Wittingly or unwittingly, the US Senate is falling into the trap of the Trump-Putin Alliance.

They are not usually such naive creatures of norm.

But, it is very possible that the entire bunch is being used as pawns of a larger conspiracy.

We were told that building the wall on our southern border was a national emergency. It was more of a political stunt than anything else. The true emergency is wreaking havoc upon our government from his seat in the White House. But, all conservatives seem to want smaller government and it doesn't really matter to them how they get it.

After all, Mitch is their Leader. He gets them "conservatives" to sit on the Supreme Court.

I think the majority are unwitting agents of this Trump-Putin Alliance and are naive to the bigger picture going on around them?

Most of them already have received a dacha.
