President Biden keeps telling the truth about Putin and Russian War Crimes which makes Republicans mad

According to a new book, President Biden correctly labeled Rupert Murdoch and Fox, "one of the most destructive forces in the United States."  President Biden also correctly called Putin a War Criminal.  But, despite Joe's comments being 100% demonstrably true and factual the President garnered pushback from Putin's Poodles in the GOP and rightwing internet. 

One of the rhetorical tools Republicans have used for years is to claim President Joe Biden is a gaffe-machine.  The GQP found willing accomplices in the Corporate Media which was always at the ready to excoriate Biden for his misspeaks.

Well, now that Vladimir Putin's forces have committed documented War Crimes in Bucha, Republicans have fully descended into the QAnon abyss of lies.  Republicans are furious!  No not with the War Crimes!  But, that Putin's military invasion should be going so badly and making Republicans look so bad for defending and supporting a KGB Colonel for so long

Petulant Republican children Matt Gaetz and Major Traitor Greene s are so mad at Putin, that they've taken to yelling at US SecDef Lloyd Austin for President Biden's successful rallying NATO and providing Ukraine weapons and support to defeat Russian forces.

Obviously, the Republicans think bombarding the American people with non-stop rightwing agitprop and falsehoods about Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson or Pete Buttigieg or President Biden is a winning strategy and maybe it is... because they goal is to get Americans to believe the lies Republicans tell about Democrats and disbelieve the truth told about Republicans.  Conservatives listen to these Trump rallies which are 100% falsehoods and cheer. 

But, once you've begun to accuse your political adversaries of being child rapists (and it's still unbelievably galling the Party of child abusers Donald Trump and Dennis Hastert and Mark Foley accuses the Democrats) then there's really no backtracking.  There's no way the Republicans can work with Democrats after this.  And since 9/11 this is entirely what we have seen from the Republicans.  Increasing inflammatory rhetoric and a ratcheting up of the wild accusations.  So that now the Republican Party is a wholly fascist organization dedicated to destroying the Rule of Law in the United States and ensconcing a One Party Ethno-Nationalist White Supremacist Country.  The 2022 and especially 2024 elections are going to see a Manichaeist Rule or Ruin Republican Party.

Rightwing Pundit Glenn Greenwald
But, before the next elections Republicans are harming plenty of people here and killing plenty of people abroad.  The images emerging from Bucha in Ukraine are War Crimes.  But, the pushback and defense of Putin and Russian war crimes on-line and by elected Republicans and powerful conservatives in the media is a stark harbinger of the Fascist American future.  

Michael Tracey should have the common courtesy

to remain dead after Maxine Waters murdered him
Throughout this Russian military build-up, invasion and now documented war crimes the Biden White House has shared accurate intel and stated facts about Putin and the conduct of the Russian military; Yet the chattering class of Twitter Reactionaries were having a grand time in February chortling and chastising Biden as Chicken Little but, since the invasion began Twitter right-wingers transitioned to non-stop promoting of Russian War Propaganda.

And the Putin apologists haven't been mollified by the images coming from Bucha.  Every new day highlights how their previous day's twitter rants are 100% wrong, but there's no penalty for being an idiot on Twitter (Michael Tracey and Glenn Greenwald are just the biggest Twitter Propagandists, there are 1000's like them) and these people who were wrong yesterday, wrong today, get to be wrong tomorrow and continue on as though their previous errors don't undermine their current errors.

Ukraine Quagmire convinces conservatives to consider invading Canada

The Pentagon estimates the now stalled Russian invasion of Ukraine has suffered a 10% degradation of forces and the attack itself has clearly failed to achieve whatever unrealistic timetables the Von Putin Plan called for.

Even during the darkest days of Iraq and Afghanistan, the US didn't have a disaster like this on their hands.

While facing losses and reversals on the actual battlefield, Russia and Putin continue to enjoy a sizable advantage in the United States on the virtual front of the War since the Republican Party continues to gleefully "catapult the propaganda" and to actively support Vladimir Putin and his war crimes.

All of this of course stems from the fact the Republicans entire brand of politics has been inexorably tied into that of Russia; first as erstwhile foes, now as ardent allies.  Republicans have more in common with Putin and his murderous Neo-Fascism than they do with the United States and American people. 

