If you agree with this, please copy and paste it to any who still call themselves "Republicans".

This is not intended as a threat, but just as fair warning.

YOUR "president" and many of his cult members who still worship him are now openly, repeatedly and disgustingly praising Putin's totally unprovoked invasion of a nation that sought only peaceful coexistence.

You have heard them.

We have heard them.

Sadly, the world has heard them.

WHY HAVE WE NOT HEARD FROM YOU?

Not joining in their traitorous lies is NOT ENOUGH! If you do not join with the majority of us, ---the decent patriotic majority--- and CONDEMN these quislings WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

It is not just that we will never vote for you. That's a "given". But, beyond that, we will point you out whenever and wherever you show your face and tell all within earshot "There! That's one of the traitors who praised the Russian KGB butcher who murdered innocent men, women and children in Ukraine! JUST LIKE PUTIN'S PUPPET, TRUMP!"

Personally, I will also loudly ask if you think you'll ever get the blood off your hands..

The time to make your choice is now, not tomorrow or next week. You cannot honorably "wait and see how this goes. You either support the people of Ukraine or you choose to stand with Putin and Trump---and Pompeo and Carlson and-------

We are listening: SPEAK!

Anyone notice that when Ukrainians crowd gun stores to buy AR-10s and AR-15s, the media

describes their purchases as "assault rifles", NOT "deer rifles" or "hunting rifles"?

The parallels are striking. Putin "created" Ukrainian "threats" to Russia and is willing to

destroy both nations in response.

Trump "created" a "rigged and stolen election" and is willing to destroy our nation in response.

Is it any wonder these two are a mutual admiration society?

Both need to go.

As I listen to the opinions being voiced about "how far Putin will go", I am struck by

how many times those who expressed fear of a massacre,---a slaughter, an extermination, a genocide---were quieted by the assurance that "they just wouldn't DO that!"

Those who are convinced that reason will always triumph over whatever monsters arise should review photos of Hitler's ovens and Pol Pot's "killing fields".

One does not negotiate with monsters. One does not forgive them or give them quarter.

Monsters must be destroyed.

Putin puts me in mind of an abusive husband standing outside his ex's home screaming

"If I can't have you, NO ONE WILL!" as he pounds on the door.

Whether prayers or good vibes or waves of positive energy or simply our kind good wishes for

peace and safety, can we start a "silent" thread for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine this evening?

I know that some very talented people read and post here. Are there any really good "photoshoppers"

who might consider a suggestion?

Picture a somewhat bedraggled Uncle Sam on a gurney, eyes agog and screaming, as Sen. Rick Scott bursts out of his chest, bloody "11 Point Plan for America" clutched in his taloned hand---a la "Alien"!

Just a suggestion.

In the past several days, I have read and heard about polls taken in Russia. These polls, we are

told, show that the Russian people overwhelmingly support Putin's leadership and that a majority favor going to war "to keep Ukraine from joining NATO."

"Polls"?

"Taken in Russia"?

Do we really believe this is anything but propaganda?

Aside from the fact that Putin nearly totally controls the media and most have no idea what is really happening and what is at risk, do we not realize that people who DARE to have opinions not 100% in support of whatever Vlad decides often "disappear". An alarming number of "unpatriotic complainers" seem to jump out of high windows and splatter on the sidewalk.

IMHO, there is no such thing as an "accurate" or "legitimate" Russian poll.

Vlad's intimidation---or liquidation---of his critics and his iron control of what Russian media can report about him are just a couple of the reasons that Trump so envied him.
