Today made it official:

With Kevin McCarthy and Marjorie Shit For Brains gutting Ukraine funding from the spending bill, they made one thing perfectly clear.

The MAGA conspiracy theory fuckheads infecting Congress are Russian assets. They don't work for the United States or the people of the United States. Their allegiance is to Vladimir Putin. Time to root them out and expel and arrest them for the traitors they are.

Russia, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea. These countries are actively working against the rest of the civilized world. They all love Trump and authoritarianism.

As always, we’ll have to beat them at the ballot box. That’s the surest way to make them irrelevant.

the other day about Ukraine. He's a MAGA-head. He said to me that Ukraine should be given to Russia because who cares about Ukraine. I countered with the fact that Putin and the Russian talking heads have made it clear they will not stop with Ukraine. So I said (sarcastically) "why not just give Putin all of Europe, let him take Europe all the way to Spain and France and the Atlantic." It was then that he said "Oh no! That's ALL of Europe. We can't do that!"

Their hypocrisy through ignorance and bigotry will drive me crazy some day.

Russia DOES have an historic claim...

Facts have nothing to do with their imperial rationalizations dating to the time of the Czars.

I'm pretty confident Russia doesn't have that much money, with the ruble floating at about a penny in value

It is obviously what DT wants. He needs to do all he can to make putin happy if he is going to have a place to run to when / if serious people ever get in charge and take enforcement of our legal codes seriously.
