1. Yup!

[Brainfodder]

2. Dots fantastic!

Set phasers to?

[lagomorph777]

23. Vaporize.

[uponit7771]

3. K&R, people ... this 100% needs to be addressed ... the GZP is too close to Russia.. PERIOD

[KS Toronado]

22. Yes, it needs to be addressed on a national level

going into the midterms. We need to tie Rs to Putler/Russia as being the same thing.
You going to vote American or Russian? Should be a rallying cry. Our way of life depends on it.

[lastlib]

25. Just one problem......

We have idiots wearing T-shirts that say "I'd rather be Russian than Democrat".......
(personally, I'd vote to give them plane fare to Moscow.....)

[KS Toronado]

26. Those idiots are few & far between

And just the ones who need to be asked "You going to vote American or Russian?"
Maybe we could make some T-shirts....I'd rather vote Democrat than Russian

[KPN]

4. Wow! Nothing to see there!

[Crowman2009]

31. Now the GQP is breaking out the scapegoats to distract its base.

LOOK! THE GAYZ, TRANS AND DAH BLACKS WANT TO INDOCTRINATE OUR CHILDRENZ! DO THEY THINK WURH A BUNCH OF MORANS?

[fightforfreedom]

5. Holy shit! Has this been reported by the news organizations?

[niyad]

6. You are joking, yes?

[fightforfreedom]

7. This is the first time I heard about it and I pay attention to the news.

[JHB]

13. I think the "you're joking" was about the expectation that it would have been reported

Mainstream outlets aren't in the habit of holding Republicans responsible for anything.

[IronLionZion]

10. If you're serious, the list is widely reported on news

Here's the GOP's favorite news source reporting it: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/russia-sanctions-biden-officials

[leftieNanner]

27. Thanks for providing this

I saw it yesterday, but hadn't connected the dots about zero Republicans on the list. The difference in the individuals sanctioned in Canada (from all political stripes) is stunning.

[Marcuse]

39. The Fox comments are hilarious. No Republicans were sanctioned because none have ties to Russia.

[MiHale]

8. KnR

[Ford_Prefect]

9. That's right. The GOP pose no threat whatever to Russian aggression nor Russian corruption of

the USA or Britain. The Republican Party (US), like the Tory Party (UK), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Putin Global Enterprises (RU).

[samplegirl]

11. America needs to wake up

Or we will be the next Ukraine.

[multigraincracker]

12. The GOP is brought to you by the KGB.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. GOP in bed with Russia. So obvious now. NRA as well. Koch. How deep does it go?

[Botany]

17. "NRA Was 'Foreign Asset' To Russia Ahead of 2016, New Senate Report Reveals"

https://www.npr.org/2019/09/27/764879242/nra-was-foreign-asset-to-russia-ahead-of-2016-new-senate-report-reveals

How much Russian money was washed through the NRA in 2016 to fund Trump and Republican Senators
and Congresspersons in 2016? (OH's Rob Portman has gotten millions since then.) They all know where
that money is coming from.

[tanyev]

15. The GZP.

[Irish_Dem]

16. The GOP sold out the US to Putin.

Because they have the same autocratic goals. Permanent total power with access to all US wealth.

And they convinced a big chunk of the US population to go along with it in return for white christian minority rule.

[wnylib]

19. International billionaires want their own

autocracies where they live, unimpeded by democratic governments. The result would be a return to a system like the feudalism of the past, with billionaires equivalent to royalty, millionaires as nobility, and the rest of society "owing" obedience to them.

We are seeing a revolution from the top down, reversing centuries of the development of democracies.

[Irish_Dem]

20. Exactly. Yes that is the goal, global autocratic feudalism.

The wealthy class lives very well, the rest of the world in poverty or just getting by.

Here in the US more and more draconian restrictions on daily life.

The world's oligarchs have been taking control for decades and we can now see their end game.

[Justice matters.]

33. Yep. Some live on lifeboats worth over half-billion dollars.

Jobs creators... they claim.

[deminks]

18. The GZP would destroy democracy worldwide if possible

Certainly in this country if they can. Look at Texas and Florida. Places I would flee in a nanosecond if I lived there.

[spanone]

21. Why bar the ones who support you?

[Wounded Bear]

24. Funny how that works out...

[moondust]

28. I briefly looked for the GQP list yesterday.

Quickly realized it was a fool's errand.

[Ohio Joe]

29. K & R - nt

[mrsadm]

30. YIKES I did not know that!

[Justice matters.]

32. Hey! Someone should tell that to mittens...

By @tagging him.

[dalton99a]

34. Republicans love Russia.

[Mr. Sparkle]

35. I think its fair to say that Russia has the GQP in their pocket.

You can see it all over their fake media machine from tucker carlson on down

[calimary]

36. Takei tweets for me!

[samsingh]

37. the gop is putin's party

[calimary]

38. And we need to keep repeating this til we're blue in the face!

Hopefully that'll be the color of a few more flipped seats in the House and Senate and governorships.

[czarjak]

40. Theological nitwits are just easy.
