Trump wants the be the Putin of the United States. Those in the Republican party who want to be in his favor when he turns the US into the new Russia know they have to oppose aid to Ukraine if they want into the American oligarch club. If she is all about security at the southern border, why did she oppose the border bill in the House? Trump told her to oppose the bill or he would ruin her.
David S.
Don’t blame the disaster at our Southern border on the R’s. This mess
Is completely on Biden and the Dems. This mess started at the
National Dem Presidential Primary debate. Every last Dem on that debate
stage **. pledged free Everything to any illegal crossing our border**.
Second, Biden rescinded all of Trumps border policies on day one in office.
If you fear a Putin type of President taking over in the U.S., you should
fear Biden and the Dems.
Keith:
Why, because Biden’s gone on the record claiming that he’d be a dictator if re-elected? Can you show me those quotes? How many times has Joe Biden claimed he should get a third term?
Because he’s got people working on a plan to fire everyone in the Civil Services who doesn’t profess fealty to him over the Constitution?
Much like Hunter Biden is being prosecuted for things the Trump kids actually pulled off, you’ve managed to convince yourself that Joe Biden is going to do what Donald Trump is clearly and repeatedly saying out loud that he WILL do.
Just a reminder, Republicans got everything they wanted in border policies from Democrats and they turned it down. They have no interest in border security, other than it being a continual issue to rally voters. They don’t actually want to stop migrants from coming here. The big money behind Republicans has no interest in paying more for workers. Heck, the same farmers who vote for Republicans will tell you they need migrants or we have no crops.
As with abortion, Republicans should most fear getting what they claim they want.
David you are spot on. Keith you very much are not.
Joe spot on.
Lead pipes and paint chips for the Boomers have led us here.
Door Joe,
The ones you fear are Biden and the Dems. It is your Dems that constantly
punch down on the white working class voters. Look at Hillary Clinton
and Dem diehards such as Katie Couric.
How can anyone take her seriously?
She calls bombing her motherland a “genocide” but is against aid,
She says she’s retiring then runs for reelection,
She calls Indiana a Border State but votes against border security.
Who is she representing?
Today’s MAGA Republicans are just a fraud interested in giving the common man some laughs at punching down on some minority in exchange for rolling back Roosevelt’s New Deal because the ultra rich want their money back.
Sure, you’re working two jobs to make ends meet and your kids will never be able to own their own house because Wall Street is buying all the starter homes to turn them into permanent renters, but we fixed that nonexistent issue with transgendered sports! Didn’t that make you forget about miserable your lot in life is, or how you’re one medical issue from bankruptcy? Vote for us again!
If you’re expecting ideological coherence or any interest in effective governance, good luck with that. I mean, Democrats giving Republicans everything they claimed to want for border security… with nothing in return like a pathway for Dreamers … and Republicans turning it down for political reasons should have exposed them as the frauds they are.
Republicans have no interest in actually doing anything. Look at the food fight they’ve had in the House the last two years.
I don’t know enough about Spartz to have more than mixed feelings about her, but it’s just possible that she might have an awareness of the seemingly limitless corruption driving the federal-level governance in Ukraine. And that the Clown Prince himself is using much of the US aid to enrich his buddies, while making sure to save plenty of remnants for Kyiv’s top-tier hairstylists, cocaine, and steroids. I mean, she DID live there. She’s more familiar with Zelenskyy’s pre-presidency goofball antics than we are.
The usual gaggle of legacy media trough-feeders while chime in and blame MAGA. See below–or above, depending on where my response appears. It must be deeply frustrating to the Liz Cheney/Nikki Haley/Nancy Pelosi/Hillary Clinton (all basically the same person) Unipartyists how even the steady stream of propaganda isn’t helping their beloved demented #46. It’s almost like many of us know that Dem’s “border deal” was a total pig and a poke, and fence sitters like Spartz risk standing on thin ice if they appease the Uniparty too much by flushing more greenbacks down a Ukrainian latrine.
IBJ’s claque of neo-liberal ex-neo-cons (they had to pivot exactly 2 degrees to go from one to the other) keep worshiping at the shrine of MNSBC and CNN AND Fox as long as they remain on the air. And Larry Fink will keep pumping other people’s money to the first two until he runs out…which of course will mean WE run out. And the surviving Koch brother will pump money into Fox.
Don’t worry, I know that by stating what a cesspit Ukraine is, I’m not throwing stones from glass houses. Because we’re no better.
Always nice to see the Putinistas check in. Vladimir has the Republican Party, led by useful idiots, fully under his control. Tell us how much you hate Reagan for ending the Cold War, “Lauren”.
Quits then decides not to quit- shows no resilience. Agree the lack of support for her own home country makes one wonder what her principles are.
She doesn’t have any
No principles = something that also characterizes Ukrainian leadership
Not saying Putin isn’t an expansionist dictator whose death would make the world a better place, but the media’s hilarious effort to cast a halo around Zelenskyy and shield him from criticism is absurd. And absurd to the tune of billions of dollars.
Spartz is a politician so I don’t expect we know her full intentions, many of which are inevitably self-serving. But certainly is aware of how Ukrainians typically engage in business and diplomacy. The backroom details between Hunter and “the Big Guy” aren’t an aberration.
And then we have China Chuck!
Both Spartz and Goodrich are MAGAs.
Safer to stick with the MAGA you know!
Actually, she was born and raised in the Soviet Union – something Putin seems to be intent on restoring. I’m not surprised by her vote.
Good on Spartz for voting for the American people and against this latest installment in our forever wars. The United States started the war in Ukraine and could end it in 10 minutes. It clearly is not in our national interest, but our military-industrial complex cares not a whit about what’s good for the U.S. population.
What has she done for her district is the key question. Is she a reasonable, rational and responsible representative. Or is she simply capitulating to the sentiments du jour or the ex-president. Who knows.
Seems odd that first she was outfitted at every event in yellow and blue, looking sad and forlorn but suddenly she does not support Ukraine. But then again, she’s most likely not feeling Ukrainian after some time in the US.
But she does appear to condone the aggression of Putin. So Putin has the right to attack any country at will? What is the justification of the attack on Ukraine and should the US adopt a total isolationist polity (of course the US is not doing so). Did trump promise to deliver Ukraine to Russia — and perhaps after the defeat of trump Putin lost patience and just decided to the country violently, Is Moldova next? Finland? The Baltics? Hungary? Is the an egoistic quest to regain what Russia lost.
She seems to not understand how legislation works. She finds something in each bill to object to on “principle” so she can reject the whole bill. Was aid to Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan perfect? Of course not, no bill is perfect. Was the border bill perfect? No. But both bills were far more beneficial and crucial in total. Playing politics and being like the spoiled little kid who quits because she doesn’t get everything she wants is unacceptable. We keep making excuses for it when “our team” does it, but that’s just badly damaging the health of our country and the world. Spartz is not helping our country however much she wants to pose otherwise.
Sellout
