There’s certain votes where we should just flush the nay’s down the toilet. This is one of those.
These 9
House RepublicansRussian Assets, voted against a resolution condemning the Russian abduction of Ukrainian children.There fixed it.
Condemning the Russians committing the warcrime of genocide by abducting Ukranian children.
Am I allowed to call them traitors as a Canadian?
They’re traitors to democracy, so yes.
More like traitors to humanity. Who the fuck is pro child abduction? And what kind of idiots still vote for those abominations?
Those 9 dick wagons, that’s who.
Also Putin, his sycophants, and the dictators and wannabe dictators like them
And therefore the world, as is tradition.
Sounds like they need to learn about deomcracy and its merits in Helldivers
I, too, would like to see them be dropped from orbit on a different planet/moon.
We shouldn’t pollute other planets.
So fire them into the sun.
Ah yes, the pro-child-trafficking wing of the Republican party.
That disgusting hate-filled creature MTG just has to be on the moral wrong side of absolutely everything, doesn’t she?
I would posit she’s an AI creation of the worst congressperson possible, but AI isn’t good enough to get things wrong/right that consistently. She’s a miracle of abhorrent nature to be this wrong this often.
When hallucinations become the wanted output
May they be known as the Niggardly Nine.
Removed, not because the word itself is inherently offensive, it’s not. It’s because the people who use it over “begrudgingly”, “stingy”, or “miserly” never do it out of good faith.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/niggardly
“The words niggard and niggardly are etymologically unrelated to the highly offensive and inflammatory racial slur euphemistically referred to as the N-word, despite the words’ visual and auditory resemblance to it. Because of that resemblance, however, both niggard and niggardly are often taken to be offensive.”
just to set the record straight…
I use the word, specifically to point-out that it’s UNrelated to the n-word.
WHEN we kowtow to disinformation,
THEN we are accommodating disinformation’s rule.
Fight it tooth & nail, ever mm of the way.
Ideological disinformation, national-narcissism disinformation, historical disinformation, linguistic disinformation, Scientism’s disinformation & other pseudoscientific disinformation, ALL of it.
Lmao, okay bro
🆗
The idea was to use their biggotry against them, but apparently using words as they’re intended is too much now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
After all, they’re witholding their support on a resolution out of spite.
Tf? Reported ngl.
Found Marjorie Taylor-Greene Lemmy account.
I rest my case, your honor.
Racist dick bag brought in the n word for literally no reason.
niggard ≠ n-word, improve your vocabulary.
Withholding for the sake of meanness; stingy, miserly.
Fuck you and any mods who don’t remove your filth lmao
Anti-intellectualism in action, folks.

Bro wake the fuck up from your lil racist hell-hole. You’re just throwing around insanely racist terms and being like “looooolll just go get a dictionary.” I know what the word meant when your old ass was in grade school, and I also know exactly how 99% of the population takes that word today in 2024.
Radlibs strike again, pretending to be super woke and smarterer than all the people who just couldn’t find their racist thesaurus
Not a single brain cell amongst them.
Ugh. Warren Davidson of Ohio. I know people in his district. He’s a shithead. Took over for John Boehner, and carried Boehner’s tradition of being the second-shittiest Rep from Ohio, after Jim Jordan of course.
Remember when we thought John Boehner was the most orange shithead in the Republican party? And then Trump was like, “hold my Adderall.”
You know, far be it from me to tell the FBI and the NSA how to do their jobs, but maybe, like, they should be investigated.
(who am I kidding. Feebs. do your fucking jobs and arrest these traitors.)
I’m pretty sure Marge is the Capitol pipe bomber, so they should probably have a discerning look at that while they’re at it.
I’m not sure there’s enough evidence to support the idea that MTG is the culprit, but boy does my heart flutter on the wind of a song at the idea of her getting caught somehow and having a meltdown as she is dragged away to jail.
There was a sting the FBI ran years ago that caught a bunch of politicians red handed, good times.
Marjorie Taylor Greene? Say it ain’t so!
What’s their reasoning though?
To prove to the other Republicans that their voters don’t care at all, they can just do whatever they want and will still get re-elected.
I think it goes something like this: “If I vote against Russia’s interests, Putin might release some of the abundant kompromat he has on me.”
I tried checking their Facebooks but none had mentioned this bill.
Ju$t feel$ right.
Using congress to “condemn” things is ineffective virtue signaling.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Tuesday, the House overwhelmingly passed a resolution to condemn Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children in the two years since the war began.
Sponsored by Democratic Rep. Susan Wild of Pennsylvania, the resolution holds the Russian government “responsible for the wrongful and illegal kidnapping of children from Ukraine” and states that doing so “amounts to genocide.”
Since the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, thousands of children have been abducted and taken into Russia, and it’s unclear what’s happening to them.
The Republican votes against the resolution come as most of the party has gradually turned against providing further US military aid to the besieged eastern European country.
Most Republican senators voted against a $93.5 billion aid package that includes more than $60 billion for the Ukraine war effort, and House Speaker Mike Johnson has thus far refused to hold a vote on the package, in part owing to fears that doing so could turn hard-right Republicans in his own conference against him.
Meanwhile, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has promoted Russia’s image via a recent trip to Moscow, including an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin that even some GOP lawmakers tuned into.
The original article contains 284 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 31%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
How many congress members are condemning israel kidnapping over 140 Palestinian children from the west bank and torturing them?
Selective outrage strikes again.
What’s the point you’re trying to make here?
That getting mad at Ukrainian kids being kidnapped but helping Palestinian kids being kidnapped is hypocrisy.
Does that make getting mad at Ukrainian kids being kidnapped unacceptable, then?
To Linker you can only be mad about one thing at a time
And that thing is specifically Isreal
Being selectively outraged about it is unacceptable and hypocritical.
Selective outrage strikes again.
Yep, you’ve yet again attempted to whataboutism your way into a different conversation.
You have a seriously selective outrage towards one specific issue and will find a way to just cram it in anywhere, wontcha?
What does this condemnation against Russia do? Is it going to hurt Putin’s feelings?
What would a condemnation of Israel do? Would it hurt Hamas’ feelings?
If it is publicly admitted israel is committing war crimes, it becomes illegal to continue sending them weapons.
Still playing the whataboutism game, eh?
No moral high ground for Genocide supporters.
Selective outrage strikes again.
{Pats top of head and rub stomach at the same time}
Any overlap with them and the officials who went to Russia on the 4th of July?
I found it hard to recognize this woman in this photo. She is usually hollering like a wild monkey while harassing other religions or children victims of school shootings. This one is a different expression for sure.
