A complete destruction of the State Department is what Putin told Trump to do. [View all]

The state department is what makes America a leader through out the world.

Putin hates that.

The state department is being destroyed on purpose for a reason.

Putin is running the show. GOP is good with that. Rest of the world not so much.

Thanks to Rachel for pointing this out. You can see how frustrated she is, she is watching the Russians take over our government and pretty much nobody cares.

By nobody I mean I bet you 85% of the country has no clue what I am talking about.

Oh, is it a coincidence Assange released CIA intel now? Nope, you know Trump asked him to, the ultimate treason, if anybody cares. And if he didn't ask him to, he didn't have to, it was obvious it was done to help Trump.

Oh what we would give for ONE patriot in the republican party right about now.
