Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) on Sunday called on the United States to "fight for Democracy" in Ukraine even though she voted against protecting voting rights in America.

The remarks were made just days after Ernst joined every Republican in the Senate to obstruct an attempt by Democrats to protect voting rights.

They see it as against Democrats no matter what the issue. Even if they are for it.

have apparently proposed sanctioning Russia now before Russia gets any closer to Ukraine. Presumably as a deterrent to show them we mean business.

"Preemptive punishment" seems kind of stupid and provocative.
