Vicariously, Vladimir Putin is House Speaker these days. 😡
Why do MAGA Republicans hate freedom?

'Sleepwalking into dictatorship': Trump warnings spook America
If somebody promises he's going to be a dictator, believe him.
Register and vote – and make sure every like minded citizen you know does the same. Remember that voter registration is geographic: if you've moved since the last election (even just next door) you need to register at your new address.

Sadly, it's no joke. Commentators on Russia's state-run TV really are delighted with Republicans.
This is from journalist Julia Davis's Russia Media Monitor. Ms. Davis watches and translates Russian media so that we don't have to.

Ronald Reagan would be sad that his party has become the biggest cheerleader of the Evil Empire in the US.
Republicans hate freedom and they see a friend in Putin.
Republicans helping Russia by denying Ukraine aid, Biden says
One thing Putin's TV marionettes aren't reporting is the price that Russia is paying so that he can think of himself as the 21st century Peter the Great.
Russia has lost 87% of troops it had prior to start of Ukraine war, according to US intelligence assessment
If you don't have a VPN or even an old shortwave radio in Russia than all the news you get is from Putin's lickspittles on state TV and internet.
The bottom line is that Putin's four day (or was it three day?) "special operation" is now in Day 659. Russia has lost more troops in Ukraine than in all its wars from 1946 to 2021. Snowflake Republicans want to betray Ukraine and throw Putin a lifeline when we should be throwing him a large anchor.

It isn't just liberals who claim that House Republicans are in Putin's pocket.
Conservative Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN-02) told the host of a rightwing podcast that some of his House colleagues have been compromised by the Kremlin.
A Republican Tennessee congressman accused his colleagues of being “compromised” by Russian spies and moneyed interests, who bed and then blackmail them to sway their votes. [ ... ] “The old honeypot,” the conservative representative, continued. “The Russians do that, and I’m sure members of Congress have been caught up. Why in the world would good conservatives vote for crazy stuff like what we’ve been seeing out of Congress?” [ ... ] “You’re visiting, you’re out of the country, you’re out of town, or you’re in a motel, or bar in D.C., and some — whatever you’re into, women or men or whatever — comes up and they’re very attractive and they’re laughing at your jokes, and you’re buying them a drink,” he explained. “Next thing you know, you’re in the motel room with them naked.” “And next thing you know, you’re about to make a key vote and what happens? Some well dressed person comes out and whispers in your ear, ‘Hey, man, there’s tapes out on you,’ or ‘Were you in a motel room on whatever [date] with whoever?’” Then comes the suggestion that “you really ought not be voting for this thing,” Burchett said.
So there are probably the equivalents of the famous "pee tapes" for members of the House GOP caucus.
Speaking of Donald Trump...
Putin ‘has Trump’s number’ and still sees him ‘as an asset’, says Fiona Hill
Vladimir Putin has had Donald Trump’s “number for some time … knows how to manipulate him” and still sees him “as an asset”, the former White House Russia expert Fiona Hill said, discussing the Russian leader and the Republican presidential frontrunner. “That’s literally [Putin’s] trump card,” Hill told the One Decision Podcast, hosted by Jane Ferguson, a reporter, and Sir Richard Dearlove, a former head of MI6, when asked if she thought the Russian president, bogged down in war in Ukraine, was betting on Trump beating Joe Biden next year and returning to power. Hill added: “The anticipation that Trump’s going to come back is something for Putin of a boon … he can play with that. He can use it as kind of a warning … scare the Ukrainians, the Europeans, the rest of the world. Putin is pretty confident, given his experiences with Trump in the past, that Trump will be quick to try to resolve the … war in Ukraine in his favor. “And, you know, obviously, Putin has had Trump’s number for some time, he knows how to manipulate him … he has been very good at the art of flattery with Trump. He sees Trump as an asset in many respects.” From 2017 to 2019 Hill was a senior national security aide in the Trump White House, eventually coming under the spotlight as a witness in Trump’s first impeachment, for seeking to blackmail Ukraine for dirt on political rivals. In 2013, she published Mr Putin: Operative in the Kremlin, a widely praised study.
Trump has done little to hide his Putin connection since 2015. Yet tens of millions of American voters can't wait to cast their votes for a Russian asset.
The Republican Party is apparently riddled with office holders doing Russia's bidding – either through blackmail or through manipulation.
The 2024 election is the clearest ever between American democracy and foreign totalitarianism. We should not take the outcome for granted.

