Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Wednesday slammed President Joe Biden for sending more military aid to Ukraine, and said that things would be better off if Ukrainians just gave up their efforts to resist the Russian invasion.
In a Facebook address to her supporters, Greene laid out the case against helping the Ukrainians with more weapons.
“If we truly care about suffering and death on our television screens, we cannot fund more of it by sending money and weaponry to fight a war they cannot possibly win!” she said. “The only effect of more arms and more money from America will be to prolong the war!”
Greene went on to say that America was giving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his people “false hope about a war they can’t win.”
In fact, many military experts think that Russia’s invasion has broadly stalled, and Ukraine reports that it has killed four different Russian generals after less than a month of fighting, which suggests that the possibility for victory by the Ukrainians is far from hopeless.
Greene concluded by saying that she wanted to stop the Ukrainain arms shipments because “as Christians” she didn’t want to produce “any more human suffering.”
Watch the video below.
Notice that she never mentioned that Russia should pull back or stop but that all her Christian love of life was directed at the Ukrainians stopping defending themself. I wonder which one is her reason, the white supremacy of Russia, the religious takeover of public life, or the hateful attempt to erase the LGBTQ+. Is she a paid sponsor of Putin’s or just a useful idiot like her beloved cult leader tRump?

Pat Robertson: Biden Should Threaten To Nuke Russia
“We have the firepower to wipe out every Russia city – just one Trident submarine – and of course we aren’t using it and have no intention of using it.
“But why doesn’t somebody in the administration call Putin’s bluff? He’s bluffing! And every time he says, ‘Well, if you do that, we’re going to escalate.’
“Oh no you’re not, old buddy. We’re gonna do you if you try to do us and we’ll make it worse and you know it.
“Putin knows we’re really powerful. He doesn’t have much of an army. He doesn’t have much of an economy. It’s a tiny economy and he’s playing a bluff.
“But unfortunately we have a man in charge in Washington who doesn’t like to stand up to bluffs. He folds his winning hand every single time.” – Pat Robertson, on today’s The 700 Club.

Scottie's Playtime 
Growing up in the 1970s, we had sex education in the 6th, 8th, and 10th grades. We talked about sex, reproduction, contraception, drugs and alcohol, and many other “adult” topics. I don’t recall anyone ever feeling uncomfortable. Republicans are soooo repressed.
The truth is these laws will try to erase LGBTQ+ people from classrooms, school, the public, and the media. I posted today how in the intent section of the bill it stresses it is to prevent discussion of anything dealing with these subjects in schools, most definitely in the younger grades. To the point that a teacher in a same sex marriage can not display their family as straight people can, can not talk about their spouse. Kids with two dads or two moms can not talk about their families. It creates a second class not as good as the straight families situation.
I’d have some understanding of this cartoon if it weren’t for the fact that 1) Biden has approved more permits to drill on federal land since becoming president than the orange one, and, 2) the gas companies are sitting on 9,000 previously approved permits to drill on government owned land that they have not so much as parked a drilling rig on to date, and, 3) the oil companies just launched the largest drilling rig in the Gulf to date. Let’s cut through the mid-term bull$hit and focus on actual data and not the rhetoric of the right or left. Thank you.
/s The best thing we Americans can possibly do, is to pump all the oil available within our borders out of the ground as fast as humanly possible (and get it into the air as quick as we can) because that way we will never be dependent on foreign oil. Because we have unlimited oil within the United States and it will not only never run out, it will never even become more scarce. /s
