Would R's sink this low?

We know they're holding up funding for Ukraine and doing Putin's bidding by using his talking points to smear Joe Biden.

But would they actually go along and parrot Putin's effort to blame the terrorist attack on Ukraine? Would they do it to weaken Biden and support their desire to not approve funding?

I can see them doing it. So far the freedumb caucus has never seen a Russian talking point and smearjob they don't like.

The answer is yes, they will stop at nothing.

Shit they’ve been trying to shut down every government we’ve had with a D president for as long as I’ve been politically aware.

Who they are being ordered by is Koch, Leonard Leo, The Federalist Society, The Club For Growth and all the other christo-fascist orgs out there. And lets not forget Putin. I know he's in there funding them somehow.

They got their marching orders from Sean Hannity and they're tanking the government on purpose to please their Fox News masters.

Fox isn't a news network, it's an existential threat to the United States.