It's not exactly news that Republicans are regurgitating Russian propaganda. The leader of the GOP is himself a Russian asset.
The new twist is that at least a few Republicans are starting to bring this up in public.
GOP Rep. Mike Turner said Sunday that Russian propaganda has taken hold among some of his House Republican colleagues and is even "being uttered on the House floor." "We see directly coming from Russia ... communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor," Turner, chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union." "There are members of Congress today who still incorrectly say that this conflict between Russia and Ukraine is over NATO, which of course it is not," he added.
Yes, Republicans are spreading Russian propaganda on the floor of the House. And Rep. Turner is not the only one who has called this out.
His comments come on the heels of remarks House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul made this week about how Russian propaganda has taken root among the GOP. McCaul, a Texas Republican, told Puck News that he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base." Turner and McCaul each tied Russia and its leader, Vladimir Putin, to other authoritarian leaders, including President Xi Jinping of China and Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea. "[The propaganda] makes it more difficult for us to really see this as an authoritarian versus democracy battle, which is what it is," Turner told CNN, adding, "President Xi of China, Vladimir Putin himself have identified as such." McCaul described explaining to colleagues that the threat of Russian propaganda is similar to threats made by other U.S. adversaries. "I have to explain to them what’s at stake, why Ukraine is in our national security interest," he said. "By the way, you don’t like Communist China? Well, guess what? They’re aligned [with Russia], along with the ayatollah [of Iran]. So when you explain it that way, they kind of start understanding it."
It's all good of Michael McCaul and Mike Turner to call this out. But what are they doing to get badly needed aid to Ukraine? They need to show that they are more than just do-nothing passive observers.
Last week, Rep. Don Bacon said on NBC News' "Meet the Press" that he had commitments from Johnson and McCaul that they would allow a bipartisan Ukraine military aid package to advance to a vote. Rep. French Hill echoed this point on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday morning, saying he believes Johnson will bring Ukraine aid to the floor "immediately after completing the work on [the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] and FISA's extension — that deadline of April 19 makes it a priority for the first few days we're back." "I believe he's fully committed to bringing it up to the floor immediately thereafter," Hill added. But Bacon, R-Neb., also warned that Johnson could face a vote to oust him from the speakership if he moves forward with Ukraine aid.
With a tiny majority and Marjorie Taylor Greene nipping at his heels, Speaker "MAGA Mike" Johnson is in a weak position. House members not wanting to make the US a vassal state of Vladimir Putin need to take advantage of this weakness.
If you live in the districts of these representatives, contact them and urge them to back uo their words with some action on aid for Ukraine.
Mike Turner (OH-10) Michael McCaul (TX-10) French Hill (AR-02) Don Bacon (NE-02)

If Republicans like dictators so much, why don't they just eliminate the middle man and write in Putin?
Ronald Reagan's party has been taken over by the Evil Empire.
Tumblr media
They are openly professing their loyalty to Russia at Trump rallies.
Tumblr media
^^^ Those two Trump-Putin zombies will certainly be voting Republican this year. To neutralize their votes, we need to Vote American (Vote Democratic) in large numbers.

Q: What's worse than being somebody's puppet? A: Being a puppet of a puppet.
"MAGA Mike" Johnson has gained nothing by being Trump's House mouthpiece. The GOP caucus is even more dysfunctional than it was under Kevin McCarthy. Trump is too busy screaming "BLOODBATH" and proclaiming himself to be a dictator to bother helping out his stooge who is being challenged by other MAGA nihilists.
Mike Johnson's job is impossible thanks to disruptive Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz
Loyalty to Trump will not be repaid. He will toss you out like a used ketchup packet from McDonald's once he no longer has any use for you.

