He won't advocate for Ukraine (much) more than he already has. In order to cash in on his contacts and influence, he must remain on decent terms with the regime and their puppets and propagandists.
You mean fortunately. Don Bacon‘s replacement is almost guaranteed to be a Democrat (most likely John Cavanaugh). Since Bacon won’t actually stand up against MAGA when it counts, even when it cost him nothing, he is useless in Congress.
For whatever reason, courage to challenge the president within the party overwhelmingly comes from the Senate, not the house.
House members are very much under the thumb of their officers.
I think it's because committees and the speaker have effective veto power over presenting bills, while in the Senate no one man can stop a vote, but I could be wrong about why it is.
I agree completely. Ukraine is in a very tenuous position now. At least 2 things need to happen: the promised support from US needs to be provided and the relief from sanctions afforded to Russia by Trump needs to stop immediately. Ukraine can win this war but it will take time. And it requires enhanced support for Ukraine and increasing pressure on Russia to come to the negotiating table.
I categorically refuse to believe what I am seeing in my digital bubble or portal as the so-called representations of the IRAN war thus far played onto my retina(s) and ears...

There is no universe where a decrepit idiot that might have the label as 'Commander in Chief" is actually able to unilaterally transact a war on his own.
.
This is WHY we have the Combined Chiefs of Staff / Joint Chief's of staff...
.
In Desert Storm there were MANY public interviews with Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkopf etc.
.
(At very least)...
.
.
ALL of the sprung traps and difficulties concerning IRAN are very well known.
.
There is NO universe where the USA "Wins" a war - let alone a 'Peace" with Iran.
.
The whole thing is completely ludicrous.
.
These presentations of supposed military action is exactly what a WAR with Iran would look like if BIDEN was still POTUS on some sort of imaginary religious crusade... of befuddled intuitive directive from the POPE and GOD himself...
.
The joint chief's and immediate interfacing generals have the right to say NO - to truly idiotic plans...
.
When Trump said - "Why can't you be more like the German generals of world war two ".
.
"You mean like the one's that tried to kill Hitler Mr. President ?".
That proud counter-sunk stainless steel screw they keep moving around on the aluminum staircase for AirForce One...
.
Just one example of many ...
.
Not just tricky shallow negative inclines that have to be negotiated to and from the podium.
.
So many possibilities...
.
I can't say it's "Natural Selection at work" as the old buzzard or is it gold-buzzard has already reproduced several times, or notionally removing someone from the Gene pool for the greater "Good" of "Humanity".
.
[It's hard to believe that Selfish Gene guy also coined the term "Meme" <--- he gives atheists a bad name ... and I for sure am not going to be wading into the tricky waters navigated by Christopher Hitchens. ].
.
I am not one of those atheists that is all about disabusing* someone of their particular faith as I (from experience) know that is a completely pointless exercise. Any and all (stochastically) installed (false) belief systems are almost impossible to remove - I don't run a center for kidnapping and converting cult members into "Normies".
I am not at liberty to talk about the nature of "FREE WILL" - (My handlers make it clear that it's a no no to talk about it - and "They" don't want to get scooped amongst other things) - But I can categorically tell you the "One more click" on the deities dial got it DEAD WRONG !
.
As every good atheist knows you cannot disprove the existence of God or G_d or G'd or GODS or for that matter or God -like beings somewhere in the Universe - but most assuredly no such beings have ever visited THIS planet.
.
The "One more click " dial of - many gods - to a notional singular god or god(s) - in the case of a three in one god - even to ZERO God / Gods (click on the dial) is a false construct within itself and frankly is a wholy unpersuasive argument to the "Faithfull".
.
IF you have a religion - maybe don't insert it front and center into the daily two headed garbage Monsterism of legislative government.
.
