Oh wow. So repubs provide Israel with aid but not Ukraine? I bet it has nothing to do with this unholy alliance, this desire to emulate Putin and build a Russia like authoritarian dictatorship in America, right? Sad. Ukraine is on their own until Democrats retake the House.

I think it is very very possible that many of these people, like Tucker, MTG, etc., are on the take from Russia. I also think Putin does have compromising material (kompromat) on Trump. I don't know this. I don't have any evidence of this outside behaviors and them mimicking talking points straight out of the Kremlin... well and Tucker vacationing in Russia during a war the U.S. is on the other side of.

Good post.

If I had to take a guess it’s a combination of all of the above. The NRA was ripe with corrupt rubles. Wouldn’t surprise me if others had become compromised. I don’t think it’s a secret that the GOP, many rich donors, and influential leaders within the evangelical movement view Russia as a blueprint for America. Some want Putin’s help for the 2024 election (Trump obviously). And finally, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the bored arsonists just want to burn the place down. Meaning, they know that the majority of the country supports Ukraine and NATO. So they’re going against the majority of the country. These same folks are the ones who reject vaccines, claim that slavery wasn’t the cause for the civil war, and hate Taylor Swift. Really, the right resembles the late counter culture movement of the left in the 1970s.

I think so as well. Seems to me, when Trump talks about something, brings something up that he’s been accused of, and brings it up a lot, it’s usually an indication that the event, or the “something” in question, is far more likely to be true, than false. Seems like two habits that I think I’ve noted: blame others for activity you yourself commit(the most obvious being blame Biden for stealing the 2020 election, while attempting to steal the 2020 election yourself), call Biden a fascist because you are being called one, to dilute the word. Same with calling Biden anti-democratic, when, in fact, that’s Trump’s characteristic. Dilute the effect of warning Trump is a threat to democracy by claiming Biden is a threat to democracy.

Just my suspicion, really, but does seem to me when he dwells on things that have been said about him, it may in fact be because he knows what’s being said is in fact accurate..

Trump Is Still Obsessed With the ‘Golden Showers’ Rumor

He informed Iowa rallygoers that Melania never believed the Steele dossier’s wildest claim — though nobody asked.

LOL. If ever there was a test for TDS, it would be agreeing with that statement. I think most understand that being accurate or not accurate means nothing to Trump, hence the Big Lie, but what determines Trump dwelling on a thing is if the subject is Trump. He is a narcissist egomaniac who banged a porn star while his mail-order model bride was pregnant. Show me someone who thinks Trump has an out sized sense of shame and I'll show you someone who has lost the plot.

I don't think it's shame I think it's deflection, possibly subconscious.

Fake news is another example. During and right after the 2016 election there were a lot of people talking about fake news websites and Russian bot farm generated buzz about what these sites were saying and they were referring to it as fake news. Trump himself has probably said fake news more than any other human alive and it was not in reference to sham news websites, it was about CNN.

To use the term now does not mean what it meant in 2016. Trump changed the very definition of the term.
 
It’s sad that people alive right now are going to be dead soon all because the GOP wants to block aid to Ukraine to improve Trump’s chances of winning an election. This is so bad for America, our reputation, and our deterrence in the 21st century. If you’re another authoritarian regime, why wouldn’t you invade a neighbor, even if it were an American ally, knowing that you can probably choke out the clock and buy off the GOP?

Decisions like what the GOP is making right now will absolutely have ripple effects for the next century. Most likely, it’ll actually increase our chances of fighting a world war because authoritarians no longer fear American deterrence. If im Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia, or Taiwan, im feeling nervous for what this century is going to bring.

That bill you want to see passed funnels $3 billion dollars to Hamas and effectively ends any enforcement of the southern US border. No one looking at that bill thinks it will become law. It was written solely to get the GOP to vote against it so campaign advertisements can say the GOP voted against things.

It is in Section 615. The funds are labeled as "humanitarian assistance for Gaza".

Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act but prior to the initial 24 obligation of funds made available by this title for humanitarian assistance for Gaza
Click to expand...

There is language in the bill that is supposed to shield the money from going to Hamas so Senators can claim it isn't funding Hamas but it will fund Hamas because all money going in to Gaza funds Hamas and everyone knows it. There is a provision saying monitors have to file a report showing the money being diverted.

a report assessing whether funds appropriated by this title and made available for assistance for the West Bank and Gaza have been diverted by Hamas or other terrorist and extremist entities in the West Bank and Gaza

... but the Senators will be saved from embarrassment because the Hamas diversion report will be classified so it isn't subject to FOIA requests and won't leak to the press.
That such report may be submitted in classified form

Lololololol
You were just being silly I see.

In other news I bought my wife a couple of Valentine's gifts today. Sadly anyone knows that money spent on Valentine's gifts goes directly to ISIS. The deep state in effect

I'm sure ISIS gets so much of your Valentine money that Congress has set up meetings every 90 days to go over how much money ISIS got in the past quarter like they've done in this bill for Hamas.

Exactly. Humanitarian aid for gaza = Hamas funding just like Valentine's Day gift money = ISIS money.

It's like if your teacher said "show your work" and you wrote "well you see there were some numbers and I made several assumptions which I think are very obvious and you have TDS if you disagree so therefore the answer is 4." thinking that actually qualified as showing your work.

Ya I mean all he needed to do was show me the part in the bill that says money is being given to HAMAS.

If the bill says there is money provided for humanitarian aid in gaza then that is what it is for. Not hamas.

It’s interesting that Tucker isn’t going to ask Putin any tough questions about his regime. He’ll continue to fluff him. I guess being rejected by CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News really makes you go crazy. The fear of becoming irrelevant makes people do just terrible things.

He’s a useful idiot for Putin
