How, I wonder, does a Traitorous President skate after

[MineralMan]

firing the FBI Director, then immediately meeting, smiling and laughing with the Foreign Minister of Russia and the Russian Ambassador to the United States.

How is it that a massive outcry has not been heard from the Halls of Congress. How can anyone look at that photo of the three fat men in the White House celebrating the firing of the man who was heading up an investigation of Trump colluding with Russia?

How does an Ambassador who met with a Trump surrogate at the Republican Convention, followed by a change in the Republican Platform that favored Russian in its dispute with Ukraine, get to laugh it up with Trump and the Foreign Minister of Russia, all with no US press present, but covered by a Russian TASS photographer?

How is it that we're not hearing an outpouring of anger from all sides about this blatant arrogance and blindness from our President.

Ladies and Gentlemen, President Trump is celebrating sticking his finger in the eye of this country with people who would celebrate the death of our nation. Are we not going to condemn this in the loudest possible voices?

I'm sorry, but this is so blatant a signal from Trump that it cannot be ignored any longer.

1. I would like to ask the GOP senators this:

This is a big deal and it's not going away. How do you want to be remembered when the history books are written? Do you want to be thought of as another Howard Baker, one of the Republicans who had the stones to encourage the investigation of a president from his party, and who is now considered one of the heroes of the Watergate crisis? Or would you prefer to be remembered, if at all, as one of the cowardly partisan stooges who either actively participated in the coverup of the Trump team's collusion with Russia, or at best sat by and let it happen with nothing more than a little tsk-tsk and a tepid remark that you found it all a tad "troubling"?

3. They posture endlessly about how oh! so patriotic they are

yet throw roadblocks up to protect a President who plays footsie with Russia and conducts business with various strongmen.
I would like to throw the faux patriotism in their faces as well as their stupid supporters

2. I keep wondering the same thing

Any President, republican or democratic, would never get away with a forth of what Trump has already gotten away with in just a couple of months.
No President would be allowed to profit from the Presidency, conduct traitorous relations with various strongmen, have his children be in his administration, ect.
Not even teflon Reagan.
Yet. from day one Trump has done countless impeachable offenses and no one is doing a damn thing.

4. If you support a theocratic, one-party hegemony

why would you do anything about it? Not to mention the GOP already has the black mark of Nixon. Why rush to expose your party's repeated idiocy of electing amoral and corrupt individuals to the POTUS?

5. Republicans are happily ignoring it

No special prosecutor and you know they'll approve the stooge that gets appointed new director.

We have to take the house back in 2018.

7. Kick.

When Kelly O' Donnell announced the TASS caper my fight-or-flight mechanism went into overdrive.

Reaching back, I guess the last time I had such a profound negative reaction was driving to a Vets for Peace meeting just as the bombs began to fall on Baghdad.

I didn't think it could get worse.
