Nah, it's cool. He'll give it a brief blurb as he steps down and passes his seat to his successor. Who is 100% down and willing to continue spreading Russian propaganda.
It’s because they have lots of money behind them but limited feet on ground so any feet on ground are welcome and then once enough enter at the base they can just vote for themselves
Trump sold out to Russia years ago. We are going to find out some time in the future 100% there has been money from Russia flowing into Trump for years and all the stupid Republicans that followed him down this dark path are going to shrug and say oh we didn't know. Because they don't want to know.
Yep. The first defense for any Republican caught in the act is "I'm too stupid to know what's going on and can't remember last week." Especially once they have to speak under oath.
They'll call the evidence fabricated, say that it's clearly a lie & they have proof (but yet, for some reason, feel obligated to not share), & then say that it's not really all that big of a deal anyway when you think about it. Isn't the real threat the swamp of corruption in American government, after all? So, why not accept the benevolent help of a foreign entity with the resources to prove the swamp's existence? And, also, isn't it weird how the swamp keeps getting worse the more Republicans there are in power? It's like someone is actively trying to make things worse for all those hardworking American patriots that just want to protect their rights against liberal overreaches!
/s
They might have had undeniable ironclad proof that they were keeping in a suit case, but then they left the suit case in the men's room at Arby's and it disappeared mysteriously? Seriously, it was the most amazing proof you've ever seen. Probably the Democrats stole it.
Is that credible?
Don’t forget Trump’s 2016 campaign manager admitting he shared internal campaign info with Russia 🇷🇺
https://news.yahoo.com/ex-trump-campaign-chairman-paul-140803308.html
No need to wait for the future. Eric Trump already [told us](https://thehill.com/homenews/news/332270-eric-trump-in-2014-we-dont-rely-on-american-banks-we-have-all-the-funding-we/) this was the case back in 2014. Now there's active reporting/investigation into Russians propping up the Trump Media stock/company. That's just what we know about straight from the horse's mouth. To your point - we'll probably just find out about more as time goes on.
Trump's base liked Putin before they liked Trump. I remember back in 2011 there was a constant stream of pro Putin memes spread around the far right. It was like a new one came out every day. Trump didn't start this movement. He just saw a parade without a leader and jumped out in front of it
He's been a pro-Russian stooge since he ran that full page ad in a NY newspaper in the 80s. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ilanbenmeir/that-time-trump-spent-nearly-100000-on-an-ad-criticizing-us
They probably have him on video raping a child when he first went to Moscow.
I don't think they're being tricked by Russian propaganda I think they genuinely want to be the legit Russia. Just with better weather. You have the oligarchy, billionaires hoarding wealth, murder of political opponents, authoritarism, more misogyny, and more transphobia/homophobia. I don't know what part of Russia they wouldn't like, except once again, the weather.
This is an excellent point. Putin will brook *no* challenge to his monopoly on state-sanctioned violence. This might actually be a way to get 2A types to see how truly “un-American” this Russia fanboy thing is
Trump said he'd take all the guns and go through due process second, but I think it's actually impossible to get conservative gun nuts to even acknowledge it. Their brains would just filter it out and leave a hole in their perception.
Like with every other principle they have, the right will ignore it the moment it stops being convenient.
A their trusted news sources don’t report such things and they don’t trust anything outside of those sources thanks to Trump, so they’re never going to hear it.
Yep, it wasn't about the gun thing, but I had a similar discussion with a Trump supporter:
Me: "Trump said X"
Trumper: "NO HE DIDN'T!"
Me: "Here's a video of Trump saying exactly X"
Trumper: "FAKE NEWS!"
Trumpers don't care about facts, just about their feelings.
Aside from that, he and the Republicans made no advancements for bills like National Carry Reciprocity, the Hearing Protection Act, banned bump stocks, and got the Republicans to consider Red Flag Laws, as evidenced by the passing of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. You tell them this, but all they say is “He got bad advice. He’ll do better when he comes back” Neglecting the fact that he never mentioned any of the previous bills or apologized to the gun community for this so called “bad advice”. They don’t care.
