His doctors (which he can afford since he's not one of millions of Americans without health care coverage) said that he'd fractured his shoulder, which had already been strained to the limit with all the water-carrying he'd done for Putin for the last few years. They have released the senator under strict orders to get plenty of rest and avoid acts of treason for at least three weeks.

This is rather hateful rhetoric. That may not matter too much if the post is only meant to be reflected on by people who agree with it. But the post's language is clearly meant to eliminate any critical response.
With respect to all the russia quips, a few observations:
--I find it interesting to remember Romney being ridiculed by Obama for suggesting Russia was one of America's biggest threats.
--The Dems appear to be veering into McCarthyite tactics with respect to levying Russian collusion accusations.
--The Dems find russia collusion everywhere they find someone they do not like. First Trump (despite all lack of evidence to this day despite aggressive investigations), then Mitch McConney, and recently Tulsi Gabbard is being labeled a russian sympathizer by Kamala Harris and other.
--Labeling everything wrong the dems find as russian collusion undermines the original charges against Trump
