Summary
Republican lawmakers who have condemned Putin hesitate to criticize Trump’s recent pro-Russia stance.
Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for the war, called President Zelenskyy a “dictator,” and demanded Ukraine surrender rare earth minerals in exchange for U.S. aid.
While some GOP officials reaffirmed support for Ukraine, they avoided directly challenging Trump. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration negotiated a Russia-Ukraine peace deal without initially including Ukraine.
Zelenskyy rejected Trump’s minerals demand, warning of dangerous precedents.
Well, if you take them at face value, then the things they said were important to them back in the Reagan era were just lies, since today’s MAGA-Republicans don’t follow anything like them now.
But even having said that, supporting a Russian dictator invading another country and NOT supporting NATO, that’s such a un-Republican thing to do that its hard to believe they can even act that way.
Half-kidding, but I’m thinking that there are lots of photos of political people doing compromising things being held over their heads.

No I think you’re right. I think based on some of the crazy stuff that has come out (that leak just as Hawthorne blowing up Republicans with his dumbfuckery), that there is a level you can’t reach in the party unless they either have something on you to keep you under control, or you give them something to ensure loyalty.
Maybe it’s conspiratorial but it’s not crazy like the government is hiding lizard people or Hitler is hiding in a base on the far side of the moon.
Going down that rabbit hole for a second, if true, then how in the F does the FBI/CIA/Military handle that scenario, when the political branch of the goverment has been compromised?
