiy didn’t fold to DJT: “I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it”. >

Republicans are losing their shit bc they’re traditionally the strong foreign policy people and Dems are taking that political high ground from them. >

They talk a lot about demanding respect and being respectful but never give respect when due.
IDK why Boebert and Gaetz were even allowed in for failing to pass security checks, and why they bothered to show up if they were just gonna act like whiney children >

Not a single one of them (or any of their voters) are any benefit to this country. Wish we could deport them to Russia. >

Those who didn’t stand for Ukraine stood instead for Putin. These people are traitors and should be weeded out of government >

remember when the Republican party was all about family values and integrity and the Russians were the enemy? good times >

I'd be happy to agree with Boebert to have the CIC send troops to the southern border like Ukraine has had to do as soon as the Mexican Army invades Texas, NM, and Arizona and commits genocide on US Citizens. >

To what end would the Mexican Army do this? Like, how would it end? Would they "win"? >

Based on Russian logic, they just want their stolen land back. And frankly, let them have Texas >

They are showing their choice between Ukraine's Democratic Government, and Putin's Dictatorship. They are siding with Putin. The question now is do they side with Putin when loyalty to the USA is in a question? >

Uh, yeah. Trump wanted to yank the US out of NATO and suck Putty's dick. These asses  supported Trump, 2+2=4 and water is wet. >

GOP and Russia go hand and hand #GOP4PUTIN >

I can understand having policy differences and disagreeing with President Bidens foreign agenda. But I think it is absolutely disgraceful to sit when another head of state is present, let alone one who is holding his country together with his own two hands. What a blight on this country to score some cheap political points. >

Everyone who sat down was required to because Putin was watching and wanted to know who was still loyal. >

McCain is right. Boebert and Gaetz=embarrassment >

Putin's Publicans. >

These are a portion of the people working for the Kremlin. >

Same jerks as always. >

Not surprising since right wing media has been in support of Putin and Nazi Russia for years now. Disgraceful Russia puppets. >

The entire GOP are swine who hate women, freedom, and democracy >

Republirussians? On the Kremlin payroll. >

If liberals and the left really want to support Ukraine, they can just pretend they are against supporting Ukraine. This will lead to near unanimous support for Ukraine from the right, and a few dissenters from the left can join them to pass legislation to continue to support Ukraine.
The insurrectionist party is predictable and that should be exploited at every opportunity. 🙂 >

The whole reason they sat on their hands is to get Trump-like press like this to show their stupid Nazi donors. All human people should just ignore them, unless you catch them out in public without bodyguards. >

Nobody I voted for.   Im doing my part! >

*Putin supporting Fascists & traitors >

Republicans are consistently on the wrong side of history and they will be remembered as unpatriotic traitors, useful idiots of our enemies, and complete fucking disgraces wallowing in their own ignorance wrapped in the flag thumping a Bible. >

whew, that was a lot of ads to wade through to get to the names >

It's like they have no sense of legacy at all. How do they think this will be viewed 50-75 years from now? >

If they had just said a bajillion standing ovations is overkill I would’ve agreed with them. >

Nazis gonna nazi. >

And there she goes, trying to make this about immigrants from Mexico again! And still there are people who fall for that crap. Somehow… >

So they all stood at the end? Seems like less of a story. I'd get tired of standing every thirty seconds too. >

It wasn't just Republicans. Rhode Island Democrat Jim Langevin also sat for the whole speech.  Putin-loving bastard.  /s >

Maybe he had a wheely good reason. >

While I fully support US helping Ukraine, I am also proud that in this country members of Congress are not all required to be 100% united. >

Typical reddit lol, downvoted for saying people are allowed to be different >

They have every right not to stand. >

caring about who’s sitting is about as dumb as caring about what this ukrainian fella wore >

Holy fucking shit this is flat out witch hunting >

How is that? They did what they did knowing there were cameras there. Clearly they want people to know what they did. If they are proud of their response to Zelensky's speech, how is it a witch hunt to tell people what they did? >

