What government?  The one they want to drown in a bathtub unless it helps their filching?
Far right Republicans are also traitors to the US so it’s not surprising >

Yep. They're on Russian payroll, just like Tucker Carlson. >

Considering the wide support for ukraine amongst republicans, how is this not tanking Tucker? >

I can think of one small caveat, the Ukraine war falls right in line with the Reagan Republican philosophy dealing with the Russian system. I suggest the Biden team is playing a serious  game of chess and the Republicans can’t find their damn checkers board. Reagan must be rolling in his grave right now! >

Dude fuck our political divides, helping Ukraine helps us. Kinda like how treating an international pandemic seriously helps us. >

Unfortunately there's too many people in the US who view being decent human beings as the worst thing imaginable and not only that, they also wanna make the lives of those that do want to be decent human beings miserable so that they too are no longer decent human beings. >

Those people have a name.  They call themselves evangelical Christians. >

No Evangelical Christians are bad almost exclusively because they have been brainwashed into a us vs them tribalism. The same tribalism your brandishing about now, people can be narcissistic, vindictive, assholes no matter what ideology they hide behind. Using generalization leads us all down the assumptive rabbit hole of racism, misogyny, and hate that turns individuals into groups into problems. Dehumanizing one another solves nothing and just picks up the tools of the people we are denouncing. >

Some key excerpts from the article:

Fewer than half of House Republicans bothered to show up, and some of them spent much of the speech on their phones. 
Reps. Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert spent part of the speech glued to their phones and barely paying attention. Several others remained seated for many of the portions of the speech where Zelenskyy received standing ovations, and more didn’t attend the speech at all.
One, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, tweeted prior to the address that he was intentionally missing it while dismissing Ukraine’s war effort. “I’m in DC but I will not be attending the speech of the Ukrainian lobbyist,” Massie said.
In all, roughly 90 House Republicans out of 213—fewer than half—bothered to attend the speech, according to CQ Roll Call. 
But even before Zelenskyy’s speech, the hardline conservatives in the House were downplaying the Ukrainian president’s visit. “Of course the shadow president has to come to Congress and explain why he needs billions of American’s taxpayer dollars for the 51st state, Ukraine,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who also did not attend the speech, tweeted Wednesday morning.
Zelenskyy received several standing ovations during the speech, but Boebert and Gaetz weren’t the only ones who largely remained seated. Reps. Jim Jordan, Andrew Clyde, and more repeatedly stayed in their seats while their colleagues around them jumped to their feet to applaud Zelenskyy, according to Axios. 
At one point, Clyde, a George Republican, refused to stand even when encouraged by Jordan. >

Republicans are clearly not interested in being a part of the government outside of the part that makes them money and gives them influence. If my representative pulled this shit he would lose my vote instantly >


Republicans are clearly not interested in being a part of the government...

You're right. They don't want to be a part of the government; they want to be the government.
