“It’s just shocking. I’ve never seen anything like it,” the president said Monday.
President Joe Biden called the behavior of House Republicans “shocking” on Monday for “walking away from the threat of Russia” for not passing aid for Ukraine.
“The way they’re walking away from the threat of Russia, the way they’re walking away from NATO, the way they’re walking away from meeting our obligations. It’s just shocking. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Biden said in remarks to reporters on the White House lawn.
Biden’s frustrations with House Republicans have increased after the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died Friday in prison.
The president urged House Republicans to pass aid for Ukraine on Friday, saying, “It’s about time they step up, don’t you think,” instead of going on an extended recess, which he called a “two-week vacation.”
GOP in 2016. We need Trump because Putin isn’t afraid of Hillary
GOP in 2024. We need Putin because we are afraid of Greta.
Silly Biden. Republicans aren’t walking away from the threat of Russia. Republicans are all Russian assets, they’re welcoming Putin with open arms.
Yeah, “walking away from” is a weird turn of phrase.
And he needs to come right out and say the truth. Just like I think he and all of his surrogates need to start saying right out that Trump is committed treason, that he is a rapist, and that he wants to be a dictator. Hammer those points into voters. “If you vote for Trump, you are voting for a rapist.” And bring the receipts because there are receipts.
But instead they do this milquetoast shit.
Look, I would rather have virtually anyone on the left other than Biden, but it looks like we’re stuck with Biden. Now we need to convince the campaign to stop this shit and put their big boy pants on.
Absolutely blows my mind how milquetoast this statement from Biden is. Like, we’re at the precipice of authoritarianism and only months away from what could very well be our last free and fair election, and this is the best the democrats can do?
“I’ve never seen anything like it.” Says Biden.
Yes, yes you have Biden, we fought wars over this same thing. It’s taught in history class.
How is it possible that we all know where this is headed and our politicians and media are still acting surprised?
when you’re a democratic politician every election year either you win or your stock portfolio does. they have absolutely no skin in the game, no one is taking their rights, no one is holding rallies to deport them or have them all declared child molesters. it’s a game to them. it has been since forever, and it was never more evident than when Hillary Clinton gambled with our prosperity and lost by elevating Donald Trump thinking that she could use the threat of his presidency to motivate democratic voters without having to actually give us anything.
anyone on the left other than Biden
Biden’s not on the left, democrats are not the left.
They’ve worked hard to maintain the oligarchic status quo furthering the corruption and rot that have led to the current populist/fascist movements.
more like “warmly embracing with asscheeks spread wide”
Are we still pretending Ukraine has any chance of “winning” it’s conflict with Russia?
When we met our obligations they won the logistical war in Crimea and forced Putin to resort to terror bombing civilian targets in central Ukraine. Victory for Ukraine now means the destruction of the Russian state. Russia made it existential so of course the odds are long.
And you honestly believe the Ukraine has any modicum of a chance at destruction of the Russian state? Are you delusional?
The North Vietnamese had no chance of destroying America, but the Soviets funded the VC and North Vietnamese to tie down American resources and increase internal strife at home. From a purely NATSEC perspective there is no downsides to sending old equipment from storage to Ukraine. Clears out old stock and requires production of modern equipment to replace it. The Republicans would have been all over this 12 years ago.
It was fun while the mortar shells lasted but we’re completely out of shells and the remains we do have Biden wants to give to israel.
Russia has turned their economy into a war economy and produces like 5 million shells a year now. Meanwhile we can do 500.000.
Also we did a coup in Pakistan to make them sell their shells to Ukraine but now that’s also starting to fail.
A great video with top journalist Ryan Grim about the subject
I just saw a video about Pakistan and it didn’t seem to be clear the CIA is responsible for this: Why Pakistan Locked Up It’s Leader | Hasan Ali | TMR. But I’d be interested in any info to the contrary!
Does it matter? Its their right to fight, and in our duty/interest to help
I disagree with both of those (duty/interest) statements, so, yes, it matters.
So they’re not allowed to defend themselves against russia? Lol the fuck are you smoking…
Joe… Psssst … Maybe, just maybe they’re on the take for Russia
