The State Duma has passed a motion suggesting that the US and EU extend the freshly introduced sanctions to all Russian MPs rather than a limited group of officials, defying western pressure just hours before Russia and Crimea signed a federation treaty.
The motion was supported by a unanimous vote on Tuesday morning. It was prepared the day before by all four parliamentary parties after representatives of the United States and the European Union said they were slapping sanctions, such as visa bans and asset freezes, on a number of Russian officials who are seen as “key ideologists and architects” of the policy towards Ukraine.
The State Duma motion reads that the US President’s decree was limiting the rights of Russian citizens and that similar discriminatory measures were approved by foreign ministers of the EU nations.
In a speech MP Mikhail Markelov (Fair Russia) called the move by the US State Department, President Obama and the European Union “an absurd attempt”, and suggested that the US punished all lower house members. “As long as they stress that MP Lyudmila Mizulina is on the blacklist, they should also impose sanctions on all 436 MPs who voted for the law that protects our children from gay propaganda,” Markelov noted.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Finally the obscenely arrogant cowardly adolescent jacka$$ has been exposed to the world. What stupid idiots elected this crap in the first place and then in an idiotic, greedy for a handout, stupor RE-elected this pile of crap???? What a sad state of affairs that America has such a horribly sick electorate to let this FRAUD fool millions of voters that have no business voting and stick the rest of us with their crap down our throats.

Ha Ha ha! Good point. Let’s see how he responds to the Rules for Radicals when they are finally turned on him, not by a Patriotic American, like it should have been, but instead, by a ruthless thug that speaks the language of Rules for Radicals.
Hahahahahahaha!
“I don’t recall ever seeing anything even approaching this level of jeering contempt toward an American president. He’s the laughingstock of the world.”
Remember how much the media played up ONE GUY throwing a shoe at Bush??
Yet you won’t be seeing ANYTHING about this on The Daily Show, or the NBC Evening News.
I thank Carter for a lot. I was young and not much interested in politics when he was president. I remember his remarks that America has seen its best years, etc., and how depressing his years were. When Reagan took over and I saw his leadership and optimism I became interested in politics, and the 1st time I voted was his 2nd election.
Carter was the perfect foil for Reagan. Perfect.
