The MSM, cable news, is owned and managed by right wing oligarchs.
Ted Cruz and Lyndsey Graham get credit for being Trump fluffers, but how many people remember, or even know about Rand Paul flying to Moscow in 2018 to hand deliver a letter from Trump to Putin? This, remember was after the Trump/Helsinki bowing down to Putin debacle.
The Magat party is a terrorist organization that is right now scheming how to destroy our democracy.

To "get to the bottom of this" will absolutely require, demand and "stamp our feet until they start playing right" that everyone who receives a government check (I'm looking at you, too, MIC contractors) open their other-set-of-books for inspection. Seriously folks, our military is a freaking cesspool of graft and "cover their ass" secrecy which would probably make even Putin's commanders roll their eyes melo-dramatically.
For decades military personnel have gotten away with blaming the "name plate doors" (when Democrats are in control it's the elected officialdom) but it has always been someone NOT in uniform who was pointed at accusingly for every item of waste and fraud they actually know about. That cat is waaaay out of the bag, now. Even the grunts understand how their superiors are, if they're clever enough, in it for the post-retirement connections value which is their ticket to easy street, and they know these guys will stoop pretty low to secure that address. They may even suspect the psychological plumbing in which some of these winner-warriors swim.
This graft is not circumstantial, it's systemic. Let me repeat for clarity, the graft is not circumstantial, it's systemic. It is the single most quantifiable and tangible aspect of the dangerous conspiracy currently under juristic excavation which threatens our way of life today.
It's high time to call on the good guys, the honest cops and the genuine soldiers to stand firmly in support of democracy. People of good will and straightforward truths will stand firm beside and behind them.

Wonder how they get their steamer trunks shipped to D.C. from USSR? And which bank launders their filthy money?

IN 2018, EIGHT REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS celebrated the Fourth of July in Moscow, Russia: Senator Richard C. Shelby of Alabama, who led the delegation, along with Senators Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, John Neely Kennedy of Louisiana, Steve Daines of Montana, North Dakotas John Hoeven, Jerry Moran of Kansas, South Dakotas John Thune, and Rep. Kay Granger of the 12th District of Texas.
Paul was accompanied by Don Huffines, a Republican member of the Texas state Senate; and Peter Goettler, president and chief executive of the libertarian Cato Institute. The group also planned to visit St. Petersburg, Russias second-largest city and President Vladimir Putins hometown, Russian state-run media reported.
The upper echelons of the Republican oligarchs are so beholden to Russian money, especially through the NRA, that most of them are Putin's puppets.
Notice how many of the coup caucus were there especially senators Kennedy, JOhnson, and Daines.

It is extremely evident that the current Quasi-Republican Party members are a complete 180 from the true republicans of the decades in our past............
They have been working towards this government overthrow for four plus decades, and are still continuing forward to try and make it happen......
We are still, just a millimeter away from a Corporate Fascist Tyranny..........Not the USA most of us cherish, but the CSA....
"Corporate States of America".....
Again, I say: The perfect title for a book about the last forty years would be: "WHILE THE NATION SLEPT"...........

I'm glad he's not here to see it.

(13,003 posts)but my father spent 3 and a half years ON FOOT, with the Army chasing Rommel across Africa, thru Kasserine pass? and up into France and Italy.......He even had a wrinkled snapshot a friend and he took of Mussolini and his Mistress upside down, hanging from their feet.
He would be far far more than "revolted" by this so called, quasi group of Republican fascists who are following in the footsteps of the Fascist Mussolini........
Even in his old age, I would have loved to have seen one of these *Chicken Shit* pussies, all dressed up in Military Garb get in his face........
("Chicken Shits" were the term he and his fellow veterans used for the draft dodging pussies, like Trump, most members of the Republican Senate, the members of the Republican House, and a majority of Trump Humpers)
