GOP senators came out of a meeting with Zelenskyy unconvinced on supporting more aid to Ukraine. They called for more stringent immigration measures.

    Republicans, once again making me feel ashamed of my country. It seems to be the only thing they are good at.

    Authoritarian US terrorists and Russian puppets announce that they are unconvinced by the pleas of Russia’s victims.

      Yeah, sorry. I rarely take news from there, and sometimes I don’t wait long enough for the real link.
      Sorry

    Yep, I guess not even seeing the horrific casualties of war is enough to convince these GOP monsters why this war has to be won by Ukraine and not Russia. It’s pretty clear many of them are already working for the Kremlin anyway. Well, let Russia win then and take over Europe. I don’t give a fuck anymore. GOP wants us all dead, then there’s not much we can do to stop it at all. Let’s start learning Russian dialect as soon as possible and teaching it in our schools.

      I’m happy that we(Ukrainians) didn’t have these defeatist thoughts when the war started.

        Well I was being defeatist to make a point. Either we help fund Ukraine now or we all lose in a huge way in the end. It looks like our fellow Americans have voted to lose and concede our powers to Russia. So why not join them instead of fighting them.

          I understand that the point you’re trying to make, and I understand why you’re doing it this way. It still hurts to read something like that.

            It should hurt, it’s supposed to. What good would it be if my words had no impact at all. At least you get my point - unlike 99.9 percent of the rabble on this site.

            I’m amazed you can stand after sucking your mom’s maggot-infested cunt all day long. By now you should have a good idea just how little I value any opinion you have, and how little spine you have in my own view. Keep being a filthy asshole, though - that’s about all you’re good for.

          Your fellow Americans haven’t decided shit. Public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of Ukraine. A handful of Republicans have decided that their bit of kompromat and pocket change is more important than the trajectory of world politics. You want to be mad at someone, be mad at them, and let’s make sure their history and policy choices are reflected when they’re up for reelection.

            It clearly is, and that’s my point. In America, public opinion is heavily in favor of the Ukraine. A handful of Republicans have decided to hold the rest of us hostage to their own ends and because it lines their pockets. I am mad at them, that was the whole point of my original post. I think my sarcasm is sometimes lost on people.

        I prefer getting downvotes, because it indicates I’m telling the truth and people are hating having to come face to face with it. You can always tell you’ve told the truth by how many people are angry about it. If people didn’t downvote my comments, they’d be pretty useless.

          What a stupid attempt at explaining away terrible opinions.

          It could conceivably work if your audience was terrible people and you were pointing out something positive, but thinking that is a general rule shows you just want to troll people.

            Well it’s not quite as stupid as you, but OK I’m liking your anger here. The more I get under your skin, the happier I am about it. You’ve demonstrated that you’re so easily manipulated and, that I can bring out the worst in you very easily. And that makes my whole day!

      I have nothing against you, and I don’t think that the downvotes you’re getting are deserved.

    I’m sorry, Ukraine, that our political leaders are 82% fucking worthless and 17.9% traitorous assclowns. Everyone with more than half a brain is ashamed of/enraged at the current state of things over here, and yet largely impotent to change that fact.
