I’ve spent 68 yrs in this nation. I’ve seen moments sublime, mediocre, and regrettable. But I have never, til this moment witnessed such a large swarth of our countrymen so willing to participate and hasten the handing over of our fought for rebublic to a sworn foreign enemy.

1. When the original Hell Boy speaks....

People should listen.

3. True that!

[yuiyoshida]

10. My first thought

other than his signature "OH CRAP..."

[MagickMuffin]

2. It truly boggles the mind, Doesn't IT

All my life growing up the republicons made everyone left of their ideologies as communist loving hippies on that one!

And yet all along it was them who are the TRAITORS!!!

[bronxiteforever]

4. +1. It was the orange instead of the red menace!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

26. Projection.

Lord Fatass was signaling/projecting this on Democrats from the start.

Blaming hippies (code for “libruls”) was the same.

5. I just had a similar conversation with my neighbor

He's a Vietnam Vet who spent his career in the military. Both of us can hardly process what is happening to our country.
It's especially maddening that the GOP just sits on their hands doing nothing about it.

[bronxiteforever]

6. +1 Especially since the Russians are trying to do it again for 2018

GOP still hunting Clinton’s emails while leaving the door open for Vlad and his gulags.

[Martin Eden]

7. "the GOP just sits on their hands doing nothing about it"

No, they ARE doing something -- they're trying to subvert the FBI and are working towards impeaching the assistant AG in order to end the Mueller investigation into Russia's attack on our democracy.

The GOP is actively working against the efforts of US law enforcement on behalf of a POtuS whose actions substantially benefit a foreign adversary.

[lunatica]

12. Don't forget making sure the rich, like them

get their tax breaks. That’s probably the #1 reason their “sitting on their hands”

[bronxiteforever]

15. Yup and that matches the Putin oligarchs as well.

[DesertRat]

18. Very true

We were talking specifically about our Sen. Flake who comes out with strongly worded statements like this one:

But, is in a position of power and does NOTHING to stop him.

[lastlib]

20. They're clearing the path.......

......along the new road to serfdom. Removing the obstacles to authoritarian slavery set up by our founding fathers and their successors. Fascism has come to America, and its name is "GOPee"/"Trumpski".

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. Swath, not swarth.

[whathehell]

24. Right.

That typo is the most important part of his message.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

27. It certainly makes the message mean something entirely different from what was intended.

[druidity33]

29. Really? Not so much...

Swarth means...
"Swarth is defined as turf or soil that is covered by grass."

Swath means...
"a row or line of grass, grain, or other crop as it lies when mown or reaped."

So i don't know about "entirely different"

[whathehell]

30. No one else seemed confused,

but whatever.

[peggysue2]

9. Perlman makes an important point

We've seen the Trumpster's & Republican enablers go from the investigation is a hoax/witch hunt phase to the never-ending 'No Collusion' shout outs to the 'so what if the Russians interfered.'

Just this morning Rand Paul was saying we should let the past go and move forward. Of course, he also added the 'whataboutism' details of US interference in other countries which is suppose to negate what Putin and his co-conspirators actually did.

Really?

The Trumpster can't even admit that Putin is a dictator. "Maybe," he said. "I don't know but it would be better if we were friends."

Again, really?

And when asked if he would bring up the Russian military officers named in Mueller's indictment, he said, "I haven't really thought about it."

Anyone who still supports or makes excuses for the Imposter-in-Chief is a treason weasel in my book. Sorry, you don't get to sell out your country and then call yourself a patriot.

TREASON WEASAL

Write it across your forehead because that's what you are.

[bronxiteforever]

14. [phone] should be addendum to the tweet!

[Farmer-Rick]

11. I had to log in just to recommend this post

I have been busy and haven't posted much. I barely get time to read the front page anymore. But when I read this it spelled out exactly how I felt. So, I had to log in just to recommend this post.

As a retired member of the armed forces, I am so aghast to see the GOP embracing treason and Russia like a baby embraces their mother. I earned a medal, as did all my peers who fought, for winning the cold war. Now that medal has no meaning. While Russian agents continue their cyber attacks on our infrastructure, the Republicans are handing our Victory over to the enemy we once vanquished. It is a very sad day for America. I had no idea how full of gloating traitors the party of Lincoln had become.

[roscoeroscoe]

21. Roger that

Same thing here, still serving but wow, never expected this kind of mess!

Treason!

[calimary]

13. Yeah. No freakin' kidding!

Only three years behind you, and feeling the same way.

[Nitram]

16. My sentiments, exactly.

Are they going to wake up in time?

[Onyrleft]

17. Non sequiter

He did both the French and English translations of the grossly under looked City Of Lost Children.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

28. Great movie.

Didn’t know Ron Perlman was multitalented.

[Honeycombe8]

19. "Me, too" I couldn't have said it better. nt

[BlueJac]

22. k&R

[certainot]

23. turn on any rw radio station and hear the excuses and lies over and over

at the press conf with trump reporter asked trump about the intel assessment that russia attacked us and trump just turned it into an attack on hillary, which is exactly what 1500 radio stations do any time that subject comes up

and i would be very surprised if the russians haven't been calling those radio stations, maybe for many years

25. Surrender without a fight
