Speaker Mike Johnson’s sudden bid to deliver aid to Ukraine came days after fresh intelligence described the U.S. ally at a true make-or-break moment in its war with Russia.
It was exactly the kind of dire assessment that President Joe Biden and the White House had spent months privately warning Johnson was inevitable.
It's amazing to watch the same GOPs who cheered Reagan calling Russia 'The Evil Empire' fall all over themselves to protect a guy who was trained by the KGB.
They have no shame or self-awareness, and if they do, they just don't care which circles back to having no shame. They love being under the boot of authoritarians.
I'm Latin American, American conservatives used us as proxies, in civil wars where one side was funded by the CIA, the other by the KGB.

I'll hold my praise until he does.
Most words are cheap, but Republican words are worthless.
Call your representative even if they're staunch R.
Mine had a receptionist clearly frustrated with how much they were meeting folks telling them to stop the bullshit and vote.
There are reps that are on the edge deciding if full maga meltdown is really worth their jobs it seems to me.
I promise you, Gym Jordan sincerely does not give one shit, but it would be fun to annoy him.
Oh yeah then say your bit then ask them how much the RNC has sent them since Lara took over. They all love that question.
The House cleared a key procedural hurdle and will consider aid to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific tomorrow, 316 to 94, Punchbowl News reports.
Once again, House Democrats helped save Speaker Mike Johnson — 165 Democrats voted for the rule, joining with 151 Republicans. Just 39 Democrats voted no, along with 55 Republicans.
The Senate's vote may be delayed a bit, but it will surely pass.
My biggest hope from all of this is that the resulting fallout and infighting causes the Rs to lose House majority via another wave of resignations.
Nutted by reality
