GOP senators came out of a meeting with Zelenskyy unconvinced on supporting more aid to Ukraine. They called for more stringent immigration measures.

Hard to convince someone out of an opinion that they've been paid heavily into taking

[–] [email protected] 37 points 10 months ago

The GOP is filled with traitors at this point.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

It was never going to work, they all know exactly how much #kompromat #Putin has on them.

@lusterko Fuck the GOP. Russki loving traitors

Republicans, once again making me feel ashamed of my country. It seems to be the only thing they are good at.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

@lusterko Nothing can tear them away from their love, Putin.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Traitors refuse to stop doing treason after being asked nicely. More news at ten.

Your link is a bit peculiar. It’s an out.reddit leading to the link you intended to post. Here’s the link sans trackers.

Yeah, sorry. I rarely take news from there, and sometimes I don't wait long enough for the real link.
Sorry

[–] EatYouWell 7 points 10 months ago

Well, yeah. They take their orders from Putin. Why would it change their minds?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Yep, I guess not even seeing the horrific casualties of war is enough to convince these GOP monsters why this war has to be won by Ukraine and not Russia. It's pretty clear many of them are already working for the Kremlin anyway. Well, let Russia win then and take over Europe. I don't give a fuck anymore. GOP wants us all dead, then there's not much we can do to stop it at all. Let's start learning Russian dialect as soon as possible and teaching it in our schools.

I'm happy that we(Ukrainians) didn't have these defeatist thoughts when the war started.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Well I was being defeatist to make a point. Either we help fund Ukraine now or we all lose in a huge way in the end. It looks like our fellow Americans have voted to lose and concede our powers to Russia. So why not join them instead of fighting them.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I understand that the point you're trying to make, and I understand why you're doing it this way. It still hurts to read something like that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It should hurt, it's supposed to. What good would it be if my words had no impact at all. At least you get my point - unlike 99.9 percent of the rabble on this site.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm amazed you're able to stand when you have absolutely no spine.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

It's clearly cynical. No way they're going to learn russian.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

I'm amazed you can stand after sucking your mom's maggot-infested cunt all day long. By now you should have a good idea just how little I value any opinion you have, and how little spine you have in my own view. Keep being a filthy asshole, though - that's about all you're good for.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your fellow Americans haven't decided shit. Public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of Ukraine. A handful of Republicans have decided that their bit of kompromat and pocket change is more important than the trajectory of world politics. You want to be mad at someone, be mad at them, and let's make sure their history and policy choices are reflected when they're up for reelection.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It clearly is, and that's my point. In America, public opinion is heavily in favor of the Ukraine. A handful of Republicans have decided to hold the rest of us hostage to their own ends and because it lines their pockets. I am mad at them, that was the whole point of my original post. I think my sarcasm is sometimes lost on people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was with you in the first half, but your conclusion is self defeating.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I prefer getting downvotes, because it indicates I'm telling the truth and people are hating having to come face to face with it. You can always tell you've told the truth by how many people are angry about it. If people didn't downvote my comments, they'd be pretty useless.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What a stupid attempt at explaining away terrible opinions.

It could conceivably work if your audience was terrible people and you were pointing out something positive, but thinking that is a general rule shows you just want to troll people.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well it's not quite as stupid as you, but OK I'm liking your anger here. The more I get under your skin, the happier I am about it. You've demonstrated that you're so easily manipulated and, that I can bring out the worst in you very easily. And that makes my whole day!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not angry, that is just you projecting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If that were true you wouldn't have bothered to make that statement. I am happy about your anger, though - don't get me wrong. It helps me keep my needles very sharp.

You repeat yourself, get some self respect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sounds good, I like your anger - it helps keep my needles very sharp.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh look, the AI is stuck in a loop.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Sounds good to me. I like AI it helps keep my needles very sharp.

I have nothing against you, and I don't think that the downvotes you're getting are deserved.
Edit: a letter

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit 4 points 10 months ago

The dumbest part is how repubes pretend not to understand this is in their interest and being done at a fraction of the cost it would have taken should EU or US been directly involved. The Putin party sure does love a dic.....tator.

[–] cultsuperstar 5 points 10 months ago

Why would it? They're all pro-Russia and pro-Putin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I'm sorry, Ukraine, that our political leaders are 82% fucking worthless and 17.9% traitorous assclowns. Everyone with more than half a brain is ashamed of/enraged at the current state of things over here, and yet largely impotent to change that fact.
