The GOP’s old guard know what’s happening here. President Ronald Reagan must be turning over in his grave.
As the House reconvenes after its Easter break on Tuesday, embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson has vowed to cajole recalcitrant Republicans into finally pushing through a critical and long-delayed aid package for Ukraine.
Johnson faces stiff opposition, if not open rebellion, from the right-flank of his own party, where extreme MAGA isolationists like Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have threatened to oust him if he pushes for more aid for Kyiv.
In February, Trump posted that the U.S. should only provide foreign aid as a “loan.” He then came out against a foreign package that would have provided for both Israel and Ukraine. Ally Taylor Greene is just picking up his baton. But such chaotic isolationism is short-sighted and wrong-headed. Ukraine is doing the U.S. and the world an essential service by keeping its Russian invader in check. The geopolitical stakes are historically high, as Taylor Greene would no doubt realize if she bothered opening a history book or taking a quick glance at a European map.
Did you forget the part where they are both Republicans? The FBI, NSA, and CIA are filled with cult45 and other fascists. Always have been.
Agree, but I’ve got this notion that these Republicans are what about history and geopolitics and know what Russia is up to, which gives you a much different perspective than a loon republican who has been bought
