For a democrat it's still an issue, remember Katie Hill and the non-story of Al Franken? Republicans act with impunity if they're in a red district; conservatives literally don't give a shit as long as it's one of their own, very Freemason of them.

Can anyone pinpoint the moment when patriots stopped caring about Russia and became fine with the US president licking his boots publicly? Would it have been equally fine for any other president to have a private meeting with Putin with no advisers present? Patrick Swayze pissed in a radiator and drank deer blood to protect the US from Russia, and now all these proud Americans are in love with an alpha who says "US intelligence says that Russia is fucking with us, but Putin pinky swears he isn't, so case closed!"
