It’s time for Arizona voters to overthrow Arizona’s cabal of Putin sympathizers in Congress who voted against Ukraine defense funding. Instead, they supported Communist Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s murderous invasion of the eastern European country.
The Republican Bolsheviks voted against the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, H.R. 8035, in the House of Representatives on April 20, 2024. The measure passed by 311 to 112 — with all 112 votes against it cast by Republican hooligans.
The GOP Marxist–Leninists include four Arizona Congress-commies:
• Andy Biggs of CD5 in Gilbert.
• Elijah Crane of CD2 in Oro Valley.
• Paul A. Gosar of CD9 in Bullhead City.
• Debbie Lesko of CD8 in Peoria.
Rep. Gosar issued a faux invitation for Putin to come to Arizona to engage in peace negotiations. The idea would be to cement Russia’s takeover of almost 27% of Ukraine’s territory (62,000 square miles).
Russia has murdered 31,000 Ukrainian troops plus 10,000 civilians since its unprompted attack began on February 24, 2022. Russian attacks have caused catastrophic damage to Ukraine as of January 2024, estimated at $155 billion of destroyed homes, roads and power plants.
If Ukraine falls, the bloodthirsty Kremlin will invade Moldova and Poland next. “A Russian victory over Ukraine would herald the end of the world as we know it. The West would be disavowed as a guarantor of stability, security, and order. Revisionist actors such as China, Russia, Iran, and others, together with their allies, would impose their ideas of international order,” said the Slovakian Think Tank Globsec.
Crane appeases Putin’s aggression
Fellow traveler Rep. Eli Crane called for a “rapid conclusion” of the war for Russia to save face, save its $40 billion cost of the war, and save massive troop casualties of 82,870 invaders. Russia is on track to sustain more than 330,000 casualties in Ukraine in 2024.
Soviet collaborator Crane bleated, “Why is the US government allowed to continually spend money it doesn’t have?” Crane wants to lock in Putin’s territory gains and says the US should “pull back.” Similarly, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appeased Nazi aggression from 1937 to 1940, resulting in the invasion of Czechoslovakia and the start of World War II.
Trotskyist quisling Andy Biggs voted no on wartime aid for Ukraine, saying, “Ukraine is not our 51st state.” Republicans For Ukraine give Biggs an “F” rating on Ukraine Support.
“Biggsky” voted against:
• The Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022 allowed the lending/leasing of American defense materiel to Ukraine.
• Voted against the 2022 Ukraine Supplemental Appropriation
• Voted in favor of Amendment 21 to H.R. 2670, the National Defense Authorization Act, which would have stricken $300 million of assistance for Ukraine.
• Voted in favor of Amendment 22 to H.R. 2670, the National Defense Authorization Act, which would have prohibited all security assistance for Ukraine.
Bolshevik Lesko’s fake concern
Russian stooge Rep. Debbie Lesko voted against the 2022 Ukraine Supplemental Appropriation, as well as this year’s Ukraine aid bill. After the vote, she said, “I am extremely disappointed in the decision to advance Ukraine aid without the addition of critical U.S. border security provisions. I understand the need to stand strong with our allies against our adversaries across the globe, but we have to put America first.”
Despite Lesko’s fake concern, Mexico and asylum seekers are not a danger to the US. Actually, there is no “border crisis,” despite alarmist rhetoric about an “invasion,” “crisis,” and waves of “migrant crime.”
Priscilla Orta, a local advocate and director of Project Corazon at Lawyers for Good Government, said simply: “There is no crisis.” She added: “I think that part of the border is by far the most secure, the safest, the most well-regulated. The most empathetic [federal law enforcement] are the border unit here in Brownsville, Texas,” she said.
On a typical day on the 1,954-mile US-Mexico border in 2022, the U.S. Border Patrol had 19,357 agents — or ten agents for every mile. The Border Patrol’s January 2024 apprehensions dropped 50 percent from December 2023. It was the steepest month-to-month drop in the nearly 25 years for which there is data.
Much as I detest the pro-autocratic MAGAts in the House who voted against aid to Ukraine, I have to object to applying epithets like “commie” or “Marxist-Leninist” to them. These epithets are laughably inappropriate for people cozying up to a gangster-capitalist, Mafioso don-type like Putin. Yes, the Soviet KGB hatched him, but the system he learned to navigate and then dominate has zip to do with “Communism” or “Marxist-Leninism.” Let’s get our insults right, please! (And if the epithets in this Blog post were intended as irony, it didn’t get through to this reader.)
Yep, ironic!
Regarding those GOP Commies, as the Frenchman in the Holy Grail tower might say after catapulting dead cows: Quelle cochons!
Correction needed!!!!!!!!
Lesko’s actual name is Debra Kay Lorenz.
Wait, sorry, it was actually Debbie Harris.
Whoops, my bad, her name is Debra Ignas.
Ah, jeez, sorry, my bad, her name is Debra Schultz.
Hang on, hold the presses! Oh boy, do I have egg on my face, turns out her name is Debra Howard.
BforAZ really needs to get a fact checker. 🙂
She is quite the shapeshifter. But fascist movements have always attracted grifters and criminals like a bug light attracts June bugs.
We laugh at the antics of morons like MTG. But remember that a bunch of equally deficient folks voted for them. They are the real problem.
