"... democracy is at risk...'

Governor Jay Inslee can’t identify Ukraine on a map but wants Washingtonians to know he stands firm with Ukrainians. After all, Inslee knows what it’s like fighting for democracy. The governor is now pretending Russia’s assault on Ukraine is similar to unarmed Americans rioting at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
Inslee hosted Finnish President Sauli Niinistö at the state capitol for a legislative address and press conference. It was the first time a foreign leader addressed the state Legislature. The focus of the remarks was on energy and climate change, as we’re partners with the country on transportation and technology. But a reporter asked Niinistö to reflect on Russia’s war with Ukraine. After appearing to forget Inslee’s name, the president explained the war is about maintaining democracy. Inslee, eager for a cabinet position within the Biden administration, jumped in to establish his geopolitical bona fides.
War in Ukraine is like January 6? Inslee’s response was meandering and, at times, nonsensical. But his bizarre comparison between the war in Ukraine to the riot on January 6 should earn some raised eyebrows.
“Gravity is fixed, and nobody thinks it’s at risk. But democracy is not fist… fixed, and democracy is at risk,” Inslee said. “And the attack on democracy that’s going on in Ukraine right now, to some degree, is similar to the attack on January 6 on the U.S. Capitol. That there is alive, unfortunately, and well, on the planet, efforts to diminish the sanctity of democracy, at least in my view, and I think the state of Washington. ...

That’s not an ignorant statement. It’s effective propaganda.
I am so sick of these people. We lost this country, I have no representation. I’ll probably vote third party if there is not a conservative on the ballot.
I’ll bet the dumbass couldn’t even find the Ukraine and Russia on a globe if they had push pins stuck into them. Just another retarded, far left politician. Dumber than a box of rocks.
Washington State has not had a democratically elected governor in a couple of decades. Thanks Dominion and mail in ballots!!
Eastern Washington should sign on to the Greater Idaho project. (I’m in western Washington, I wish my purple county would sign on to it as well.)
Sadly you’re almost certainly correct. I was reading a thread on Twitter this morning ‘#TuckerCarlsonIsALiar’- very eye opening about the degree of separation there is out there. People saying Ashli Babbit ‘deserved to die,’ and other nuggets of wisdom. I can’t shake the feeling we are on the verge of something catastrophic.
I haven’t looked in awhile but I believe several Eastern Counties have already voted to join ‘Greater Idaho.’
I'll tell you what's catastrophic, we lost. Our representatives are uniparty hacks and the media is 99% leftist propaganda, look at the pile on about Tucker simply telling the truth. We are in heap big trouble.
That’s my idiot governor. Now the state legislature is getting ready to pass a law requiring me to get the state’s permission (license) before I can buy a firearm.
Call up the Washington National Guard and send them to Ukraine.
I didn’t know the Ukrainians escorted the Russians into Kiev.
Learn something every day that inslee is a smart one
He’s known as Jaydolph Dimslee for a reason.
Both are a sham, so he is sorta right!
“We lost this country, I have no representation. I’ll probably vote third party if there is not a conservative on the ballot.”
Other than empowering Democrats, what would that accomplish?
Then the U.S. should have sent tanks and all sorts of munitions to ward off the war against the capital.
Tell me why voting for a RINO like Liz Cheney has helped the GOP cause. Or Adam Kinzinger?

There were PLENTY of party-line votes where they voted with us. Nothing like that happens with ANY Democrat, Manchin included.
Got it, so for some party line votes they should be excused for the damage they have done to hundreds of lives. Yea, that's not good enough for me.

As long as you think a DEMOCRAT is better, I really cannot help you, but maybe someone in your family can.