What were their official reason for staying seated, did they say? (I'm curious what type of bullshit they'll make up about Zelensky to explain such a lack of respect) >

Scum does scum stuff. >

Ego Trumps Kindness every time >

They're the same ones trying to destry American democracy. >

The anti-democratic Republicans. >

Obviously, it’s the really stupid ones. >

Ahh yes, the Russian defector traitors. >

Stay classy. Keep showing us all who you really are. MAGA (facepalm) >

Despicable Fwads. >

No collusion !! No collusion!! >

Naturally Republicans have proven they are against democracy. >

No it's just the anti-[whatever the other party supports] stuff >

Screw that white supremacist >

I'm about as far left as you can be and can't understand how y'all think Zelensky is some kind of hero. The US helped install him, he allows open Nazis in his military, he defied the Mengsk accords, he made most other political parties illegal. Every year from at least 2014 to right before the war started, major publications like the NYT an Rolling Stone called Ukraine "the most corrupt country in Europe". But because we can now use them for a proxy war against Russia the American left loves them. Amazing how stupid people are >

How about a list of government officials that love giving away American tax dollars to other countries instead of working on American issues. >

Yeah let us know when the gop has a fix for healthcare, boss 🙄 >

Dems are in control.  They can stop giving money to everyone and come thru with promises. >

List of party members who didn’t clap hard enough during Kim’s speech >

This entire article is dumb. OH NO! Someone didn’t have the exact scripted response that was expected in this exact moment. How about we focus on voting record or something that matters rather than people’s posture?  Seriously, this kind of shit gives me anxiety. >

Why is Meghan McCain’s opinion worth reporting?? Why!?!? >

To follow: full list of Democrats laundering money in Ukraine >

You start. Cite sources, evidence. >

Who cares? One moment democrats are hating on the war in Afghanistan and the next they are openly supporting a proxy war many years later? All the American people want is free healthcare and education. Not billions sent to arm a bunch of slavs in Europe. We've sent them how much money now? Money that could have been spent on American citizens. >

Do you have any idea what would happen if Putin took over Ukraine? The entire area gets destabilized. Europe gets destabilized. It hurts the entire Western world. >


Europe gets destabilized.

Sounds like Europe's problem yet again. >

You don’t think that will have severe consequences for the US? >

Well when you want to influence a neighboring country of one of your biggest rivals, you get what's coming. >

Influencing? How about helping protect against an invasion? Once you bomb a maternity hospital expect other countries to get fucking involved. >

Ah yes US imperialism. Like we got involved in Libya? Syria? Iraq? Afghanistan? Vietnam? Turned out lovely for the American people in all those situations huh? Piss off. >

Good to know you support the bombing of maternity hospitals >

Good to know you support a nazi regime? Should I golf clap for you? >

It’s really scary people actually believe that.
Got a source? Even if they are nazis how does that justify killing children and bombing maternity hospitals? 
You believe the words of Fox News and a dictator. That’s scary. >

Really, how is this an issue?  They didn’t give a standing ovation.  So what?  They don’t agree with his visit and they are morons.  Still, they don’t need to give an ovation if they don’t want to. >

You are right. And they should have no problem being identified as having done so. >

Should be high on the CIAs list >

Never heard of this "Diana Harshbanger" person before... >

I don’t know why I remembered Vietnam
Anyway.. F**k communists >

Just think for a minute. What happens after Russians  surrender. We see that they are incapable of projecting any kind of conventional  military  threat towards NATO.  Weapons manufactures.   Who needs a 1 trillion dollar jet. How many drones can we get for a trillion dollars.
How many unmanned naval drones can we get for the cost of a submarine? Or a  aircraft destroyer ??   War is being disrupted. >

This conflict will be studied for decades, and don't worry, arms manufacturers will find ways to convince us that we need to buy more arms. >

Some idiots are more useful than others.

