The GOP isn’t selling our country for a tax cut. They are selling our country because the Rusdians have komoromat on them that would likely send them to jail. There’s no reason to go this far other than saving your own hide. Funny you should mention that. Have you read the charging documents on Maria Butina? https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4604739-Maria-Butina-charging-affidavit.html In 2015 she sent email home to her handler in Russia stating more or less that the NRA controls the GOP and the GOP would be the controlling party after the 2016 election. Clinton had not even announced her candidacy yet. Trump has been threatening to run since 1990 so I'm not sure if he'd announced yet. So even Russia believes the NRA controls the GOP and they filtered illegal money to Trump's campaign. These charges were not brought through Mueller either. It was another National Security arm of the DOJ. I think the dominoes are beginning to fall. Our democracy will survive and Trump will either end up dead of natural causes from the stress or in jail where he truly belongs. He already looks like a beaten man in the snap shot published above. |
One of my favorite tweets today: “Wait, so you're saying the National Rifle Association might have illegally cut a deal with an oppressive foreign government? That seems totally out of character for an organization run by [checks notes] Oliver North” - David Klion |
The first time Putin shook hands with Trump after the election, Putin put a tiny 2"x2" photo of Trump in a compromising position, nude, in Trump's hand. |
This stuff with Butina and the NRA and the GOP is all nuts. What has gone wrong with the Grand Old Party? |
Ha ha. |
I can’t believe this wasn’t a Simpsons episode. Unreal |
Rand Paul has a point. |
Rand Paul is kind of missing the point. It's not that Russia is wrong to interfere with our elections -- it's that our president is wrong to dismiss this. Putin's gonna do what Putin's gonna do. What we are most concerned about is our own president. |
*Waves of uncintroolable nausea* |
Rand has made a career of missing the point. |
Ask Borat. |
Putin has made Trump his #PrisonWife. |
If so, good riddance. Saw him on PBS tonight and here's a summary of his talking points: -John McCain is a loose cannon, going off the deep end, etc. -Liberals are suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (yes, he used those words) -We meddle in elections, Russia meddles, everyone meddles, we just think we're better because we are trying to spread democracy -We can't have a good relationship with Russia if communication lines aren't open |
I keep reading references that basically Russia interfered in our election because the US interferes in elections. Two wrongs do not make a right. It doesn’t make Russia’s actions ok. |
And it also misses the point, which is that Americans conspired with Russia to increase their firepower, so to speak. |
