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.

“The ironic part of this is that they are using ridicule. Using Rules for Radicals against the community organizer.”
Hint for Republicans running this election cycle. Now is the time to lay it all on the Rats.
Yup.
“Just curious, does RT do satire?”
I wondered that myself, but no, this is real...
I’m 100% SURE the NBC Evening News, and The Daily Show will be covering this tonight, right??
That’s funny.

**If only the GOP wussies would use the same playbook. Barry in way over his head..I kinda feel bad for him....NOT!!!
I guaran-damntee you that if GEORGE W BUSH were being mocked openly by leaders of another nation, the fruit loops in the media would be chiming along, saying how "Bush is an embarrassment to the nation."
Not so with the prompter reader.
The other day former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton stated "... y’know we sent Secretary of State John Kerry to London to negotiate with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, that’s like sending a cupcake to negotiate with a steak knife.”
Then the Russian Deputy Prime Minister mocked the recent obozosanction (which excluded Putin) with the comment, "I think some prankster prepared the draft of this Act of the US President."
The DPM later twittered, "Comrade @BarackObama, what should do those who have neither accounts nor property abroad? Or U didn't think about it?"
Now Russia Today is reporting:
"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.
Even our enemies recognize and ridicule the Oval Office donkey-droppings as a Demonrat [mom-jeans-wearing] doofus.
Please, Mr. Obama. Don’t fling us into the brier patch.
Heck, that’s easy for them to say. THEY’re exempt from 0bamacare.
Man, we really do suck.
This is what America must have felt like in the late 70s. Thankfully I was too young to know what was going on or else I would have needed to start hitting the bottle.
I’m not changing my tag line.
Carter wasn’t quite this bad.

They could solve this mockery thingy by putting Biden in charge. Oh wait.... nvm.
Too bad the GOpe is too wussifyied to treat Obama the same instead they are cowed by Obama

Yes, the suck has really set in deep.
Now the whole country gets to feel what it’s like to be a Raiders fan.