Shocker, Putin wins his own rigged election!
If Trump wins in the US in 2024 expect the 2028 election to go something like Russia's bad parody of democracy this weekend.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was slated to win the country's presidential election, state-run exit polls showed Sunday. The government-run VTsIOM pollster showed the 71-year-old had won a landslide, having secured an estimated 88% of the vote in the three-day election that included no real opposition candidates. The exit polls were released following the closure of polling stations in Russia's westernmost region of Kaliningrad on Sunday evening. If confirmed, the result would be a record for Putin, who received 76.7% of the vote in the last presidential election in 2018. The former KGB spy would become Russia's longest-serving leader in more than 200 years, overtaking Josef Stalin.
One way to drive up turnout is to force people to vote.

Helping Ukraine ward off an imperialistic totalitarian neighbor is not just a good errand. It's a matter of US national security which has implications for the entire democratic West.
Allowing Russia to win its war in Ukraine would be a self-imposed strategic defeat for the United States.The United States would face the risk of a larger and costlier war in Europe. The United States would face the worst threat from Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union, as a victorious Russia would likely emerge reconstituted and more determined to undermine the United States — and confident that it can. A Russian victory would diminish America’s deterrence around the world, emboldening others with an explicit or latent intent to harm the United States. A Russian victory would create an ugly world in which the atrocities associated with Russia’s way of war and way of ruling the populations under its control are normalized. Most dangerous of all, however, US adversaries would learn that they can break America’s will to act in support of their strategic interests. The ground truths of this war have not changed: Russia still explicitly intends to erase Ukraine as a concept, people, and state; Ukraine’s will to fight remains strong; Russia has made no operationally significant advances this year; and Ukraine’s will combined with the West’s collective capability (which dwarfs Russia’s) can defeat Russia on the battlefield. US interests still include preventing future Russian attacks on Ukraine and helping Ukraine liberate its people and territory. Supporting Ukraine is still the best path for the United States to avoid higher costs, larger escalation risks, and a greater Russian threat.
Putin is a madman who has already sacrificed hundreds of thousands of Russians for his goal of essentially reconstituting the shabby Soviet Union. Don't expect him to negotiate in good faith or to keep his word.
Donald Trump is a compromised tool of Putin. And most of the GOP has displayed unswerving allegiance to Trump.
 If Russia wins in Ukraine because of the collapse of Western aid, it will be because Russia has managed to shape Americans’ understanding of reality such that the United States willingly chooses to act against its interests and values without realizing that it is doing so. Russia will have manipulated America into abandoning its own interests in a fight it could and should have won. That’s a dangerous lesson for China, Iran, and other US adversaries to learn. America’s security now and in the future, in Asia and the Middle East as well as in Europe, depends on remaining solidly connected with our strategic interests and values and demonstrating that we will not fall prey to efforts to manipulate our perceptions of those interests.
Over the remainder of the winter holiday season, contact your House members and demand that they not cave to Putin.

The worst geopolitical predictions for 2023 came from - (🥁 drumroll 🥁) - Putin's Russia!
Former President Dmitry Medvedev is renowned for being a drunken sot with a big mouth and empty head. When making predictions for 2023 a year ago he may have been taking vodka intravenously.
Medvedev burst on the scene for keeping the presidential seat warm at the Kremlin (2008-2012) while Putin was constitutionally forced to sit out a term. Putin has since "fixed" the Russian constitution so he can serve well into the next decade. Medvedev's qualifications for office were that he is shorter than Putin and too dull to engineer a coup.
So now that 2023 is almost over, Medvedev's predictions seem even more bizarre and hilarious than they were at the end of 2022.
Putin Ally Brutally Mocked Over Failed 2023 Predictions
Tumblr media
Remember that in addition to being a former president and prime minister of Russia, this guy is now deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia. Now we know why his country is making such bad decisions like thinking that it can get away with invading a neighboring country.
Just to address a few of Medvedev's predictions...
The price of oil (at least the benchmark West Texas Intermediate Crude) is currently $71.33 a barrel – less than half of Medvedev's figure. In April of 2018 the price was $74.15.
France and Germany are definitely not at war.
Neither the EU nor the Euro have collapsed.
Poland and Hungary have not occupied Western Ukraine. How this is supposed to happen while Poland itself is to be partitioned (another Medvedev prediction) defies all logic.
Civil war did not break out in the US and Elon Musk is not president. Musk is a bit like Medvedev but with less vodka and more money.
The dollar is still in circulation. I made a number of purchases with it on Friday and will again over the weekend.
Things may not be perfect in the US but AT LEAST WE'RE NOT RUSSIA. 🇺🇸 And as long as Republicans are kept out of power, we won't become Russia.

