is communicating to Americans and Democrats Chuck and Nancy than they are about the Trump team's relationship to Russians. I thought that said it all.

(Applegrove later)

Add to that how Republicans went after Obama's foreign policy all along, when opposition parties had always previously agreed that politics stops at the border, and you have the Republican Party of today. Their greatest enemy is the American people thinking and then voting. Or anyone who helps them think and vote.

I bumped into a liberal Canadian politician a few years ago and asked him what he thought of Conservatives. He said the problem isn't that Canadians didn't trust conservative PM Stephen Harper, the problem was that PM Stephen Harper did not trust Canadians. Then the liberals won the election.

It is exactly that in the USA. Notice how desperate the Republicans are to get something to replace the ACA with something that will kill off middle class and lower voters between the ages of 50 to 65, when people get more sick more often. No matter what repeal and replace bill they come up with it always includes that.

At some point it will gel with Trump and republican supporters that the Republicans don't want anything for them and that Trump knows nothing about them other than their racism. And that the Big GOP donors hate them. And that Republicans and Trump see most Americans as enemies.

1. Putin is a fascist dictator.

That is the wet dream of just about every Trumpist Rethug.

It's Putin envy.

3. Saying Putin is a fascist, is like calling...

...an Iranian and Arab. The latter will get you into the hospital fast, and the former, if uttered in Russia will get you six feet under. "The Great Patriotic War" is well defined in Russian minds.

Putin is however a corrupt autocrat under the camouflage of legitimacy of the Duma...which was severely hampered in power no thanks to Yeltsin and our support of him vs. the democratic process and the Duma. Putin has even gone on record as stating he views Tsar Nicholas II and Secretary General Gorbachev as autocratic failures for not holding on to power.

However, Putin is exploiting fascist tendencies of Republicans to the detriment of the country. He's helping fascists in our country hurt themselves....and we're being dragged down with them by association.

2. They want to kill off everything "Obama"

and that includes the people who voted for him. They will stop at nothing. Their pure evil and greed is what makes the GOP the sick sociopaths that will destroy this country. I have never seen a government like this... except in other corrupt societies, now we are joining them and this will be historic and change this country irreparably.
