Madison Cawthorn 'infuriated' fellow Republicans by smearing Zelensky as a 'thug': report
Quote: | Controversial first-term Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) has annoyed members of his own party with his pro-Kremlin attack on the president of Ukraine.
"The North Carolina Republican infuriated members of his own party this week for calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "thug" and the Ukrainian government 'incredibly evil' -- comments that surfaced just days before Zelensky made a passionate plea to Congress on Wednesday for more help in defending Ukraine against Russia's bloody assault on the country," CNN reported Friday.
Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX) is the coach of the Republican baseball team and told CNN, "It was the talk of baseball practice today."
"It's not the time to toss accusations around like that," Williams said. "What I would just say is, I wish he hadn't said it. That was the general sentiment (at practice.)" |

MSNBC's Morning Joe unloads on GOP senators trying to 'trigger WWIII' to make Joe Biden look bad
Quote: | MSNBC's Joe Scarborough blasted Republican lawmakers for trying to push President Joe Biden into World War III to score partisan points.
GOP lawmakers are complaining that Biden has not done enough to help Ukraine, or isn't moving fast enough, but the "Morning Joe" host said the president's options are constrained because he's trying to avoid direct conflict with Russia, which could set off a major war with possible nuclear consequences.
"We need to be willing to offer that off ramp, we need to keep, as you said, we need to keep the gas on, step on the gas," Scarborough said. "I will say, though, and I have tried very hard not to bring politics into this at all over the past several weeks. I have been trumpeting the bipartisanship."

Marjorie Taylor Greene Inadvertently Exposes Ugly Truth About GOP In New Ad
Quote: | The reality of the GOP in 2022 is laid bare in extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) own words in a progressive group’s biting new attack ad.
Greene’s claim that lawmakers like her are “not the fringe” but “the base of the party” is put on loop in the edited, online spot that the PAC MeidasTouch released Tuesday.
The conspiracy theorist’s comments are cut alongside footage of her parroting Kremlin talking points about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “thug” and former President Donald Trump hailing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression toward his neighboring country as “genius.”
The video, below, garnered more than 340,000 views in its first 10 hours on Twitter alone.
The clip went viral as Greene faced backlash for blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia.
“You see Ukraine kept just poking the bear and poking the bear, which is Russia,” she told the Voice of Rural America Network. “Russia is being very successful in their invasion, even though we hear different things on television,” she added. Independent reports suggest Russia misjudged the strength of Ukrainian resistance and is incurring higher casualties than expected.

The Trump quote hailing Putin's genius, continues to be presented as
an act of subversion. I used to naively believe genius had to ultimately
benefit society, but having spent most of my adult life in US
business systems, I have decided genius doesn't take sides. Trump's
comment (while political anathema) may be true whether we like it or
not. At this point Putin may be a thuggish evil genius, but presuming
he's not smart seems like a huge tactical mistake to me.

Donald Trump asks Vladimir Putin for a favor - dirt on Hunter (and Joe) Biden

Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin greet each other at a summit in Osaka, Japan, in 2019.
Amid criticism of his high regard for the Russian president and accused war criminal, former president Trump used an interview this week to ask Putin to release any information he has on reports a Russian oligarch gave money a decade ago to a company co-founded by President Joe Biden's son Hunter.

"I would think Putin would know the answer to that," Trump said an interview on the "Just The News" television program. "I think he should release it. I think we should know that answer."

There is no evidence Hunter Biden engaged in illicit dealings with Russia. He is reportedly under investigation by the Justice Department over taxes in connection with business operations in China; the president's son has also been criticized by Trump and others over his financial activity in Ukraine.
Joe Biden has not been implicated in his son's business dealings, and the White House denounced Trump's request of Russia.
Republicans and Russia: Republicans are backing Ukraine in the war. So why is there support for Russia on America's far right?
Trump and Putin: Putin purposely coughed. Trump said he'd act tough for cameras, White House book reveals
"What kind of American – let alone an ex-president – thinks that this is the right time to enter into a scheme with Vladimir Putin and brag about his connections to Vladimir Putin?" said White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield. "There's only one, and it's Donald Trump."
Political opponents derided Trump for seeking dirt on Biden from Putin, especially after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has included sustained attacks on civilians. They called it the latest example of Trump toadying up to Putin, whom he he has described as "smart' and "savvy" after Putin authorized an invasion of neighboring Ukraine.
Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., called Putin and "a war criminal and a butcher," and noted that Biden has called for his removal from power.
"I am damn proud of our current President," Lieu said on Twitter. "And nauseated by the former President."

Trump, who is weighing another presidential run in 2024, said Putin may be more willing to provide information on the Bidens because the Russian leader is "not exactly a fan of our country."
The United States and European allies have imposed economic sanctions on Russia that are crippling the country's economy.
A few Republicans, including former Vice President Mike Pence and current Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, have criticized Trump's admiration of the Russian leader.

Gaffe or escalation?: Biden prompts concern after saying Putin 'cannot remain in power'
This is not the first time Trump appears to have sought domestic campaign help from a foreign country and not the first such request of Russia.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, amid news that Russia had hacked prominent Democrats and was trying to influence the election, Trump asked Putin's government to produce emails from Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. "Russia, if you’re listening – I hope you are able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," Trump said at the time. "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."
During his presidency, Trump in 2019 pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate the Bidens and hinted that U.S. military assistance to his country hinged on his answer.
The U.S. House impeached Trump over that request, but the Senate could not muster enough votes to convict him.
The organization Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said Trump has a "go-to political strategy" of asking other countries to held make his rivals look bad.
"It doesn't matter that Putin is the enemy of democracy right now," said Jordan Libowitz, communications director for CREW. "If he helps Trump, he's good in his book."

Ukraine update: Trump again boosts Putin, calling the war a 'great negotiation' that went wrong
Quote: | Donald Trump continues to heap praise on the world's most notorious authoritarians. During a Saturday rally for his slobbering acolytes, Trump called China's leader “smart” for ruling over his country "with an iron fist," praised North Korea's murderous dictator as "tough," but of course spent most of his time waffling between praise for Russian kleptocrat Vladimir Putin and halfhearted condemnations of Putin's invasion.
Mostly, however, Trump once again proved why he was the most brazenly incompetent, ignorant, and dull-minded person ever thrown into the Oval Office. To Donald Trump, deciding to murder tens of thousands for the sake of annexing a country is no different from any other botched business deal. Trump, who embodies narcissism down to every last clinical detail, still appears unable to grasp even the most catastrophic of world events in any capacity except as they relate to his own ambitions or goals.
FBI arrests man for threatening Merriam-Webster over its definition of 'girl,' 'female,' and 'woman'
There are a great many Americans who can listen to this weird, nonsensical rambling without getting the urge to shove screwdrivers in both ears, which says more about the current state of America than historians will ever be able to. The man is an incompetent, sociopathic ass.
Yes, Putin is "smart," says Donald Trump, having already explained to us that his definition of "smart" is when a person disregards all law and morality rule over others or just kills them outright. And "that's a hell of a way to negotiate," putting "200,000 troops on the border." |
