George Will wakes up to see his monster

Some gems and dead-on accusations by George Will

Stoking the passion that is their excuse for pandering - the nihilism of a febrile minority in their party - a majority of House Republicans - voted last Saturday to endanger civilization. Hoping to enhance their political security in their mostly safe seats, and for the infantile satisfaction of populist naughtiness (insulting a mostly fictitious “establishment”), they voted to assure Vladimir Putin’s attempt to erase a European nation.

N.B:
A simple majority - 216 of all votes - was needed for passage.
On Ukraine: 311 - 112. All 112 were Republicans.

Voted to endanger civilization. Voted to enhance their political security. Voted to assure the erasure a European nation.

Will then goes on to add:

"Tuesday’s Senate ratification of Ukrainian aid proves that Dwight Eisenhower’s baton of Republican internationalism was passed, via Ronald Reagan, to Mitch McConnell."

Awwww. Give yourself some credit, George! You were there flogging the myth of the purity and sureness of Republican governing along the with the rest of the Reich-wing media, feeding the Reich's army of Armageddon-craving, gullible, imbeciles.

And Reagan. It all points back to Reagan. Nixon being dead. That must have hurt George, because in the 1980's he regularly burnished Reagan's balls to a high sheen.

The wind-up:

"We have defined heroism so far down that it encompasses Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) allowing a House vote on assisting Ukrainians’ resistance to indiscriminate bombardments of population centers, ethnic cleansing, rape, torture and the abduction of children."

And by "We", he means "Republicans." 112 Republicans VOTED to look the other way on bombardments, ethnic cleansing, rape, torture, and the abduction of children.
