Trump-supporting Tea Partier stuns CNN host by saying the president-elect is on the verge of treason

Former Republican Congressman and prominent conservative radio host Joe Walsh slammed the president-elect and fellow Republicans Monday over their lack of interest in investigating Russia’s attempt to influence the election in favor of Donald Trump.

“I’m outraged at the lack of outrage, especially on my side, the Republican side,” Walsh told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin. “I get that the country is divided, but my god: a foreign government interfered with our election. That should piss everybody off.”

Walsh iterated several of the talking points he made earlier Monday on Twitter, ripping into the partisan reaction to the CIA assessment. “It’s like because our guy won, Trump won, we’re going to keep our mouths shut,” Walsh said. “I mean that’s just so wrong.”

Walsh argued there’s “no debate” that Russia attempted to influence the election in favor of Trump.”

“It’s a fact,” Walsh said. “And then for Donald Trump … to call it ridiculous and not believe it, he ought to be ashamed of himself.”

I mean, what's the big schmeal about a foreign country intervening in our national election to get the winner it wanted?

Conway: There is no way to get out of proportion on that proposition. It's a serious attack on our country, and anyone not alarmed by the prospect needs to take Remedial Civics.

remember that they are not the party faithful, but more like the bernie bros.
they may very well squeak up.

lets hope some of those electors want to take that constitution out for a stroll.
personally, i am hoping obama speak to them. and makes sure they know what their job is and isnt. you wanna call that partisan, you can kiss my shiny metal ass.

House chastises South Carolina representative who called Obama a liar

The US House of Representatives today formally scolded a South Carolina Congressman who shouted that President Barack Obama is a liar during a speech to a joint session of congress last week.

The US House of Representatives today formally scolded a South Carolina Congressman who shouted that President Barack Obama is a liar during a speech to a joint session of congress last week.

In a 240-179 vote, the House passed a resolution of disapproval, a mild rebuke to Representative Joe Wilson. Wilson last week interrupted the president with a shout of "you lie" as Obama declared that illegal immigrants would not be covered under a health insurance reform programme proposed by the Democrats. The vote goes into the congressional record but carries no further penalty. Eleven Democrats voted against the resolution and seven Republicans voted in favour. Five Democrats voted "present".

The healthcare legislation under consideration in the congress specifically bars illegal immigrants from receiving care under its provisions, though Republicans say the bill lacks verification requirements.

When buyer's remorse sets in even before the EC makes him the president-elect. (Which he isn't -- yet -- by the way. There has only been one election and he lost that one. He is only the "president presumptive.&quot

The party rode this orangatan right into the white house, and then said,
"What? Godzilla?!? How'd he get in here?!?"
