Zelensky visited the factory flanked by Pennsylvania Democrats, including Gov. Josh Shapiro (D). It is common for governors to appear at such events in their state. Johnson and Comer, however, said appearing with a political figure who was briefly a contender to serve as Harris’s running mate made the stop political in nature.
Pissy that the Ambassador didn’t involve Republicans in a tour, while Republicans have been doing everything they can to force the Ambassador’s home country to lose a war of aggression against them.
Why the fuck WOULD the Ambassador invite Republicans?
The same guy who invited Netanyahu to Congress, going around the president to do so?
Speaker Mike Johnson can go outside and play hide and go fuck himself.
Mike Johnson can go fuck himself
He doesn’t give a shit about touring the facility, he’s whining he and his compatriots were justifiably relegated to the kids table because they aren’t serious, responsible adults or politicians. Fuck Mike Johnson.
Maybe if your caucus didn’t do everything they possibly can to shoot Ukraine in the foot they would be more receptive to including your party. Get fucked Mike, go check on your son’s porn habits you weirdo
I support most of what you said.
…but I’m unclear on the context of shaming his son for looking at porn? Is his son like 5 years old or something? I don’t see what’s wrong with his son looking at porn, assuming his son is an adult?
Because they share access to a creepy porn viewing tattling/shaming app, and he was underage when it began https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/21/mike-johnson-covenant-eyes-anti-porn-app
It isn’t shaming his son, it is shaming Mike Johnson for being creepy with his son.
Because Mike Johnson is an extreme christian nut who spies on his children to prevent them from seeing porn.

Demonstrate as much opposition to Russian money and influence in your politics, and I will happily consider your request.
Sincerely,

“we refer you to the answer given in Arkell vs. Pressdram”
https://proftomcrick.com/2014/04/29/arkell-v-pressdram-1971/
Dear Sir,
We act for Mr Arkell who is Retail Credit Manager of Granada TV Rental Ltd. His attention has been drawn to an article appearing in the issues of Private Eye dated 9th April 1971 on page 4. The statements made about Mr Arkell are entirely untrue and clearly highly defamatory. We are therefore instructed to require from you immediately your proposals for dealing with the matter.
Mr Arkell’s first concern is that there should be a full retraction at the earliest possible date in Private Eye and he will also want his costs paid. His attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of your reply.
Yours etc.
Reply:
Dear Sirs,
We acknowledge your letter of 29th April referring to Mr J. Arkell.
We note that Mr Arkell’s attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of our reply and would therefore be grateful if you could inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply is as follows: fuck off.
Yours etc.
Huh. TIL
Nice
Meanwhile Trump tries his best to interfere with Ukraine aid and has been since the beginning. Fuck him and the other Putin dick riders in Congress. You get what you deserve.
Holy fuck wow. Flat out on letterhead.
Fuck all Republicans.
You can “not want to spend time with someone” for reasons other than what their politics are.
He’s a Russian plant, I almost guarantee it.
No, he covers for and services Russian plants.
Distinction without a distance, but still.
Very unlikely. Personally compromised by russia, possible. Close to people compromised by russia and thus his decisions are effected by russian interests, I’d say almost probably but not quite to the 90% threshold.
Well, he is a Republican so that is a safe bet.
Russian stooge says what?
Meanwhile Russia’s spraying the country with a firehose of lies, and illegally funneling money in to influence the election. IIRC Johnson got a hefty campaign donation from Russia, which he had to return when it was noticed.
But no, this is clearly the real outrage. Just because he didn’t endorse any politician or party and didn’t appear with any presidential candidate doesn’t mean that this wasn’t obviously election interference. Just look what he’s doing, reminding people that Ukraine exists and shaking hands with American workers who build the shells that are helping to save his country. What could be more sinister?
For real though, the pro-Putin wing is desperate to spin this story because it clearly shows how full of shit they are when they bitch about spending money on Ukraine instead of keeping it in the US. Supporting Ukraine isn’t just good for upholding the international order, safeguarding allies, and degrading Russia’s capabilities for remarkably little cost, but it’s also supporting domestic manufacturing jobs.
Mike is barely in control of his party, just ignored them and Donnie by “funding the government” (what a controversy!) and is probably about to lose his job (either by his party, or by election). Zelenskyy should not pay this stunt much attention; just have someone privately tell them what they want to hear, and carry on.
Republicans are such babies. I don’t know what they expected lmao