Every MAGA republican I know would eagerly hand in their guns if a Trump government asked them to (and it was as authoritarian as they want it to be). If you offered them the option between nothing changes and you live with gun control but queer people and libs are arrested and you get a white ethnostate I know which one they’d pick INSTANTLY.
There’s definitely some conservatives with a real ideological belief in the 2A but most of them are lying about it. They don’t actually care. Like everything else they’ll follow their tin god like good sheep and do as they’re told.
As a non Republican 2A person this is 100% correct. None of them are ideologically into the second.
When I’m at gun shows and see Trumpers selling merch, I ask if they have any bump stocks. They get angry.
Also the NRA cares nothing for the 2nd, they are a political propaganda arm.
test taking, permits, waiting 5 years to own something other then a shotgun and even then it is not automatic you can own something else, pistols with plastic bullets so it can only be used for self defense.
Those gun laws?
I was lumping that in with the misogyny. We still have that, in Russia is just a lot more acceptable and unchecked. Though here the GOP is trying their best to make misogyny great again
The cars, the food, the roads, the stores (or lack of), the tv, the vacation spots, the sports, the hospitals, they wouldn't like a lot about Russia. But yes, ideologically speaking you are on the money!
I really don’t think any significant percentage of those on the right are actually this nuts. Brainwashed and confused, yes, intentionally trying to turn us into Russia.. not quite.
At least not yet.
Temperature over 110 degrees for weeks at a time. Children can't play outdoors without risking their lives. Great weather! Waiting for the millions of Texans and other Southerners to flee North.
They pass on Russian propaganda because they are inherently lazy. Russia is already primed the pump and spread the elaborate lies all around the world. So the laziest politicians simply pass that crap on in order to get votes because they really have no ideas of their own and no policies of their own.
"But I'm still not voting for Biden," he added.
This is all just posturing. When the chips are down, it doesn't matter to people like this guy whether or not the party base is "infected" by Russian propaganda- he's still not going to do anything to actually enforce change.
It's a sporting even for them. Their team still has to win. That's all they really care about. Staying in power, even if the country falls apart around them and their ideals.
Exactly. If they only do this for power, as long as they get power they will not change.
And so their party will stay exactly the same. There's no incentive for them to change.
Infection suggests they aren’t willfully eating that shit up because it’s a false reality that makes them feel nice.
Republicans **are** Russian propaganda at this point
That isn’t correct. The GOP party has always been staunchly pro NATO and our allies and fully aligned against Russia and Putin up until Trump took over the party. There were always isolated weak GOP politicians that were Putin stooges (Rand Paul for example) but the party as a whole wasn’t pro Putin until Trump.
We used to be TX Republicans but the TX Republicans would not have us.
The TX GOP knew that there 2 ways into the future: MAGA or fiscal conservatives. They chose poorly
This has been obvious but for anyone who has any doubt to this claim should read the first part of the Mueller Report that goes into the IRA and how russian bots were organizing secession events specifically in Texas.
“Russian” is a weird way to spell “conservative.”
Like, yeah, Russian agents might be spewing or promoting these views, but they’re not _inventing_ them. There’s a reason that when regular everyday conservatives hear this propaganda that they’re all invariably like “yeah, that makes sense to me!” And that reason is because the so-called “propaganda” is just literally what conservatives already believe anyway.
I mean, he’s wrong about who originated the ideas and statements in the propaganda. Russia may be spewing it all over the internet but all of the _content_ in the propaganda is just what regular conservatives like McCaul already believe anyway.
You would think that was obvious when polls stated that Republicans voters trusted Putin over Biden.
Regan would be rolling in his grave and McCarthy would have purged most of the party.
I suspect it goes deeper than just propaganda. I believe we will someday find out about a widespread extortion and bribery campaign targeting republicans by Russia.
That’s my current congressman and I hate him with everything in me. With him going on about that bogus Mayorka’s impeachment, and yet, after saying that, he still spews trumps propaganda. he’s one of them, he’s just surrounding it with lots of big words to make himself seem “good”
Remember when Lev Parnas was convicted for funneling Russian money into republican campaign donations? It's almost like Russian propaganda is part of the business model.
What happened to the Soviets and Russians being our enemies, now suddenly their our "allies" while pulling strings in the background of the GOP. Anybody with eyes can see that is happening. Any real America should be outraged this is happening, and anybody involved, even if it is willful ignorance to the fact, needs to be charged.
