The skeleton key to understanding reactionary conservatism is quite simple: they are scared, all the time, of everything.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

"Appeasement at Munich: World Wars, Past and Possible"
The symmetry between Germany-Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Russia-Ukraine in 2022 is uncanny, and pausing for a moment on the resemblances might help us to take a broader view of today.

It hasn’t been 24 hrs yet and the bastard already started his fascist plans. Pardon violent insurrectionists but deny birthright citizens. Turn drug prices back to big pharma. Screw the people and help the oligarchs. This is worse than I ever imagined.

Dear MAGA,
The inauguration will be a private affair. Just Trump & the broligarchs in the rotunda.
No seating for you.
No special events to acknowledge your support.
Not to worry. There will be emails later urging you to buy Trump coins, shoes, bibles, hats etc.
Keep that cash coming.
Be best.
