Remember when a coterie of Republicans went to Russia on the Fourth of July?

Maybe it's time to collect these Congresspeople and the others who are Putin apologists and give them an opportunity to visit the streets of Ukraine? It would not be forced, we'll just pay for their tickets and whatever expenses they need to get a tour of the war torn streets, before the bodies are removed.

3. Couldn't we just load 'em up into one of Bezo's or Musk's rocket ships?

We could launch them all straight into the sun. It would make for excellent television. Imagine the ratings!

5. My Rep Kay Granger is among the group. Her office refuses to answer my question

Why was my representative Kay Granger in Moscow on July 4th 2018. They won't even acknowledge she was there.


She also voted against NATO.

SHE WORKS FOR RUSSIA AND PUTIN. She doesn't represent anyone in her voting district.


But Lockheed Martin provides her with plenty of pocket change. You'd think a big military contractor wouldn't want to finance someone working with our didn't.


Perhaps Granger is selling military secrets, selling planes through back door deals. Who knows?

7. We need to do a more thorough background check on those Comrades

of Putin.
