How? Most of the GOP is silent, and they control both houses of Congress, and soon, the Supreme Court. The difference between this period and Watergate was that at least during the Watergate, Republicans were willing to call Nixon out on his bad behavior.

Mueller can't do much to Trump without an OK from Congress.

Trump "must appreciate that Russia is not our ally."

"There is no question that Russia interfered in our election and continues attempts to undermine democracy here and around the world," the statement read. "The United States must be focused on holding Russia accountable and putting an end to its vile attacks on democracy."

Feckless ****. Where the **** was he in October 2016?

+1 Sad that the only GOP people condemning Trump (Ryan, Flake, Michael Steel, McCain) are out or on their way out.

I would not call Ryan’s statement condemnation by any stretch.

I am the person who posted it - and I would not call it that either. It did not mention Trump by name and seems designed to appease thinking people while not setting off Trump's moron supporters.

Tepid milquetoast criticism for $100, Alex.

Sure, but -
It’s not like any of this was a secret. If people didn’t know that Trump was a tax fraud and a business cheat and a money launderer and a crook and a spy and a rapist, that’s because they didn’t want to see.

True. But I wonder if they'd feel the same way about Trump being a Putin puppet.

Nah. It’s fake news from the corrupt, lying media. Page 1 from the ultranationalist fascism guide for dummies.

That wasn’t a secret, either.

It’s a stunner for me, too. And I have been paying close attention since 2016.

I do have a serious question though for those of you and truly think you are witnessing the destruction or demise of America: What is it exactly that you fear is being destroyed? Do you really think that all the freedom you enjoy (and always have because nobody has been able to destroy it up to this point) is truly at risk? You'll have a new President in a few years. Even if something gets broke, it will be fixable.

I think the culture wars, stoked by Trump and the Russians, will be the "downfall" of the US. That, coupled with the minority rule we are experiencing, which is worsening given migration trends, could curb our freedoms. Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court will be the wind on that fire since he favors businesses' rights over individuals' rights.

The Republicans' total silence means that they are green-lighting all of this. I've tried to limit political posts on social media, but I will be posting today so I have it in writing for all of eternity that I was on the right side of history.
