Gaetz said they should focus on domestic issues instead, like republicans care about domestic issues
He also said Russia should join NATO. He's a smart one!
Does he not know that NATO was created to counter the threat of the USSR?
Ribbit
Is forcing women to give birth a domestic issue?
Yes tax cuts for the wealthy
Oh and don’t forget about oppressing women. That’s a huge domestic priority for them!
Never thought conservatives would be in putins pocket, but here we are.
If you ever have time, compare the things the american right is proposing with the things that get passed into the russian law. The overlap is actually surprising, just instead of "traditional western values" it's "traditional slavic values".
...Really? Republican and Russian kleptocrat values align perfectly, so why wouldn't they be allies?
How long till we find out at least 50 of them have accepted money or gifts from rich and powerful Russians? I'm guessing at most 2 weeks.
How long until they face any consequences for it. I'm guessing never.
Wtf is with the massive influx of right wing losers/ troll farm accounts on this thread. I've never seen this many on lemmy before
It's a fantastic honeypot. I blocked a couple dozen trolls and went about my day to a cleaner Lemmy experience. 👍
I think most of them are actually tankies, which lemmy unfortunately are rife with. Their behaviour and opinions, especially on Putin's Ukrainian invasion, are completely indistinguishable from the right winger's opinions on the matter.
Which is unsurprising, since both groups uncritically just regurgitate Russian talking points on the subject.
school is out so the edgy teens need a place to congregate
tldr - its exactly the people you expect

Gaetz looks like Jack Nicholson with a chromosomal deletion syndrome.
Say it the right way:
These are the 70 treasonous House Republicans who are in the pocket of Putin.
My entire life republicans have done nothing but evil, and they will never stop getting votes. I will go to my grave not understanding.
Aren't they usually pro war? Isn't that aid helping the military industrial complex?
They’re anti whatever democrats are doing
Not just Democrats. Anyone who isn't part of their particular tribe, including most of the GOP.
I am from this vodka state so I may be biased, but as I see it, some republicans don't really care about this issue and pick that position only to be contrarian and farm votes on 'anything against dems'-train. They aren't clever, really. Russia does benefit from it and probably encourage that with it's money, but for republicans it's not about Ukraine, Russia or anything, it's about owning the dems and getting into the office. And some of them probe even this edgy position.
Remember folks: Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 Putin must held responsible for his crimes
how many votes to keep the aid?
358, of which there are 209 dem and 149 rep votes.
