Will The Russia Shooting Our Troops Story Be It

[Me.]

the enough is enough moment for the GOP and finally gets him pushed out...or is it the ho hum story of the day for them.?

[Gothmog]

1. trump is Putin's puppet

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I don't think anything he does makes a difference to the GOP.

Anyhow they'll just claim it's not true.

[captain queeg]

3. I wouldn't count on it. They'll all chant fakes news, nothing to see here.

[Me.]

4. Sadly, You May Be Right

but I wonder what Americans at large will think

[Generic Brad]

5. GOP Senators and Congressmen on Russia's payroll?

Not a chance. Traitors. Every fucking last one of them.

[ElementaryPenguin]

6. It's another nail in the coffin for Trump politically.

It can't be defended. Even by the evil Hannity.

[secondwind]

10. Most definitely!

[Wellstone ruled]

7. This Story has legs.

But,it could die for lack of coverage by the East Coast Papers as well as Main Street Media.

We will finally see the true link between media and Trump on his ability to quash this story.

[Stuart G]

8. This is NOT.. a "ho hum story"..It is a major story & in time everyone will know about it..

...It proves that Trump is/was/ and always has been a "Russian Agent."

[Pachamama]

27. +100000

Completely agree

[Glamrock]

9. Well,

fortunately for them, it was an article in the NY Times. So knowing that the Times is "out to get Trump/GOP/Christians/White People", they can ignore this until Rush/Sean/Tucker tell them what to think.

In short, no, this isn't going to budge the "patriots" on the other side.

[Freddie]

11. Nah

Just another day in Trump Land.
I hope Joe makes an issue of “scandal fatigue.” That’s why he gets away with murder. Another scandal, must be Tuesday.

[kimbutgar]

12. No because it will not be reported in the Pro mf45 media

Will FOX report it? OANN? No
Will Rump, Sean, Levin , Savage, Ingram Etal report it. No

It will piss off dear leader leader and so It won’t be reported.

And when it comes out again it will be fake news.

[Atticus]

13. "I'm sorry, but I haven't seen the particulars of the alleged briefing so, of course, it

would not be appropriate for me to comment and I'm late for a very important meeting, so------"

Wash, rinse, repeat.

[dalton99a]

14. Kick

[Me.]

23. Wow...This Story May Actually Have Legs

and the betrayal of the Menace of his country may finally be so blindingly clear they can't miss it or ignore it.

[soothsayer]

15. I think it has legs

[empedocles]

22. The 'legs' need a big, clear, loud, mouth.

Have to admit trump has it down, loud, clear, and wider appeal. 'Statue Vandals' - while the Dems have various positions and explanations.

[Hoyt]

16. Don't think it's going far. We've done much the same, for one thing. We should have left Afghanistan

years ago. The number of soldiers killed there have been relatively small in recent years.

Most importantly, trump has done far worse.

[paleotn]

20. Granted...but...

The framing on this really hits American sensibilities, left and right. It's powerful and can be used to great affect.

[Hoyt]

21. If we can make trump look bad, I'm all for it.

[aeromanKC]

17. We will need SCOTUS to open up Trump's taxes so it becomes public Trump is Putin's you know what.

[Me.]

25. Rhymes With Itch?

The tell with this will be if it's on the evening news

[paleotn]

18. No....they're welded to this sinking ship

They can't. Their base will turn on them in droves. Romney can say the things he does only because Donnie was never all that popular in Utah to begin with. Other Republicans like Wilson and Conway say what they say because they have no political office to lose. Those who do hold political office can't say the emperor has no cloths. It would be political suicide. In short, they built this ship and by god they're going down with it whether they want to or not.

[not_the_one]

24. "they built this ship and by god they're going down with it whether they want to or not"

So Be It.

As Sir Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean-Luc Picard) says, "Make It So".

[paleotn]

34. My thoughts exactly!

Couldn't happen to a more nefarious group of arses.

[Ohioboy]

19. Oligarchs and oligarch wannabes don't really need to be concerned about their countries

In fact, loyalty to their home countries just gets in the way of their real goals.

[NurseJackie]

26. They don't care.

[Takket]

28. nah.......

this will all blow over in a few days. we are all caught in a perpetual hurricane of outrage that dies off and reinvigorates itself when the next band of wind and rain comes ashore.

the right will make excuses, the left will throw their arms in the air in outrage, and we'll move on to the next one with no kind of resolution.

such is life in the drumpf years.

[Happy Hoosier]

29. I doubt it.

I think it took something hitting close to home to get to the last few persuadables. The base will never change their mind.

[gulliver]

30. For one thing, it gives Moscow Mitch more to answer for...

...so I expect to hear more about it. It's just one factor, but Trump, McConnell, and other embracers of the Rat Face Putin will pay a political price.

[Windy City Charlie]

31. Problem is

Problem is is this just another Friday night news dump, when most aren't paying attention. Wouldn't be surprised the NYT coordinated with the Trump administration on when to release this story.

[dalton99a]

33. +1. Wouldn't surprise me in the least

[Paladin]

32. trump's idiot base won't give a shit, as usual.

So the Republican leadership won't give a shit, either.

No point in overestimating these scumbags.

[electric_blue68]

35. On Mon call Congress

our Dems to get them to make a serious fuss about something so serious

Repugs bc maybe if enough people from each State, District.... maaaaybe a few will change.

If you don't try, you'll never know!

FREE CONGRESS!!!
