Mike Johnson Heads to the 'Southern Kremlin' to Get His Marching Orders

Republicans in Congress are now full-on blaming the U.S. for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The greatest moments in Donald Trump’s life were obviously when he was sitting behind the Resolute Desk, changing weather patterns with his black Sharpie, and hitting a specially designed button for a can of Coke. So obsessed is he with this desk and those feelings of greatly limited power that he had a miniature “Oval” built at his residence in Florida, Mar-a-Lago.

President Truman also had a “Little White House” in Florida. It was located in Key West. He spent 175 days of his presidency there. The Department of Defense was created there in 1948, and it became known as the “Key West Agreement.” Both Reagan and Nixon (Lasa Pacifica) had unofficial “White Houses” in California, and Johnson used his ranch in Texas to lead the country.

Now, for the first time in our nation’s history, there is a “Southern Kremlin.” Donald Trump is using his “baby Oval” to do all he can to help his BFF, Vladimir Putin, defeat Ukraine. Trump’s love for Putin was always founded on the simple fact that Putin seemed like a badass. Cool, ever-slouching, Vlad would just saunter into a room and, affecting the best Billy Jack promise, he would state what he planned to do next: I am going take this foot and whop you on this side of your face…and there us a damn thing you can do about it.

Well, to Trump’s dismay, Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine did something — they stopped Putin’s shaking foot, and thanks to President Biden and NATO, Russia was getting its ass handed to it. In many ways, Russia is still getting whooped in Ukraine, but not so much these days because of Ukrainian soldiers but because of the sheer incompetence of Russia’s military. There is nothing Trump can do about that part of things, but he can make sure that no U.S. military support goes to Ukraine. 

Thanks to the inefficiencies of our governing system and a clear oversight by the Found Fathers, no one ever imagined that a day would come when an enemy nation would take over a substantial portion of the governing structure of our country. Add to this reality the simple fact that the majority of Republicans in Congress want to see a fascist United States that only permits certain people to have a say in our government, and what we have is a recipe for worldwide disaster. If Trump is successful and Russia does end up occupying all of Ukraine, war with NATO is almost certain. A war with NATO means the next war will be fought with sticks and stones. 

Today, we have the football coach, Senator Tommy Tuberville, a man who probably knows less about the past 20 years of Russian-American relations than the average cashier at WaWa (7/11, Cumberland Farms, Circle-K, Piggly Wiggly, etc.), stating in the official Senate record that the United States pushed Russia into this war of genocide. As more and more Republicans toe the Kremlin’s party line, and Trump wields the near entirety of Republicans in Congress like a great hammer with which he chips consistently away at our democracy, a final, sad chapter for Ukraine is being written in Ukrainian blood.

This past week, President Zelensky dropped the age for men in Ukraine who can be drafted to defend the country. It had been that no one under 27 could be conscripted. The hope was that the country could preserve its future generation. Thanks to the increased death rate on the front as a result of a massive ammunition scarcity, Putin’s Republicans in Congress have just condemned thousands of Ukrainian boys to death.

Lying Republicans will claim that they want Congress to focus first on border security, and that is why they are against helping Ukraine. We all know this is a crock of steaming shit. The Senate passed the most conservative border security bill in December, and the House killed it.

Why?

Because Trump needs immigration to be a campaign issue.

Even more frustrating is that Democrats aren’t ringing every single drop out of this moment of historical hypocrisy that they can. It is a moment of treachery on the part of Republicans, and it needs to be screamed from the mountaintop!
