Colorado's Michael Bennet, just exploded in the Senate chamber. He was reacting as a member of the Intelligence Committee to Trump's order to cut off all American intelligence assistance to Ukraine. And he used the GOP's main deity, Ronald Reagan, to call out the republicans who are wanting Trump to be seen as peacemaker, citing RR's theme of "peace through strength". Bennet was rightfully livid. I'm hoping to find a video, well worth watching.

The objection came, not surprisingly, from Thune's bestest sniveller John Barrasso.

Proud to say that Bennet is my senator.

Thanks to generalbetrayus for getting the video:

1. Note that ASS is a significant part of BarrASSo.

2. 😹

[boonecreek]

10. I call him emBarraso.

What a jerk.

[FoxNewsSucks]

23. Oops, I always thought it was spelled "Barasshole"

[kwolf68]

3. More is coming

The Dems know what is right and eventually shit gonna boil over. It's happening. I will judge our people how they defend our Democracy in these trying times. Rep. Al Green, Rep Crockett, Rep Raskin, Senator Shiff, Bernie (he needs no introduction he's Bernie and he wouldn't even give a shit about not being called Senator Sanders), Rep Swalwell and a few others are starting to sound the alarms. Fight the fascists or become a subject. Our nation is at stake here, this isn't Reagan putting idiot James Watt into the government as interior sec, this is Goering, Goebbels , Himmler level shit.

And before I get the "our republicans are not executing" innocent people. That's right. Neither did those men I mention above...at first. Fuck this.

[Seinan Sensei]

26. Not executing innocents

But
People die (are killed) when denied food, when denied healthcare, when denied vaccines, when denied safe conditions at work, when denied clean air and water

4. Good to know, madamesilverspurs! Colorado

is my Home state and I always pay attention to what's happening there!

[senseandsensibility]

5. Always liked and appreciated him

[BeyondGeography]

6. One of our top takedown artists

Just ask Ted Cruz.

[AmericaUnderSiege]

7. Gratifying, but not a good sign.

Them intel boys prefer to keep it close. Things must be getting gruesome.

[paleotn]

8. When Dems can coopt Reagan, you know the GQP has gone waaaaaay off the rails.

They're literally aligning with Reagan's axis of evil. And calling themselves "peacemakers". Such horseshit! At least Reagan had the good sense to know who the goddamn enemies were....and are. They haven't changed much in all these years.

[Hekate]

15. What you said

[Amaryllis]

9. IF you find a link later, please post.

11. That's right. What Traitor Trump is doing is directly opposed to Saint Ronny Reagan's

position on Russia/Soviet Union. Everyday we should remind MAGA that he is in opposition to their hero.

[Beartracks]

12. Protecting Ukraine is an investment in global security, of which the US is a beneficiary.

That's how investments work, Republicans. I thought you dumbasses were supposed to be the "business" party, and this is the business of diplomacy.
It takes investment to reap rewards. Same with education. Same with healthcare. Duh. There's no rocket science here, just the nuts and bolts of diplomacy, governance, and national defense. It's too bad all you Republicans hate government since it seems too hard, looks too complicated and expensive, and serves even people you personally wouldn't bother with. Get your lips off Trump's ass or get out of the Capitol and let real patriots get in there make progress on the Founding Fathers' dream of liberty, equality, and prosperity for all.



(Imaginary rant to Republicans, Madame, not to you! )

[Justice matters.]

13. Not only that, as most of the funds "given" to Ukraine end up in...

the Military Industrial Complex's bank accounts to pay their US-based employees...

and their investors dividends... when was the last time Republicans were against THAT??

Not anymore! They have to get inline to placate their orange jeezusss liar and his couch-f*cker.

[Beartracks]

14. And then those US-based employees spend their paychecks JUST LIKE REAL PEOPLE !

There's some in there about how Republicans think Federal employees don't have real jobs and their paycheck money goes into a blackhole that somehow sucks it out of the national economy.

16. He's my senator too.

And we have a friend who lived in Kiev when the war started. She came to live with us for six months, then moved back to Europe. She's now afraid she may never get to go home.

I'm glad Bennet made a stink. I wish Hick would be a little louder.

[evilhime]

17. always have liked Bennet

When he ran for president he was the candidate I wanted . . . maybe he’ll try again!

[HereForTheParty]

18. Stop fucking praising Reagan

Jesus.

[madamesilverspurs]

20. Nobody is praising Reagan.

Rather, his words are turned back on the party that deified him, suggesting that he would not appreciate their blasphemy. It's kind of like when it's pointed out that Christian Nationalism is an oxymoron. In other words, the present GOP has no idea what the hell they're doing.

.

[generalbetrayus]

25. I'm pretty sure the current GOP knows exactly what it is doing. The problem is that to the current GOP, Ronald Reagan

is Ronald WHO?

And I'm proud today, too, that he is my Senator.

[Bettie]

19. Well, hopefully, Ukraine is

not sharing info with the US, because that would go right to Russia.

[3catwoman3]

21. Bennet doesn't often speak out, but when he does...

…he really lets loose.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. GREAT

I must say, we haven't heard much out of him since the day he was elected.......

[generalbetrayus]

24. Bennet video

[world wide wally]

27. OK, America...Answer me this:

When has America ever pulled their support from an ally during an ongoing war?
Are we sure about making America great "again"?
