We should send Russian flags to Senators who support Trump picking a SCOTUS now

We should tell the senators who are willing to consider any of Trump’s picks while he is under investigation for conspiring with Russia to commit election fraud that they should also just go ahead and bring a bill to the floor to swap out all the US flags for Russian flags in the federal buildings. At least there will some form of honesty coming out of the leadership in Washington. Send bouquets of Russian flags to their offices. Every Republican in the Senate should get a nice fat bouquet of Russian flags delivered to their offices with plenty of press around to record the excitement.

Putin now controls the Presidency of the US. As long as the spineless, immoral rethugs hold the majority in Congress, he controls that too. Now if he can manage to get these groveling Rethug pigs to castrate the remaining foundations of the Constitution, he will control the US like he does Russia. I don’t think I’m being paranoid here. I think this is what they’re going for. At least the ones that are awake. If he can deliver elections the way he delivered the presidency to Trump (who was SO surprised that his sugar daddy was able to pull it off) then the Trump family is in for good. Or as long as they do Putin’s bidding.

But I'm pretty sure they already have their Russian flags ready to go.

or thousands of them would be an easy symbolic form of protest. Remind them that they have no shame and are not representing the best interests of the United States of America and its citizens.

with a bunch of Russians.
I'd like to put it on postcards, preferably in Cyrillian writing, and mail it to certain of our representatives.
Phonetically it sounds like: nee-peez-dee.
Anybody know how to write it?

for their expensive suits. Send a thank you note saying how much the Russian government appreciates all they're doing to help destroy the USA.
