If Schindler's correct, the purge is coming. Tidal Wave alert for all who are complicit.

We're looking at you, Donny & Co.

Kiss Vlad's ass publicly ...
maybe you are just an idiot

Hire up a bunch of Putin sympathizers ...
maybe you are just putin's useful idiot

Fire the FBI director...
Maybe you have something to hide...

Honor Vlad's request to meet with the Russian FM
& Russian Ambassador
in the Oval Office
With only Russian State Press
And
Disclose Classified information to them...
You might actually be Putin's boy...

Shove the NATO guy from Maldovia(sp) to get front & center...
You are definitely a Pompous Ass

Hijack the dedication speech to criticize NATO and fail to publicly proclaim US support for Article 5 at the NATO event...
okay...
now we know
you are both Putin's boy & a pompous Ass

Let it rain....

You couldn't find anything to discredit the content so you try to discredit the messenger with a falsehood. He was not fired. He resigned over a photo of a penis that had nothing to do with security issues. But regardless of the factual error, you don't like the content of the OP and shoot the tweeter with an issue that has nothing to do with tRump, nothing to do with Russia, nothing to do with NATO, nothing to do with the Intelligence Community, nothing to do with Europe, nothing to do with security services, nothing to do with Putin, and nothing to do with the future career of Donald tRump. Interesting.

To top it off, you append the disingenuous insincere "Just saying".

"you don't like the content of the OP".......NO that's not it at all....
If I source something 1) it won't be from a tweet.. without several back up sources....2) a tweet from a guy that can't keep his junk in his drawers...not my 1st go to

Just sayin' his twitter feed is a fustercluck

He's in a battle right now saying he doesn't support and won't defend Mench...

The tweet in question..... "After [Trump NATO speech] it's obvious he's Putin's boy. Now we will act."....not his words....his "pals".......act How?
No links to squat....just something he put in quotation marks...

In the meantime, feel free to obsess over his penis that you brought up twice.

Yes, please. The sooner the better. Make it good and make it something that even his sycophants, minions, and toadies can't ignore.

We've had enough of this nightmare.

The question is, will the republicans do the right thing?

So far they have not
