The GOP Congressional Reps Who Voted Against Russian Sanctions

Posted By Rod Kaufman

First, consider the rationale of one of those voting against sanctions:
Marjorie Taylor Greene:
“If we truly care about suffering and death on our television screens, we cannot fund more of it by sending money and weaponry to Ukraine to fight a war they cannot possibly win,"
The eight GOP "no" votes were Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Dan Bishop (N.C.), Glenn Grothman (Wis.) and Chip Roy (Texas).

Additionally, senate Republicans who voted against funding military aid to Ukraine include Tom Cotton and company:

Let's see now, how many cons do we have here that go along with the rationale of Marjorie Taylor Greene or go along with the votes of the Republicans in either in the house or in the senate?

Debate Over Poland's MIG 29s Intensifies...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"The MiG-29s are outdated, he said, and would likely fall quick prey to Russia’s superior jets and surface-to-air missiles."
“Ukraine has jet fighters now, they're not using them. In fact, all they're doing is moving them around to make sure they don't get taken out,” he said.
“It would not be a particularly effective platform, and it would have some risk of escalating the conflict,” he continued. “Do the math, it's not the right decision to make at this point.”
But: "even those lawmakers conceding that the MiG-29s are not the ideal weapon in the current fight still want to see them transferred to Ukrainian forces."

Neither Joe Biden or Hunter Biden denied Hunter had a laptop. They denied the sensationalist inferences about it specific to Ukraine connections for nefarious reasons. Nothing has been uncovered that demonstrates any evidence of the latter. Politico notes that Russian disinformation may have been added to the emails on the laptop.
And, if Senator Ron Johnson gets his way, we're off to another Hillary's emails escapade but this time, it'll be about Hunter BIDEN'S emails...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you guys try the bullshit "It was Russian Disinformation" crap before?

You're now going to regurgitate that pathetic excuse?

Yeah, that makes perfect sense doesn't it.

First, the laptop wasn't Hunter Biden's..  Then when that Bullshit failed, they're saying "oh yes, it turns out that it really is Hunter Biden's laptop".

GEE?? 

I thought that Facebook and Twitter told the world that anyone who suggested it WAS Hunter Biden's laptop was spreading "Dis or Mis Information" and they had to be removed from any information dispensing?

Wasn't that your side's standard line, to cover up the fact that it was his laptop?  

So then now you KNOW that Russians put disinformation IN the laptop?  Is that your lame excuse?

Well then WHEN precisely did the Russian Disinformation get put INTO the laptop?  

WHEN did that occur?  Did that occur when Hunter Biden had it in HIS Possession?  How did Russian Disinformation get IN the laptop?

Did Russians break into the store where the laptop was being repaired and did the Russians INSERT the disinformation into the computer at that time?

Did Russians co-opt the Justice Dep't and put in the disinformation INTO the laptop when it was in possession of the Feds?  

Do you know personally these Russian spies that you claim PUT DISINFORMATION into the laptop?  

Are they friends of Yours??

In fact, are YOU a Russian spy?  Is your REAL Name Ivan Kauv-Man??   

These nefarious Russians sure are a convenient excuse for virtually everything that goes on in your leftist world aren't they??

I mean, first Trump was Colluding with Russians to overturn the election.  

Then when Bob Mueller stated there was no Russian Collusion between Trump and Putin or the Russians, then Bob Mueller was wrong.  

He didn't spend enough time looking into it, right?

Then your side's story was that Bob Mueller is covering up.  

Then we found out Hilary paid for the fabrication of the Dossier and the main author, telling us that he just "yanked things off the internet that he read and just put them in the Dossier".

That was testified to By Christopher Steele.  

Then 60 minutes told the world that they couldn't verify Hunter Biden's laptop story, with Leslie Stall saying that to Trump during his interview, claiming that was why they couldn't report it..

Gee, they COULD report over and over about Trump's supposed Conspiracy to link up with Putin to overturn the election.

THAT, 60 minutes had no problem reporting on, however 60 Minutes had way too much honesty and integrity to make any claims about the Hunter Biden laptop.

They couldn't report on that, but they had NO Problem spreading the bullshit contained in the Dossier paid for by Hilary Clinton.  
Hillary paid for the "fabrication of the Dossier"?  And you have her cancelled check for that, do you? 
And here I thought we were talking about Hunter Biden's laptop and the upcoming GOP agenda. We don't see Hillary in that it, now do we?
Perhaps you and Melvin could be called on to testify as expert witnesses along with your above statements; I'm sure both of you will be quite taken quite seriously...

What exactly is that info, Mel? Other than reportedly confirming that there were some emails on a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, what exactly was disclosed?

I don't see how the NYT is saying they're seeing it differently now. What I see is they've seen some emails that they believe have come from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden. So again, Mel, what exactly is nature and extent of that reporting?

I see Davis wants to divert the thread to Hillary and the Steele dossier, a large portion of which, is in fact, accurate. Stiil, it doesn't figure into the GOP agenda for 2022 which is the present matter of discussion. I do, however, recall multiple investigations by the GOP into Hillary and Benghazi and multiple claims about her emails from Donald John Trump and various claims about the Seele dossier which went nowhere. Maybe Davis can have them added to the proposed GOP agenda again. Good luck with that...

Good luck with your Bullshit denying that the Steele Dossier was fabricated by a Russian whom Hilary's camp roundaboutly paid via paying Christopher Steele who admitted in court that the Russian guy just pulled Bullshit off the interent and put in the Dossier.

Good luck with defending The corrupt Comey FBI who told the court they couldn't ever verify the information in the Dossier, and then USED that unverifiable bullshit and lies put forth in the Dossier to secure FISA warrants, violating every tenet of the standards required when they perjured themselves to the FISA court, in their documentation saying that the information in the Dossier WAS verified.

Good luck with all your bullshit, denials, and lies.  
"The conservative news website The Washington Free Beacon says during the 2016 campaign it first hired the firm that later produced a dossier of unsubstantiated information about Donald Trump's Russia ties."
"The political research firm, Fusion GPS, commissioned former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who went on to produce what's been called the "Steele dossier."
"Earlier this week The Washington Post reported that after initially being hired by Trump's Republican primary opponents, Fusion GPS continued its work, but for Democrats"
"News reports have supported "one aspect of the dossier — Trump loyalists did have contacts with Russians during the campaign," NPR's Ryan Lucas says."
