Putin Is The 'Dictator’: GOP Balks As Trump Hurls Attacks Against Ukraine’s Zelenskyy

uk.news.yahoo.com Putin Is The 'Dictator’: GOP Balks As Trump Hurls Attacks Against Ukraine’s Zelenskyy

"I don’t accept George Orwell’s doublethink," one House Republican said after President Trump blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Russia.

Trump used his Truth Social platform on Wednesday to lash out at Zelenskyy and call the Ukrainian a “dictator without elections” who has “done a terrible job” defending his country. Ukraine hasn’t had elections since martial law was put in place after Russia invaded its territory three years ago and launched a deadly bombing campaign that persists today.

Trump’s broadside followed Zelenskyy’s comment that the U.S. president was being influenced by Russian disinformation after Trump falsely claimed that Ukraine started the war with Russia.

I'm glad they're publicly contradicting Trump. Too bad they won't actually do anything about him.
- wake me up when they rally against the dicktator, and kick the leaky diaper out of office and all the way to eastern kansas.
  
  they wont, since alot of them are primiarly funded by putin.

Oh wow, if only someone could have told them that Trump was licking Putin's asshole in public not just since 2016, but doubly since the literal invasion (or more overt stage of the invasion, if one prefers) of Ukraine in 2022. God, if only there was some kind of publicly available record of Trump attacking Ukraine and praising Putin this whole time that they could have looked at to predict how the Trump presidency would go!
Alas, some of the most powerful and highly placed politicos in the country were helpless to see what us lowly working-class demonrats saw and heard constantly, over and over and over again, from the puckered asshole's own lips. 😔

The GOP can sink with the orange ship

terrible job at defending his country
I need ammunition, not a ride
Go fuck an umbrella you lying Cheeto

I didn't think I would ever say this, but here it is: I wish that modern Republicans thought more about what Reagan would have done.
(Eisenhower would be an even better Republican to remember now. He would be ashamed to see his party and this country as they are today.)
- I'm pretty sure Biden was to the right of Reagan and I think his status as a GOP icon has all but evaporated with Trump in the picture. Half of his base is too young to even remember him and the other half has had their brains turned to mush with all the right wing propaganda.
- Eisenower was the last decent republican.
  
  As much as he disliked the military-industrial complex, he also perpetuated the nuclear arms race that began with Truman and Stalin.
  So I don't know that I would call him decent either.
- Reagan was the worst president in US history prior to Trump.
  
  its well known he had early ons-et alzheimers, it was nancy and the cabinet that was running the show.

Increasingly surreal stuff just seems to happen.
But I note that some high-profile Republicans have a spine - despite Elon Musk's promise to beat anyone who diobeys Trump with his wallet (in primaries).
Subsequently, Trump was requested to be more truthful by: Mike Pence, Don Bacon, Lindsey Graham, Mike Rounds, John Kennedy, Thom Tillis, John Thune - and probably others who I haven't even heard of, who didn't make the news.

  Only the old guard ones who still are deluded into thinking they need to maintain some semblance of propriety and keep the government running while they loot it. Theyre stuck in an era when public discourse and press actually mattered. But now... This Nazi monster has so far outrun their control that they don't know what to do anymore.

Look at these spineless creatures pretending like they still have free will. As if they didn't give it all to Trump years ago.

I read people on Xitter saying that Ukraine should respect that Russia is more powerful than them and they should give Russia whatever they want.
- Which is honestly fucking hilarious. Russia is a pathetic backwater.

Is there a pool on how long before this guy falls out a window?
