JD Vance's remarks here at the Munich Security Conference were an attack on our allies and a gift to the Kremlin.

Exactly the wrong message right now.

Lol, some Republicans who agreed!

Yes, like the Crazy people wouldn't get approved by the Republican US Senator.

Or would the Republican Controlled House would agree to investigate Criminal Trump's DOGE.

Adam, I think you are not understanding your role on this platform right now with the Dem senate being the minority. This is not a place for you to commiserate with “We the Ppl”. This is where you tell us about action, D senate actions in process and planned to help end this coup. Much appreciated.

michaelhoumann.bsky.social•124 days ago

Again, where is the surprise? Republicans are creating a Russian system in the USA, and Trunp have always been in the pocket of Putin. Just wait until opposition politicians start dropping off like flies or end up in Gitmo. The are no longer a democratic USA.

captain-corona.bsky.social•124 days ago

It was the right message. You do know they are taking orders from the Kremlin. Don’t be so naive.

flyflicker.bsky.social•124 days ago

I'm sure everyone in DC is shivering in fear now that Vance has told us "there's a new sheriff in town!" Yep, that steely-eyed-but-modest lawman will put the bad hombres in jail ... or in a grave. It's sooo exciting! lmao

😱

huskerpower95.bsky.social•124 days ago

I just don’t understand what Trumps trying to accomplish here. How does any of this benefit America? All Trump does is divide the country and make us look like a joke to the world. Do all republicans actually believe what trumps doing is ok? Or afraid of retaliation from trump?

notgoinback-2025.bsky.social•124 days ago

Unfortunately, THAT is the point.
It DOESN'T benefit America, because that is not, nor will it ever be Felon47's motivation/goal!

Mr. Schiff with all due respect, I appreciate your opinion.
I heard similar opinions sitting in a diner eating breakfast yesterday.
Neither conversation addressed a plan of action.
We already have the media to report these things we need you to get out of your ass and do something about them.

JD Vance is a Nazi, along with Elon Musk. He met with Alice Weidel, the leader of the far-right AfD party, but did not meet with Chancellor Scholz during the Munich Security Conference. The AfD party has Nazi sympathies and mainstreams extremist rhetoric.

Not enough people are upset about this!

I have to believe he is unaware that even partially Jewish wives of loyal Nazis were condemned. How else to explain his full-throated support of the Musk/Trump neo-Nazi regime?

jenphi.bsky.social•124 days ago

As a nation, did you vote for nazism? People who voted for Trump, as wrong as they were to vote for him, did they actually vote to become a Nazi regime? MAGA are in general racist, misogynist and absolutely ignorant, but nazi? 1/2

aninjaseerierenemy.bsky.social•124 days ago

I'm really really really hoping, Honorable Senator Schiff, that you all have a strategic plan of action to combat all of this nonsense, and you're not sharing it with us because you need to play your cards close to your chest so the other guys don't thwart you in advance. I'm really hoping.

wtroppe.bsky.social•124 days ago

Senator, with respect: please ramp up your rhetoric. Intensify your indignation.

I would respectfully disagree and say that it was a gift to Europe, because if they had any doubt that maybe we were still their ally, now they know the truth and can act accordingly.

If Vance was a smart Russian stooge he’d have held back a bit more. Instead, he went full fascist.

This. Primaries are more important than it seems the average voter thinks. Only 10% of California voters voted in that primary. 😡. Also a good rule of thumb is to never vote for the guy that can afford the most tv commercials.

What came out of Munich re US Senators proposing use of a guarantee ("backstop") that NATO will b/c involved if Russia violates a peace deal with Ukraine seems like a great idea! A moment of pride in US during a conf that overall left me feeling embarrassed by US presence.