For decades, conservatives have broadcast, on open source platforms, that their true enemy; that they hate, that they yearn to be unleashed to round-up and murder, are Liberals.  It was easy for foreign adversaries to read, watch, and listen to conservatives year after year propound their ardent desire to "Lock'em up" and kill the non-MAGA and then craft and hone propaganda dissemination machines (rapidly assisted by the advent of social media) which amplified and now create rightwing outrages which conservatives dutifully absorb and re-transmit.

It has become a core tenet of the Republican worldview to consider the Democratic party as not simply a political opponent, but an enemy pursuing an “un-American” project of turning what is supposed to be a white Christian patriarchal nation into a land of godless multiracial pluralism. Conversely, Republicans see themselves as the sole proponents of “real” America, defending the country from the forces of radical leftism, liberalism and wokeism. - Professor Thomas Zimmer Georgetown University.

But, the Russian Invasion of Ukraine (besides being a war crime and sparking a humanitarian crisis) has shown the utter buffoonery of conservatives in the United States.  In response to the invasion of Ukraine conservatives called for the invasion of Canada,



Ha ha ha... perhaps you think this is more of that droll rightwing sense of humor?  Or this is more of the conservative need to be more and more outrageous to attract clicks and attention (and $$$) and they must be joking or can't be serious?  Well... stop it.  American Conservatives funded the fascist convoy in Canada and it morphed into an earnest attempt to topple the Trudeau Administration.  Conservatives are ideologically aligned with Putin and would love to emulate his actions in the United States and Canada. 

Fascism is on the March folks.  Stop ignoring it.  Stop whining that the Democratic Party isn't taking it seriously.  The Corporate and Rightwing Media will eviscerate any Democrat who points out what's obvious; the Republican Party and millions of their supporters are hoping and planning on ensconcing a Fundamentalist Fascist Ethno-State with the trappings of democracy, with violence meted out to non-MAGA at whim and backed with the awesome power of the State.

The GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russian Government

Russia declared War on Ukraine and the feckless American Right just recovering from their Canadian Trucker Tyranny Erections doesn't know exactly how to respond so it's a mishmash but, what became immediately apparent was just how thoroughly corrupted and enthralled the American Right is to Vladimir Putin.
As the song goes,
He's everything they want
He's everything they need
All it took for Republicans to fall for Putin was when Vlad affected a steely-eyed stare down with President Obama.  In that moment, Conservatives realized Putin embodied everything they wanted in a leader; a "christian", capitalist, white ethno-nationalist, authoritarian homophobic, murderous bureaucrat.

Of course, the Republican Party began their flirtation with Vladimir Putin under the W(orst POTUS Ever) Maladministration, then fell in love when Vlad infiltrated and purchased the NRA and Republican officials with Russian petrodollars but, finally gave themselves completely over to him when Vladimir Putin helped steal the 2016 Presidential Election.  
Even the GOP-led Senate was forced to admit conclusively that Russia, the FSB and Vladimir Putin explicitly aided Trump in stealing the 2016 election

The Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vladimir Putin.  And every Republican knows it
“There’s …there’s two people, I think, Putin pays: [California Representative Dana] Rohrabacher and Trump … [laughter] … swear to God,” Kevin McCarthy said. 

House Speaker Paul Ryan immediately responded: “This is off-the-record … [laughter] … NO LEAKS … [laughter] … alright?!”

On July 4th, 2018 GOP Traitors from all across the United States; Richard Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Thune (S.D.), John Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), John Hoeven (N.D.), and Rep. Kay Granger (Texas), spent Independence Day in Moscow's Red Square effusively groveling and paying Homage to Vlad Putin.  

Despicable Tucker Carlson and Faux News immediately set the tone for their unthinking followers. Lawyers, Guns, and Money have covered Tucker Carlson and his menagerie of war apologists so I will send you there. Carlson's shameless 'Vladimir Putin never called me a racist' is especially vile when you realize it's a rip-off of Muhammed Ali's famous speech denouncing the Draft and the Vietnam War, with the immortal speeches, the Vietcong never called me the N-Word.

