At this rate I'm awaiting her proposal to name a street in Brighton Beach "Vladimir Putin Way" in honor of his peace efforts in Eastern Europe.

> In February 2022, Jordan received criticism for justifying the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine by falsely claiming that the Revolution of Dignity was a coup led by the United States, European Union, and NATO.[14] She said, "In 2014, the U.S. helped overthrow Ukraine’s democratically elected leader in an illegal coup, helped install a fascist government and empowered a far right military all with the goal of destabilizing Russia."

it's amazing how easy it is to predict a politician's dipshit views on one subject just by knowing their views on an entirely unrelated subject. of course she's pro Russia.

They overthrew the Russian puppet leaders and let the Ukrainians democratically elect a leader that they wanted. It was the first time in centuries that Ukraine wasn’t controlled by Russia in some form.

The US absolutely should do coups when it advances our interests. Like it or not, we are all subject to natural selection.

That one point is the only part of what she said that’s even up for debate. The rest is just literally simping for a dictator (Putin) and calling Ukraine’s post-Maidan government fascist.

It’s just the usual “everything the west does is imperialism and bad” drivel you get from certain morons on the left.

Slightly funnier if you do it in one of Bill Burrs character voices

Basically saying, "Jews aren't actually a minority and they can go fuck themselves."

Also basically saying, "all Jews are white and can just blend in with the rest of us white people"

Tankie City Counselor: We should name the street after the guy who openly hated Jews and made allies with Nazis.

Jews: Wow, that seems fucked up

Tankie City Counselor: Buncha uppity white people don't matter.

You: Yeah, shut up Jew. She didn't mention you.

This country is built and ran by people who openly hate Blacks and Hispanics.

Okay? And this city counselor is someone who is running things who openly hates Jews it appears.

Are Jews supposed to celebrate when the color of the people that hate them in charge changes?

Because she voted for the street sign. Hispanics and Blacks are expected to vote for people who don't represent our best interests all the time. Everyone actually.

Yikes. That's very specific language right there, doing its best to dismiss any criticism anyone has. Basically "I know this is wrong, but I can say it in a way that makes it okay."
