What exactly does that mean? He's going to co-sponsor... does that actually do anything?

Republicans proving they're too dysfunctional to legislate is Biden's fault.

Count on it.

Ok, I read up on this. Empty G filed a resolution to boot the Speaker three weeks ago. This essentially does nothing unless/until the House votes on it.

She can ask for a vote any time she wants to, and they have to take it up within 2 days.

Doesn't sound like she needs any help with "her efforts to oust Speaker Mike Johnson". Call for the vote. Easy peasy.

She might be a bit hesitant though, since such a vote might just get shoved up her ass.

Maybe he should stop wasting billions of dollars in Ukraine

@#5 ... Maybe he should stop wasting billions of dollars in Ukraine ...

Maybe he should listen to a democracy-supporting majority, instead of a democracy-hating minority.

Republicans are 100% pro war with Palestine and Iran.

But, 100% opposed to helping the Ukraine defend itself against Russia.

Putin really did brainwash conservatives into supporting him.

It's pretty impressive to see the results of a couple decades of propaganda in action.

"But, 100% opposed to helping the Ukraine defend itself against Russia."

It's not in the Bible or Torah.

The only thing a significant portion of them
will settle for, is Obstruction.

This is the modern GOP, shaped by Mitch McConnell
and others, whose motto is 'No progress, is progress...'

Not my monkeys, not my circus, not my party...

Clown...

It's called money Clown, pure and simple.
Sure Putin got to the idiots like Boobert and MSG...
but to the rest, it's because of the money,
and the promise of power that would follow.

corrupt, corrupt, corrupt.

Almost 90 percent of funds Congress approves for Ukraine military aid is being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace ones sent ...

Are you a freakin commie?

Best foreign policy investment Americans have ever made. Degrading the Russian military saving millions of lives and forestalling World War III (given Putin's imperial ambitions) as well as the diplomatic and national security value of this aid makes the U.S. the single biggest winner ever in this conflict.

But if you Trumpers can't win anymore than you will make sure nobody can, huh?

Because Propaganda Werks!

Especially on maga maroons. Apparently.

Check out antisocialmedia on Netflix (if you haven't)

It's details how "memes of mayhem" started the whole thing from 2chan to 4chan and gamergate all the way up to Jan 6th.

Apparently a certain percentage of us are highly susceptible to be influenced/corrupted/confused by this new technology and form of communication. Like a brain virus.

It didn't even really take that long. Most of these people hated Russia until Putin helped Trump win and Trump started gargling Putin's sack.
