The Republican Party is committed to tearing America apart by pitting us against each other. Why would they do this? Here is a clue: 63 Republicans voted this week against a resolution in support of NATO.



Putin runs rigged elections and the GOP is openly working to rig elections in over 20 states.
Putin trash-talks LGBTQ people and the GOP has put homophobia at the center of their 2022 electoral strategy.
Putin embraces white nationalism in Russia, just as the GOP does here.
Putin has “actively cultivated neo-Nazism” both in Russia and “in the United States” while the GOP lionizes Kyle Rittenhouse and embraces American neo-Nazi movements.
Putin has contempt for the rule of law while the GOP embraces people who tried to overthrow the government of the United States.
Putin put so much money into the NRA that they’d become, as NPR described the result of the Senate investigation, a “Foreign Asset To Russia Ahead of 2016,” shoveling cash and support to Republican candidates.
Putin frequently lies to his people about things that are easily disproven … the same as Trumpy Republicans do on an almost daily basis.
Putin shuts down independent news media, while Trump and some Republicans call media in the US “the enemy of the people.”
Putin attacks science in Russia as Republicans do here in the US.
Putin promotes a muscular “Christianity” through corrupt preachers who openly defy the teachings of Jesus, as does the GOP.
Putin’s politicians are funded by rightwing oligarchs, just like Republican politicians are here.
Putin hates “liberals” and civil rights protestors, just like the GOP – which has gone so far as to legalize running them down with cars.

Republicans are increasingly voting with Putin because they hope to turn America into something that looks and works very much like Putin’s Russia. It is very comfortable for the morbidly rich oligarchs and their wholly-owned politicians as well.

And to put the frosting on the proverbial cake, CNN is reporting this just happened in the U.S. House of Representatives: Six GOP House members voted against a bill that would require the State Department to report and preserve evidence of war crimes committed by Russian forces in Ukraine. Tom Massie (KY), Scott Perry (PA), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), Warren Davidson (OH), Andy Biggs (AZ), and Paul Gosar (AZ).

This move toward autocracy in the GOP is the biggest threat our democracy faces today.

This piece is so full of BS I don't know whether to even bother typing a reply.

Why would 63 Republican members of Congress seemingly join with Koch and Halliburton in refusing to go along with censuring Russia?

Perry said in an email to USA TODAY that "Americans deserve to be fully informed on what
this bill says and does, and not be guided solely by the flashy title," and "by legitimizing the
ICC, of which the US is not a member, we risk additional investigations, prosecutions, and
even imprisonment of American Troops who have sacrificed for our Nation."

Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(1) reaffirms its unequivocal support for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as an
alliance founded on democratic principles;

(2) urges NATO to continue to provide unwavering support to the people of Ukraine as they fight
for their sovereignty, territorial integrity, and a democratic future;

(3) calls on the President to use the voice and vote of the United States to adopt a new Strategic
Concept for NATO that is clear about its support for shared democratic values and committed to
enhancing NATO’s capacity to strengthen democratic institutions within NATO member, partner,
and aspirant countries; and

(4) calls on the President to use the voice and vote of the United States to establish a Center for
Democratic Resilience within NATO headquarters.

First sentence is bullcrap.


In other words, this bill is not about Russia.  It's about giving the ICC the power to gather evidence and charge ANYONE (including US troops) with war crimes.

Your sentence completely left out WHO those reports and evidence would be given to.  They would be given to an international agency, not one governed in the US.

Second sentence is also Bullcrap.

Only a Liberal would be pissed that a NON-BINDING RESOLUTION that does absolutely nothing PASSED.  They are pissed because it didn't pass unanimously.  The vote was 362 to 63.

As resolutions go, this one was a complete waste of tax-funded government employees' time. 

And the resolution did not "censure" Russia.   That's a complete lie.

Here's the complete text of what was "resolved" by the House members:

The ONLY reason this resolution exists is so Democrats can spin it against those Republicans campaigning this year.

I think their time might be better spent on the economy, the border, the immigration system, crime, etc, etc, etc, ...

Like we could even attempt to "censure Russia!"
