Republicans are on a mission on hiding and looking the other way, i.e. "striping campaigns from notifying monies and support from foreign identities".

How can anyone support the GOP? How can people place Trump's tyranny above the integrity of the nation?

Can we just let all of this sink in?

The GOP is indirectly supporting Putin's orders to kill US SOLDIERS.

Trump is DIRECTLY SUPPORTING Putin's orders to kill US SOLDIERS.

In other words, The GOP and Trump are complacent in the killing of their own people, our own defense.

THIS is what the GOP and Trump have been reduced to. They are co-operating with a real adversary in the killing of our military personnel.

WHEN will we wake up and declare that the GOP and Trump are enemies of the American people?

Remember Trump attacking the free press by declaring that THEY are enemies of the American people? Remember that Trump always uses "projection" as a means of distracting the public from his own evil intentions. HE is the enemy of the American people. He must be cut out of the political realm ASAP. He's destroying our nation. INTENTIONALLY.

at least for me, is that trump-putin has something on most of the republicans in the House and Senate. If not I would think they would be smart enough to realize their chance of keeping the Senate are not good at all, and dumping him would be the only way to save them.

I think there was a lot of Russian money going to republicans in 2016. Now some of them may not hav know where the money came from, but they still took it with no questions asked.

I also know a that a narcissist gathers dirt on people, and use it against them. I am sure trump has gotten his "people" to gather all the dirt they can on not only the Democrats, but also republicans. It all boils down to the republicans putting trump over country because the fear him. They will all go down with trump in the end.

Republicans have been politics over policy for some time now. They stand for nothing except staying in power.

I don’t see why the discussion on anything Russia and Trump now simply accepts the premise (on both sides) that American troops have to fight halfway across the world into perpetuity.

(Let me clarify here, I don’t believe Trump is a dove. He could have - and did not - bring all the troops back home from Afghanistan.)
