And That Makes Putin Very Happy°

It's hard to watch as Republicans

In Congress parrot Putin's words.

In spouting Putin's talking points,

What they're doing is polishing turds.

°И это делает Путина очень счастливым.

Brandishing conspiracy theories

And fantasies that have been debunked,

They are showing the world how their

Integrity is now defunct.

И это делает Путина очень счастливым.

Bending the truth with the Putin/Russian

Intelligence narrative flies in the face

Of all that we have done for years

To keep democracy in place.

И это делает Путина очень счастливым.

Putin loves to see Americans

Attack one another by going for the throat.

After stirring up discord here,

He can then sit back and gloat.

И это делает Путина очень счастливым.

Putin's friends in the White House, too,

Bolster the leader's insidious plot

And say that Putin is innocent

While the country Ukraine is not.

И это делает Путина очень счастливым.

What has happened to America--

The land of the free, the home of the brave?

George Washington must be

Turning over in his grave.

И это делает Путина очень счастливым.
