I asked why Republicans armed and continue to arm Putin. Not why Putin allegedly helps Republicans.
It’s not alleged. It’s admitted on both sides.
republicans have had no power in Congress or the White House to cut aid to Ukraine since the war started. Now they will.
I’m sure the trumpist wing of the GOP will try to reduce funding of Ukraine. We will have to wait and see if other wings of the GOP stand up to m’aga. My hopes are low.
‘Rep. Liz Cheney on Sunday branded Kevin McCarthy the leader of the “pro-Putin” wing of the GOP after the House minority leader suggested cutting U.S. funding of Ukraine’s war effort.’
What about when they did have power in congress, and even the White House? Why did they choose to arm Ukraine, even after Obama didn't and they had no obligation to do so? How do you reconcile these facts with your allegation that the GOP holds hands with Putin?

If you think agip uses logic to form any of his absurd opinions you're sadly mistaken.
He's told what to think and he thinks it. End of story.
This is why doing the GOP crime blotter is exhausting. It never ends.
Special counsel Jack Smith has subpoenaed local officials in Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin — three states that were central to former president Donald Trump’s failed plan to stay in power following the 2020 election — for any and all communications with Trump, his campaign and a long list of aides and allies.
A new study of how criminals vote found that most convicts register Democratic, a key reason in why liberal lawmakers and governors are eager for them to get back into the voting booth after their release.

agip, here's some informative and nuanced coverage--from CNN, no less!--of Republicans' continuing support for Ukraine.

After House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy suggested last week that Republicans might pull back funding for Ukraine next year if they take the majority, the GOP leader has worked behind the scenes to reassure national securit...
"GOP sources told CNN they believe that only a small faction of Republican lawmakers — the midterm elections will determine how many — are opposed to funding Ukraine’s battlefield efforts. What’s more likely to likely face cuts under a GOP majority, sources said, is the economic assistance and other non-military aid going to Ukraine, like the aid money going to the United Nations to help Ukraine rebuild its country and the money going to USAID to support Ukraine’s budget."
There are lots of Republican leaders who seem to be anti-war right now. Hard to say if it’s because they are friendly to Russia or if it’s politically advantageous to call your opponent an evil warmonger, but it’s there.
Perhaps they're just opposed to flushing American tax dollars down the toilet?
We've mailed more money to Ukraine than we spent on our own troops in a year in Afghanistan.
F*CK Europe. We shouldn't be giving those free loading scumbags another dime. If anything we should be demanding compensation from all of Western Europe.
Silly me for forgetting about the spending angle. Is Europe not valuable to us in any way? Trade or strategic geography or something? If we just said f*ck Europe, what would we lose?

Europe is worth nothing to us. Europe was going to be the battlefield we fought the Soviets on. There no more Soviets. Russia is a weak and dying nation. Let the filthy Euros pay for their own defense.
Our primary trade partners are Mexico and Canada.
We could cut Europe off completely and be perfectly fine.

Putin and the Republicans share a lot but are not identical. There is still a bush wing of the GOP. We will see what happens next year to see who runs the party.

Putin hates free speech. Putin demonizes his political opponents.
Putin has much more in common with the Democrats than the Republicans.

GOP Crime Blotter
Donald J. Trump’s family real estate business was convicted on Tuesday of tax fraud and other financial crimes, a remarkable rebuke of the former president’s company and what prosecutors described as its “culture of fraud and deception.” The conviction on all 17 counts, after more than a day of jury deliberations in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, resulted from a long-running scheme in which the Trump Organization doled out off-the-books luxury perks to some executives: They received fancy apartments, leased Mercedes-Benzes, even private school tuition for relatives, none of which they paid taxes on.

Yep. Weisselberg even tried to protect not just Trump in particular, but also The Trump Organization...didn't work. Convicted on all 17 counts...a pattern of criminal behavior over 15 years for The Trump Organization. What a great business and businessman! Pfft!

SBF is a punk kid...not a former US President who tried to overturn a lawful election who is running again for the US's highest office.
SBF is also not the leader of the Democratic Party or a leader in the party or any such thing.
Wow...you are really stretching here.
I'll just keep whipping out this 'graph to explain and predict the behavior of 'conservatives.'I will highlight where they are in their dealing with the shame of Trump.
Charen: For seven years, the right has been explaining, excusing, avoiding, and eventually cheering the most morally depraved figure in American politics. That takes a toll on the psyche. You can tell yourself that the other side is worse. Or you can tell yourself that the critics are unhinged, suffering from “Trump derangement syndrome” whereas you are a man of the world who knows nobody’s perfect. But then Trump will do what he always does—he’ll make a fool of you. You denied that Trump purposely broke the law when he took highly classified documents to Mar-A-Lago and obstructed every effort to retrieve them. And then what does Trump do? He admits taking them! You scoff at the critics who’ve compared Trump with Nazis. And then what does he do? He has dinner with Nazis! (And fails to condemn them even after the fact.) You despised people who claimed Trump was a threat to the Constitution, and then Trump explicitly calls for “terminating” the Constitution in order to put himself back in the Oval Office.
When you have a boring, corrupt and senile president, you lead with what works. And there is good reason for suburban people to fear big American Democratic cities. The violence in them in unprecedented. There has been no generation of Americans who are more callous, violent and unfeeling towards their peers and other ordinary citizens than our present urban teenagers and young adults. There is no remorse in the aftermath of the continual gun play plaguing the poor denizens of our biggest cities. Shooting after shooting after shooting.

quick poll:
Does this clown actually think crime is higher now than 30 years ago, or 20 years ago? Is he ignorant or lying?
I say ignorant. He doesn't have that trollish feel to him. He seems an authentic ignoramus.
Crime is down 70-80% in NYC over the last 29 years-ish.
and murders are down 12% from 2021 even.
I think Philly and Chitown are worse now than previous peaks but just about all other cities are better.
Listen up. Right wing media lies to you every single day and twice on sunday. It's what they do to get clicks and make money. Do not let them make you into a moran.
