It's time to stop pussyfooting around with republicans. Since the

media won't point out the obvious it's up to the Democratic Party leadership and every elected official to force republicans to either defend or condemn the Russian attack on the United States of America. Demand answers from every republican. Ask the question, demand an answer in person or via the press and don't give up until they answer. Ask the two traitors running for Senate in Georgia where they stand. We can't afford to let this slide into another Russia Russia Russia non-answer. Call for resignation from trump and those who support the obvious enemy. You are leaders please lead.

Sure about that? Apparently just barely, by the skin of our teeth.

A large part of what you said is true. But the previous poster also makes a valid point. Public shaming (with the exception of Trump) does little in addressing the issue. I believe the outrage is justified, and the response unfolding. Biden has already made a strong public statement. Others will follow -- and there will be a crafted (and intelligent) response. Painting this as a partisan issue -- while perhaps gratifying -- would be a disservice to the country.

and until he is in office not much we can do...and I do not care for the implication that Democrats are not doing enough...go after the GOP...it is much more satisfying...promise.

we will see wholesale starvation starting the day after Christmas and homelessness too. And I doubt we can get anything passed if we don't get Georgia.