War crimes against a US citizen by Putin's troops in Ukraine have been met with indictments in the US.
The U.S. Justice Department announced war crimes charges Wednesday against four people affiliated with the Russian military for allegedly abducting and torturing an American citizen in Ukraine following the Kremlin's full-scale invasion last year. The indictment, unsealed in the Eastern District of Virginia, marks the first time the U.S. has brought war crimes charges in connection with the Russian assault on Ukraine. Ukrainian prosecutors, meanwhile, have brought their own separate and unrelated war crimes cases against Russian troops since the war began. "As the world has witnessed the horrors of Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, so has the United States Department of Justice," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. "The Justice Department will work for as long as it takes to pursue accountability and justice for Russia's war of aggression." Court papers identify two of the defendants as Suren Seiranovich Mkrtchyan and Dmitry Budnik — both commanding officers in Russia's military or the Donetsk People's Republic's forces. The other two defendants are Valerii LNU (last name unknown) and and Nazar LNU, who were lower-ranking military personnel. The men are charged with three war crimes – unlawful confinement, torture and inhuman treatment – and one count of conspiracy to commit war crimes. If convicted, the defendants each face a maximum sentence of life in prison. They are not in U.S. custody.
These are bad people – just like the person who started this war in the first place.
When Russian military forces and their proxies from the so-called Donetsk People's Republic swept into Mylove and the surrounding region in the days of Russia's onslaught, the defendants allegedly took the victim from his home by force. During the abduction, the indictment says, they they threw the victim "face down to the ground while he was naked, tied his hands behind his back, pointed a gun at his head, and beat him with their feet, their fists, and the stocks of their guns," according to the indictment. It was the beginning of what court papers paint as 10 days of brutal treatment at the hands of his captors. Over that time, the defendants allegedly took the American to a military compound, where he was beaten again. In the days that followed, the indictment says, he was subjected to several interrogations sessions during the defendants stripped and photographed him, beat him and threatened to kill him. At one point, a co-conspirators allegedly held a knife to the victim's throat. The indictment also describes a mock execution of the American, identified in court papers as V-1.
Unfortunately this has been a common occurrence in Ukraine. Tankies, GOP Putin apologists, and dimwit billionaires want us to turn the other way while Putin commits genocide.
Despite war crimes against Americans, Republicans are taking Putin's side. Putin is Trump's puppet master and Capitol Hill Republicans are in thrall to Trump.

Discussing the Russian invasion of Ukraine with a MAGA zombie is futile.
Joe Biden has broadly done more for for American national security than Trump ever did with his shoddy, decaying border wall or his playing footsie with Putin and other dictators.

Oh look, Putin’s mouthpiece at Mar-a-Lago is singing the Kremlin’s tune once again. Did Putin recently remind Trump that he still has those pee tapes? If we should worry about anything nuclear, it’s the classified nuclear documents Trump may have shared with Russia.
Putin understands that if he used nukes, the ultimate outcome would be of him ending up as a pile of radioactive dust. The nuclear talk from Moscow via Trump is a red herring.
Speaking of red, remember all of the red lines the Kremlin previously blustered about?
Tumblr media
When you call the bluff of bullies, they lose.
We should worry less about Putin’s feelings and more about giving our friends the tools they need to help them survive.
The best way to “get this crazy war over” is to kick Putin’s butt so hard that he and his successors permanently give up the idea of restoring the wretched Soviet empire in all but name. Russia needs to understand once and for all that it must start acting like a normal country.
This war is 100% the fault of Putin’s Russia; Russia’s genocidal invasion was unprovoked and a violation of international law. Bothsiderism on the part of dumbshits like Elon Musk and Donald Trump is a public demonstration of historical and geopolitical stupidity.
