If they were stupid enough to pull this stunt they are too stupid to understand it's not going to work. They will keep throwing anything and everything they can in the hopes something will work. Think monkeys at the zoo.

They probably have their next embarrassment in the works getting ready to sell it to the people with catch word phrases.

Remember Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch?

GOP is onboard with kremlin 45 I’m trying to figure out if they are all in the fuhrer bunker like battle of Berlin. It will be a joy to see them all hang for treason against the constitution.

a sense of shame. It is how they are able to lie thru their teeth while smiling for the cameras. Trump isn't necessarily the worst GOP liar. He just gets more press.

Trump pushes fairly straightforward Republicans goals. They are very happy.

Hell they even disgusted Trey Gowdy out - my guess is he had to then confront himself in the mirror per the role he played in the Benghazi shenanigans.

They’ve been doing this for a long time, going back to Benghazi hearings, email scandals, Clinton Foundation scandals, continuing through the wire tapping Trump Tower scandals, Nunes running to the White House invented scandal, Susan Rice scandals, unmasking scandals, uranium sales scandals, etc. and now this latest Nunes and Hannity invented FBI nonsense. It just goes on and on with them inventing and throwing more jello against the wall to see what sticks. This is how Republicans roll.

Republicans are never embarrassed.

They have no conscience.

They have no concept of right or wrong.

They have no morals.

They are cons, frauds, and scammers.

They are EVIL FUCKING LIARS !!!!

Facts don't matter. Facts are fake. Facts are made up by liberals.

The mere fact that this memo was promoted, then released, is cause enough for celebration and future action by the GOP. They're not even pretending to govern at this point. They are simply providing red meat to their base so they can act "in their best interests". The base has been steadily brainwashed for years and rejects any information that does not come from their favored sources. It was expected that we would decry the memo. What else would you expect us to do?

The difference is, we refuted the memo because it's factually incoherent and misleading. THEY think we're rejecting the memo because we're liberals and we blindly disassociate ourselves from anything that is produced by a Republican.

It's called projection.

.... As badly as they planned and hoped that is okay. They will continue on with this charade because their target audience - the fox news tr-dump worship crowd will gobble every morsel and every lie they manage to concoct out of thin air.

If they do not succeed in stopping Rosenstein/Mueller before the last indictment is filed in the case and the summation report is completed - they at least have a cheer leading crowd of tr-dump's Fascist loyalists fired up and screaming how unfair, partisan, illegal the investigatory methods were and tr-dump should be fully exonerated and cleared of any criminal wrongdoings. It is Clinton, Comey, Mueller, Andy McCabe, Sally Yates, and Adam Schiff who should all be convicted and put away.

The closer Mueller gets to wrapping things up the louder the screaming from the Fascist news media propaganda machine and poo flinging will be from the deranged tr-dump lovers Nazi monkey cage will become.
