MAGAS & The Kremlin
A native Minnesotan, I left the country in 2011, furious, heart-broken and horrified, seeing the GOP work to dismantle the great Democracy I grew up in. I found a new home in Ukraine. In 2014, as we fought off the Kremlin tools who were ruling us, the GOP, via Sen. McCain, armed the neo-Nazi faction. In 2015, invertebrate Lindsay Graham asserted the GOP was too classy to permit racist scum like Drumpf to represent them. Despite vast evidence of Kremlin interference in 2016, Tortoise Mitch made sure there was no investigation. Drumpf was impeached for the first time for trying to blackmail Ukrainian President Zelyenskyy by withholding promised aid, which we needed to help keep the Kremlin at bay. Drumpf coined the term ‘fake news,’ (defined as a reality denied by his team.) In Russia now, The Kremlin imprisons people who tell lies about the war, (defined as ‘calling it a war’ or ‘stating the truth.’) When the Kremlin attacked us this February, the only ones who rejoiced were The Kremlin, Drumpf, the GOP & the oligarchs.

Drumpf then attempted a coup. He incited his disciples to arm themselves and storm the capital, to disrupt and prevent a peaceful transfer of power, (a hallmark of American history), nearly unique amongst the nations of the world. No surprise then that he praised Putin for attempting to overthrow a Democratically-elected President. Neither the GOP nor the Kremlin has any use for women, the poor, people of color, the free press, education, homosexuals, or the oppressed. They both worship nothing but money and power; to cling to power they suck the dicks of the oligarchs. The Repugnicunts destroyed my homeland; now they’re trying to team up with The Kremlin to destroy my new home. I can find only one difference between these two groups; only one admits they’d like to destroy the US, so I guess the Kremlin is more honest. Given a choice, I seriously doubt most Russians would choose to be pawns of the oligarchs, yet 25–30% of Americans seem more than willing to discard their freedoms, rights and history to grovel at the feet of a tyrant, simply because he hates a lot of the same people as they do.
