Since when do individual Senators make it their job to discount the intelligence of the CIA?
Mitch McConnell has refused bipartisan cooperation to release a report by the CIA showing the extent of Russian involvement in our most recent election. What must he be thinking?
This is sabotage of the highest order. The attempt to block or disrupt the information from reaching the people of this country. It is a dire offense.
These are unknown and uncharted waters. We must be vigilant.

(23,970 posts)Why else would he have been SO adamant about no hearing of Merrick Garland. He had to have known the fix was in.
I detest this treasonous SOB just as much as I detest DFT (Donald Fucking Trump).

(35,324 posts)we could have a nationwide strike. All those in Congress Republicans and Democrats should be on trial for treason.
When you have a foreign government installing a puppet dictator in our government the hell with the oath of secrecy

They don't have to pass exceptions to the laws. They don't have to approve individuals if they are not qualified to hold the position. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency can not be run by someone who disagrees with everything the EPA might do. That disqualifies him. The EPA is there to protect the people, not his corporate friends.

(45,806 posts)might win if he did. I'm HOPING now, that it's held against HIM for keeping pertinent info a secret when we had every right to know. IMO, McTurtle is a traitor and should be charged with treason along with Comey and whoever else was involved in the election theft. I don't care what happens to the Pub Party over this. My wishes are that it dies under it's own weight of lies.

(25,240 posts)McConnell with the cover by RW talking heads and under cover by a bogus president-elect Trump - will just call this Partisan Politics being played by the sore losers the Dems. The Trump supporters will fall in behind this meme and I'm afraid of what might break out in this country.

Blinded by racism and hatred... The Republicans sold their (and our) souls to Putin (Apparently, the highest bidder.)

(90,762 posts)And much like Selection 2000, it'll all be about moving forward, how strong our democracy is, and how wonderful it is that even when we disagree, we have peaceful transfers of power.
We're going to pretend that we are stronger than what took place, and in the doing, actually continue to weaken our democracy.
But I'm a cynic and could be wrong.
