So the chair of the House Ethics Committee is from Florida?

It’s hard to imagine that repub reps take McCarthy any more seriously than dems do. Also, MTG’s “I didn’t know _________” madlibs don’t really seem all that impressive every time she cozies up to white supremacists or posts about Jewish space lasers, but I guess her voters all have the secret decoding ring that tells them what’s BS and what isn’t (spoiler alert: It’s all bullshit).

But is McCarthy going to speak with Gossar?

If he does, I’m guessing Qevin would never release the readout.

The other man says something about Sisolak “hiding the hydroxychloroquine,”

I’m just shocked that there haven’t been assassination attempts against Dems. And, as the above quote demonstrates, all this stupid violence should be laid a the orange feet of TFFFFG.

A video posted to TikTok shows a crowd of civilians armed only with a few Ukrainian flags go after a Russian vehicle invading their town. A caption on the video claims it was recorded in Kupyansk, in Kharkiv oblast in the northeast of the country, although the location could not be verified. What is clear from the extraordinary footage is that a group of five Ukrainians spot a Russian SUV attempting to drive down their street and they race to block it off. The vehicle is forced to slow down and around 20 men and women, some carrying Ukrainian flags, risk their lives by swarming around the vehicle. One man climbs onto the hood and attempts to kick out the windshield before the Russians make a hasty exit.

the fellow who tried to kick out the window flew off the truck when it sped up. I hope he’s ok.

In case anyone was wondering where republicans learned their “up is down” responses to everything:

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has lashed out against remarks by French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, who earlier said that France was waging an economic war against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

“Watch your tongue, gentlemen,” Medvedev, who is the current deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council tweeted on Tuesday. “Don’t forget that in human history, economic wars quite often turned into real ones.”

For as long as they’ve been saying the supposed convoy was “approaching” D.C. it could have gone back and forth across the country three or four times.
