But to do nothing is unforgivable...

Everybody knows we have a dangerous nut in the White House. You know it and I know it. All the Republicans in the House and Senate know it. Yet, they do nothing.

In all likelihood, he colluded with the Russians to help him win the White House. The evidence is stacking up higher and higher every day.

But, they are in survival mode. Their only goal, even above the security of this country, is to survive the next election and to hold onto power. Obviously, they are not worthy of anyone's vote. But, they cling to hope.

We cannot help but recall how easy it was for them to impeach Bill Clinton. And this is much, much worse than a blowjob in the White House.

Yet, they defend the illegitimate tyrant in the White House. Americans are told to wait and see what Mueller comes up with? Everything will happen after the next election. Maybe the Democrats will win the House and everything will be different?

But, will it?

How long must America suffer thru such criminal incompetence?

They refuse to address that their hunger for power has corrupted the entire system. They accepted Russian money and collusion to gain that power and refuse to give it up.

Finding out they are corrupt , and were illegally doing things with elections , and more , and now are using it against them for control. He funneled money with the NRA's help to their campaigns , and has them under his control now, and cheeto, until some flip over to the other party, and fight against him .

It's like the brand new way to launder money. Hundreds of millions of dollars can be installed in campaigns and can be done anonymously.

against them and the fact that they will not back down on any of the destruction that they are imposing on our government. Doesn't it make you suspect - that all the polling is talking about a 'blue wave' come Nov Midterms and yet there doesn't seem to be any concern on the part of the Repugs that they will lose their power base?

Either they know that the fix is in and they won't lose their power base - that between the gerrymandering; the voter suppression; their cheating and stealing votes and the help from their Russian friends - they will still be in control of Congress after the Midterms.

Or

They are purposely throwing the election to turn over the mess that they and Trump have created over the last 2 years because given timing - everything will turn to crap when the Dems take over and they'll just sit back and blame every bad thing that happens to the economy, healthcare, environment, world trade, immigration, etc - on the Dems.

Things just don't seem to be making any sense any more. The Repugs are acting like they have it all figured out and that they will 'win' no matter what the outcome of the Midterms are.

They are sacrificing the country for their $174,000 a year jobs and all the stock tips they can get.