The best thing about Tulsi "Putin's Present" Gabbard is she has openly shown herself to be everything I said she was years ago; a violent lying fascist, who loves War, and pretended to be a progressive to undermine the Left and the Democratic Party from within.  The Neo-Tankie Brocialists over at Naked Capitalism continue to talk about the boners she gives them as they support Putin's War Crimes.  Tulsi Gabbard's love missives to Vladimir Putin are way worse than any tiktok "If I was your mother" love poem by former actress Annalynn McCord.

Traitor Trump continues to remain a loyal vassal to Putin repeatedly and effusively expressing his admiration and jealousy at Putin's smarts.

On-line phony progressives remain a mass of gibbering goo belching out their nonsense about Imperialism and then repeating the FSB and GRU propaganda about Ukraine history, about NATO, about "denazification".  Glenn Greenwald has been completely idiotic and schizophrenic until you realize he's a paid Putin propagandist.  I see two other Putin owned Propagandists Matt Taibibi and Edward Traitor Snowden have gone silent after repeatedly claiming there would be no attack by Russia.

The Grotesque Old Putin (GOP) Party yearns to be able to wield power like a ex-KGB Colonel.  If conservatives had their druthers they would right now empower Police and the Military to round-up an massacre every Non-MAGA they could find.  The simple truth is conservatives love Vladimir Putin because they wish they could emulate his murderous actions.
 
What's ironically hilarious is whenever Republicans and conservatives fall in love with a Dictator they imbue them with fantasy powers. Conservatives pretend Putin is an all powerful Moriarty level super-genius.  So Putin scoring 8 goals in a Russian Federation hockey game or claiming to be an olympic level Judo and Sambo fighter is no different than the rightwing claims of Trump's prowess and powers.  Republicans love nothing as much as they love false strength.  Look at all the fantasy toughness they applied to that ignorant tub of orange goo Trump.  Trump doesn't sleep!  He's the hardest working President ever!

But nothing makes Republicans sicker than losing. Republicans have groveled like worms to Putin, have dreamed of asking Spetsnaz forces to parachute into DC to aid the Proud Boys in the next Jan6th style insurrection and seeing Russian forces fail to conquer Ukraine turns them into sniping jackals 

So, while the Republican Party and conservatives want to support Russia, the incompetence of the Russian military, spirited defense by the Ukrainian people and the showmanship of their President Volodmyr Zelensky has conservatives attempting to backtrack and set up a new narrative where they don't support a loser.

What's especially heinous is the Republican response to President Biden's leadership of NATO.  Joe Biden has been judicious and steadfast in keeping the alliances response tight and measured, while slowly ramping up pressure.  Even Condoleezza Rice expressed admiration for Joe's leadership and flatly told Faux News she didn't think keeping NATO together was possible after the damage Traitor Trump had done.

There is so much more I could write about this illegal Russian War of Aggression and the buffoonish response from Americans but, it's still likely, Russia will be able to conquer Ukraine, despite all the missteps, mistakes, faulty thinking, unrealistic assumptions and worldwide multi-phased pressure.  But, it's likely Covid decimated (literally) the Russian War Machine and either way massive damage has been done to the legend of Putin and the image of a renewed unbeatable Red Army.

Tsar Vladimir II (Russia annexes the Donbas region of Ukraine) Loathsome Trump approves

Russian military forces have invaded Ukraine to ostensibly defend the two separatist regions in the Donbas created by the Vladimir Putin 2014 engineered crisis.  Russian diplomats and Putin have declared the proto-republics are "ancient Russian lands" and Ukraine itself has no right to Statehood.  A question of why Vladimir Putin decided to invade Ukraine now, instead of when his pliant poodle was in power in the United States?  This question forgets that Traitor Trump was in the process of dismantling NATO through his blustering and blundering and at the bidding of Putin. 

Donbas area seized by Russia

Remember how odd it was when Donald John Trump was attacking NATO so vociferously?  Went out of his way to spew all sorts of shit at NATO conferences and even discussed unilaterally pulling the United States out?  Putin expected Donnie Two-Scoops to continue undermining NATO.  TFG's re-election would have undoubtedly put him on a path to pulling the United States out of NATO completely and thus leaving Alliance effectively neutralized.    If not for the Covid Pandemic, this on-going invasion and piecemeal annexation of Ukraine probably would have happened 2+ years ago.

