GOP Pro-Putin caucus: GOP House caucus has 213 members - but ONLY 85 House Republicans attended President Zelensky's speech Wednesday - several refused to applaud him. Again today's GOP is a pro-FASCIST movement. It must be politically DESTROYED to save our nation. Period.
@DeanObeidallah That's pathetic, even for them.
@DeanObeidallah WTF is wrong with these people?
@DeanObeidallah They're too busy plotting in what ways they can try and destroy our government and country with their evil minds. Thankfully and hopefully they will accomplish nothing.
@DeanObeidallah How many dozens of times have I said they would welcome Russian troops in the streets of D.C.? I don't mean it tongue in cheek.
@DeanObeidallah And I said it before this invasion. They are merely demonstrating what I already knew.
@DeanObeidallah
My 89-year-old Dad and I were talking about this recently and we concluded that it's all because nobody remembers what fascism looks like anymore. People see it constantly and don't recognize that it's the same thing as in the twenties and thirties simply because it was all too long ago. Not that the info is hard to find; just been completely normalized amongst some populations.
@AndyLowry @DeanObeidallah
Propaganda does that! As a child in middle school I remember being shown what propaganda looked like so we would be able to determine for ourselves. That was a Republican initiative.
It's so strange seeing Russian sympathizers in our top government offices now, with Americans older than me supporting them. Used to, being called a Russian sympathizer was fighting words, now it's a Trumpists calling.
Real Americans don't support countries who wage war & break treaties.
@ElenoreNeverMore @DeanObeidallah
You probably saw it too-- there was a photo floating around from the Former Person rallies where a participant wore a teeshirt stating "I'd rather be Russian than Democrat" on it. Well okay then. What the hell, why not just take the next step and sign up with ISIS-- I hear the food is good.. 😉
@DeanObeidallah Maybe we should expell those who planned the coup?
@DeanObeidallah remember when this type of thing was frowned upon?
@DeanObeidallah Gaetz was on rightwing tv saying the US helping Ukraine is going to “dry up”. Of course right at his side was “platypus foot” MTG.
@DeanObeidallah Congress looks like theater. Those GOP Reps show up not to do the job they are paid by the public, but to instead put on a performance that suits their personal interests. 😔☹
@DeanObeidallah We've got a difficult two years coming up.
@DeanObeidallah
Not a political party, authoritarian cult
@DeanObeidallah
Despicable. And frightening.
@DeanObeidallah when you realize Putin is funded by the global fossil fuel industry—it all makes perfect sense. Drop the pretenses of boarders and loyalties to country—then you’ll understand this is a world crime syndicate of power and control. We stop them by stopping the funding, we do that by uniting and standing together! Stop allowing the divisions and bullshit. Truth and transparency is how we save ourselves and our planet. 🌎 #WeAreTheGuardrails
@DeanObeidallah Republicans are on the side of the side of the fascists because they are fascists.
@DeanObeidallah It breaks my heart, because I was a Reagan, McCain, etc. Republican - one of the people who have just been told that they’re not our party any more. Those losers are against everything the Republican Party used to stand for; how they can even DARE to call themselves Republicans is beyond me.
@DeanObeidallah
Dean's here! YAAAAAAAY. Loved his movie about Muslim comics.
@DeanObeidallah Can you list the names of who attended?
