And Republicans in Congress, along with their radio talkshows and FOX so-called News are aiding and abetting him right now.
If that isn't traitorous behavior then what is?

That is clear now.
At first I thought they were just sympathetic to Vladdy because they knew he could help them win, but it is becoming clearer and clearer that many are connected to him, and not just no good piece of shit Dana Rohrabacher but others too.
I just read the article about the CIA telling trump they had PROOF a year ago that Putin hacked the elections, and then trump went on national television and said that was a lie, that the CIA was lying and he was telling the truth.
I mean holy fuck.
If the GOP pushes Mueller out then we have to be in the streets, all of us. I mean 200 million of us. Or we all perish., some physically but all of us will lose everything at a minimum.

Eliot Rosewater
(31,112 posts)did they consider themselves patriotic and were they republicans at any point in their lives?
I ask because I cant imagine what they would say now if alive.
What I truly want to know is 70 and 80 something republicans who voted for Reagan and loved him, do they support Trump?
If so then my theory that this is an aberration or these are radical racists is incorrect, that the default position of most republicans is to side with party no matter the harm it does.
I dont want to believe that. I also wont ever forgive or let up on McCain if he signs the final bill that will devastate the middle class and the poor.

He was a Limbaugh fan though.
I remember my mom told me that she asked him about Limbaugh, "What if he's wrong?"
Never got an answer.

And he would be devastated and angry as hell to witness our own government selling the country to the Russians.
I am quite able to imagine what he would say, but I cannot print it in a public forum.
Born in Boston to Irish immigrant parents, he was born a Democrat as was I.
So I cannot speak to what Republicans are feeling right now.
Impossible for me to fathom the inner workings of their minds.
