When did the Republican Party become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russian oligarchy?

[Augiedog]

Just asking, cause, well....good grief. Did opioids do this? I mean just what are these dumb asses thinking?

Rhetorically speaking of course. I don’t expect anyone to be able to explain what has happened to these fools.

1. Did McConnell and others start taking KGB money even before the traitor in the WH

started his run?

Here is what we know, mcconnell or for that matter any repub will do anything, anything at all no matter how many are destroyed or die if
in the process there is power or money in it.

They are scum, and they are fast forwarding us to the annihilation of the human race.

2. "explain what has happened to these fools."

Follow the money.... For me it always gave the good answers.

3. They go to where the power and money are--

Always did.

Also, they think of Russia as "truly white" ("They put the Caucasus in Caucasian!&quot
Putin was a KGB agent, that is, a USSR operative, and we know he hasn't really changed-- not "communist" anymore, but still wants to be a superpower dictator.
But the GOP thinks he's useful. (And he thinks they are stupid/useful.)

4. Well...

2018: Trump has had contacts with the Russian mafia for 35 years

2014: Rudy Giuliani: Unlike Obama, Putin is “what you call a leader”

2002: Gingrich says "I think that you're likely to see an emerging continuing American-Russian friendship."

I'm sure there's more. Republicans probably got interested as soon as they saw the very wealthy Putin and his oligarchs making millions privatizing the public assets of the former Soviet government after taking over the Russian government.

5. Raygun and HW MADE SURE that American hostages DIDN'T get released under Carter's watch

They may not have been with Russia then, but they were already traitors to the US.
