1984Echoes Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Republicans are compromised. Not 100%. But they are rampant with Putin Boot-Lickers. Based on Trump's 20-years boot-licking of Putin in search of some Trump Towers Moscow. Or a white supremacist love of Russia's all-white Christian fascism. How absolutely pathetic.

Quote In 2017, as part of an Eagle Scout project, a plaque was placed outside of Norfolk Superior Court commemorating the trial.[227] I have all sorts of thoughts about Eagle Scout projects having supervised a couple. Some of them are super easy fig leafs in which the doting helicopter parents do all the work. Others are hyper ambitious and involve actual struggle (in the Virgina heat!) and represent real program management skills. A plaque celebrating a couple of left wing anarchists' trial might have had an interesting approval process in normally very square Boy Scout circles. I get the various historical stances on the correctness of their conviction....but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote He has been criticized for his views on economics, the origin of COVID-19, his advocacy for the Chinese government, as well as his support for the Russian government's narratives on the Russo-Ukrainian War. Sachs has appeared on Russia state-run channels, including Vladimir Solovyov's evening show.[13][14] Lets set aside that Jeffrey Sachs is routinely featured on the most virulent show in Russia.
