Putin The Work: Senate GOP votes to lift Russian Sanctions
- Thread starter BWoog
- Start date
Sad thing is like 15 years from now everyone will be talking about how Mitt is the beacon of modern conservatism, much like they did with McCain completely ignoring their actual record as politicians.
Good to see, Sasse actually voting the way he represents himself on TV (at least in regards to Russia)
Fucking facts.
I've always wondered if Putin saw that exchange, saw Obama downplay the Russians and realized he could do what he wanted and it would prove Obama to be wrong, so he did it. Obama would have to ignore his actions, or end up looking foolish by admitting he was wrong and Russia was a thread.
At least McCain sunk the ACA repeal. That, for anyone, would be a career defining moment.
Romney's claim to fame when all is said and done that he didn't vote on changing the name of a Post Office, or some such other worthless bullshit.
Remember during the primaries I think it was, when Trump opined that he could order Mittens to blow him and he would?
Guess it was true.
Guess it was true.
What is even the argument against these sanctions? Better relations with Russia means better business? God, this country is broken
I have no clue. I think she's saying we're going to get shit from them? I'm not sure what else it could mean, but I also don't know what we're trying to gain, according to her.
I know it's consistent on his past votes being against Russian sanctions already, but boy I wonder things would play out if there was enough R support (just 2 more) and if Bernie still refused to vote as #60
The GOP is a cancer on American democracy. They are a hurtful, destructive force, and the single most dangerous threat facing the American people, full stop. The history books will show this -- if we still have history books.
Five years ago everyone said you had to learn mandarin to survive. Looks like we should start learning russian instead ;)
Right? Nothing odd about that at all. Seems super normal.
They don't call him R (Russian) Money for nothing. Putin runs the executive and legislative branches of of our government. Soon he'll get another couple more judges when Clarence retires and RBG's slot opens up.
I'm freaking out if anyone has noticed.
God help the United States of America because the GOP certainly won't.

"Senator Mitt Mitt Binks has wisely thrown his support behind Chancellor Palpatine in order to ensure we have leverage over the Galactic Trade Federation and the Separatists".
So the government is shut down and there's one important vote and that can't be moved?
And what about his history of voting with Republicans on this issue?
As I've been asked many, many times for other things: was he the deciding vote?
Who is that bearded goof, and why are you reposting his conspiracy theories?
What about these:
Bernie Sanders voted with Republicans against Russian sanctions:
2012 Magnitsky Act- Nay
2014 Russia Sanctions- Nay
2017 Russia Sanctions- Nay (twice)
Today, didn't vote
Bernie is batting 100% for the Kremlin with his votes
(Also the woman in your avatar threw her support behind Jill Stein and helped get Trump elected, and Bernie's chief strategist Tad Devine worked for pro-Russian candidates alongside Paul Manafort, so do you really have a problem with Bernie not voting against Russian interests?)
Posting a senator's voting history is a "conspiracy theory"?
Why does this matter with regards to this conversation?
Everything. Nothing. Personally, I don't really care about the sanctions. If it's important to you, go right on ahead and criticize. I was just posting the reason why he missed today's vote.
I gotta be brutally honest, I was, and still count myself as, a bernie bro. I'm all in with his movement, but Tad Devine was his chief strategist. And if you follow the trail of shit, it'll lead you straight to Manafort and a ton of Russians. Devine and Manafort worked in the same circles and were basically buds. He was the first witness in Manafort's trial for a reason, so we already know he's all in Mueller's radar.
And then you have the hack on Hilary's campaign back then before we knew how deep the Russians were getting in our politics....
Just saying...

Romney wasn't the deciding vote either, are you going to complain that people in this thread are being mean to poor Mittens?
I thought so.
Strange thread to be in if you don't care about Russian sanctions, since that's literally all that it's about, gotta defend Bernie though...
Yup, so sad to see that thread here a few weeks ago about if "romney is good?"
He never was and he never will be.
I don't care about Mitt Romney.
Russian oligarchs are bad, but we don't even scratch at the surface of domestic oligarchs. I choose to expend my energy on more domestic issues unless it's stuff like imperialism
TRUMP HAS BEEN SO HARD, THE HARDEST PROBABLY, ON RUSSIA. MORE THAN EVERYONE EVER.
so let's just leave them alone from now one guys. Right? Right.......
Why shouldn't we deal with both? And really, aren't the two problems deeply intertwined?
Whataboutism, a tactic mastered by the Soviet Union / Russia...

1. Opposing the two are in no way mutually exclusive. And the Russian oligarchs have done plenty to fuck with "domestic issues" in case you haven't noticed.
2. Yes who cares if the oligarchs are Americans or Russians who represent the interests of a hostile foreign power trying to destroy the US... same difference!
He's already gone against everything his friend John stood for, what's one more
So, for the record, this seems to be about the vote split that would happen on an indictment if Mueller suggests impeachment.
You'd think Mittens would at least ask McConnel to be one of the no votes so he could LOOK like he's anti-russia without actually changing the results.

I guess you didn't notice the aggressive insinuations you were obviously advertising.
