In reply to the discussion: A complete destruction of the State Department is what Putin told Trump to do. [View all]lark
(26,082 posts)17. Sadly, that one patriotic Republican who cares more for country than selfish greed
is nowhere to be found. They are all traitorous greedy haters who are OK with poor people dying so rich don't have to pay a few extra dollars in taxes. They are willing to give the country to Pootie, as long as they get to implement their Teahadist laws, including no public education, no real healthcare for anyone except the rich, bad air and water, women have no ability to obtain contraception so there are tons of ignorant serfs who will die quickly if they get seriously ill or injured. Oh yeah, they also want to be able to discriminate freely against LGBT folks. They'll put up with the destruction of the country and the world just to get those.
