You’re going to take this claim of staff blame at face value? You think staff collected 30 signatures, including the CPC chair, without them knowing? Were they forged? Sounds like staff willing to take the fall for members who didn’t like the blowback. https://t.co/Ae3bxTg7y0

Jayapal throws staff under the bus for the gentle suggestion of diplomacy to end a war, then pleads guilty to the greatest crime in Washington today: giving the appearance of agreeing with the other party.

Letter suggesting diplomacy is “withdrawn.” pic.twitter.com/gaYEbSZV4X
This retraction is an expression of 100% support for fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian. “Every war ends with diplomacy, and this one will too after Ukrainian victory.”

So diplomacy can only happen “after Ukrainian victory.” For Zelensky, that means retaking Crimea. pic.twitter.com/22fNcSSk6o
In response to intense bipartisan anger over the letter they issued yesterday on Ukraine, House Progressives issue a new statement vowing full and complete loyalty to Biden’s war policies and full support to funding war in Ukraine without limits:https://t.co/QCZA4TT8FZ

Holy shit! The humiliation of @RepJayapal and the House Progressive Caucus just got worse, even when it appeared it couldn’t.

Her degrading reversal of their Ukraine letter after 1 day wasn’t enough. Now they’re formally “retracting” it, blaming staff.https://t.co/PjM7uRR0w9
Honestly, I’d rather resign my seat in Congress than subject myself to a spectacle this humiliating. They couldn’t even stand behind the slightest war dissent for 24 hours.

Also, this statement is a lie: the vast majority of GOP fully supports Biden’s war policies in Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/fZTQD8phEt
it’s sadly on brand that progressives’ “let’s maybe try to avoid World War III and a nuclear holocaust” letter is being rescinded out of cowardice

House progressives just withdrew their Ukraine letter:

“The letter was drafted several months ago, but unfortunately was released by staff without vetting…it is a distraction at this time and we withdraw the letter.” pic.twitter.com/5rUxkMkuDE

After just 24 hours, members of the congressional progressive caucus withdrew their letter urging the President to seek a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine.

At this point, I suppose it’s in order for me to withdraw my statement of appreciation for their courage. https://t.co/WUACv7l11g pic.twitter.com/tzXS4YEP0p

Tulsi Gabbard was right.
The Democratic Party is completely controlled by an elitist cabal of warmongers who can’t even entertain the idea of engaging in diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine.
“Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, on Tuesday announced the group had retracted a letter that asked President Joe Biden to directly engage with Russia in an effort to end the war in Ukraine.
The retraction of the letter, which was sent Monday, came after the progressives’ effort to press the president to take a more aggressive strategy on Ukraine was met with intense pushback from fellow Democrats and some Ukrainians.
In a statement announcing the retraction, Jayapal blamed the letter’s release on a staff error. …”
Do you remember when Kyle Kulinski criticized the “so-called” antiwar protesters who challenged AOC?
They must repent and do penance for their outrageous sin against the imperialist war god – or their cushy political careers will soon be over.
They could even end up in prison with a ten year sentence for sedition, like Eugene Debs, in the middle of his presidential election campaign!
Pointy hat parasites and the Magic Soil exceptionalists of the Manifest Destiny Kwanstain are meant for each other.
I thought her name said PayPal.
All the POC’s are getting their mind right. Big Jew says—–You need to get your mind right, Kanye and Pramila.
The progs like to pose a brave rebels against the Establishment. But when push come to shove, they reveal themselves as the bought-off Establishment toadies that they really are.
No different than the R-jerseys. The Kosher-Nosetra owns them all. Break the omerta and their stellar lucrative political careers are over – just like that.
Has this “Progressive Caucus” (so-called) engaged in insider trading like Nancy Pelosi, Kevin McCarthy, Mitch “the turtle” McConnell and the vast majority of the scumbags in Congress? Did they get enough money from their dirty deals or do they “need” more? They say they are opposed to Big Bidness so cut them some slack on the insider trading thing, OK?
Washington is an expensive place to live, ya know and they don’t make enough on their salaries. Insider trading is one of the perquisites of office and nobody gets hurt so what’s the big deal? No doubt even staunch Left Wing nutters like Bernie the Bolshevik do it too.
No doubt Merrick Garfinkle’s Department of Social Justice let it be known to the (so-called) “Progressive Caucus” that insider trading is still against the law, even for the scumbags in Congress. If an investigation were opened into their financial dealings would indictments follow? How about Ilhan Omar, marrying her brother, falsifying immigration documents (a felony) and skimming the take from her reelection funds? Does Ilhan Omar want to be stripped of her U.S. citizenship and sent back to Somalia?
The Deep State has the goods on all the members of Congress and many others, too. Their derelict family members like Hunter Biden are also a source of leverage. The Deep State can drop the hammer any time they want but it’s much better to hang the Sword of Damocles over their rotten heads than to cut the string. A gentle reminder of their innumerable misdeeds brings these loathsome creatures to heel quickly ensuring they do the right thing.
Al Capone (supposedly) really explained how it works: You get more with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.
Perhaps fewer Twitter links; some are redundant, and with so many the page loads slowly.
link — Everyone should read this @RepRaskin statement because it’s basically a manifesto declaring Progressive Holy War against Russia by way of Ukraine. I honestly think they’d be OK getting incinerated in a nuclear holocaust if it meant staying true to this ideological “struggle”
This is how America’s ‘elected representatives’ spend their time — the US is heading toward WWIII, with Jews and mystery meats beating the war drums — just like the Founding Fathers would have wanted.
Jamie Raskin considers it a win no matter the outcome. Pesky Orthodox Christians are dying every day on both sides, he hates them both. When finally the war ends Mr. Zelensky and his pals will get in their Gulfstreams, already loaded with thousands of pounds of gold, currency and other valuables and fly thousands of miles away, safe and sound. And rich, too.
For me, this is easy to figure. All I need to do is look around here, to see how the Green Party switched on a dime after February 24 from being the most anti-war to being the most pro-war.
What has been going on is that the ruling class has successfully been able to sell the a lot of people in the Western world that the geopolitics of the Russia-Ukraine War are perfectly congruent with current year internal Western political divisions. What I mean by that is that the ruling class has convinced the social issue left that being against Russia and Putin and being pro-Ukraine are the social liberal-y things to do, and especially the LGBTQ-BLT-BBQ-LOL-y thing to do. To wit: All the Ukraine flags flying next to rainbow flags in the gay parts of Western cities.
Looking back, if the forces that wanted the Vietnam War would have tried to sell Vietnam in terms of helping black people and the civil rights movement, instead of relying on patriotism and anti-communism, then there would have never been an anti-war movement.
