 The Putin connection seems obvious.

Do not forget the party of Christian Family Values, using hate to Make America Great Again. 
 Why does Louis DeJoy still have a fucking job at the Postal Service. WTF. 
 @3967703f  Well DeJoy is working to privatize the USPS seems like? You know GOP wants to privatize everything so a few people can profit, why Social Security and Medicare and even VA are targets. One can suspect Republicans are doing this berceuse they are paid to. 
 American legislators who want to end funding for Ukraine are Putin's moles. 
 @3967703f  Seems obvious Putin is pulling strings, and Republicans are the puppets.

"Race and intelligence" is on Wikipedia?  Is there something on  "Republicans and Sadism"? 
 Thanks Kim Perales: 12 WAYS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BECAME THIS RADICALIZED:

1964: Southern Strategy
1972: Watergate
1980: More skulduggery
1990s: Gingrich down & dirty
1996: Fox News founded
2000: Brooks Bros Riot
2004: Swiftboating
2008: Birtherism
2010: Kooks as candidates
2016: Stacking the SC
2016-20: Surrendering to #TFG 
2020-21: #J6

#J6 was an insurrection, an act of treachery unprecedented in US history. If Republican fascism isn’t stopped, it can happen again.

 @c043ccf2 Well, now I checked out his work. Like his use of color and the Mona Lisa is my favorite. 
 People who believe anything, can obviously make others suffer berceuse of it.  Conservatives case in point.

 @f884fa2b Constatives not doing their job well or at all, is not a surprise, suspect this is their agenda. . 
 I'd just like to take this moment to say minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. 
 @3967703f

Back in 1965 I was getting paid $4.00 and hour,  so when I got back from Vietnam, four years servitude later they held my job for me,  I got a raise to $4.75 an hour.  Then my boss got me a job with a distributer for $5.00 and hour.  So that is a 50 percent rase today, oh goodie.   

Congress salary was  $30,000 dollars in 1965. Today Congress gets a 174,000 salary not counting bribes and graft.  

So going by my 1965 salary of $5.00 and minimum wage today of $7.25 to be fair (we know this is not how it works) Congress should be paid 50 percent more than $30,000 which would be $45,000.

 @3967703f Citizens United says no way do  corrupt oligarch minions in government need or have to go. Wow an honest government representing the real people seems a hopeful fantasy.
