Putin literally funneled money to the GOP and Republicans don't care one iota.

I wish, oh how I wish, the situation were different.

But the current GOP seems to be beholden to Pres Putin, for whatever reason.

Putin is still funneling money to Trump.... billions will come to him when the DWAC lawsuit is settled.

But still, at about a billion per Republican vote, this is pretty expensive; Vlad must be getting something else.

Sorry I do not trust anything the Democrats or their media cronies say because they politicize everything and now will do anything to grab power.

Sounds practically Ferengi to me.
But then again it is easy to think
of Rethugs as ugly, greedy little
space trolls...

The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition

Once you have their money, you never give it back.
Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to.
Never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity.
Keep your ears open.
Opportunity plus instinct equals profit.
Greed is eternal...
A deal is a deal.
All deals are final.

That's OK. We don't trust or believe anything you say either because you are a WOB.

Carry on with your wasting of bandwidth.
