I think the GOP are tickled pink Russia is putting their foot on the scale

of American politics. That's the 'Trump coalition' in actual fact. Transnational as political coalitions get. I don't think the GOP mind feeling interconnected to authoritarians and oligarchs around the world. Not so lonely taking wealth and security away from millions when you have friends who have your backs. And who you can laugh at others with. They are looking like the cats who swallowed canarys. There was a time when as Americans they felt interconnectedness with other Americans.

when it comes to money matters. What they don't get is that Putin has a boat load of kompromat on them as well and won't hesitate to use it when the time comes. Oh, I want to see them get burned by Putin!
