I'm trying to separate the "these tax cuts are paid for" and "this medicare-for-all bill is paid for" claims from the "this blatantly corrupt thing our leader did was not corrupt, actually it was completely justified" claim. Important to distinguish between standard political stuff and batshit crazy justifications.
Rachel Maddow spent years reporting that the American president was a veritable Russian pawn.
We have a poor guy on this forum who goes around calling the Senate Majority Leader "Moscow Mitch", as if one of the highest ranking politicians in our most august political institution is one of Putin's personal stooges. Do you think he came up with that himself? He's a product of Democratic media. It's modern day McCarthyism.
Meanwhile we have serious Democratic candidates advocating for open borders, an affirmative right to abortion, and race reparations. Second place is an avowed socialist who emulates Latin American dictatorships.
