1. I would say that Gosar thinks freedom is the enemy of the Republican Party.

And that tyranny is the friend of the Republican Party.
It's hard to see the difference between the Republican plan for America and the Russian plan for Ukraine.
It's hard to see the difference between Putin's Russia, and the Republican plan for Trump's America.
That's because there really isn't a difference.

2. How many rubles in his cookie jar?

[nebby70]

15. ...my thoughts went in that direction too....

... wonder what the price tag is for a rather dimwitted congressperson to say such things....
... also wonder if a senator costs more than a representative....

[soldierant]

32. Rubles aren't worth what they used to be.

No matter how many are in his cookie jar, he might not be able to afford one cookie with them now.

[Achilleaze]

3. k and r

Republican traitors should shut their treasonous mouths.

[PurgedVoter]

4. He and his ilk are funded by our oligarchs

He really shouldn't be bringing up crippling debt, inflation or immigration, since Republican policies and the tax breaks to the wealthy caused the debt.
His side has shielded the wealthy so they could enjoy the benefits of inflation, which only help his masters.
And immigration helps us and no the worst people and rapists are not the ones coming in against Conservatives wishes. Our worst people sit on the Republican side of the isle or have the ability to buy their way into our country. These are the ones that look the other way when actual pedo's and rapists are at work.

[FakeNoose]

5. If I have any enemies, it's the Chumpist Repukes in the House and Senate

Just sayin'

[samsingh]

6. paul go-moscow refers to putin by name almost as if he works for putin

[Torchlight]

7. My guess: just under a third of congress

are wannabe Oswald Mosley's-- but with much worse English language skills. And wardrobes too, it appears.

[geardaddy]

26. Yep, and Lord Haw Haws

8. Follow the money

[lindysalsagal]

20. They all took filthy Russian ologarch money. If they out him, he outs them.

My phone has that sentence memorized, now. Follow the money, absolutely.

[housecat]

23. I want that cat

[uponit7771]

24. +1,

9. Russia has supplied weapons that killed American Servicemen for half a century.

The were our friend then too right pukes? They can hurt us but we can't hurt them sounds fucking crazy. We know our friends and Russia is no friend.

[Turbineguy]

10. Gosar works for Putin.

[onetexan]

18. no doubt. Gosar is the enemy of America

[childfreebychoice]

35. The ppl who support gozar, and those of his ilk, are enemies of democracy. Nt

[Lonestarblue]

11. Khrushchev declared decades ago that Russia would destroy the US from within.

What better way to accomplish that than to bribe and blackmail a political party. They found willing participants in the Republican Party and had a willing person in Donald Trump to destroy traditional alliances and isolate the US on the world stage. They sowed discord with disinformation campaigns, helping to fuel the culture wars that so divide the country today. I would not be surprised to learn that Putin and Rupert Murdoch are best friends because both want to destroy democracy.

[FuzzyRabbit]

21. I have thought so for some time.

Bribery is much less expensive than war. Putin nearly accomplished his goal of taking over the US government. He couldn't afford a war with the US, so instead he bribed the republicans.

[sop]

41. He did take over the US government, he just couldn't hang on to it for more than four years.

[Jilly_in_VA]

12. Well, Mr. Gooser

I submit that you can move over there just any day now. AND STAY THERE! Ya durok!

[world wide wally]

13. Dearn Arizona,

Please get a grip on who you are electing to Federal Offices. If the rest of us wanted to be governed by Putin, we would move to Russia.

[Crowman2009]

14. Funny how these GOPers we're all about killing brown people 20 years ago.

But when it's a white country invading, all of a sudden they are our friends!?!?

[Justice matters.]

16. Yep. Gosar's friends launch cyberattacks on our infrastructure

And many of them launched an insurrection on our Capitol building too.

[Wicked Blue]

17. How much money does Gosar get from Russia? nt

[bullimiami]

19. hey gosar opportunity awaits. what are you waiting for. move to russia already. find your freedom.

[LaMouffette]

22. Gosar needs to be reminded of the arsenal of nuclear missiles Russia has trained on US targets.

Friends do not aim nuclear weapons at friends.

[onethatcares]

25. tax cuts for the wealthies add how much

to that debt?

It never fail, fucking pukes run up the credit card, democratic admins have to pay it off, immediately!!!.

and I have the great misfortune of having pricksnott and little marco as my senators...

[Firestorm49]

27. God damned right. (Sorry)

[Ziggysmom]

28. Comrade Gosar?

Is that what he dreams up on his vacations? The POS spent more taxpayer dollars on travel than any other member of the House over the past five years! Care to explain that, Comrade?

desantis, ron johnson, paul, et al, they represent many like-minded voters, who have few to no impediments to voting

34. K & R & Retweeted!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

36. Right and wrong no longer have any meaning

for the mindless, heartless, soulless Republican Party.
If it can lose its heart mind & soul so completely & quickly,
it never had a heart mind or soul.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. If the tweet is any good, post the text! If not, post the link and go, never to return for discussi

This is a good one, so here is the text!

@SethAbramson
At this moment in history, Russia is the enemy of every democracy. Ukraine is the ally of every democracy. The fundamental premise behind the ongoing U.S. insurrection is that America should be an authoritarian regime, not a democracy. It’s why the insurrectionists support Putin.

[Achilleaze]

38. Yes, thanks for bringing that statement into the spotlight again

"...Russia is the enemy of every democracy..."

And Republicans are working overtime to try and get their base to slither with them into the louse-infested bed embracing the totalitarian genocidal and immoral Russian government of TFG's intimate and equally korupt Komrade, Putin the Brutal Fascist Butcher.

In so doing the G.O.P. betrays America and democracy at home and in the world.

[The Jungle 1]

39. Here we go again.

Neville Chamberlain was also a conservative wacko. Gosar wants us to believe if we just kiss puketins ass he will stop and only take Ukraine.
Gosar is a FOOL who refuses to respect history and the lessons we have already learned.

[usaf-vet]

40. All anyone needs to know about Paul Gosar is the fact that his siblings say he's nuts and DON'T

.... VOTE for him.

[AllaN01Bear]