As stated before Nature is only going to get a break when most of the current world's religions DIE OUT... approximately four thousand years from now - and then a new set of variants (New Gods and associated practices that people will try to kill each other for) will replace the "Old Gods" - so nature's priorities and all it's biomes have to wait for an addition eight thousand years of "Man's" destruction on this planet.
.
What will be left of nature then ?
.
Didn't SouthPark already do that one ? - not exactly.
Meanwhile - just a gentle reminder that companies like EXXON MOBIL are in the "Energy business" and more-over in the MONEY - business.
.
These guys and other's like them are not wedded to "OIL" - in fact have spent historically the MOST on alternate energy research. hedging their bets. Oil extraction and the internal combustion engine and to meet that need is extremely cumbersome and complex - although raw chemical energy is hard to compete with.
.
IN a RIGHT WING GREEN PARTY - we'd just be throwing money AND twisting the arms of fossil fuel companies to commit MORE seriously to alternate energy systems... Even mining on the Moon for Helium- 3 if necessary.
.
You can't leave this kind of shit to an X-cocktail/ restaurant - waitress (AOC) to cut and paste a BS Green NEW Deal plan from Diem 25's GREEN NEW DEAL "Pla" for "Europe"... (What's left of it...).
.
And have the Democrats completely bungle things up and get mainly Black entrepreneurs into serious debt for the "Underbanked communities" initiative for BBB <--- Build Back Better - like of Mice and Men where the mentally infirm Lenny gets a bullet through the head. Fortunately most Black entrepreneurs know better than to take massive government loans from the Democrat architected GREEN projects (Initiative(s)) ...(cough cough). Having said that OTOH Black Presidential Candidates know very well how to burn millions of dollars to the ground in failed campaign donations and then fail further - smoked ... all gone nothing left - literal bails of money thrown into the furnace and nothing to show and no plan - B.
.
AT the Terrestrial Party and RIGHT WING GREEN PARTY (coalition) - we decided to take a leaf out of China's book and really turn the thumb screws on all those Bozos working on Fusion Power...
.
You know like REALLY use thumb screws and have all their families interred into a "Research 'Physics" "Camp " and campus... styled "Community" - complex.
.
Until the egg heads finally figure this shit out so we have REAL working FUSION Power so these assholes in the Middle east can ALL go back to being stupid nomadic Goat herders from which they originally came from.
.
Solve the problem of reactor wall annihilation via high energy neutrons or little Timmy's and Janey's brains "decorate" the communal day care center (walls)... And I'm not talking paper streamers nor cutesy cardboard bunny rabbits and TREES - everywhere...
.
.
Clearly they are just not trying hard enough and don't really understand what is really at stake.
.
.
It's the GET SHIT DONE "Party" rather than lets endlessly talk to all the long-hairs party and make sure ALL the F*cking hippies are happy now "Party".
.
If the jack asses in congress don't vote properly - we MAKE them vote properly and they will LIKE IT!
.
or not,

But will go the 'Right Way" being the GREEN way or else...

Kompromat is not just for Epstein like copy cats YKWIM ?
Somewhere between bar skittles and an actual wrecking ball.

Only one man .... his replacement is NOT so fond of the Russians nor a critical mass of cat ladies either.
.
Personally I suspect Subtack / subst-crack is just a honey pot for vigorous and vexed cat ladies that would other wise be causing chaos on the other interwebs and respectively diverse info channels.
.
Sort of a CIA psyops to round up all the cat-ladies and keep them (unwittingly) safely corralled in one place where they allowed to believe they are causing actual change.

It's the less obvious and more stochastic stratagem(s) that actually work.

Nice to hear of a Republican with a brain but sounds like he still has no heart! Slava Ukraini!!
Unfortunately, Rep. Bacon is not running for reelection.

Great article Garry, I think there are a number of people in Congress who have more power than they realise.

It's not all one way and strictly hierarchical...

Not just top down - but it DOES also work - bottom up..

Or Bottom's UP.

Let's not forget Trump did try to have the "People" / MAGA enthusiasts murder his own Vice President.

Trump himself is very much about "get the MAN" before he gets you...

I don't see any "Moral" equivalence issues when the Trump playbook is itself used against Trump.
