There was a time the GOP would have fought tooth and nail against the Soviet Union. Now that it's called Russia, it funnels money to the GOP. They act as useful idiots to the Soviet Union 2.0.
And I can't figure out how people still support them. US citizens have a high tolerance for idiots.
Soviet Union was communist.
Putin is an autocrat.
Of course they love the dictator.
I blame Ronald Reagan. People think when he implored Gorbachev to “tear down that wall” that the US had penetrated the Soviet Union. We didn’t it fell apart and oligarchs seized power like warlords do. Now we have an autocratic regime that vehemently and violently crushes diversions to its goal of unlimited power. The same goal that the Republicans have.
Because followers of a cult are more concerned with harming others, even if it happens themselves slightly less.
They can't see past their own noses. They don't want any government spending on things that don't directly affect them in a beneficial way.
70 Putin's agents out themselves.
~~3000 black jets~~ 70 agents of Putin.
"My amendment is going to lose overwhelmingly when it is put up for a vote," said Gaetz. "But the American people will see who wants to represent them, and who wants to represent Crimea."
Thanks Matt, now we know who the Russian assets are in the House.
That's what I was thinking. We now know 70 Republicans are either absolute morons or traitors.
It’s because they’re cowards. They’ve always been.
They're not just cowards, they're greedy capitalists.
Economic systems exist beyond socialism and capitalism. The GQP want a dictatorship. Bend the knee or we'll use state power to punish you. If it was as simple as capitalism, Disney would still have their weird pseudo-government thing.
That's true that there are more systems, but I think most Republican politicians are just capitalists despite everyone playing the Christofascist game that was unlocked recently because Trump proved it wins votes. If they could win elections to be in power to steal more money just by being Bush neocons, then I think they'd do that.
There are a few true believers, just like with Christianity itself (albeit a distorted version), among Republicans but I really think they aren't so ideological at core. They have a price, and Putin paid it.
should focus greater attention on domestic issues
Ah yes, that will most definitely happen…
They should be billed for wasting time on writing up and voting on a bill that doesn’t have a chance in hell to pass.
Putin apologists taking orders from their Dear Leader Trump
Add Israel and Saudi Arabia to the list and they've got my support.
Хорошая новость! I understand correctly that the main thing is the well-being of America and Europe, and the Russians should die because they create problems.....
Russia is the largest country on the planet, with boundless natural resources. All they need to do is learn how to keep their armies within those massive borders, and they would be everyone's favorite trading partner. Instead, they do ... this. They don't need to die. They just need to go home.
