Russians want to hurt America. And they believe the way to do that is get Trump elected. And Republicans and 1/3 of Americans are all like "yeah! Trump is what we need. He'd be so tough on Russia!" And even if we could get them to acknowledge the logical flaw in their thinking, they wouldn't change their minds.
OT but "distant, economically depressed areas in Russia"? Can't they just say gulags. I can't imagine those people are faring particularly well. Is Russia keeping track of who they are and where they are? Will they ever get home again? My heart hurts.
Yeah, but they are deep inside the bubble. Just like Faux viewers, they are not getting reliable info. And just like the recent study of Faux viewers who were paid to watch CNN, if they had reliable info, their view would change dramatically.
I'm not saying we should lift sanctions. But we should do whatever we can to get the real information disseminated inside Russia. That, along with the misery brought by the sanctions would be a lot more effective than the sanctions alone (ie, this is Putin's & the crooked oligarchy's fault).
If they can fan the flames of division here in the US, the least we can do is return the favor.
Yep. Turnabout is fair play. It's time to take the gloves off and really hang this albatross around the repugs' necks.
Since the Putinescas use those loathsome talking heads from Faux in their propaganda, the Dems should just build an add showing clips of this guy, with subtitles, implicating those same useful idiots and blowing up the stupid "Russian Hoax(tm)" crap that Turnip continues to peddle. Maybe remind them that he was impeached for this and give them a list of the repubs that refused to convict.
Maybe a montage of all the repub politicians who were Putin apologists w/scenes of executed civilians lying in the streets. Maybe a reminder that Turnip was impeached for refusing to aid Ukraine w a list of repubs that refused to convict.
The russians are outright admitting to everything the Senate Committee found to be true, and further explaining that it's russia's SOP & ongoing. Even a deranged Magat would have trouble rationalizing that.
To be clear, Mariupol is already getting close to being fully razed to the ground. Mariupol is where Russia intentionally bombed a theater that was marked "children." Mariupol is where the mayor is estimating that at least 10,000 civilians have been killed, a number that could in actuality be as high as 20,000, where corpses are "carpeted through the streets."
Still sounds a lot better than having a summit at Mar-a-Largo.
Again, can't read this today. But what we have here is russia, yes, and russia-suckers in politics and the media, yes. But we also have those who voted third party and we have those who didn't feel like voting that day, and we have closet misogynists who just couldn't vote for a woman. And anyway, the woman was shrill. And anyway she was a Clinton. And, as always, we had and continue to have the MSM.
I had not really thought about her because I don't think Falsi Blowhard is worth wasting brain cells on but she may very well be trying to sneak on to a Rethug ticket in 2024 as a token bi-partisan joke candidate. She is so far off the radar as a Dem that she isn't even able to register a blip.
I think there were some but not on the scale as those on Russia, But don't quote me on that.
The Tunguska meteorite is estimated to have impacted the Earth with an explosion of 300-315 dB. So, louder than that. Maybe.

They are doing it all out of spite.
"...most empires weren’t conquered, they were destroyed from within."
May this be the projection you deserve, Putin.

They can't let go of decorum?

How do they have any advertisers left?
That mayor Adams can't respond because he's isolating with the 'Rona (this fucking guy...)
Man, the bloom came off that rose hella fast.
As Biden told some bimbo, "Sanctions don't deter. They are to change behavior."

About an attraction to Tom Cotton, not so much.
Then whatever his animating force is. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go take a silkwood shower after admitting that.
