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.
This should be the bigger headline.. these select few specifically showed up just to express their disdain for Ukraine, but it's sad that nearly 40% didn't show up at all >

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* >

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. >

Denny Hastert school of leadership.., >


"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. >

Putins payroll >

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