Also never forget Donnie Traitor Trump sought to entice President Zelensky to fabricate a Ukrainian scandal involving Joe and/or Hunter Biden.  Of course, Zelensky would have learned very quickly that Trump doesn't pay those who do dirty work for him (as Jim Comes found out) and Trump would have turned a blind eye to Putin's rapacious recreation of Imperial Mother Russia.

It's no secret, Putin has sought to reinvigorate Russia through successful military conflicts, standing up to America, and having the Russian people view his own personal strength as a reflection of Russia's power and influence.  As to whether Putin imagines himself an inheritor to the Tsar of All the Russias or a heir to Stalin it makes no difference.

Putin started his tough guy rise when he responded to the 1999 Second Chechen War with "rub them out in the outhouse."  Since then, he flexed Russia's military might in 2008 in Georgia, with the annexation of Crimea in 2014.  Add in the stymying of President Obama in Syria when Russia successfully defended Assad despite his use of chemical weapons and war crimes.  (In this Putin has been helped immensely by the American dirtbag left and such perfidious reactionaries like Tulsi Gabbard and of course, the entire Republican Party which idolizes Vlad's "strength").  

But, the while the Pro-Putin GOP fumbles with how to blame Biden, the dirtbag left is clearly on board with the domestic abusers language of blaming NATO (and the US) for Russian aggression.  Unsurpisingly, the dirtbag left not only blames Biden but, casually dismisses the suffering the Ukrainian people are going to go through at the hands of an Authoritarian dictator's war of aggression.

Fortunately, President Biden, continues to ignore the non-stop twitter trolling from so-called leftist bros and has smartly and bravely, reinvigorated US leadership of NATO.  This, has strengthened the backbone of the new German Chancellor Olaf Scholz who announced the first major sanction against Putin's aggression.  Smartly, President Biden, the EU and NATO have started with low-level responses, instead of leading with a Sunday Punch, and relying on a slow tightening.

It probably won't be enough.  Putin took a bite of Ukraine in 2014 and now will work on consolidating this chunk. 

Update:
The Loathsome Traitor TFG had an on-air orgasm praising Putin,
“I said, ‘This is genius,'” Trump said on a right-wing podcast. “Putin declared a big portion of … Ukraine … as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. … I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s going to go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force. … We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re going to keep the peace all right. Here’s a guy who’s very savvy … I know him very well. Very, very well.”

And Matt Gertz on Twitter has already staked out what the Treasonous GOP response will be attack Biden from both ends.  Republicans see Putin's Fascism and weep for what they don't have here... yet...

USA Fascism Truckin' into Canada

'Cause we got a fascist ol' convoy
Fuckin' up Canada through the night
Yeah, we got a fascist ol' convoy
Ain't fascism a beautiful sight?
 
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't no democratically elected gubermint gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this fuckin' fascist convoy
'Cross the USA Canadian Plain

Fascists don't care what comes next after they topple a democratically elected government. They have a simple end-state in mind (i.e. them in charge) but their focus and purpose is to win the battle in front of them, not anything resembling actual governing.

The Ottawa and Associated Trucker Sit-Ins (Drive-Ins?) has morphed into an attempt to topple the Trudeau government. Perhaps elements always had this in mind.  Perhaps, a small group of bad actors infiltrated later to use the chaos and clown show convoy as cover.  But, when paramilitary wannabes feel free to openly erect compounds with fuel dumps, communications networks, and semi-sophisticated logistics centers then several thresholds have been crossed because modern day fascists seldom have the space to operate so openly.  Fascists always take advantage of the openness and tolerance of Democratic societies and right-wingers having co-opted and perverted the mantles of liberty, freedom, and patriotism find willing allies or foot-dragging in Law Enforcement.

Of course, the Canadian initial reaction and enforcement response seems to have been flawed either due to institutional blindness or inability to mobilize but, at the same time Fascists always strive for an over-reaction which then provides them their Casus Belli to engage in outright indiscriminate warfare.  And the Canadian system doesn't provide as strong an immediate federal response as Ours.

Fortunately for Us, Canadian citizens don't feel the constraints of the Government and have been trolling and fighting back against the Fascists.  Hackers infiltrated the communications of the Convoy and fought back interrupting their comms with the Gay Cowboy anthem "Ram Ranch".  Citizens were apparently also able to breach GiveSendGo (a Boston-based GoFundMe clone) and released the names of 92,000 donors to the Fascist Trucker Convoy.  With the proper diagnostic tools it would be a good idea to cross-reference those names with people arrested or associated with Jan6th.  GiveSendGo was also prominently used by the 01/06 Traitors.  Furthermore, on the ground reporting (therefore in contradiction with American rightwing propaganda) contradicts any claim this is some Rightwing Woodstock or expression of Workers Rights.  The only connection to Workers this group has is the National Socialist variety.  

