In response to little Marco Rubio’s letter to Russia on June 12, 2025:

@Marco Rubio HOW DARE YOU speak for me and millions of other Americans when you congratulate Russia on continuing its heinous and disgusting quest to harm and murder innocent people? You do NOT speak for me! I do not wish Russia well. I wish it the same kind of HELL it has been inflicting on others for years. Go screw yourself, you asshole.

So Lindsey Graham’s statements and supports for sanctions on Russia are performative or will get him kicked out of the clubhouse? Can’t rule out either, of course. Apparently, the WH is pressuring Graham now, per some reports. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-seeks-weaken-senator-lindsey-174656874.html

Thanks for the heads up. I'll dig into it. Lindsey's days are numbered. I think he's scrambling right now.

I agree. Seems that several Senators are scrambling now but they all seem to fall back into line eventually, unfortunately.

So true. Only a handful have any gumption. I know they’re up against a mob boss who keeps lists and digs up dirt. But we need more of them to just do the right thing.

I truly hope that Graham and the other Congresspeople who support these sanctions do not give in.

Thanks for jumping in Betsy. It was in the image, but I should have included it in the text as well. It's fixed now.

Here it is

On behalf of the American people, I want to congratulate the Russian people on Russia Day.

The United States remains committed to supporting the Russian people as they continue to build on their aspirations for a brighter future. We also take this opportunity to reaffirm the United States’ desire for constructive engagement with the Russian Federation to bring about a durable peace between Russia and Ukraine. It is our hope that peace will foster more mutually beneficial relations between our countries.

Rubio did mention Ukraine. Not that it makes it any better.

He did mention Ukraine, in a "you guys should kiss and makeup because we can't do anything" kind of way. Now that Trump's big blustering brags have fallen flat.

Almost threw up in my mouth when I read Rubio’s letter to Russia.

How much more obsequious can you get while pretending you don’t support the Kremlin and Mad King Donald.

The image she included has the whole text. It was pretty short. https://www.state.gov/releases/2025/06/russia-national-day/