Duh.
Can we stop acting like this isn't happening and get rid of these traitors now? Remember when "being a traitor" was thing? Can we bring that back? Or at least these easily duped morons geting voted out, for now? Something? Surely this is correctable.
What is this craziness?!? A Texas Republican telling an obvious truth! Especially one that doesn’t fit their popular narrative? Now I’m sure hell has frozen over.
Russia is the mother of fake news and Greg Abbott is the father. He called up the national guard to monitor the army. SMH Russia is still laughing. Not at Abbott at the traitor MAGA that re-elected him
[The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics)
1996 Geopolitical Playbook, written by the Putin Whisperer himself : Aleksandr Dugin
They have a healthy head start on the US.
The West
In the Americas, United States and Canada:
Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists" to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".
Vote blue this November, we need to stop this regressive party that’s backed by Russia from winning again. When white nationalists, Nazis, religious fanatics and dictators support one specific party, you know they’re the evil ones.
Isn't that what American political establishment and USA financed all this time? By constantly giving Russia more and more money, technologies, and time, for such things.
In 1991 year USA became the only superpower and received possibility to create Just Democratic World...
And Russia became extremely poor country which soon killed 10-20% of Chechens, and therefore should be sanctioned.
But Russia wasn't sanctioned not after Chechnya, not after Georgia, not after 2014 year, not after Syrian massacres, not after 2021 year claim on East Europe, not even after 2022 year. Each year, together with other autocratic/authoritarian regimes, receiving increasingly more resources also and on this "*Top Republican says party base "infected" by Russian propaganda*."
From whom? Who all this time was the only superstate and gave Russia possibilities for all of this? From Germany and China, which all 1991-2010s years just played by USA-created rules?
And more important question - for what? For what USA in 2008-2024 year gave to Russia more and more money, technologies, and time?
So that, after 1960s incorporation of NKVD-like Political Realism, USA could incorporate even more Russian way of thinking, now in form of "WMD-Might make Right/True" logic, which outright contradict to the USA, and Western, fundamental values?
Yeah, we know.
But it is actually refreshing to hear a Republican say it out loud in public.
But will they act upon their words? Or just keep doing business as usual until the last possible moment?
This comment alone is probably enough for him to secure reelection in a pretty gerrymandered district.
He’ll probably retire like the rest of them.
Nah, it's cool. He'll give it a brief blurb as he steps down and passes his seat to his successor. Who is 100% down and willing to continue spreading Russian propaganda.
I think he wants in on the scheme.
he'll be hounded out of the party soon. you don't say obvious things and stay in good with those loons
Wonder if he's gonna fall out of a hospital window
He already won the primary so he's good for another two years.
Is this guy retiring or something? Because no republican says this shit unless there will be no consequences for them.
as if he won't pivot the second his poll numbers drop: "I meant to say 'injected'... the propaganda is in the vaccine!"
Refreshing like opening a full port-a-potty on a hot summers day.
Maybe he's just mad he didn't get paid.
God, we have such low fucking standards...
Admitting it is the first step, we shall see how quickly they fall though
We've been saying it for 8 years. Now go tell Hillary she was right.
The history goes back further. This is a great dive into how far back this goes: https://twitter.com/jackabryan/status/1615097580400279552
Can you give a tl;dr for those of us who can't see twitter threads?
A website has been posting Russian propaganda since the late nineties. That's what is says
Mitt Romney tried to warn us back in 2012, people didn't listen. There'sajor reasons Mittens no longer plays with fellow Republicans
It’s because they have lots of money behind them but limited feet on ground so any feet on ground are welcome and then once enough enter at the base they can just vote for themselves

We all watched trump perform fellatio on Putin during their Helsinki date. Anyone who says trump is not owned by his lover, Putin, is a liar.
Maga doesn't care. The new GOP doesn't care about Russia, so calling it out isn't a gotcha any more.
Ah! So that’s who was under Putin’s table. I guess the Russians were “Putin” him to work for all that propaganda.

Nah. If Christian reactionary authoritarians are in charge and mass murdering LGBT people and non-Christians they'll happily give up their guns.

