WELKER: You urged Congress to pass this law in Sen. Graham's memory. Do you agree with President Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russia? LANKFORD: He is choosing the American people first is what he's doing

…because we are weeks away from an election Trump is very afraid of. I hope folks can see this for what it is, yet another attempt at election influence.

I see the dream I had last week is making sense now see ever since I was little I have had the ability to see truths and future events in my dream I saw congress empty according to the angle I was it seems I was in the senate there was only a few people in there I heard the few people arguing over

what to do cause everyone had to be removed from what I can gather it seems our government has been infiltrated at every level thats whats going to get revealed for everyone to see the corruption is gonna be so bad that we won't have a functioning government theres gonna be empty positions

Lankford, who worked with Democrats to forge a bipartisan immigration law in advance of Trumpedo’s ascension in 2024 that he abandoned, demonstrating that HE IS INDEED STILL A GUTLESS EUNUCH!

The cowardice never ends. Perfectly willing to literally sacrifice the lives of our allies all to stay in the good graces of their orange cult leader. Shameful, shameful, shameful behavior. Vote all these people out.

Imagine their surprise when all the truth comes out and they are exposed as the craven liars they are. Embarrassed? I doubt it, none of them have a moral core. When has tRump EVER chosen the American people first? Never is the right answer.

“Helping the American People” by assisting Russia: a token move 2 confound his base. That’s all it is. Well, he does get 2 ingratiate himself with Putin, 2 kiss Russian ass What’s funny is, the same time he/they are telling us we must be austere, he’s making this token “Baffle ‘em w/Bullshit”

So lifting sanctions on Russia puts Ukraine at risk which in turn undermines America’s security. It’s a half baked policy shift. BTW, Lankford never said he supported the decision; he just gave the lame “American first” republican talking point.

When you're a Republican politician and you divorce 80% of the American people to continue your party's corruption and graft for political gain for the last 30 years I guess it's not that much more of stretch to publicly side with Russia. They're all f***ing traitors.

Let's be clear on one thing. Americans/America are not first in Trump world. Trump is first always. He wants Russia to win. The Russia/Ukraine conflict could have already been over had the USA provided a little help to Ukraine.

You can tell when MAGA possession is complete. You see it in blank hollowness of their eyes & hear it in flat, detached from reality inflection. I am American. I want Ukraine to survive because it is right. I don’t need additional rationales to tell me protecting the vulnerable is the moral choice.

Let's lift the lid on all the unfinished territorial disputes from WW1 and WW2, provide no international forums to manage the chaos and then hope to profit from the mess.

By undermining your allies and your values by supporting autocrats around the world? Fukking hells teeth, America has lost it's mind and soul. What a tragedy for all the world.

He isn't this stupid. He is this venal. The diesel in question - if delivered - is mere hours of consumption. The billions he's allowing to flow to Russia supports them continuing to kill children. Russia Russia Russia, as always with Trump, & Lankford is on side. Good boy. Here's a treat.

The pestilence is trying to walk this fine balance of grabbing money and not tempting his handlers to march him into the basement with his vile family to be sorted root and branch.

Pathetic, simpering toadies, terrified of saying anything which may be against the wishes of their glorious leader. Republican representatives appear to have lost the power of independent thought, along with their backbones!

Republicans love Putin, if Trump is America first, he would’ve never started the war with Iran, or colonized Venezuela, or the extra judicial boat killings. trump’s rhetoric is violent, loves the imagery of war, is not the peace loving guy he sells to his MAGA base.

If Welker was a good journalist he'd have followed up with "Cut the shit and explain how Trump's posture towards Russia is helping the American people?"

If you add a giant backdoor for trump to opt out of the sanctions for “reasons” then it was all just performative bs wrapped up in a “bill”

Trump's Energy Secretary is on the Sunday talk shows claiming Russia doesn't have any diesel to sell. When will these assholes get their stories straight?

Obvious follow-up question that never gets asked when these people do a 180 to stay true to Trump: So you think he's choosing the American people first by ignoring the law you voted for... so when YOU urged Congress to pass the law, you were voting against the interest of the American people???

Republicans reliably lying on Sunday shows is a given. Voters finally seeing through their BS? Let's hope the rebuke from "American people" in November smacks all of 'em upside the head.

He wasn’t focused on Americans when he didn’t want Republicans signing an immigration bill during Biden’s term.

Enjoy your 2 and 1/2 days worth of oil. Hope being held in such disdain by the rest of the world will be worth it for these aresholes. I wonder how many will turn tail and suddenly claim they didn’t support him when Trump dies.

Trump chooses himself and only himself in everything he does. The coward Republican in the House and Senate know this.

Why doesn't Trump end the f*cking war HE started to "help the American people" instead of sacrificing Ukraine to Putin his puppet master.

Next question from Welker should be: please explain to our audience how abandoning a democratic ally to back a murderous regime is in the best interest of the American people.

Correct. "Walk me through how this helps the US." Then follow up with, "But is that worth the destruction of the faith the world has in the US or even the many Ukrainian deaths that will result from this?"

That is pathetic. Either way, whether he believes the bullshit pouring out of his mouth or not, it's inexcusable for someone receiving the salary, benefits, privilege, and trust of a public servant from the American people to be so irresponsible and wrong. #FAIL

Ditto. There's never been more cowardice on display in the history of the world than what we're seeing right now in this moment from Republicans on Capitol Hill. And history WILL remember, Mr. Lankford, just how much of a coward you are. bsky.app/profile/kair... #2026Midterms #2026Elections

It’s the cowardice that gets me. Every damn time.

Republicans are spineless cowards - especially Lankford! And, this question should be going to Darline Graham today - who's likely hiding under her bed & won't come out until she thinks everyone has forgotten about it! #2026Midterms #2026Elections #SCsen #SCpol #RepublicansAreKillingUs
