Leave it to a genuine - if elderly- President, to show the mettle of real presidents on “President’s Day”. I am referring, of course, to Joe Biden's appearance in Kyiv yesterday with Ukraine President Zelensky. In an audacious move meant to demonstrate American resolve to help
Ukraine Biden made a secret trip to that war torn nation over the weekend. This was to show resolve in helping to defeat the Russian forces that invaded a year ago this week. Biden traveled in true cloak and dagger style - to evade Russkie assassins and terror types - ending up in Kyiv yesterday to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky even as air raid sirens wailed.
But while Biden demonstrated audacity and resolve, what were the Reeps up to? Well, the harpy moron and traitor-loving twerp Marjorie Taylor Greene barked in a tweet that she wanted to now see Biden impeached - for going to Ukraine on President's Day. At this stage, on the heels of her clown performance at the State of the Union, one has to question what blend of marijuana she's on and if it's spiked with coke. As Bill Maher pointed out on Real Time, she has to be at least partly batshit nuts, or on something. No truly normal person acts like a deranged cartoon character 24/7.
Why the big to -do? Let's be clear that never in Biden’s lifetime (that's 80 years) had a president ventured into a war zone that was not under the control of American forces. Even FDR and JFK never did that, much less on a relatively slow-moving locomotive that would take nine and a half hours to reach its destination. During that time, he was potentially exposed to circumstances beyond the control of the hypervigilant security phalanx that normally seeks to shield a commander in chief from every conceivable physical danger and minimize his time outside a hardened shelter.
The visit - which had been in the works for months- produced an amazing
image of the two presidents striding to a memorial for fallen soldiers in broad
daylight even as an air-raid siren blared, and dashed completely the whines of the naysayers and doubters in the U.S. that
Biden was "unfit" or “too old” or whatever to run again.
In that one image Biden showed he had more courage in his pinky finger
than Trump had in his entire 280 lb. oafish orange carcass. Oh, and any 12 Reeptards had collectively - including Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
So let the petulant haters and nattering nabobs of negativity bleat and pout and piss and moan. This pictorial show of defiance
of Moscow - quickly beamed around the world – also showed one and all, friend
or foe, that Joe Biden is the serious presidential candidate for 2024. Not any of the parade of Reepo clowns that will
include the likes of Trump, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, DeSantis, Mike Pence and
other nitwits.
For much of the past year most of the people around Biden had resisted any urge he might have had to go, on the assumption that it was too risky. But nearly a year after the Russian invasion, with polls continuing to ding him in multiple ageist ways, e.g.
and Biden
determined to make another run against Traitor Trump – this call was a no
brainer.
Ukrainian troops with American military aid have fared far better than anyone expected at the start. Also, given other American and European leaders have made the trip, Joe Biden and his team gambled that he could also get in and out safely. I would also wager the decision in large measure was based also on a determined strategy to show the polling on Biden to be feckless and foolish - especially for those 50% of "swing voters" who actually averred they preferred Trump again to Biden (41%). Imagine, picking a traitor - who ought to have been hung by now - over Joe Biden, for president. It boggles the mind.
But the harpy bimbo Marjorie Taylor Greene still wants to try to impeach Biden for his Ukraine trip, tweeting yesterday:
"Biden didn't go to East Palestine,
Ohio on President's Day. He went to Ukraine, a NON-NATO nation, whose leader is
an actor and is apparently now commanding our United States military to world
war."
We
must impeach this America Last fool before it's too late."
No, we must hang traitor asswipes like you and Trump (considering her for his VP) before it's too late. Because even if she were to partially succeed in such a performative display of political retardation, it would flush any remaining hopes of Reeps holding the House down in '24 the drain. As former GOP FLA Rep. David Jolly predicted before the midterms, "Let the House GOP destroy itself".

The loudest pro-Putin wing of the Republican Party, which is pretty much all of them, absolutely cannot stand that President Joe Biden ruled the airwaves with his historic trip to Kyiv. His nerves-of-steel walk with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the streets of Kyiv, with air-raid sirens blaring in the background, broadcast around the world broke their brains.
Biden’s trip to Ukraine, the maniacs are loudly insisting is further evidence of his war on white people in America. Because he was in Kyiv instead of, you guessed it, East Palestine, Ohio. “You should be standing with East Palestine—an American town in your own country that needs your help,” tweeted Rep. Andy Biggs (R-RU).

Excerpt:
To most people, both at home and abroad, the purpose of President Joe Biden's recent trip to Ukraine is not mysterious: The United States would like the nation to prevail in its war against Russia's invading army, and this show of support is valuable for moralizing Ukraine's supporters while demoralizing Russian President Vladimir Putin. Far-right Republicans, on the other hand, tied themselves into knots in trying to diss Biden without coming right out and saying they want Ukraine to lose.
Some, like the American Nazi supporters of WWII, tried to package their stance as mere isolationism. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, for instance, exploited the Ohio train wreck catastrophe to argue "Biden is ditching America for Ukraine." Others, like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, went full incoherence, raving, "[I]t's becoming more like a U.S.- China war through the Ukraine — Russia war." And some went for puerile race-baiting, such as Rep. Greg Murphy yelling about "the war zone [Biden] created at our southern border." (In reality, the refugee crisis at the U.S.-Mexican border was created by Donald Trump's anti-immigration policies that Biden has been prevented from fixing by the GOP-controlled Supreme Court.)
