We are being invaded by Russia and yet...

The Republican Congress haven't done squat about a foreign country (Russia) hacking into us and trying to influence our election.

ARE WE NOT ALL AMERICANS???

Yeah...it's that nuts.

But don't dare sit during the National Anthem.

Russia is not invading us. Computers being hacked is not an invasion. We don't need Republican methodology (war) to address the situation.

But my point is as stated.

Republicans put their party over our country and then call others unpatriotic.

I just get concerned about some of the rhetoric I see about Russia. I really hope we don't end up in a military conflict of any sort with them.

Putin is not going to be fighting. The people killing each other won't have anything to do with that situation.

Something like the northern hemisphere unites and the hemispheres negotiate for survival.

No war we hope.

But this climate degradation is in exponential mode it seems.

Sorry I can't be more optimistic but I did enjoy tRump getting his ass handed to him tonight.

Proof is hard to come by, and there are laws.

Notice that the Judicial isn't doing much, either.

That leaves the executive branch, the branch that actually executes the laws to enforce them. That's probably as well in hand as can be expected.

What's left that Congress could do is allocate money, if any's needed, for additional counter-intelligence. But if none's been requested, just throwing money at an agency typically has the same effect just throwing money at education has: Lots o' money spent, not a great deal to show for it.
