Remember that time a group of Republican politicians visited Moscow on July 4th?
I sure remember Moscow Mitch the Bitch getting upset about being called Moscow Mitch after that but being proud of being called ‘Reaper’ for denying any bills brought forward to get anything done around that timeframe, yeah.
He got called Moscow Mitch before that - it was when he threatened to throw the government into lockdown if Obama revealed the extent of russian hacking and interference in the 2016 election.
He traded his duty to the Constitution in for a drunk rapist and an evangelical nut to sit on the Supreme Court.
Moscow Mitch.
Wait, actually? What the hell is the reasoning behind that? How did Americans vote him back in after that?
How did
AmericansKentuckians vote him back in after that?Voter suppression and some interesting statistical anomalies between the official results and exit polling, favoring the Republicans (that Democrats didn’t have much interest in calling attention to, for fear of lending credence to Trump’s claims of the election being stolen).
Speaking on Tuesday at the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden said the Obama administration sought a united front to dispel concerns that going public with such accusations would be seen as an effort to undermine the legitimacy of the election.
However, McConnell "wanted no part of having a bipartisan commitment saying, essentially, ‘Russia’s doing this. Stop,’ " he said.
At that point, Biden added, he felt that “the die had been cast” and that “this was all about the political play.”
“Had we known what we knew three weeks later, we may have done something more,” Biden added.
One would hope.
If someone wrote a story with Republicans doing that prior to 2016 no editor would ever publish it because it’s so ham-fisted. Like a political plot laid out in a comic for actual elementary school children.
I remember at the time wondering why that wasn’t a bigger deal.
Can we fucking stop pretending that republicans do not explicitly and blatantly work in Russia’s interests? They’re fucking traitors.
Media: Best I can do is some vague headlines that tip-toe the idea while also donating to republicans.
Just FYI, it’s part of Russian propaganda to create political division in the US. Labelling everyone in the party a traitor is playing right into their hands. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they help push this in left wing circles and you are inadvertently pushing Russian propaganda.
Any and all trump voters are traitors.
Good good. Help Putin.
My man, you are in denial.
Nah, I just don’t live in a bubble and don’t have to oversimplify the world into neat black and white categories. I’m capable of understanding complexity and nuance.
If they weren’t all in collusion to overthrow democracy they wouldn’t get labeled as traitors together. Like I would say Liz Cheney isn’t a traitor, she’s just a regular piece of shit.
“I think Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base,” House Foreign Affairs Committee chair and Texas Republican, Michael McCaul, told Puck News.
This goes in the (no shit sherlock) pile. Those of us who have been paying attention and saw the instant flip from red scare to licking putins asshole have known this for a good couple of decades now.
That’s the frustrating thing, it’s so blatantly obvious and out in the open. You’d never know it watching literally any conservative news source.
I’m all for free speech, but wish we had ways to label things as BS because a lot of ignorant people don’t know any better or care to know any better. So disappointing.
1984 levels of turnaround.
Fascist whines that another fascist has stolen their toy. News at 11.
idk if infected is the right word. More like eagerly impregnated.
If it’s not a legitimate brainwashing, the body has a way of shutting that down.
Deep cut.
Willful surrogate to Russian Propaganda, then.
Even in porn I haven’t seen anyone take so many loads with that much gusto as the Republican, NRA and everything related to the right wing has for the past several decades.
Top Republican says party base “Russia’s cum sluts”
Ftfy.
That’s disgusting. …And incredibly accurate.
Ol’ Mike doesn’t want to be held responsible for what he helped enable.
It is a misnomer calling a rotting corpse “infected”, it’s just rotting. If foreign powers like Russia join in on scavenging on the rotting flesh of the Republican Party they aren’t “infecting it”.
These foreign agents are only distinguishable from the internal forces of rot by virtue of having originated from outside the body, but in behavior and function they behave identically to the organisms waiting within that had been begun feeding the moment the surrounding entity died.
Well yeah, we know. It would’ve been nice if those dipshits had listened to us, like, 8 or 9 fucking years ago.
Not only the base. Or does he just differentiate between “swayed by propaganda” for the plebs and “blackmailed or bribed” for the party officials?
Impossible. Tucker Carlson is clearly an independent and reliable source. /s
Wow, no kidding.
Now if we only get many more of them to start conveying what is obvious, and in addition, get certain leftists to stop talking about “Russiagate” as if it is some kind of “hoax” that duped the “liberal media”.
What’s important about this is not that the public knows about it, but that someone from the party actually said the quiet part allowed.
We should be cheering for this person speaking out against not only a government party, but a party they themselves were in.
Here’s to a more brave and intelligent America.
I mean, yeah you’re absolutely right, but until he comes right out in the open and says “Vote for Democrats instead”, it’s all just a fucking shell game. The difference in moral fortitude required to say, “hey guys this is some messed up shit” versus “I’m leaving the room until you clean your mess up” is HUGE. He doesn’t have to switch parties, but as long as he sits at their table and votes in lockstep with every stupid partisan game they play, he doesn’t get my gratitude.
There’s a Slowpoke meme here, but I’m too lazy to make it.
Who the fuck is Puck News?
You can’t actually figure out jack shit about them from their website.
Thanks.
Those two big red X’s are enough for me to not find them credible as a source. Those are probably the two most important components of credibility: Who is paying for the work, and what are the conflicts of interest.
They know what they are doing, they just hate their own countrymen more than the Russians.
I don’t think they even hate the Russians. They imagine it is some kind of white ethnostate creating special privileges for cishet xtian white males.
Everyone needs to take a side.
Russia or Ukraine
Palestine or Israel
Liberty or Tyranny
Coke or Pepsi
Not, like, to do anything about it. Just to cheer while other people do the dying.
