You came to us, because YOU need it." Igor Morozov, member of the Federation Council, mocks Shelby for suddenly changing his previously tough posture regarding Russia: "One of the main initiators of anti-Russian sanctions... he now says we’re a superpower & competitors... You bet we are competitors, in every area." Julia Davis Retweeted Julia Davis Don't think for one minute that these people want to be our friends.it's the normalization of treason, that matters. As far as I'm concern, the Republicans are just openly conspiring with the Russians in the upcoming attack on the 2018 elections. They've gotten just that brazen. Andrew Sherrod The funniest thing is this is a mirror image replay of the 60s and 70s when Quaker peace missions and liberal activists would go to the USSR, see selected sites, meet handpicked representatives and come home with glowing tales of the worker's paradise. And the Republicans used to relentlessly mock such visits. Now that it is the Russian nationalist paradise, it seems the right has completely forgotten all of that and are turning themselves into the "useful idiots" they once made fun of . Why is it the right has adopted almost everything I hated about the left? The group think, the collectivism, the big government policies, the ill-directed anger, the desire to tear things down without any idea what they will build in its place, the lack of clear cut principles ... It is truly disturbing how quickly the right has become the worst of the far left seen through a fun house mirror.
