Kompromat in Chief

Alarming how many conservative and RW voters and politicians don't care that the President is a compromised Russian asset.

Corrupt and criminal yes, but I would have nevered guess that the Republican Party would actively suppot the betrayal of the country.

I grew up in the 50s and 60s. Even beyond that, Reagan continued to be a cold warrior.

Trump loves dictatorships, and he will embrace any authoritarian regime he can find.

The Republicans of Reagan or the Bushes were proper wankers. Evil and corrupt.

But I did not think they would so willfully betray the US.

I remember the slogan for the Republicans, used to be something like, 'the only good red, is a dead red". As they send other peoples sons off to war. Funny how things change, when there is money, to be made.

They see Cheeto as their big chance - given that Dubya apparently only gave them half of what they wanted (the effective rescission of the Bill of Rights).

As long as Cheeto makes their Despotic dreams come true, he could bang Ivanka in the Rose Garden on a bed covered in rubles for all they care.
