Yeah! We usually puppet the dictators! This is all wrong!
-
Any Republican with the capability to be embarrassed has left the party. Anyone remaining is complicit.
-
That woman needs to stay the hell away from open windows.

The post-Reagan GOP has only ever been about more government, more police, more fascism. She's fallen for the classic blunder of assuming that fascists ever argue in good faith. They don't give a shit that they talk about being the party of small government and yet can't wait to use techno-feudalism to make sure that gay people aren't secretly having sex. They're not arguing for small government in good faith and never have done.
-
This is the bastard child of capitalists and fascists. They both need each other and both think they are in charge of the other.
The real truth time and time again for 10k years is labor has the power.
-
I think that crap resonates with people because they think smaller government = lower taxes. If there’s one thing conservatives love to obsess about more than other people’s genitals it’s money. Even if they’re poor and pay a negative tax rate.

If Republicans could feel shame I’m sure they’d be very upset
-
Anyone with integrity, morals, or even a backbone was pushed out many years ago.
-
My grandfather, who took a pistol off a dead Nazi doctor in the 14th Armored Division, quit the Republican Party when they had those Purple Heart Band Aids.
I guess if you get one after waking up under the body of your dead friend you don’t get the joke.

But not upset with themselves, upset that society hadn't lowered the bar far enough for them to not feel shame for their actions.

Why are Vermont reps so based??? Isn't Bernie also from there?
-
Vermont is awesome, we’re planning to move there once our family situation changes, but it may be a few more years of caretaking before we can. In the mean time we’re trying to keep the state we’re in at least purple as long as possible.
-
Democrat stronghold. No worries about Republicans picking up seats.
-
-
Lady, the states have always supported dictators that were friendly to them (often because they were installed BY the USA, like Fulgencion Batista, Manuel Noriega, Augusto Pinochet, to name a few)
"waa waa trump is a russian puppet"
Karma sure is a bitch, huh? Enjoy.

I upvoted this comment, but schadenfreude isn’t a good look anywhere.
-
You haven't thought this out, have you? Unless you are happy that the US President is taking Putin's orders, eventually abandons NATO and lets Russia invade the Baltic nations? Is that what you mean by WAA WAA KARMA IS A BITCH?
-
...Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, before being betrayed by the US of course.
-
-
And all it took for Republicans to get on board was the threat of primaries funded by Trump's multi-billionaire buddy.
-
I mean, that’s all we know in the open. I seriously doubt there weren’t background threats and bribes.
-
There's always organic threats too from the
brownshirtredhat thugs -
There are always background threats. It is politics after all.
-
-
The True President.
-
-
TBO US supported dictators before, Pinochet, Marcos, Saddam, Suharto, Batista and others.
This is the first time for a major land. Still scary and absurd tough.
-
The bare minimum, that's all people want. Show a fucking backbone and rage!!!!!
-
I dunno, as a non-empty subset of "people", I want more than rage. I want action. Spare me your tears, spare me your anguish, spare me your irascible outcry. Arrest the people breaking federal laws every single day, and if no action is taken by those who have abdicated their duty, ensure they abdicate their posts, through main force if necessary.
-
Showing life would be a start. Instead we get this....

-
Becca is 100% correct.
-
That’s my rep! Glad that the little State of Vermont has sane representatives in both chambers of congress.
-
Why the fuck are they waiting until after he came into office to hammer home the Russian ties and really bring it to the forefront?
-
It's literally a quote from his debate vs Hillary.
-
That's find but I mean why does it pop up in the news after it is too late? I certainly noticed a LOT more press and comments about it in recent weeks. It is really fucking weird and infuriating.
-
-
They've literally been saying this shit for 10 years, it just doesn't make it into the algorithms during election season.
-
Because they are cockroaches and only act for their own survival.
-
-
Current political stage is more left vs right, progressive vs conservative, woke vs antiwoke. Russia is ally of conservatives, because their politics are far right conservative.
-
I think you're missing proletariat vs. bourgeoisie. The tarrifs are a direct attack from each capitalist nation on its working class. They do not net negatively hurt capital. On the contrary they allow a manufacturing of concent for further suffering the working class of each nation will endure while the capitalist class of each nation will further strengthen the nationalism of each country. And further concentrate wealth in fewer hands.
"America first", "Buy European", etc. These are all excuses to further worsen the material conditions of its people, build it's nationalism and xenophobia, and build concent for more war.
-
That's not quite right. Russia is not conservative in the American sense of the term, although they are far right in terms of authoritarian rule. They're an oligarchy. But their 10-year psy-op against American conservatives has been incredibly successful. They are up to their eyeballs in Russian conditioning and behavioral modification.
It's actually incredibly impressive. Turns out that Russia won the Cold War, and their greatest former adversaries (American conservatives) ended up being the United States' weakest link at the end of the game. Endlessly fascinating stuff.
-
They are ultra conservative in internal politics and in public opinion, which is of course controlled by their state controlled media.
Russia's internal policies are wet dreams of American conservatives.
Much of this situation is because of the Russian long running psyop campaign against American public opinion. Dividing nations is default Russian psyop playbook. They have been done that all over the world, and they are proud of it.

Thank You Representative Balint!!
-
She got it backwards, they side with Trump because Russia said so.
-
She NEVER thought? Was she in a coma during 2016-2020?
-
Oh boy do I have bad news for you:
-
Terrorists? No, no, they were Freedom Fighters, for realsies!!
-
-
-
“But what about this money I’m getting?”
-
Why won't Republicans do something?
-
She’s talking about Biden? That fucker was complacent long before his brain rotted away and he because the president.
-
You sound triggered. Take a break.
-
Biden is not the current president. And despite his many other faults, Biden did definitely not support Russia.
-
-
… remind me why they’ve waited so long to say this? Ah yes, deep down they support this too.
-
Meanwhile USA dollar is top currency of the world due to business they did with Saudi Arabia 40-50 years ago. And Europe have not said anything bad for Saudi Arabia either.
