Trump is in bed with the Russians. The GOP leadership must face that fact.

GOP leadership, pretending that they do not see the obvious connections between Donald Trump and his Russian spies does great harm toward the security and sovereignty of the United States. Why Republicans are immobilized with fear Russia's intelligence services are running amok. The United States is in grave danger. Call on your Republican friends to act and remove Donald Trump from his position of influence be it is too late.

The intelligence agencies are the only hope for ousting the entire drumpf administration and they absolutely need to be ousted.

Putin's government has had more access to trump for a longer period of time. With no doubt, they want to confirm his loyalty to them.

but that is wrong. Dead wrong. Ronald Reagan is gagging in his grave.

republicans owe respect, loyalty and honesty to the citizens of the United States of America.

Wake the f*ck up, republicans. Show a shred of honor. Or move to freaking Siberia.

The hour is late.

Our hope lies in....
The media that's ticked off because of how they're being treated and the threat to their 1st Amendment rights.
The intelligence community that's also now very angry.
The American people who are either increasingly angry or growing more so as they wake up to the fact that they've been snickered by Cons.

in the middle of last year, long before the election. McConnell refused to hold hearings on the tRump/Russia connections, saying it would appear to be too partisan!! He refused to hold hearings for Garland, saying "The next president will choose the Supreme Court nominee" He KNEW the fix was in. Plus for his loyalty he got his wife a cushy job in the administration. The gop were eagerly awaiting the fake election, to rush through their agenda to screw over the working class people. It is what they do, after all. Now they are busy gerrymandering their own districts, to ensure their seats after the next elections. Citizens had better open their eyes, see what is going on.

The convention was only last summer. We have to remember how many people actively campaigned against Trump. Not every Republican knew about the Russians, or wanted them.

The ones who did should be found guilty of some form of treason (active or passive.)

Republican Congressmen know that any blowback against Trump will likely result in a Wikileaks release that would damage them and maybe bring them down completely.

That's why this whole thing is a cluster right now. The Russians have the Republicans by the short hairs, and let's face it, they're not exactly the most patriotic bunch in Washington....they just claim to be.

tends to have them selfishly focus only on themselves and their agenda. In their minds, it's "now or never" to implement 30 - 40 years worth of planned RW fascist ideological initiatives and Russian interference in our nation be damned.

It's Russian aiding and abetting. Witting or unwitting, those in the know have made Russian assets of themselves. They are incapable of behaving ethically, patriotically or governing effectively.

From their standpoint, it's nothing more than a cheat nitrous oxide booster on their car to get their agenda to the finish line and enacted as fast as they can.

is rushing through new bills dismantling our nation's legal structure and rebuilding it with a corporatist fascist lean. They are destroying processes vital to the function of our many departments, passing new laws inserting corruption into our structure and transferring national wealth to their friends, limiting the rights of the people's, expanding business's, and on and on.

A glance at every edition of any good newspaper will reveal new congressional actions that in any normal era would be major stories, but there's just too much to know these days and attention is focused very obligingly on the horrifying realities of the executive branch.

It's now party over country for the GOP. They are too drunk with power to realize that our country has been compromised by a hostile foreign nation. They hate liberals more than Putin.
