It’s been almost exactly a year since Vladimir Putin’s Russia, the enemy of all good people in the world, invaded Ukraine in order to stroke Putin’s sick fantasies about making Russia great again. And because it’s Presidents’ Day, Joe Biden, the president of the United States, decided to make a surprise visit to Ukraine to see Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine.
It makes sense. Zelenskyy is a hero for democracy and Ukraine is our ally. It’s a striking visual. It’s incredibly meaningful.
And as you can imagine, the world’s vilest people are so angry about it. We’re not going to spend a lot of time copy/pasting all the idiot Republicanswhining that Biden went to Ukraine and not to East Palestine, Ohio. They themselves are copy/pasting that very original thought, because they all read from the same talking points, and because pretending to give a shit about the town where that derailment happened is their thing right now. It’s boring.
Seditionist human wastebasket Marjorie Taylor Greene has had a bunch to say this morning. She is under a lot of mistaken impressions, notions she needs to be disabused from. For instance, that she is considered classy enough to make editorial comments on Zelenskyy’s outfits. That she is an arbiter of what is or is not “insulting” to America.
In this next one it gets really weird. This person who literally sides withworthless domestic terrorists who tried to overthrow the government thinks she gets to say what “Americans” think about Joe Biden.
Of course it’s unsurprising that she sneers at “Ukraine’s government and war.” Putin loves it, we are sure.
After those, Greene flipped over to her personal Twitter account so she could REALLY get the anti-American seditionist shit going on Presidents’ Day.
She’s literally calling for conservative states to secede, for the country to break in to pieces. Golly, remember what happened last time the conservatives seceded? (Paste-eating Republican “historians” like Dinesh D’Souza can save their comments about DURRRRRRRRR ACTUALLY the Republicans freed the slaves. All educated people know the parties 100 percent switched places.)
Also, she says that “everyone I talk to says this.” As if anybody Greene talks to is representative of good and patriotic Americans. And does she realize her own state is voting blue these days and would likely prefer to stick with the real America?
Anyway, enough of her.
Dumpy little stinker Ron DeSantis was on “Fox & Friends” this morning, also under the impression that he’s got his finger on the pulse of “America.” He said, “I and many Americans are thinking to ourselves, ‘OK, he’s very concerned about those borders halfway around the world. He’s not done anything to secure our own borders here.'” We are sure Putin loves how DeSantis is reducing his genocidal war to a border dispute. (Bet Ron learned that one from Putin’s primo sidepieceTucker Carlson.)
DeSantis paid lip service to criticizing Russia, while also suggesting we shouldn’t give Ukraine a “blank check,” as if Ukraine is ungrateful and we should tighten the purse strings to teach them who’s boss or something. He also in this clip managed to shit on our NATO allies who are indeed worried about Russia invading.
But hey, if Republicans think that attacking Joe Biden for supporting democracy is the winning ticket, they are free to give that a try.
This is what it’s going to be. Biden doesn’t care about the American border. Biden doesn’t care about East Palestine. Biden doesn’t care about America. He only cares about Ukraine.
Whatever.
America’s last president tried to extort Ukraine into helping him steal the 2020 election, in exchange for protection from the country that’s currently genociding it. That’s leading to some interesting juxtapositions, as Ukraine welcomes a legitimate American president.
Whew.
Anyway, Joe Biden is in Ukraine, and good people know that’s a good thing.
Since Presidents’ Day is for presidents and mattress sales, we’ll let Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have the last word. All these other seditionist shitheads can get bent.
