Question this morning is why, McTurtle?

Why did he refuse to cooperate with President Obama to warn the American public that Russia was messing with our vote? Hmm?

Money. How much money did McTurtle take from the Russians?

Power. Wife was up for a Cabinet position.
Being the majority leader when Repugnants own it all.
Approving the reich wing replacement for Fat Tony after he had spent months blocking Obama's pick.
Approving the tax cuts for their sugar daddies so there is a never ending money tunnel for their 'elections'
Finding different ways to be mean to the people every day is just fun for him and creates chaos for Pootey

When is McTurtle's time in the barrel coming? Hmm?

Did he ever consider that not committing treason was more important than all this winning? Nawwww.

Never forget he blocked paying the military during his shutdown. Did Pootey tell him to do that?

4. Add to that the fact that they felt so sure a republican would win

and that was the reason they refused to vote for the supreme court candidate Obama had chosen.

They kept saying the same thing "the next administration should decide the next supreme court judge", and this when Hillary was up on every poll, that the World thought Hillary would win...

I feel that McConnell, Ryan, Pence and many others "benefited" from the "generosity" of the Russians, and I hope Muller has the goods on all of them, because not one of them is worthy of the political posts they enjoy today.

... or still have strong connections to Russia even prior to the election. It is almost like Putin ...
picked these people to be in a White House that he wanted to control.


* and don't forget the NRA, RNC, wikileaks, Nunues, Ryan, McConnell and Dana Rohrabacher's
Russia connections. Those unceasing and unneeded hearings into HRC used data that the
Russians stole by computer hacking.

11. Puti has moral responsibility to improve his own country

After all he is the leader of Russia and he's running for re-election this year. They're having major problems in Russia and yet look at the $ millions he's spent on fucking up other countries, instead of improving his own.

The devil changes you.

The Republican Party started dancing when they deployed The Southern Strategy. #fakepresident is a symptom. Their evil runs deep.