Even a cursory examination of the leaders and people involved illustrates this is a collection of fringe far-right hooligans spouting a noxious mix of far-right bugbears, but now the group is receiving outside funding, support, and attention from many who see this as a way to undermine Democracy.  Probably some from the anti-democratic elements in Eastern Europe but, a large amount is being funneled from Good Old USA.  American right-wingers have become more and more comfortable fighting their war on Democracy and to overturn elections in our backyard.  Lead Faux Fascist Propagandist Tucker Carlson predictably called this "the most successful human rights protest".  Faux, writ large, has given nothing but glowing support for the whole endeavor.  It's always the smart play.  Faux tells its' viewers what to think and their rightwing drones will cling to that no matter what the evidence or truth.

Trump showed these people that Democratic institutions, norms, prohibitions, and even laws are weak.  Especially the laws part.  Trump and his Criminal Cabal committed crime after crime knowing the media couldn't or wouldn't keep up.  The Jan6th Inflection Point has not only put the United States in danger but, Western Democracies everywhere, as well.  It will be the Trump's lasting legacy and Vladimir Putin's most successful campaign to undermine freedom and liberty.  He's exported a new authoritarian vibe throughout the world.

The Trump family and the Republican Party are straight-up Traitors

We are a Republic not a Democracy - Conservative Mantra. Thanks to the traitorous Republican Party we have become a Respublik under Russian control.

Right wingers claim 3 million votes for Hillary were illegal, to explain why Trump was awarded the Presidency, as the ultimate Participation Trophy for coming in second place.  But, distressingly conservatives allowed 1 Dictator to determine the 2016 Presidential Election.

The Republicans always admired Dictator V. Putin.  Conservatives cherish and revere Putin because they long to have a strongman authoritarian dictator in office.  Putin's been sending Russian Agents into the US to destabilize faith in our governmental institutions and he found a willing partner in the Republican Party.  Putin shrewdly bought low and purchased Donald Trump in the 1990's and sat on his investment.  As the American Right-Wing descended into reactionary insanity and lost the last shreds of diginity, morality, and patriotism, Putin bought them too.
"There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump – swear to god!", Majority Leader of the Traitor Republicans Kevin McCarthy admitted to House Lead Traitor Paul Ryan and Gun Nut Steve Scalise last year.
Now Putin is selling High as he orders Trump in their private secretive meetings and the Republicans to eviscerate the American Dream at home and the American Ideal abroad.  Russian asset Dana Rohrabacher was ordered by Kremlin officials to disseminate Russian Propaganda on the U.S. House floor to weaken the Untied States and aid Putin and the Russian Government.

The Republican Party, henceforth the Республиканская партия (anglicized Respublikanskaya Partiya) takes orders from the FSB and the Kremlin. Respublikanskayas have known for years Trump and members of Congress are owned by Vladimir Putin.

So, the Republican Party are allied with a foreign power to subvert the United States.  The Respublikanskaya Partiya declared war on the United States decades ago and have no compunctions when it comes to undermining elections, disseminating lies and propaganda, collaborating with foreign powers, and engaging in all manner of illegal activities in order to achieve power.
"Of course it’s legal – it’s war," Traitor Rudy Giuliani answered, laughing. "Until the war is over, anything is legal."
The Respublikanskaya Partiya goal is to remake America into a Neo-Feudal Tyranny in which all power and wealth resides in the hands of the 1% and Republicans act as vicious Guard Dogs for the Plutocracy, keeping the 99% shackled in perpetual wage slavery.

If it means the Republicans have to pay dividends to V. Putin well that's just the price for enacting their brutal evil agenda. 

What's shocking, depressing, and ironic is the the Republicans efforts, since Prime Traitor Ronnie Raygun, to undermine faith in the United States, sow distrust in the government, and swipe the American Dream from the hands of the working class has allowed the Evil Empire under Putin to succeed where it failed as the Soviet Union.
