🚨 In 2022, Russia put @RepDonBacon on its sanctions list. A U.S. Congressman. Personally blacklisted by the Kremlin. Apparently, telling the truth about Putin's war is a punishable offense in Moscow. He didn't stop. This week alone: ✅ One of only two Republicans to sign the discharge petition for the Ukraine Support Act ✅ Sent a bipartisan letter demanding answers on eased Russian oil sanctions ✅ Called out the idea of handing Ukrainian territory to Russia for what it is The broader record: 📌 Pushed to arm Ukraine, tighten sanctions, and confiscate $300B in frozen Russian assets Most Americans reject Putin. Most Americans stand with Ukraine. So does Representative Don Bacon. Russia knew it before most people were paying attention. 📌 Sanctions must stay. The pressure must hold. 👉 amukr.org/do-not-lift-sa… 📷 Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb. (Tom Williams / CQ Roll Call) #StandUpWithUkraine #SupportUkraine #SanctionRussia #RussianWar #RussianWarInUkraine

@AmUkrCommittee @ExScientia_Vera @RepDonBacon Well earned praise. Like Rep Bacon, I encourage our Congress to pass strong Russia sanctions & defense support for Ukraine.

Toxic Christianity is witnessing horrible people do horrible things but supporting them anyway just because they occasionally shout out Jesus in between atrocities.

@FT @RobertFife Congratulations America! Elect a clown, expect a circus.

I'll be losing my blue check (on purpose) when I retire, and won't be able to post long videos afterwards. Perhaps I should post them all now! Bookmark and share them whenever you like!🧵

@StateDept Europe doesn’t protect pedos. It’s that easy, Mario.

@StateDept Ukraine is defense, Iran is offense. Don't play stupid.

SECRETARY RUBIO: The U.S. is constantly asked to help in wars and we have. But when we had a need, it didn’t get positive responses from NATO. A couple leaders said that Iran was not Europe’s war. Well, Ukraine isn’t our war, yet we’ve contributed more to that fight than anyone.

@evanwch It hasn't aged as bad as some other posts 🤷🏻‍♂️

@evanwch @wswann I dont understand how its possible to believe the things you did about "the Donald" of all people as I've known him since the 80s, but I'm really very happy to welcome you home now.

Ugh. Did not age well

@evanwch Honest question. What does it feel like to know you were conned by a madman?

MAGA Republicans now ADMIT to shutting down the TSA. Everywhere I go, I’m hearing from more and more Alabamians that are absolutely sick of this chaos. We’re going to flip the Senate this November.

If you needed any more evidence that this administration couldn’t care less about the American people, here is your sign.

American politics has been captured by the fringes. Socialists and progressive leftists have destabilized the Democratic Party while MAGA/America First has captured the Republican Party. The majority of Americans in the center have been locked out of politics. The New American Center is aimed at challenging the far-left and far-right grip on our discourse. We stand for classic American values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; we stand for the private market-economy; we stand for American leadership of the Free World and amongst developed economies. We welcome all those in the center-left to center-right. The New American Center stands for a politics rooted in shared values, not tribal loyalty. Our mission is to foster thoughtful, good-faith conversation among Americans who believe compromise is a strength, not a surrender. 🇺🇸 #NewAmericanCentrist #NAC

And I thought I was mortified in 2015 when the moronic vulgarian announced he was running against the adults in the GOP primary.

The sun has risen over Lviv, Ukraine. We were spared last night from missiles and drones. Not because russia didn't launch them, but because YOUR F-16's shot everything down. THANK YOU TO: The Dutch 🇳🇱 The Danish 🇩🇰 The Norwegians 🇳🇴 The 🇺🇸 US has 936, but 0 were given to 🇺🇦.

There is no neutrality in the face of evil. The russian war and genocide against Ukrainians have changed me. russians have killed three of my friends. They have beheaded, tortured, raped, and castrated thousands of my countrymen. They have destroyed the livelihoods of millions. I used to be much more tolerant and accepting of different points of view. But now my vision is more black and white. The war has become personal. The pain has become personal. When your family and friends are bombed every night for four years and your country is invaded, it becomes personal. I think every one of us has lost someone, either on the battlefield or when rockets or Iranian drones struck civilian infrastructure. Every day and night, there are explosions in the sky. You start your day reading reports about people hospitalized or killed because russian rockets destroyed civilian buildings. And one of those buildings could be where your loved ones or friends live. So when I meet someone who claims to be neutral regarding the russian war and genocide against the Ukrainian people, I hold them morally responsible for the atrocities committed by russians. There can be no neutrality in the face of evil. If you choose to remain neutral and silent, that is your choice. But that choice defines who you are. You are a coward, a silent supporter, and history will judge you as such. To conclude, I want to quote a few people who understood well that there is no neutrality in the face of evil: Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil; God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” Elie Wiesel: “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” Dante Alighieri (paraphrased): “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”

Praying Psalm 109 over Donald, especially verse 8 and 9. 🙏🙏🙏
