no Republicans were invited
So? Why would they invite the assholes trying to sabotage everything? Putin wasn't invited either.
"We don't invite Russian assets" QED
I do enjoy every opportunity I get where my brain gets to say the words quod erat demonstrandum.
They act like babies and then clutch their pearls when not allowed at the adukt table. Same people who rail against benefits but go back to their states and take credit for any improvements. Gross people all around.
I first didn't think much of it, but now I am realizing that this visit shows how Republicans lie that Biden is just dropping pallets off dollar bills into Ukraine, when in reality majority of it actually stays within US, creating jobs, and apart from artillery shells majority of production is to replenish US stocks, because we are giving Ukraine equipment that was close to expire.
This lie being exposed is the real reason why Mike is upset.
Also the Democrats who were there are currently in office one being the Governor. It's his job to meet with diplomats sometimes and do that kind of stuff so wtf.
He's still upset Zelenskyy didn't falsify evidence about Hunter Biden for him.
And then told congress about the attempted extortion, which got Trump impeached for election interference
"official presidential duties"
"Perfect phone call."
Okay, I might be oversimplifying a bit here, but is the speaker of the house escalating global tensions simply because he wasn't invited to a party?
I highly doubt it because he's got to he accustomed to that this late in his sad life.
Amongst all of the Republican insanity of recent years, the thing that definitely stands out to me the most, as the weirdest, is their slavish subservience to Putin.
I understand it from an extremely cynical point of view, but still, it's just so weird snd so directly contrary to everything they've ever claimed to stand for. It's hypocrisy and malfeasance and amorality and pathetic subservience all rolled into one and cranked up to 11.
We don't call him Moscow Mitch for nothing
Must be the hate of being held to answer and to laws that putin doesn't have.
I mean otherwise Russia is just a shithole country.
Not everything is about our fucking election. One side wants to continue funding Ukraine and the other side ~~wants Russia to win~~ wants to stop funding. What does that have to do with the election? Where was this talk when Trump, not even an elected official, had Viktor Orbán over?
Nobody complained about Orban because nobody likes Orban.
Trump's also an ex president, unfortunately.
Forever stain on the USA
Agreed
Jesus christ everything is election interference for them. Jesus himself could came back and praise Bill Clinton and they'd claim that's election interference
Of course! He was a dark skinned, long haired immigrant who talked about being decent to each other and how being rich was wrong.
Can't have that in Murrica!
Oh they'd crucify that dude all over again.
Zelensky is the better man.
“lol no”
Go jerk off with your son Mike Johnson.
So they’re traitors AND cry babies.
Watching our senators and congresspersons in how they respond to Ukraine and simultaneously how they respond to Israel is absolutely sickening. We're not Russia but it seems like our representatives want us to be just as authoritarian, just as ruthless, just as disconnected from reality. I know it's not the whole of the house, but the bad apples are the loudest.
Ironically,.not many people would've known about this. Now they do and hiis behaviour paints the Republican Party poorly. it is such a very normal and inconspicuous thing,.and then he does this,.making me wonder wtf is up with him and that party.
"I could fire him, but I'm going to need you to do us a favor."
They could have a cage fight to work it out. I know who my money is on.
