I don’t see the contradiction, Russia went from the center of a nominally socialist union to a hypercapitalist libertarian dictatorship, of course the Republicans are going to try and support it.
It's so crazy how true that is.
If you follow politics, the recent deal between Biden, Democrats, and the Republicans gave Republicans everything they supposedly wanted for border security. They aren't voting for it because Trump wants to keep hitting Biden on that issue during the election. It's fucking insane.
Is this true?
It is, but I'm the guy that originally said it, so you shouldn't trust me. Here's an article about it, and another article here.
It almost makes me wish for the good oa' days of McCarthyism, just to see the shocked Pikachu faces. And, boy, Julius & Ethel were lightweights compared to today's traitors; the electric chair would be going nonstop for a long while until the House was truly cleaned out.
Yup. Super dark period in US history, and a tragic couple, regardless of their crimes. Not a good look for us.
Yeah I don't know what's worse, cozying up to dictators or looking for 'commies' behind every curtain.
Both stink. Fascists, either way.
