      Kind of lacks the nuance of a House of 435 Representatives and Senate of 100 who write, amend, vote, rewrite, vote again, discuss, and vote a third time with a majority or sometimes even a 2/3rd majority in order to pass laws. All of this in one of the most politically polarized times in history.

      You don’t need to have more sway than the whole of congress. You just need to convince like 80 people and then nothing will ever get done again.

      I have one guess. There’s absolutely 0 evidence for it so maybe I am just fooling myself that it is plausible when it isn’t.

      But, a bunch of people have been suddenly turning anti-Russia recently who were previously very cool with it. Something changed. My unfounded theory is, more criminal charges are coming for people who have been agent-ing for Russia, and McConnell and the other lawful evils are trying to just emphasize that they’re nowhere near those charges, no how sir.

        Did the Russian checks start bouncing?

          I mean, honestly? That might be another explanation. Some combination of sanctions, effective counterintelligence, or “Ukraine is getting their weapons so what the hell are we paying you for” blocking the payments.

          Russia’s not running out of money any time soon (not on the scale of the laughably small amounts that it takes to corrupt people in the US government), but there are other reasons why people might not be getting their checks anymore. And Rand Paul is still going strong, where he’s one of the people who’s just motivated by some absolutely cockeyed internal compass that gravitates unerringly to the wrong answer on absolutely everything, so that would track, too.

            Such a beautiful description of Rand Paul.

            Its like he knows the rught way but will not act that way unless paid to.

            Very liberdashian.

        With the Europeans dismantling a propaganda and bribe network Europe-wide, the Germans catching their far-right taking money directly from Russia, I suspect they’re hedging their bets.

        Most of the money goes to US weapons manufacturers. The weapons manufacturers are very big political donors.

        You can create all the hoo har you want, to “energise your base”, but when to music stops and it’s time to vote , you do as you are told and get that public money into hands of the defence contractors as quickly as you can.

        MTG found this out yesterday when she was publicly called an idiot : unhinged rant about Jewish space lasers ? No problemo. Put $90bn of weapons money at risk ? You’re a lunatic.

    Look, Moscow Mitch can bite my shiny metal ass on exactly 100% of the issues except support for Ukraine. I’m glad he’s still onboard even though I really, really, really don’t like him at all.

    Still. Let’s get russia packed up and kicked out and then we’ll get back to everything else.

      I really don’t care what any politician says. Trump and Carlson do not hold elected offices, they should have zero say in any government matter, foreign or domestic. Their alarmingly close alignment with particularly adversarial foreign entities should further disqualify anything they say.

      Seems.

      He could have been on the right side and convict Trump when he was impeached twice. And he didn’t.

      So, if he’s saying this, it’s because of some sinister motive we don’t know. Fuck him.

    why do two people that are not in government have anything to do with this, and if they are give advice it should be declared that they are lobbyists for these things.
