House Democrats pass yet another laughable measure: Approves the Vladimir Putin Transparency Act
American Thinker ^ | 03/14/2019 | Thomas Lifson

It’s pretty clear that the Democratic Caucus that runs the House of Representatives has a low opinion of the intelligence of the American public, but a measure passed Tuesday takes the cake when it comes to wasting the taxpayers’ time, attention span, and money. At least the media has done them the favor of largely ignoring it.

Intoxicated with the idea of investigating President Trump right out of office, until yesterday they were able to cling to some pretense of plausibility, even if making ridiculous (and financially ruinous) demands on anyone associated President Trump, including his children. Those constraints no longer apply. On a voice vote, making it impossible to hold any solon responsible for the idiocy,

…lawmakers approved the Vladimir Putin Transparency Act, a bipartisan [which Republican or Republicans?] bill that accuses Putin of undermining democratic reforms in Russia.

"It is the sense of Congress that the United States should do more to expose the corruption of Vladimir Putin, whose ill-gotten wealth is perhaps the most powerful global symbol of his dishonesty and his persistent efforts to undermine the rule of law and democracy in the Russian Federation," the bill said.

Are they going to subpoena Putin’s tax returns?

Or, will they demand Vlad appear before a committee for grilling on his wealth?

Do they expect him to fall into a perjury trap?

This is all about ensuring that, should the Dems fail in their effort to oust Trump, an asterisk will appear in the history books next to his name. And so that future generations will never forget that Trump is a Russian asset.

It's helpful to keep in mind....and respond accordingly...

Democraps are no longer a genuine political party that helpfully solves societal problems.

Democraps are a vicious invading army, hungering for all-out power, waging war on us, a peaceful people, in order to attain supremacy.

Of the two main candidates for the presidency in 2016 which one actually got money from Russia through he husband’s speaking fees and their phoney charity? And a bonus question: which one in her official capacity as Secretary of State then approved the sale of a large part of our uranium resources to Russia?

This isn’t about getting Putin. It’s about getting any American that spoke to, wrote to or saw on TV Putin or any of his associates, right down to dog catcher.

Don’t fool yourself into thinking this is just some vacuous stab at Pres. Trump.

I thought we didn’t interfere in the business of other countries.
