Russian President Vladimir Putin has seemingly invited conservatives chafing under “neoliberal ideals” in their home countries to move to Russia, where he claimed “traditional values reign supreme,” and Alex Jones suggested he might take him up on the offer.

The Russian president signed a decree offering assistance to foreigners seeking temporary residence in his country and expanding the quota approved by the nation’s government and setting aside a requirement for knowing the Russian language, history and basic laws, and Jones urged his followers to consider sanctuary there.

      The only problem is that they are most likely the assholes that have no problems ripping everyone else off, and doing so might mean taking the wealth they’ve misappropriated with things like their hate content away from us and any legal accountability. Meaning that a priority should be to make sure their accounts are frozen when they attempt to go over there.

    “This new decree blows the lid off the establishment’s agenda, letting freedom-loving folks bypass the usual bureaucratic nonsense like language tests or history exams,” Jones

    Alex Jones, pro-immigration and a strong advocate of removing any process to naturalize citizens in a new country.

    😄🤣

    Makes sense. After all you won’t need to know any of that stuff out on the front lines in Ukraine.

      Or throw Alex Jones into a deep, dark hole for skipping out on paying the sandy hook families what he owes them.

        I say we send him to Russia, revoke his citizenship, use tax dollars to pay the victims, and call it breaking even.

      I, for one, would feel incredibly owned. More owned than any liberal has felt before.

    Meanwhile, in hell, Satan has cured Ronald Reagan of his dementia so he can watch his party gargle Putins balls.

      Growing up (I was a kid during Reagan’s Presidency), I heard more than one conservative pundit saying “better dead than Red!” I guess Russia is technically not the USSR; but, it strikes me as funny to see conservative pundits now seemingly open to becoming Russian.

        Yeah, I grew up in the same era. A lot of Kill a Commie for Mommy shit left over from the '60s too. Remember Red Dawn?

        Reagans non-policy on aids is a major reason I’m where I am politically now. I watched a few neighbors and family friends suffer and die in silence because of him. The worship that guy got from the gop was always a mystery to me but even just a few years ago I’ve been told he was the Greatest Ever President. But these same people are all over putins dick. It makes no sense.

          Yeah I was raised anti Reagan because he took my grandma’s widow money while she was raising two kids on a hairdresser’s pay. Then I grew up a bit and saw the devastation aids did to my community as a result of his refusal to respond as well as his attacks on our country’s inner cities. Then I grew up further and saw how he hollowed out my country’s economy for short term profits and even the things people praised him for were bad.
