Another letter to Brad, my congressman. A regular feature?

I think I'll start sharing all of these.
MY congressman is Bradley Byrne.
(R) 1st District, Alabama

This is Brad.
Ain't he a good looking dude?
He loves tRump.
I write him letters.
Here's the latest.

Dear Brad,

Man!
It sure is looking bad for the home team, hunh?
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it went nuke.
And I’m not talking about the North Koreans, which is scary enough.

The president of the United States of America, the leader(?) of the Free World, hobnobbing, backslapping, and grinning with TWO Russian operatives?
Good thing he allowed no U.S. reporters or photographers in the room to record THAT!
Oh, wait.
He DID allow a photographer from TASS?
“Tass is owned by the Government of Russia. Headquartered in Moscow, Russia,
Tass has 70 offices in Russia and in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), as well as 68 bureaus around the world.”

Son, I think we’re in some deep doo doo now.
Way deep.

I think it might be a good time to begin to distance yourself from this train wreck.
At this point I think you could STILL give yourself some plausible deniability.
Barely.

Listen, it’s never to late to see the error of your ways, do a mea culpa, and try for redemption.
What have you got to lose?

Yur bud,
(trof)

1. He ran for governor

May 2017

Main article: Alabama gubernatorial election, 2010
During the campaign, he was accused by his opponents in the Republican primary of supporting evolution and of doubting that the Bible was infallible. "As a Christian and as a public servant, I have never wavered in my belief that this world and everything in it is a masterpiece created by the hands of God ...

As a member of the Alabama Board of Education, the record clearly shows that I fought to ensure the teaching of creationism in our school text books. Those who attack me have distorted, twisted and misrepresented my comments and are spewing utter lies to the people of this state." He also added that he believed "every single word" of the Bible was true.[13]

And "Reagan would never have allowed that."

Great letter!
