Looks like we stopped protecting journalists around the world too:

Ten journalists who report for the networks are imprisoned across the globe - their access to legal and security assistance imperiled, according to a March report in the Columbia Journalism Review by Liam Scott.

The US has become the laughing stock over night.

I was right.

The far right in Germany seem to have their fans here in tbe states too, and in important places.

>>Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) asked Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to refrain from sharing intelligence with Germany's domestic intelligence agency days after the country's spy arm labeled the far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, as an "extremist" political party.
Cotton requested that, until Germany treats the AfD as a "legitimate opposition party" and not as a "right-wing extremist organization," Gabbard should direct the U.S. intelligence agencies to halt sharing intelligence with the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV).<<

And here I thought the only thing that Hawley could do was run from a far right crowd.

The Vice President and the head of Doge have pushed for the AFD, too.

Why are Republicans backing people who have ties with Nazis?

I was right.

Maybe they want Russia to invade and rid Germany of its Nazis?

Everything they say is total bullshit. Every excuse. Every plan. Every "conviction." It's all made up bullshit.

I was right.

The bullshit is worse when it gets refined and repeated by his apologists. It might sell as fertilizer but it's always going to be bullshit.
