When President Zelenskyy addressed a joint session of Congress yesterday, these assholes sat on their asses and refused to applaud:
ZELENSKYY now walking in to a huge applause from both sides of the aisle. Some members raising a Ukraine flag.

Spotted not clapping: Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz. Boebert sat back down before the applause was over.
Even MTG, who loves everything Russian and despises Ukraine, stood and applauded President Zelenskyy. Which is a bit of a surprise. I really thought she'd be in her office, polishig the glass on her autographed portraits of The Asset and his handler.During one standing ovation, Rep. Clyde (R-Ga.) was one of the few who didn’t stand. When Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) encouraged him to stand, Clyde seemed to mouth “I’m not. I’m not,” while shaking his head.

Boebert, Gaetz, Clyde and the rest are supporting Putin's war of aggression. They may say that they aren't, but by their inactions and their words, they are.
Let's be clear about this, folks. This war, as large as it is, is about more than Ukraine. It is about going back to the Law of Conquest. It is about whether or not the world will, once again, fully embrace the principle that Might Makes Right. It is about adopting the foreign policies of Hitlerian Germany, Imperial Japan and the Soviet Union. Anyone who has ever uttered a syllable of support for Tibet is morally bound to stand with the Ukrainians. Anyone who has been sympathetic to the people of Hong Kong or the thousands massacred at Tiananmen Square is duty-bound to stand with Ukraine.
Russia is a brutal nation. The time to put out this conflagration of aggression is now.
Slava Ukraini!
