        Apparently Rubles spend as well as American dollars.

        Debatable. Blackmail is effective and often cheaper than you’d think.

        E.g. paying a couple thousand to get Matt Gaetz on camera banging a teenager, etc.

      They’ve been willingly regurgitating Russian Propaganda direct from the Kremlin for a very long time.

        Yes, but it would help if talking points where specifically noted and the people propagating them.

          We can start with the Republicans that went to Russia over the July 4th break a couple years ago. Rand Paul was the ringleader there.

          Those traitors can fuck right off.

          Who’s running cover for these turd circus clowns? Asking for examples when the past eight years are awash in them is not asking in good faith. Like, seriously, you can’t guess where to look, like at all? Not even in an internet search? Yeah right. Fuck off.

    Of course they are. Did we not see the old FOX news host literally go over to Russia to interview Putin and lap up every last bit of propaganda he fed him? They’ve been on Russian propaganda for years now.

    I think the simplest explanation here is that they’re getting it from their voters…who are getting it from Russian propaganda, but they just don’t care so long as they get reelected.

      They haven’t gotten shit from their voters in decades. They manufacture the issues then loop them on repeat in right wing media

        If they could operate without any voters at all, they would…

          Give them a few months. Throwing out election results they don’t like is a huge priority for them this year.

      The simplest answer is that they are getting it from Russian Propagandists. They repeat it because it riles their base and gets them engagement.
