The chief regional prosecutor in Bucha, Ruslan Kravchenko, told Human Rights Watch on April 15 that 278 bodies had been found in the town since Russian forces withdrew, the vast majority of them civilians, and that the number was expected to rise as more bodies are discovered. Prior to the conflict, Bucha had a population of about 36,000.
“We had 5 million people cross our border illegally since Joe Biden took office,” Greene said on Thursday, while flanked by GOP colleagues. “Let’s compare that to how many Russians have invaded Ukraine. 82,000 Russians have invaded Ukraine.”

Well, to start, the Russians used to have a lot of tanks.
She is that stupid.
Right now you’re showing us who you really are, Mark. Parse that.

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.
I am the very model of a Russian Major-General,
I’ve been shot by snipers, Javelins, and rockets fired aerial,
I lose the tanks of Moscow, as farmers laugh hysterical,
From Donetsk to Odessa, we are fighting terrible.
I am the very model of a dead Major-General,
I’ve war-crimed, bombed, and pillaged like a goddamn savage animal,
My body blown to bits, you’d be surprised how very flammable,
History will judge me and condemn me categorical.
I tried to throw a punch with VDV and choppers aerial,
Objectives – making vassal state, a Russian periferia,
Turned to shelling cities – tactics simply catastrophical,
I am the very model of a Russian Major-General.
I am the very model of a Russian Major-General,
In tanks and men and ammo we are overwhelming numerical,
Still defeated by a woman throwing jars of pickled tomatoes,
All across Ukraine our logistics are so terrible.
I am the very model of a Russian major-general,
To murder of civilians and their kids I am amenable,
But Ukrainian resistance is so strong this is untenable,
Now only Comrade Putin thinks this cluster fuck is winnable.
The Hague will have a verdict, they’ll say I am a criminal.
A rope around my neck until I’m cold just like a popsicle,
If only our procurement bought us more tanks, trucks, and vehicles,
I am the very model of a Russian Major General.

[….] A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.
[….]
Projection.
This afternoon:
Kevin McCarthy @GOPLeader
These are not Putin gas prices. They are President Biden gas prices. 1:39 PM · Mar 11, 2022
поле́зный идио́т.
“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.
Some of the responses:
How much did the Kremlin pay you to tweet this? [….]
You don’t like real Presidents.
You prefer coup plotting Putin puppets, don’t ya Kev? [….]
The blame America first movement [….]
Siding with the brutal dictator who’s currently slaughtering the innocent civilians of a sovereign nation over your own President certainly is a take, Kev.
Fuck off, traitor.
I’m so old, I remember when the price of oil DOUBLED after Saddam invaded Kuwait and Democrats did not respond by trying to score cheap political points. try being a patriot for five minutes, Kev
A true Leader would pull the country together
Not sow division, dishonesty and disinformation. [….]
Kevin McCarthy is not an American representative. Kevin McCarthy is Putin’s representative.
Once upon a time you said that there were two people who Putin paid- Rohrabacher and trump. Then you said “swear to God”.
Well I guess we all know at least one other person Putin now pays, don’t we Kev? [….]
Defending Putin again
How much was your price ?
Your tweets should carry this disclaimer:
“SPONSORED BY THE KREMLIN”
What specific measures would you take that would actually reduce gas prices here?
Not things that sound plausible. Things that are actually in our control and that would actually work.
Does Putin like you to tickle his balls when you’re blowing him like this?
Kevin McCarthy is a Putin apologist.
Whatever you say, comrade. Putin thanks you for your service.
I’m not Putin anything you say as true
Defending Putin again. Today’s GOP, everybody.
You’re defending Putin?
So…. you are now defending Putin?
Who do you represent again?
How’s that Kevin? Give examples please. Oh wait, you can’t.
Hey, hi, you’re a traitor to the United States, have a nice afternoon. [….]
You’re a moron, Kevin.
Says the Putin asset
I see US sanctions on Russia hasn’t stopped you from getting your rubles.
Bummed your rubles are worthless?
Oh cupcake, we know exactly whose these gas prices belong to.
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Russia has America over a barrel — literally.
President Biden’s failed energy policies caused the United States to purchase 595,000 barrels of Russian oil per day.
This vulnerability needs to be addressed by producing energy here at home and becoming energy independent again.
[….] 10:18 AM · Mar 4, 2022
Let’s go to some of the responses:
Time to follow Germany’s lead and focus on renewables instead of fossil fuels… which is what Biden’s infrastructure plan is about. So, which policies that you will vote for are to succeed?
Ms. Hartzler- what is your opinion on what the USA should be doing now in Ukraine? Do a no fly zone? Send troops? Stay completely out of it? Something else?
You’re another loyal servant of Big Oil.
Russian oil is not being imported by the US government but by private companies. Why aren’t you telling them to stop, telling them to stop exporting US energy resources and supporting expanded renewable energy development in the US?
Weird! and here I thought it was when the Covid economic crisis drove oil prices down to $25 dollars a barrel American producers closed up shop because they lost money at those prices. You are SO SMART Vicky! [….]
Your wishful thinking comrade
You have no idea what you are talking about Miss Home Economics teacher, so quit spreading misinformation. Be a real leader.
Fake outrage, Vicky. TFG sword-danced with the Saudi’s while they bombed Yemen to dust. Where was your outrage then? Where was your outrage when the U.S. invaded Iraq based on fake claims of WMD?
Russian oil is part of the same game you all have been playing for decades.
9,000 oil leases that are not being used right now. Why are you not questioning them???
Give it a rest “hateful Hartzler” you just want us to nix the paltry 10% of imports so it will raise gas prices and you can then vilify and turn it against
@POTUS later. If you really cared you’d be asking why the oil companies in the US limit their production instead!
Maybe Donald Trump should stop licking this dictator’s boots. He weakened our democracy & our standing in the world; opening the door for the vampires.
Thank you, @POTUS, for standing up to authoritarians.
678,000 jobs were added, and the unemployment rate fell to 3.8% in February.
Under President Biden, the economy has averaged a monthly gain of 582,000 jobs over the past 3 months. – U.S. Department of Labor, 3/4/2022
Why won’t you admit this is good news for America?
Politics?
