So heres my question for todays Republicans. In fact, before I proffer it, lets clear the deck of EVERYTHING else. Forget for the moment about the Mueller investigation. We surrender, Mueller came up short. No collusion, no obstruction, yada yada. Set aside his manic tweeting, the revolving door at the White House, the corruption, the clear evidence that hes a few marshmallows short of a smore. Forget even about the Ukraine scandal and the near-certainty that hes going to be impeached over it.
.
Forget about ALL OF THAT! 👆🏼
.
And riddle me this:
.
Why are you all mum about Trumps subservience to Vladimir Putin? And dont you DARE try tell me he isnt. Theres not a single one amongst you whos that fucking stupid. Hes been blowing this thug kisses and giving him reach-arounds since the day he oozed into office. Hes met with him not in just conditions of privacy, but in absolute SECRECY. He even confiscated the hand-written notes of an aide who documented one such meeting. He passed classified intelligence directly into the hands of two Russian agents in the Oval Office, yet nary a peep from any of you. In fact, had it not been for the Russian media, the American people would have been none the wiser, since Trump booted our own media out of the room minutes before.
.
Hes divided us from our allies seven ways from Sunday, inched us closer to totalitarianism, parroted the fascist policies of none other than Nazi Germany!
.
But no condemnation from any of you. Not so much as a discouraging word.
.
You Republicans, the very people who like to boast that youre the party of national security, the political descendants of the mantle of Eisenhower, Goldwater and Reagan, who wrap yourselves in Olde Glory and sing the Star Spangled Banner at your NRA meetings and Trumps hootenannies... you dont seem to have ANY problem with him carrying out the agenda of Stalins ideological successor.
.
Look at that face in this picture. Take a long, hard look at it. I challenge you to sift through the millions of pictures online of Donald Trump and come up with one remotely similar. Thats not the face of a Commander in Chief. Thats the face of a man who knows how to greet his superior. Or at minimum, the face of a man who wants to impress.
.
But enough about him. Whats YOUR problem?

(16,093 posts)The truth is that they hate liberals more then they love this country, not more then they hate Russia!
If you stop and think about it, Russia is the shining beacon for racists, bigots, misogynists, false prophets and fake patriots...all the things that Trumpers love!!!
