Treason never prospers

for if treason prospers, none dare call it treason.

Headlines from Twitter:

Mike Pompeo praises Putin while bashing Biden

Trump says Putin's military move on Ukraine is "genius."

Newt Gingrich: Putin is pushing day by day and has no fear of NATO because he has no fear of the United States or its President.

Boris Johnson asked by Labour about his decision to accept donations from the wife of one of Putin’s former ministers, responds by accusing his opponents of "casual Russophobia” for raising the issue.

House republicans bash Biden for walking (picture of Biden walking off camera after speech today) "This is what weakness on the world stage looks like"

Ted Cruz Gets Brutal Reminder After Claiming Biden Is 'Best Thing that Ever Happened' to Putin

Marco Rubio blames Biden for Putin invading the Ukraine. Says “weakness” invites aggression

Of course they're going to try to blame Biden. We can't let them. It's their fault. Tucker Carlson and Fox News openly propagandized for Putin in Ukraine's darkest hour. Republicans supported an assault on the United States on January 6th and did not back Biden when their country called them to stand united against an adversary.

Dems are going to have to say it. It's true.
