The whole Russia thing, I mean there's absolutely no evidence out there that Trump colluded with the Russians except the Manafort thing, and the Flynn thing, and the Roger Stone thing, and the Cohen thing, and the Kushner thing, and the Carter Page thing, and the Jeff Sessions things, and the Wilbur Ross thing, and the JD Gordon thing, and the Erik Prince thing, and the James Comey firing thing, and the Russian hacking/Wikileaks thing, and the bro-love between TrumPutin thing, and the Russian propaganda machine favoring Trump thing, and the DJT "I have zero ties to Russia!" thing, and the Eric Trump "we get most of our financing from Russian banks thing", and the Donald Trump Jr. "Our portfolio is made up of a disproportionate amount of Russian money" thing, and the DJT "I sold a $60 million mansion to a Russian oligarch known for money laundering for $120 million that he never once lived in " thing, and the Trump business ties with Putin's favorite sports athlete Fedor Emilianenko thing, and the Trump International Corporation's mysterious private server connection to Alfa Bank, Russia's largest commercial bank thing, and the Special prosecutor being named thing, and the I won't release my tax returns thing, and the Ivanka Trump's vacationing with Putin's girlfriend thing, and the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow thing, and the Trump companies business ties to Felix Sater, a criminal felon indicted for stock fraud scheme with the Russian mafia thing, and the FL Group Icelandic hedge fund with massive ties to Putin being heavily invested in Trump Soho thing, and the Rex Tillerson/Exxon ties to Russia thing, and the Russian ambassador at Trump Tower sneaking in and out thing, and the Trump tried to roll back Russian sanctions the minute he got elected thing, and Congress passing more sanctions on Russia and Trump blatantly not inforcing them thing.
Other than that, there's absolutely no reason to suspect anything. 😕
"The whole Russia thing..."
Found this gem on Facebook.

Republicans love their Putin

@Hobie_SHRED
Republicans admire Putin as a "strong leader". They've said so publicly for years. George W said he looked him in the eyes and trusts his "soul".
So what's the big surprise that #FoxNews and #Republicans favor him?

A reminder why we can't have universal healthcare and good careers in cleaning up our environment.
This is a lot of payola.
Much of which going not to the rank and file service personnel who risk everything but rather to wealthy private contractors.http://www.ibtimes.com/political-capital/defense-department-war-terror-has-cost-250-million-day-16-years-2608639

They are interested in "the rule of the #GOP ".
They are willing to attack law enforcement and climb into bed with #Putin to achieve it.

Big money has no "term limits". Lobbyists have no "term limits". The "revolving door" has no term limits. Term limits on Congress fix nothing.

What passes for logic in the Oval Office:
Republicans control the Senate.
Republicans control the House.
Republicans control the White House.
Last year, @POTUS tweeted that we need a good shutdown.
If government closes, whos responsible? Democrats!

The Steele Dossier

@4everNeverTrump
Multiple people named in the Steele Dossier have ended up dead under mysterious circumstances. Steele himself is likely in mortal danger.
What does the GOP do? Demonize him daily and recommend criminal charges against him. I.e., exactly what Putin desires.