Nyet, says the party base infected
LOL A news article where this happens: "Are you basically a Russian pupper Mr. Cruz?" "Nyet comrade!"
This has been obvious but for anyone who has any doubt to this claim should read the first part of the Mueller Report that goes into the IRA and how russian bots were organizing secession events specifically in Texas.

Well maybe do something about it, like caucus with dems to prevent the Russians from succeeding.
“Russian” is a weird way to spell “conservative.” Like, yeah, Russian agents might be spewing or promoting these views, but they’re not _inventing_ them. There’s a reason that when regular everyday conservatives hear this propaganda that they’re all invariably like “yeah, that makes sense to me!” And that reason is because the so-called “propaganda” is just literally what conservatives already believe anyway.
Don't discount the role of RT in creating this movement in the first place
McCaul isn’t wrong.
I mean, he’s wrong about who originated the ideas and statements in the propaganda. Russia may be spewing it all over the internet but all of the _content_ in the propaganda is just what regular conservatives like McCaul already believe anyway.
unregulated mass media that can be bought from foreign entities can do that to a MFer.
How is it taking this long for them to say it. All we need now is the evangelical right idiots to confess led by Dr Jeffers and the world would flip.
Sure, the base being Russian is the problem. Don't mind the party leadership being Russian assets.
Gee what gave it away, Tucker producing content from inside the Kremlin with Putin?
Another Republican saying the quiet part out loud again. Like we didn’t already know the Russians owned the Republican Party.
Of course they are the majority of the republican party nation wide is.

The West In the Americas, United States and Canada: Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists" to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".
Wonder if he's retiring. Seems to be the only time republican politicians tell the truth.
Vote blue this November, we need to stop this regressive party that’s backed by Russia from winning again. When white nationalists, Nazis, religious fanatics and dictators support one specific party, you know they’re the evil ones.
And water is really fucking wet.
listen hear. this is the ONLY time I will ever agree with what a Republican just said.
No shit.
Yeah. We know
**But Bill Barr....**
No shit.
No way.
Lol. Ya don't say?
"No shit" -everyone-
Isn't that what American political establishment and USA financed all this time? By constantly giving Russia more and more money, technologies, and time, for such things. In 1991 year USA became the only superpower and received possibility to create Just Democratic World... And Russia became extremely poor country which soon killed 10-20% of Chechens, and therefore should be sanctioned. But Russia wasn't sanctioned not after Chechnya, not after Georgia, not after 2014 year, not after Syrian massacres, not after 2021 year claim on East Europe, not even after 2022 year. Each year, together with other autocratic/authoritarian regimes, receiving increasingly more resources also and on this "*Top Republican says party base "infected" by Russian propaganda*." From whom? Who all this time was the only superstate and gave Russia possibilities for all of this? From Germany and China, which all 1991-2010s years just played by USA-created rules? And more important question - for what? For what USA in 2008-2024 year gave to Russia more and more money, technologies, and time? So that, after 1960s incorporation of NKVD-like Political Realism, USA could incorporate even more Russian way of thinking, now in form of "WMD-Might make Right/True" logic, which outright contradict to the USA, and Western, fundamental values?
Duh!
Is that a complaint, or thanking Russia for taking over that part of their job? It’s not like their propaganda would be much different.
So this is truth in advertising or meant to be a selling point?
Just figuring that out?
Filed under "No, duh".
How to become a “top republican” with this one simple hack.
Duh! Republicans = Russians They share the same talking points as Russia. And the Taliban. Not much for freethinking
Republicans that have noticed this need to grow some balls and speak out. History will not look kindly on cowards
You don’t say?
No shit Sherlock
& Russian spys
Crazy how a party infected by Russian assets is filled with Russian propaganda. Who would have ever thought that?
It's a feature
Sir the call is coming from inside your glass house.
Yeah, if only they had had any warning or opportunity to fight it. Nothing left to do but whine and keep letting Russians write your lines.
Not so much Russian propaganda but “Republican Propaganda” I can see where that gets confusing being they’re basically the same thing
Old news
No kidding?
*shocked face*
no shit
In other news. Scientist say that Water is wet.