Is this guy for real? I thought he was cgi this whole time. Crazy movie man >

Full list of Russian assets. >

They’re just like high school bullies, who would have thought? >

Could it be they’re paid by Americans and bought by Russia? >

Those women would piss on American soldiers graves and then wave a war mongering flag of another country around with a smile >

Not for nothing though.. 
Zelenskyy and many of us watching we’re getting annoyed by the excessive clapping that kept killing the momentum of his speech.. Zelenskyy started up front that it was too much, and although I think he was being modest, it was a bit too much at the wrong times. 
I wish the amount of clapping would have been appropriate and not just clapping for everything they agreed with and thus stopping his speech. 
But fuck these asshat GOP shills, their only function is disruption, they’re all insanely unqualified for their positions they were given and it’s embarrassing that these frat boys and girls are in Congress at all…. >

I could have guessed most of that list. The usual Russian sympathizers. Was MTG and Ron Johnson not in attendance? >

Putin sympathizers.
Or agents ... >

I don’t care for either party much anymore but for the money we gave them..does it really matter!? Sit stand, whatever… >

I mean how sad is this though? As a leader of a country who is in war, you go to your ally’s country for a visit and half of the politicians there treat you like this? Like w t f. >

Watched Boebert's video.  It'd help if she could pronounce Zelensky's name.
Maybe if she took all the rubles out of her ears. >

Putin is gettingvhis money’s worth from these Republican sellouts of America. >

Imagine if the democrats did this when Israel showed up. Literal heads would explode. >

Screw the GOP, but to be fair making a big deal out of standing is extremely ableist. >

Look closer to the bottom right quarter of that flag and you will see the  ᛋᛋ  sign >

If Ukraine had fallen, they would sell the whole "Democrats are weak against Putin" and "Putin is scared of Trump" nonsense.
They hope Biden fails and Ukraine falls just so they don't have to defend their lack of support and admit that Dems are probably better at global and military strategizing. >

the war needs to end >

Russia is free to withdraw from Ukraine anytime they want to. >

Maybe Fetterman and his Hoody should have joined Zelensky at the WH for Ice Cream with the President >

That would have been amazing. >

Lol, no.  They'll be remembered as the un-american traitors they and all republicans are. >

Record high inflation, starving Americans, homeless populations through the roof, housing market is trash, the dollar being decimated. Yes, let’s keep funneling money to Ukraine. Having that position doesn’t mean someone supports Russia. Screw them both. Haven’t we learned in the Middle East that not every problem has to be solved by us? >

Lmao!!!, a country which invades and kill people worldwide are kissing the boots of an ex Soviet country which is at war with the eternal enemy.. Russia… and they say there is no such a thing as a free lunch >

People are very blind to propaganda with Ukraine and most people don't realise what is really happening.


Zallenski is practically a dictator as he banned all the large political opposition parties, and made supporting them illegal. 


There have been extensive war crimes on both sides, especially Ukraine and against its own people, why do you think Russia went through the trouble of evacuating citizens in Kherzon. 


The main Ukrainian fighting force is the Azov battalion who are actually real life Nazi's and even have Nazi symbols on their uniform. It's not a good idea to actually arm these guys.


Ukraine has always been there most corrupt nation in Europe, if you think a change of leader has made the corruption go away, then you are beyond delusional.


This is a proxy war sponsored by Biden (maybe it is coincidence that US arms company shares are at an all time high), which was confirmed when Biden announced that Ukraine could bomb Russia, he silenced the squad letter calling for peace and has not stopped provoking the Russians. He even sent in Boris Johnson before the war when the Russians wanted de-escalation talks to prevent the war to say "no". The copious amount of cash being given to the nation with the most corrupt leadership in Europe is in essence a payoff. Funny how many Ukrainian politicians, mafia and other government officials are living so well lately. >

Load of bs lol 🤡🤡 >

Because you want it to be doesn't make it so. Just Google it or post opposing evidence. >

That's not how it works. You made the initial post. That doesn't allow you to post utter bs (which it is) and claim others have to provide counter-evidence. You made the claim, you provide it... >

Nobody gave any evidence. Just a bunch of idiot opinions. >

This is nothing but pro war propaganda. The US doesn’t care about Ukraine, we only care about how we appear to China. >

I'm sure watching Putin look like a dumbass helps as well
