You know, far be it from me to tell the FBI and the NSA how to do their jobs, but maybe, like, they should be investigated.
(who am I kidding. Feebs. do your fucking jobs and arrest these traitors.)
I’m pretty sure Marge is the Capitol pipe bomber, so they should probably have a discerning look at that while they’re at it.
I’m not sure there’s enough evidence to support the idea that MTG is the culprit, but boy does my heart flutter on the wind of a song at the idea of her getting caught somehow and having a meltdown as she is dragged away to jail.
There was a sting the FBI ran years ago that caught a bunch of politicians red handed, good times.
That disgusting hate-filled creature MTG just has to be on the moral wrong side of absolutely everything, doesn't she?
I would posit she's an AI creation of the worst congressperson possible, but AI isn't good enough to get things wrong/right that consistently. She's a miracle of abhorrent nature to be this wrong this often.
When hallucinations become the wanted output
Ah yes, the pro-child-trafficking wing of the Republican party.
"Family values" on display again.
Am I allowed to call them traitors as a Canadian?
They're traitors to democracy, so yes.
More like traitors to humanity. Who the fuck is pro child abduction? And what kind of idiots still vote for those abominations?
Those 9 dick wagons, that's who.
Also Putin, his sycophants, and the dictators and wannabe dictators like them
And therefore the world, as is tradition.
I can understand not voting, but to vote against. That’s wild.
Gotta keep those dollars flowing.
Lobbying is just basically legalized bribery and the fact all of theirs comes from Russia, this should be no suprise.
wonder how its coming in from Russia now that the NRA funnels been cut off... supposedly
These 9 ~~House Republicans~~ Russian Assets, voted against a resolution condemning the Russian abduction of Ukrainian children.
There fixed it.
Condemning the Russians committing the warcrime of genocide by abducting Ukranian children.
Any overlap with them and the officials who went to Russia on the 4th of July?
Ugh. Warren Davidson of Ohio. I know people in his district. He’s a shithead. Took over for John Boehner, and carried Boehner’s tradition of being the second-shittiest Rep from Ohio, after Jim Jordan of course.
Remember when we thought John Boehner was the most orange shithead in the Republican party? And then Trump was like, "hold my Adderall."
What's their reasoning though?
I think it goes something like this: "If I vote against Russia's interests, Putin might release some of the abundant kompromat he has on me."
Ju$t feel$ right.
To prove to the other Republicans that their voters don't care at all, they can just do whatever they want and will still get re-elected.
I tried checking their Facebooks but none had mentioned this bill.
Thats because Republicans are pedophiles and child traffickers and they tell us every day
That's why they're anti abortion - need to keep supply up to keep costs down
There's certain votes where we should just flush the nay's down the toilet. This is one of those.
Not a single brain cell amongst them.
I found it hard to recognize this woman in this photo. She is usually hollering like a wild monkey while harassing other religions or children victims of school shootings. This one is a different expression for sure.
Greene is the only one on that list that I expected to see. I'm shocked that only 1 name I expected to see is there.
Guess Gaetz was busy, giving a deposition. Or shopping in Russia.
I expected to see Andy Biggs on there, he's a piece of shit.
Marjorie Taylor Greene? Say it ain’t so!
Check their bank records. We’ve found out who’s on the take.
I bet you'd find Russian money in the accounts of a lot more Republicans than these 9.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Tuesday, the House overwhelmingly passed a resolution to condemn Russia's abduction of Ukrainian children in the two years since the war began.
Sponsored by Democratic Rep. Susan Wild of Pennsylvania, the resolution holds the Russian government "responsible for the wrongful and illegal kidnapping of children from Ukraine" and states that doing so "amounts to genocide."
Since the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, thousands of children have been abducted and taken into Russia, and it's unclear what's happening to them.
The Republican votes against the resolution come as most of the party has gradually turned against providing further US military aid to the besieged eastern European country.
Most Republican senators voted against a $93.5 billion aid package that includes more than $60 billion for the Ukraine war effort, and House Speaker Mike Johnson has thus far refused to hold a vote on the package, in part owing to fears that doing so could turn hard-right Republicans in his own conference against him.
Meanwhile, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has promoted Russia's image via a recent trip to Moscow, including an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin that even some GOP lawmakers tuned into.
