The new talking points that have been sent out are that Republicans have been brainwashed by Fox News into hating Ukraine. It’s the usual hyperbole from the Left intended to shut down any discussion — if you question the wisdom of sending $100+ billion to Ukraine or would at least like to know where it’s going, you hate Ukraine and you’re pro-Putin. It’s the usual playbook … brand something as “hate” so you can oppose it without question.
We don’t hate Ukraine — we’re just tired of stupid takes being posted to Twitter by people with Ukrainian flags in their handles. Speaking of empty gestures …
We missed this yesterday, but Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, on the occasion of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visiting the U.S., unplugged his Christmas tree in solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
Our tree lights are out today to express our solidarity with the courageous people of Ukraine whose light inspires the world even though their electricity is out.
Congress should listen to Zelensky tonight with both ears. pic.twitter.com/PJq2qWnSFe

Oh for fucks’ sake.

My governor thinks it sends a message of solidarity to the people of Ukraine if he turns off the lights on his butt ugly tree for a few hours.
That’s so cute. https://t.co/j2XCSMH0ST

I’m sure this means a lot to them.

Well, I'm sure this helps the people in Ukraine immeasurably. They may actually rename this day Jay Inslee day in honor of your sacrifice by having a dark Christmas tree. I won't flush my toilet today as my contribution.

Is that a real tree? Did you get a permit to cut it down? I hope they used an electric or hand powered saw because you just made the carbon foot print larger by removing something that cleans the air. You should be planting ten trees in its place now.

Maybe you should listen to the citizens of Washington with both ears.

So Inslee gets a cut too.

@GovInslee does your stunning bravery know any bounds? Your sacrifice humbles all of your subjects.

You should move there to fight the good fight, because you're such an awesome person. Turn your virtue symbolism into action.

Wow. Virtue signal much?

Are you going to be calling for gun control in Ukraine?

Eventually he’ll get all of his green legislation passed and then everybody’s lights will be out.
