The Republicans Who Voted Against Aid For Ukraine

Posted By Rod Kaufman

The usual suspects: Lauren Boebert, MArjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Madison Cawthorn, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Louie Gomert, Paul Gosar, among others:

And their rationale? There's a shortage of baby formula in the USA! Er, ah, they omit the fact that it's due to a recall by a major manufacturer of it but that's now being corrected. 
Thankfully the bill passed and goes to the senate where it will be presumably passed. But the right wing extremists, of which there are many, are tacitly supporting Putin in his war in Ukraine when they pull a political stunt like this. If you're a con, do you support the them, their policies or both?

As more of these cases approach the courts, expect more of the same as bogus claims of voter fraud dissolve under reality...
And in Colorado today, a judge stated, ""The Trump Campaign continues to take the position that the election was the result of fraud but has presented absolutely no facts in support of that claim,..."

What happens when the Democrats in the Senate don't get their way.

Posted By Rod Kaufman

What happened last night was the senate quashing democracy wherein the representation of the 30%, if that, of those who oppose abortion rights trumped the 70% majority of those that do. How does that happen? It happens because states like Wyoming, with a population of 700,000 or so have the same representation in the senate like California that has FORTY MILLION people. So the tyranny of the minority prevailed last night. And once Alito's ludicrous argument that abortion isn't a enumerated right in the constitution prevails, then any right that the righteous right doesn't like that isn't enumerated in the constitution becomes a potential target of their vindictive wrath since Alito's opinion will be a precedent that the mighty righties will pound that table over while simultaneously forgetting about the precedent behind Roe Vs Wade,  much in the same manner the conservative justices forgot about what they told congress about precedent during their confirmation hearings. Enumerated rights in the constitution? Since when did that become the gold standard? We don't have enumerated rights to vote, marry, cross state lines or have a right to privacy enumerated in the constitution. So, whenever and wherever the cons don't like something, a right that you may take for granted goes out the window when it gets to the courts...

Yeah, just a bit, not only because of democracy being upended in the senate but also because Margie Taylor Greene used $92,000 in campaign donations to buy herself a luxury SUV:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnAiWYp7vnw

You know Mel, things like Inflation being the highest it has ever been in 40 years.  

Things like Gasoline being at the highest cost in the United States that it has ever been since the Inception of this country.

His hysterical rants keeps the spotlight off of issues like the border, whereby the Joe Biden psychotic America Last gov't is providing baby formula to illegal aliens while simply giving the finger to ALL other American Mothers who need it desperately, you know American Citizens.

Because for this psychotic bunch of fools in charge, American Citizens' problems come last behind illegal aliens, while they make sure that those illegal aliens have as many helpful needs as possible.

To hell with American mothers.

It keeps the spotlight off the FACT that Joe Biden's administration Press Secretary URGED criminals to break the law and picket and protest outside of United States Supreme Court Justices's Home, a Felony violation of 18 US Code 1507

Jen Psaki the sicko Biden flunkie said this : "“I know there’s an outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date. And we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges’ homes and that’s the president’s position,” Ms. Psaki said at the White House press briefing.

It matters not whether the protests are "peaceful" because the law doesn't permit "peaceful" protests.

Not to mention the fact that Democrats consider burning down buildings while protesting to be "mainly peaceful".

She's a disgrace, and here successor is even worse, IF that is possible.  
Rich's and the righteous right's outrage and hypocrisy knows no bounds, as usual. 
From the party that screams about the rights of the newborns, the fact that some babies at the border of the mothers that have been detained have access to a pre-existing supply of baby formula isn't palatable because the babies are illegal? If the babies were born on the US side of the border during detention, making them US citizens at birth, does that then make it kosher?
Next, let's add the outrage over the protests in front of judge's residences which also applies to courts which results from a law passed in 1950 regarding protests over supposed communist sympathizers so now it can be applied here and perhaps to " it could also be read to cover the annual anti-abortion march that concludes at the Supreme Court's grounds, which is a point some law enforcement officials have noted when asked about the protests outside justices' residences." Looks like we need to haul them away in the paddy wagon, too!

I think we ought to look at the supreme courts justices as well for potential perjury charges for lying, under oath to congress, about their positions on precedents in general and on Roe Vs Wade, in particular...

Here's what happens when anti-masker/anti-vaxxer Rand Paul deliberately obstructs the Urkarian arms aid package that was unanimously passed in the senate:
Ukrainians will DIE.
The delay of about a week ostensibly over RAND PAUL'S desire to have direct US oversight of our arms to the Ukrainian army will undoubtedly cost Ukrainians losses in their armed forces as well as in the civilian population.  
https://news.yahoo.com/sen-rand-paul-r-ky-202508874.html
If Rand Paul wants that kind of direct oversight, I suggest he go to the front himself and bring the following Republicans with him: Marjorie Taylor Greene,"Louie" Gohmert, Paul Gossar, Lauren Boebert, Jim Jordan and any others in the Republican party that oppose our military aid to Ukraine. I think he should also have a citizens oversight committee with them at the front; may I suggest Rich Davis, Greg Schaeffer and Stephen Moore?
