Are we supposed to believe it is "normal" to do what Giuliani and Nunes are doing?

Or what Trump is doing with his shadow State Dept that is off on their own making deals for God knows who, is normal??

Or that ignoring our laws and our Constitution, is normal?

Or threatening our democracy and our national security, is normal?

If you are one that believes that Trump is OK and normal with his words and actions, then you have your head up your ass.

No one can accept such defective thinking.

Which apparently is a lot of Americans. I believe their creed is if it makes you money, it can’t be bad.

It is unacceptable. It is a conspiracy. It is a crime.

It is not possible to look the other way, if you care about our country and our democracy.

That's the part that really stinks to high heaven. No way you do that if you're really interested in corruption. The first thing they hear about the investigation should be when they are arrested or indicted, along with anyone else caught up in it. These bastards all know that.

I don't see how anyone can excuse it that is paying attention. Unfortunately, a sizable number of
Americans know it and just don't care, b/c they're pure consequentialists who only care about short term
gains, or, they don't know what's going on (checked out), or they think they know what's going on
fed to them by fox, or, they're religious nihilists. Anyway you cook it - it's nutty coo-coo.
