If the president fails, intentionally or not, to respond to the attack on America by Russia claimed

by all of the heads of intelligence and law enforcement has by default resigned from his office?

He took an oath to protect the constitution and the United States. By refusing to act in the face of a direct assault on our nation, an attack as dangerous and damaging as Pearl Harbor, he is for all intents and purposes abdicating his presidency.

This is untenable, his refusal to respond to Russia’s, past and ongoing, attack(s) on this nation. That the republicans are backing him in this non response goes to the cowardly nature of what being a Republican has become.

It’s time adults step up and end this charade of fake presidency. The feckless Republican politicians are incapable of acting for anything other than cash in their bank accounts. The democrats seem incapable of forcing the republicans to act in the interests of our nation instead of some sugar daddy that wants a tax cut he/she doesn’t need or deserve.

The Russians are doing to our nation what Paul Ryan and his Ayn Randian policies would do to the less fortunate in our nation. Let’m Die in the streets if they aren’t capable of anything else.

The Russian bear is going to kill the American Eagle and the Republicans will be riding that bear.
