Or Philippine Petain: “I spoke to Hitler. He says he didn’t invade us.”
It’s not that Republicans are traitors, they have just decided treason is not a deal breaker.
Overt facilitation of treason is still treason. Unless you get away with it.
And y’all laughed at me in my pit thread when I said Republicans were destroying America.
Trump is so thin skinned, and this criticism so strong, that he should be in full on Twitter tantrum mode now. Has there been a single tweet yet lashing out at the deep state for undermining him? If not, it sounds like his people have hidden his phone. They may realize how dangerous his place is and that it will take a concerted effort to fix. They can’t keep his phone forever, sooner or later Trump will derail their plans.
They’re just waiting for Fox to tell them what to say.
Only the ones who aren’t running for re-election and don’t have to worry about holding the Deplorable vote.
I just went to the Fox News site and the only 2 people that seemed to be okay with Trump were Hannity (no surprise) and Rand Paul (big surprise).
Can we start calling him Ofvlad? Picture him in a red dress and white bonnet.
Nah, Rand Paul is no big surprise, really. He tends to take the view that America should have no world enemies and that we should just bring our entire military home and let other people patrol the seas, and if Russia or China invade half a continent, well, it’s not necessarily our job to stop them.
One of the protest signs in Britain referred to him as “Ofputin”.
From the demonstrations in England:
I count him among the hardcore deplorables.
But before he did those things, he said those things. Maybe we should have complained louder when he was just SAYING idiotic things about trade wars and tax cuts?
Oh, he knows. And the outrage from the lamestream media is music to his teenytiny ears.
Incidentally, am I the only one who gets the impression that CFSG has been hitting the fake ‘n’ bake a little too much? Not only is the color getting worse (didn’t think that would be possible), but the pale area around his eyes where the UV goggles sit is getting more pronounced. Makes him look even more like a deer caught in the headlights.

Exactly wrong. We should have been nicer. Not “idiotic things”, just say that these are novel and original ideas that require study. If our economy burns up, falls over and sinks in the swamp, that may be evidence we can consider as we move forward.

What do I say to Senators/Representatives that are Pro Trump? It is my Senators/Representatives that are enabling this orange filth.
I would love to send a letter (not email or phone call) to my republican “leadership”, but the task of word-smithing such a letter is daunting.
I started a thread about this. Thanks for the idea!

America will build a new economy. And that one will stay up, and that’s what you’re going to get. The strongest economy in all of England.

Hmmm, something’s not quite right there.
…
Oh well.

You’re not the only one, it hit me too.
I don’t have a link to the full statement, but NPR’s Moscow correspondent Lucian Kim tweeted:
Breaking: Russian MoD says in statement that it’s ready to implement agreement on international security Putin and Trump reached in Helsinki.
and
Russian MoD says it’s “ready to activate contacts with US colleagues via general staffs and other existing communication channels to discuss extending Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, cooperation in Syria, other current issues of ensuring military security.”
Uh, what agreement?!
That’s what today’s meeting with Congress is about: to announce the deal he signed giving away our sovereignty.
