Senate hopeful J.D. Vance, February 21:  "I gotta be honest with you, I don't really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another."

Senate hopeful J.D. Vance, February 26:  "Russia's assault on Ukraine is unquestionably a tragedy, especially for the innocent people caught in the crossfire.  It's also a stark reminder of our own failed leadership...elites pursued a policy of isolating Russia...media elites slander those of us who believe in 'America First'...Trump deserves a tremendous amount of credit...foreign policy establishment...supposed 'experts'...yadda yadda yadda."  

Well, I guess he decided to care after all.  Not coherently, but a lot.

Tommy Tuberville, already a Senator, on why Putin invaded Ukraine:  "He can't feed his people.  It's a Communist country, so he can't feed his people, so they need more farmland."

Tommy thinks the three branches of government are the offense, the defense and the special squad.

July 7, 2021:  Tucker Carlson admits he was seeking a Putin interview when he accused the National Security Agency of spying on him because the Biden administration wants to "take this show off the air."

February 23, 2022:  Tucker Carlson tells his spellbound spit-droolers, "Ukraine, to be technical, is not a democracy.  Democracies don't arrest political opponents and they don't shut down opposition media...[it is] a pure client state of the United States State Department..."

As for Russia, "Has Putin ever called me a racist?...Is he teaching my children to embrace racial discrimination?  Is he trying to snuff out Christianity?  Does he eat dogs?"  (Not clear, but apparently these are all reasons Putin is better than Biden or Xi, one of whom "manufactured a world-wide pandemic.")  Without Trump around to prevent it, "Hating Putin has become the central purpose of America's foreign policy.  Very soon that...could bring the United States into a conflict in eastern Europe."    

February 24, 2022:  Tucker Carlson says "Vladimir Putin started this war...He is to blame for what we're seeing tonight in Ukraine."  I guess he didn't snag that interview.  

But Tuckoo, you are a racist.  You forgot all about Ukraine last night because you had a new Black woman to hate:  If Ketanji Brown Jackson is confirmed it will "defile" the Supreme Court and "humiliate and degrade" the entire country.  You opened your face and said that, adding something about DNA and Rwanda which probably impressed the dullest 25 percent of your fans.  Unlike Coney Barrett, Judge Jackson has been appointed because of "how she looks," not her years as a public defender, judge, and now US Circuit Court of Appeals.  Tuckoo, you are a racist and a misogynist and a fascist.  You humiliate and degrade this country every weeknight at 8 Eastern Time.  

Muhammad Ali said, "No Viet Cong ever called me n-----" to explain why he preferred to lose his boxing title and risk prison rather than fight in a pointless war.  When Tucker Carlson asks, "Has Putin ever called me a racist?" he's admitting that Putin doesn't know him from a gruesome TV dinner. 

The rest of the idiocracy has been at work, just as hard and just as disgustingly.  Tulsi Gabbard wishes Ukraine and NATO and just, you know, everybody had "acknowledged Russia's legitimate security concerns" and Putin would have taken everybody in Kyiv out for ice cream.  His weird speech about "denazification" and "genocide" of Ukraine's ethnic Russians would have remained in the desk where it belongs.  Michael Flynn spelled it out even farther, managing to work covid, "millions surging across our southern border," the "fraudulent" election and even "a certain Biden owned laptop."  Did Q tell you to say that, Mike?  But the blue rosette goes to "Steve Bannon's Morning Sickness" where Pigpen and his guest Erik Prince praised Putin for not being "woke."  "The Russian people still know which bathroom to use."  "They don't have the Pride flags."  "How many genders are there in Russia?"  "Two!"  These guys, they're like Car Talk with gay panic instead of the Puzzler.

Of course it's possible that all these fans of the Big Vlad Wolf will have changed their song now and, like Vance, found a way to snuggle up to Trump without fellating Putin.  It's always easier if words have no meaning for you.
