Libs Blame Ukraine on... Ron DeSantis?!?

Note: The governor of Florida is not responsible for U.S. foreign policy

The new talking point has gone out: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is all the fault of Ron DeSantis.

Robert Costa @costareports

Gov. DeSantis just attacked the press in his speech at CPAC, calling it a "blizzard of lies." Said the press is intent on propping up the "regime" in the United States, which he calls the "Brandon administration." Speech ended at 1:55 p.m. ET. No mention of Russia or Ukraine.

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

You know where people who cherish freedom are looking today? To Ukraine—about which DeSantis, a former member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, apparently didn’t have the courage to say a word, because he’s scared Donald Trump or Tucker Carlson might criticize him. https://t.co/r8g4HtX05Y

Ron DeSantis tells CPAC: "People look to Florida as citadel of freedom who are chafing under authoritarian rule all over the world." His example of authoritarian rule is Australia

Amanda Carpenter @amandacarpenter

Ron DeSantis is deep into his CPAC speech blasting the loss of freedom and...not one mention of Russia's invasion yet.

Vaughn Hillyard @VaughnHillyard

*Absolutely zero mention of Ukraine/Russia by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in his CPAC speech as Russia actively attacks & invades Ukraine, a U.S. ally.*

This is a weird thing for libs to complain about, because then they turn right around and scold us for criticizing Biden. After four long years of staunch #Resistance, now they tell us dissent is treason. If DeSantis had said anything about Ukraine, these same people wouldn’t like that either. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

“Why doesn’t DeSantis care about our allies?” I dunno. Why doesn’t Biden? Isn’t that his job?

Did Ron DeSantis make Joe Biden say this?

Biden on Russia (2012): Romney acts like he thinks the Cold War is still on: Russia is still our major adversary. We have disagreements with Russia, but they're united with us on Iran. They're working closely with us.

Did Ron DeSantis make Joe Biden do this?

The New York Times @nytimes

The U.S. met with China over three months to present intelligence showing Russia’s troop buildup near Ukraine and to urge Beijing to help avert war, U.S. officials said. Chinese officials rebuffed the U.S. and shared the information with Moscow.

nyti.msU.S. Officials Repeatedly Urged China to Help Avert War in UkraineAmericans presented Chinese officials with intelligence on Russia’s troop buildup in hopes that President Xi Jinping would step in, but were repeatedly rebuffed.

Biden would be utterly humiliated right now if he had any idea what’s going on.

The governor of Florida is not responsible for U.S. foreign policy. The president of the United States is. But he’s currently a Democrat, so the Democrat press must protect him by attacking his opponents, no matter what they say or don’t say.

If you want my statement on the Russian invasion of Ukraine so you can complain about it, here goes:

F🟩ck Putin, f🟩ck Russia, and f🟩ck anybody who has anything nice to say about them. Nuke Moscow till it’s a big goddamn pile of glowing borscht. Make Chernobyl look like a night light. Let’s see how the Bolshoi fares when all the dancers are mutants with five legs.

There’s my statement, hacks. Have fun.

As for the lamebrain who rescued Joe Biden from obscurity back when he was in his late 60s, it looks like King Barry has changed his mind about Putin:

"Governor Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that Al Qaeda is a threat. Because a few months ago, when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia... The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back."

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Last night, Russia launched a brazen attack on the people of Ukraine, in violation of international law and basic principles of human decency. Here’s my statement on what it means, and what should happen next. https://t.co/Wa0C8XGwvK

Yesterday I was depressed about this crap, and today I’m pissed off. If there’s a Hell, I hope Vladimir Putin roasts in it and soon.

In closing, here’s a Russki getting owned. Good. Make ‘em pay for this unprovoked invasion.

Biden nominates Ketanji Brown Jackson to be first Black woman to sit on Supreme Court | @jaketapper

cnn.comBiden to nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson to be first Black woman to sit on Supreme CourtPresident Joe Biden has selected Ketanji Brown Jackson as his nominee to the Supreme Court, according to a source who has been notified about the decision, setting in motion a historic confirmation process for the first Black woman to sit on the highest court in the nation.

Well, she’s black. And a woman. You’d better not ask any questions beyond that, if you know what’s good for you.

I’m a Wordle addict, and you can count me among the grouches who think the game has been ruined since the New York Times started publishing it. First they started banning words, like “slave.” You literally can’t type in the word “slave” because slavery is bad. If Wordle allowed the word “slave,” it might mean the return of slavery?

Then it got even worse: Yesterday’s word was “bloke.” That’s right: “bloke.” A chiefly British word for “man” or “fellow.”

I’m sorry, is New York located in England now? Is it just plain York? Are we a British colony again? Excuse me, but I’m an AMERICAN and we fought a WAR so I don’t have to know what a bunch of LIMEYS call each other.

“Bloke.” Cram it up your arse, you daft pillock.

I don’t remember where or how I first saw MASH, but I was definitely too young to see Hot Lips Houlihan naked. They never did that on the TV show! God rest her beautiful soul.
