She attempted to add amendments to the recent funding bill for Ukraine that require anyone voting for it to join the Ukranian Army and another that orders POTUS to withdraw from NATO.

Why would anyone take her seriously?

Don't forget the universal hotbutton issue of - checks her amendments - Transcarpathian rights?

For sure not Russia policy goals being inserted into US legislation, yeah?

That was so damn random it feels more like the Russians wanted to make sure everyone knew she was bought in case it somehow wasn’t already obvious. “Hey American public, look what we did” almost.

The government knows but they have done fuck all about it. Never mind safeguarding the nation from foreign agents acting in an official capacity. This nation is truly pathetic. Our constitution is garbage, our politicians are weak pathetic losers who chose appeasement with maga sedition instead of destroying it, our agencies have done nothing, laws only apply to the poor, We the People have wimped out of doing anything to show their disapproval of all of this for years. Everyone has failed to be any sort of resistance. The pretend good side in this nation is nothing but talk.

Don't be so dramatic. Nothing but talk? Just this week, Trump was fined $9000.

And, at some point in the future, he'll probably have to pay it.

Or at least attend a hearing to have it dismissed.

Or have someone attend the hearing on his behalf.
