Silence Speaks Volumes

I am so pissed off right now. I find it increasingly difficult to find the words...

Trump is overseas insulting our allies and playing directly into the hands of Putin. This is outrageous! Enough is enough.

What will history say about this period of time in our country? It will not be pretty.

Donald Trump is systematically tearing our country apart while Senate and Congressional Republicans say NOTHING. .

It is impossible to overstate the existential threat to our Democracy. It's as if we are just standing around watching it happen.

I will never, ever forgive those Republicans who sit in the seats of power and are silent. Not a single profile in courage.

SHAME!

2. Treason?

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were tried, convicted, and executed for sharing top-secret government information with Russia. We already know that Trump shared top-secret intelligence provided by Israel with Russia. What other top-secret information will he be sharing with Putin during their one-on-one meeting where no American will be allowed? What Trump is doing with NATO is deliberately destroying long-term alliances, to Russia’s benefit, that help keep us safe. Not only do they provide logistical support for the fight against ISIS and Al Queda, they also provide intelligence to our national security groups, which includes all types of intelligence on Islamic radicals but also on Russia’s actions. If they decide to stop sharing because they know Putin has a direct pipeline from the White House, our national security will be seriously degraded. Of course, there is no way to prove Trump’s treasonous actions unless he is deliberately fed fake information that the CIA can track to see if Russia acts on it. I hope the CIA has done just that for Trump’s meeting with Putin, though I doubt they have. We have a president working for the benefit of another country. Sigh.

And pulling out of NATO is quite possibly one of the worst ideas they've ever had. If anything this is going to invite more terror attacks on US soil. And the fucking deplorables are cheerleading this shit. In a war on terror, doesn't that make them terrorists by association?

The entire discussion doesnt change until we speak louder than his voters and we get these guys out.

I would be ok with Trump being the first american president to be taken to jail.

Democrats have to play hard ball.
